#BIRTHDAY: Montaigne from Australia is 30 today After a couple of years of up-in-the-airness in the early 2020s, our favourite TV show is now more back on an even keel. Yes, that’s a mix of metaphors but we can continue to be hopeful for 2026 and beyond. Now […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kateryna Pavlenko from Ukraine is 37 today Until it was abandoned, the 2020 contest was shaping up to be a classic contest. A number of countries were being touted for a win, including some of those that ‘get’ Eurovision, and one or two others. Of course, we’ll […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ulrikke from Norway is 30 today Remember 2020? It’s a long time ago now, but it may still give you the shakes. Contests were cancelled, we couldn’t socialise, and the whole world went just a little bit mad. Our favourite TV show was cancelled, but every participant […]
#BIRTHDAY: Benny Cristo from Czechia is 38 today It was perhaps justice for those in the Class of 2020 that a large number of them got the gig in 2021. Some of them must have thought their luck had run out when the whole world shut down. There […]
#BIRTHDAY: Efendi from Azerbaijan is 34 today It was in 2020 when things changed. That contest we were all looking forward to in Rotterdam was almost upon us, and then it got cancelled. Luckily, for many of the acts chosen, they got a free pass to 2021 when […]
#BIRTHDAY: Stefania from Greece is 22 today It’s often a thing that singers sometimes sing for another country to where you think they should sing for. There are often valid reasons, and it’s of course down to a national broadcaster who they give the gig to. Today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tornike Kipiani from Georgia is 37 today The early 2020s were not that long ago, yet they seem like an age now. A contest was cancelled and a certain Mr Laurence became the only one to be a champion for two years. And a crop of performers […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vincent Bueno from Austria is 39 today Do you ever think some performers get a really bad deal? You can tell that they can definitely carry a song in a bucket. Then throw them into competition and they maybe get a song that doesn’t quite suit that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vasil from North Macedonia is 40 today Those performers selected for 2020 but ended up performing a year later. They were a patient bunch. And some must have thought they’d blown their chance when the 2020 contest was cancelled. Today’s birthday boy Васил Гарванлиев/Vasil Garvanliev had to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Blas Cantó from Spain is 33 today If you recall, it seemed like there were hundreds of performers who didn’t get the 2020 gig but were then kept on for Rotterdam 2021. Actually, the number was far less than that but it’s a nice thought to hold. […]
