BIRTHDAY: Carlos do Carmo is 80 today We’ve seen many changes in Europe since Eurovision started in 1956. Countries have come and gone, revolutions have happened. And through it all, countries still have the chance to put these changes behind them and send us a song. In the […]
BIRTHDAY: Anna Vissi is 62 today As you’ll know, there have been 64 contests. So that means 64 home entries. We had one yesterday, and we’ve got another one today. Are you excited yet? Today’s birthday girl Άννα Βίσση/Anna Vissi was the home entrant in 2006, but more […]
