#CHRISTMAS2022: Eurovision Ireland Advent Calendar Day 6 Christmas is a-coming, so we at Eurovision Ireland want to share some notable performances by Eurovision acts of festive songs. Some are standards, and some may be new to you. Today’s song is… Author: John Stanton Source: Eurovision Ireland
#BIRTHDAY: Jeangu Macrooy from the Netherlands is 29 today Ah, the home entrant. So much pressure, and yet so little. Although some countries have been daring enough to win a home contest (or two), we’re pretty sure it’s often the host broadcaster not to win again. For the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vasil from North Macedonia is 38 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 31 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. […]
#BIRTHDAY: James Newman from the UK is 37 today Eurovision fans love a record breaker. The singer who scored the most points. The country that’s won the most times. The first song to include the word ‘unbeknownest’. They all have their place. Other records are less coveted by […]
#BIRTHDAY: Victoria from Bulgaria is 25 today That class of 2020, eh? They keep amazing us with their also being the class of 2021. It was commendable of the various TV companies continuing to back them, and it was ironic the winners of 2021 weren’t there in 2020. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lesley Roy from Ireland is 36 today That class of 2020, eh? How unlucky were they? They get all dressed up and have nowhere in Rotterdam to go. That is, until 2021 when some of them get that second bite at the cherry. One of that lucky […]
#BIRTHDAY: Destiny from Malta is 20 today Eurovision can be a harsh beast. It lures you in with the promises of riches, fame and probably a lifetime’s supply of marzipan. Then throw in a generous dose of voting and those dreams come crashing down. Back in November 2015 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Montaigne from Australia is 27 today After a couple of years of up-in-the-airness, our favourite TV show is getting more back on an even keel. Yes, that’s a mix of metaphors but we can at least be hopeful for 2023. Now in all the contests since 1956, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Daði Freyr from Iceland is 30 today Do you ever see social media posts telling us about ‘the real winner’? It’s clear that the ‘real winner’ is the one that gets the most points under the rules in place of the time. You might not like it, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gjon’s Tears from Switzerland is 24 today As we know, past performance is no guarantee of future performance. As saw in Torino/Turin, a certain country who were runners-up in 2021 finished 24th in 2022. One country that could be worth watching is Switzerland. Places in the last […]
#BIRTHDAY: Uku Suviste from Estonia is 40 today We’ve got another of the Class of 2021 today. You know the Class – Some of them were the unlucky ones from the Class of 2020, who were given another chance. And we know that those alumni from both the […]
#INTERVIEW: James Newman at the 2022 London Eurovision Party Eurovision Ireland caught up with the UK’s James Newman. In good spirits, he told us about his life since 2020, and of course his favourite cake. Author: John Stanton Source: Eurovision Ireland
#BIRTHDAY: Samanta Tīna from Latvia is 33 today For some, taking part in our favourite TV show becomes all-consuming. They try, and try, and try to win that golden ticket to a city somewhere in or near Europe, desperately wanting the chance to show us all how good […]
#BIRTHDAY: Roxen from Romania is 22 today After the fun and games of the last two years, there will always be a clutch of performers who were selected for 2020, but only got their chance 12 months later. What will always be a talking point is which of […]
