#BIRTHDAY: Lukas Meijer is 34 today Time for a false flagger. It shouldn’t make any difference whether you’re singing for your own country or another one. However some countries have permeated the general fabric of Eurovision more than others. Our friends in Poland are still looking for that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Cesár Sampson from Austria is 39 today We occasionally bang on about any country being capable of winning our favourite TV show. Some have that fluke result, some are knocking on the door of winning most years, and some blow hot and cold. Today we go to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Aisel from Azerbaijan is 33 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. In 2018, our friends in Azerbaijan […]
#BIRTHDAY: Eugent Bushpepa from Albania is 38 today There’s an argument that some countries typically enter a certain type of song, probably sung by a certain type of singer. And I don’t mean a certain Sammarinese lady’s many attempts at Eurovision glory. Our friends in Albania often send […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jean-Karl Lucas from France is 40 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: Franka from Croatia is 30 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: Ari Ólafsson from Iceland is 24 today There are, occasionally, times when you come across a song. There’s nothing wrong with it, but you know it will sadly fail at the semi-final stage. It’s not the fault of the singer, or the song. It’s just, well, stuff. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alexander Rybak from Norway is 36 today Some songs have just scraped a win, and some have won at a canter. Did you prefer the close contest, or should there by a time when a runaway runaway winner is a good thing? Occasionally a song comes along […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sennek from Belgium is 32 today Our friends in Belgium have only ever had one win, despite competing in our favourite TV show since the year dot. They’ve had a couple of near misses, but of the seven originals, that second won proves elusive. With Belgium, there’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Christabelle from Malta is 30 today As we know, for performers at least, Eurovision can be a drug. With the prospect of international fame (or infamy), many performers try to represent their country before they get there. Some even try again after they’ve done it. Our friends […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alfred García from Spain is 25 today Do you want a song from the late 2010s? Do you? Really? Something that still has a bit of a shine on it? In other words, a song from 2018? Well you’re in the right place. Do you remember Lisbon? […]
#BIRTHDAY: Netta Barzilai from Israel is 29 today As we know, when the contest takes place, there has to be a winner. It may not be every fan’s favourite song. But the vocal fans only make up a tiny proportion of the people who vote, so it’s possible […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rasmussen from Denmark is 37 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 […]
#HALL OF FAME: Welcome to inductees seven and eight Here at Eurovision Ireland, we want to celebrate those most illustrious people who have made our favourite TV show the thing that it is today. In each edition, we’ll induct two performer or personalities from somewhere in Eurovision land. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Benjamin Ingrosso from Sweden is 24 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 […]
