#BIRTHDAY: Laura Põldvere from Estonia is 34 today As I’ve mentioned before, many songs that we expect to do well, fall at the semi-final stage. We ask ourselves why. Well at least I do. Even more so when our friends in Estonia perform this non-qualifying trick. Admittedly, sometimes […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ilinca from Romania is 24 today It would be a dull old Eurovision if all the songs sounded the same. They obviously don’t, otherwise they’d all finish up with the same number of points. But whilst they all want to stand out, some stand out because they […]
