BIRTHDAY: Tijana Bogićević from Serbia is 38 today Balkan, Balkan, Balkan. And so on. That’s where we are today, and things have a definite Cyrillic flavour. We’re with a country that burst onto the Eurovision scene in 2007. That’s Serbia. Yes, the place who’s capital is Belgrade had […]

BIRTHDAY: Alex Florea from Romania is 28 today Duets! Is there nothing more exciting than two people singing the same song. Will they perform in harmony? Will they try and out-do each others? Will they stand centimetres apart and shout? That’s what makes them so watchable. An added […]

BIRTHDAY: Ilinca from Romania is 21 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 […]

BIRTHDAY: Jacques Houdek from Croatia is 38 today Singer, writer. It’s a well-trodden path. If you’re a singer worth your salt, you may have dabbled in songwriting too. It implies that you can sing, and understand how music properly works. No, I’m not rambling. I’m leading up to […]

BIRTHDAY: Lucie Jones from the UK is 28 today What do you think of the Big Five? Should they get an automatic place in the final, or should they have to go through the semi-finals like the rest of us? It’s true that the Big Five do have […]

BIRTHDAY: Svala from Iceland is 42 today They say that the music business can be a difficult one to get into, which is probably why the current crop of talent shows around Europe won’t go away. Of course, many recent performers have come via that route. But there’s […]
