#BIRTHDAY: Saara Aalto from Finland is 37 today Our friends in Finland have had a very spotty time at Eurovision. Only one win in xxx years, and very little else in the higher positions. It matters not, especially to the fans. They will love certain countries/acts/songs, however well […]
#BIRTHDAY: Michael Schulte from Germany is 34 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: Waylon from the Netherlands is 44 today If you’ve been a runner-up in our favourite TV show, it must be tempting to try again for the win. Several individuals have achieved this, but even more have not. It’s high risk, but could really burnish your credentials as […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jenifer Brening is 27 today Is it us, 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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: MIkolas Josef from Czechia is 28 today Here’s a thing that doesn’t come along very often. Some countries seem awash with birthdays.

#BIRTHDAY: Benjamin Ingrosso from Sweden is 26 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 34 today There are lots of exclusive Eurovision clubs out there. Double winners. Singers performing back-to-back entries. Or that other one – singers who first performed in an interval act before getting the main gig. We can only think of two. One […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mélovin from Ukraine is 26 today If you want to get ahead, you need a showstopper of a song. It’s obvious, isn’t it. But how to stop that show? With a song that you can’t help falling in love with? Or with a bonkers stage show? Both […]
#BIRTHDAY: Fabrizio Moro from Italy is 48 today If you could put money on the next country of the Big Five to win, who would you pick? Italy was the last of them to win, but who’s to say that they couldn’t win again? Aside from winning in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jessika Muscat is 34 today It’s always interesting how some countries choose their singers and songs. Some go internal, or there’s the bog standard national final. Or you could be innovative. Like a certain event in 2018. Our friends in San Marino tried something different in 2018. […]
