#BIRTHDAY: 6 Nov – Jeangu Macrooy from the Netherlands is 33 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’s wish not to win […]
#BIRTHDAY: 2 Nov – Vasil from North Macedonia is 42 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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: 26 Oct – Blas Cantó from Spain is 35 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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: 19 Oct – James Newman from the UK is 41 Eurovision fans love a record breaker. The singer who scored the most points. The countries that have won the most times. The first song to include the word ‘unbeknownest’. They all have their place. Other records are […]
#BIRTHDAY: 21 Sept – Victoria from Bulgaria is 29 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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: 17 Sept – Lesley Roy from Ireland is 40 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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: 30 June – Daði Freyr from Iceland is 34 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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: 6 June – Uku Suviste from Estonia is 44 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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: 22 May – Athena Manoukian from Armenia is 32 There’s that exclusive club of performers that was formed in 2020. So exclusive that only around a dozen acts are fully paid-up members. A large number applied, but lost out due to an appearance in 2021. This club […]
#BIRTHDAY: 7 May – Elisa from Portugal is 27 The year 2020 seems a long time ago now. It was the year some thought the world had ended, because their favourite TV show went on hiatus. There were, of course, far more serious things going on. But we’re […]
