#BIRTHDAY: Kate Miller-Heidke from Australia is 44 today You have three minutes. You have to make an impression. Maybe your vocals are beyond compare. But are they enough? Do you need that extra something to give you the edge? What could it be? In 2019, today’s birthday girl […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anna Odobescu from Moldova is 34 today Our favourite TV show can be a springboard to stardom. Or it could be a time to perform on TV before you go back to working at Starbucks*. We always hope it’s the former scenario that wins out. Today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Carlotta Truman from Germany is 26 today Have you noticed that some countries seem to be in the doldrums? No, not the windless areas near the equator, but in our favourite TV show. They try their hardest, put loads of effort in, and yet don’t yield a […]
#BIRTHDAY: Joci Pápai from Hungary is 44 today Eurovision these days is all about English, isn’t it? No other language gets a look in, does it? English is always the way forward. It wasn’t necessarily the case in 2017, and non-English songs have now won two of the […]

#BIRTHDAY: Darude from Finland is 50 today Can you spot a winner from a first listen? Yes? Well, could you spot a candidate for last place at first listen too? It can be tough at the top, but equally tough at the bottom. Imagine the scene. A certain […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nevena Božović from Serbia is 31 today It’s good to celebrate people in Eurovision circles that blaze a trail. Those that do achieve a first. Like Milly Scott for example. Or even Lys Assia. Today it’s birthday girl Невена Божовић/Nevena Božović (now Ивановић/Ivanović). Why, you may ask, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Roko from Croatia is 25 today Eurovision attracts singers both young and old. We’ve had nonagenarians on stage. And mere children. Well, not the children any more, but never forget our show’s history. Today we have a singer who was towards the younger end of the spectrum […]
