#BIRTHDAY: Franka from Croatia is 28 today Our friends in Croatia have had their ups and downs over the years. Sadly, it’s been mainly downs lately. But they should take comfort that anyone can win our favourite TV show. Just look at Portugal. But even though they’re not […]
BIRTHDAY: Michael Schulte from Germany is 30 today We need to bear in mind that part performance is no guide to future performance. Some countries win, completely out of the blue, and then sink back into obscurity. Or a country could have one really bad rogue result amid […]
BIRTHDAY: Fabrizio Moro from Italy is 45 today If you could put money on the next country of the Big Five to win, who would you pick? Germany was the last of them to win, but that was a long time ago now. But that leaves Spain, France, […]
BIRTHDAY: Rasmussen from Denmark is 35 today Denmark. A fine country eh? Full of bacon, pastries and the odd singer. And once you get them talking in their own language, you’ll be more amazed than at any time in your life. They’ve sent acts of all shapes an […]
BIRTHDAY: Amaia from Spain is 21 today As you’ll know, we pick performers from all years when we celebrate birthdays here. You’ll relish the black & white of some, but equally you’ll enjoy the “4K HD-ness” of the more recent contests. As it happens, today we go all […]

BIRTHDAY: Jenifer Brening is 23 today Is it me, or are there more false flaggers than ever now? And false flaggers whose native land already participates? Often there’s a home element to every entry, but it’s not always the case. If you’re a small country like, say, San […]

HALLOWE’EN: Eurovision goes bump in the night Hallowe’en and Eurovision. Does it scare you? Do you tremble on 31 October when you get a sinister knock at your door? Are you relieved when you find out it’s only the local kids going trick-or-treating? Or do you leave the […]
BIRTHDAY: Cláudia Pascoal from Portugal is 25 today That thing where you represent your country, in your country. There’s no pressure at all, oh dear me no. Seriously, it must be an honour, knowing that you have huge home support in that crowd. In 2018 – if you […]
BIRTHDAY: Mikolas Josef from the Czech Republic is 24 today Here’s a thing that doesn’t come along very often. Some countries seem awash with birthdays. Maybe because they’ve been participating since the early days. But others need to be savoured as they don’t happen very often. Today’s birthday […]
BIRTHDAY: Benjamin Ingrosso from Sweden is 22 today We all love a Swedish song. Well, for some fans the contest begins and ends with the country of the yellow cross on a blue field. Admittedly, they have put some choons forward in their time (Sweden that is, not […]
