BIRTHDAY: Aisel from Azerbaijan is 30 today When your country has a good record in our favourite TV show, it puts extra pressure on performers to keep up this tradition. But there will come a time when that country will do badly. Last year, our friends in Azerbaijan […]
BIRTHDAY: Jean-Karl Lucas from France is 37 today Do you remember 2018? We were in sunny sunny Lisbon. Everyone was tipping certain countries to win. Or do badly. They got some predictions right. And some, well, not quite as right. As with every year recently, the Big Five […]
BIRTHDAY: Alekseev from Belarus is 26 today We all know that staging is key. Yes, it’s a song contest, but sometimes a song needs a costume change or a slick dance routine to squeeze a few extra points out of the jurors and televoters. In 2018, when we […]
BIRTHDAY: Mélovin from Ukraine is 22 today We all know that the road to Eurovision is not always easy. All sorts of things can get in the way of that song a country selects for the hallowed stage in [insert city here]. It’s definitely true this year. As […]
BIRTHDAY: Alfred García from Spain is 22 today You want an up to date song? Do you? Really? Something that still has the shine on it? In other words, a song from 2018? Well you’re in the right place. Do you remember Lisbon? That nicely warm city with […]
BIRTHDAY: Jessika from San Marino is 30 today Coming from one country yet singing for another? Well, it happens as well you know. Maybe more often that we realise. But some countries seem more likely to pick a foreigner than others. If you cast your mind back to […]

Salutare tuturor! Pentru ca am primit multe mesaje pe facebook care ma intrebau care este parerea mea despre ce s-a intamplat aceste zile, m-am gandit ca e cazul sa va raspund. Prima Semi-Finala a fost o batalie la sange efectiv. Foarte multe cantece bune si cu show-uri impresionante. […]
