#BIRTHDAY: Serhat is 58 today Every now and then, Eurovision yields a folk hero. They don’t set out to be renowned, but it just happens to them. And whatever they do, any criticism just bounces off them. In 2019, we saw the Sammarinese send today’s birthday boy Serhat […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kobi Marimi from Israel is 31 today Not so long ago, there had never been any Eurovision singers’ birthday of note (that we knew of) on this date, and then two came along at once. We celebrated one last year, so it’s the other one’s turn. Today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ester Peony from Romania is 29 today What do you think of stage shows? Should they be kept simple, in order to emphasise a song? Or is there anything wrong in a kickass dance routine or novel staging? Both can work. Just look at the contrast between, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Darude from Finland is 47 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: Jurijus Veklenko from Lithuania is 32 today It must be a thankless task trying to get that first win for your country. For some, it was easier than others. Many people tried before Portugal triumphed, but Serbia got it at the first go. But it’s not just […]
#BIRTHDAY: Oto Nemsadze from Georgia is 33 today Do you ever spot when countries appear to put in songs they like, rather than ones they think can win our favourite TV show? You have to admire them for staying true to themselves. In Tel Aviv, Georgia sent today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nevena Božović from Serbia is 28 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: Duncan Laurence from the Netherlands is 28 today Anyone can win our favourite TV show. A number of countries had had dismal results before they won. You know who they are. And countries who won in the dim and distant past can surprise us all and win […]
#BIRTHDAY: Srbuk from Armenia is 28 today First to perform in a semi-final? Is that a good gig or not? On the plus side, you’re the first to get those rehearsals out of the way. On the minus side, if you don’t make it out of the semi-final, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jonida Maliqi from Albania is 39 today Did you enjoy the Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv. In 2019. You were wearing your blue jumper. It was the one that never seemed to end. Our friends in Albania, more often than not, get through to the final, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Roko from Croatia is 22 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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sebastian Rejman from Finland is 44 today It’s always fun when a big name gets through to represent their country in our favourite TV show. They’ve conquered the proper music scene, but this is a chance for legend status. Of course, it’s a high-risk strategy for that […]

#BIRTHDAY: Kate Miller-Heidke from Australia is 40 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 […]
