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 […]
BIRTHDAY: Jessica Mauboy from Australia is 30 today Eurovision is all about Europe. No, not quite – it includes the Mediterranean nations too. Oh, wait, there are a whole load of associate members who would be in the EBU if it wasn’t for some irksome geography. Hmmm, but […]
BIRTHDAY: Laura Rizzotto from Latvia is 25 today Each country enters our favourite TV show with high hopes. After all, their host broadcaster and national public have put their faith in the lucky performer, so they’ve got some backing already. However, you, as the performer, may see what […]
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 […]
BIRTHDAY: SuRie from the UK is 30 today You might be a little weary of Eurovision after super Saturday – and Sunday. Or you might be wanting more and more and more. And did you spot one of Saturday’s winning song titles? And that tenuous link brings me […]

The festival – organized by the Romanian TV broadcaster TVR – is traditionaly held in Brasov, one of the most beautiful cities in Romania. Lots of international artists have taken the […]
Every year before the delegations arrive, a team or stand-in rehearse the songs to make sure that everyting is ready and in place: choreography, stage appearance, lighting, special effects, camera work, etc. Cesar Sampson’s song (from Austria) won the jurie’s hearts, but didn’t quite manage to do the same […]
