#BIRTHDAY: Luminița Anghel from Romania is 52 today Do you think that contests are coming and going quicker than ever? Yes, 2020 didn’t happen, but it doesn’t seem five minutes since Duncan won in Tel Aviv. It was in 2005 – yes, 15 years ago – that today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tereza Kerndlová from Czechia is 34 today We occasionally talk about countries that have the old love/hate relationship with our favourite contest. While your country’s broadcaster may studiously take part every year, there are those that take the odd year out here and there. Our friends in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Paola from Switzerland is 70 today Our friends in Switzerland are in a curious situation. They have lots of languages to choose from, and they can confuse the average casual viewer by entering in a tongue we don’t always expect. Today’s birthday girl Paola Felix (née Paola […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nela Pocisková from Slovakia is 30 today The duet is a curious beast. Two performers that you hope are in tune with each other – in every sense of the word. It’s no good having two randomers just thrown together for a song contest. Today’s birthday girl […]
#BIRTHDAY: Leonora from Denmark is 22 today Sometimes, what you need to get ahead is a really good prop. It could be because you don’t think your song can manage without one, or it could be to enhance an already top-draw song. But it’s the choice of prop […]
#BIRTHDAY: Baby Doll from Yugoslavia is 58 today Being on first can be that double-edged sword. You get your performance out of the way (meaning more time at the bar), you get a nice fresh audience, and who knows, people have won from the front before. Casting your […]
#BIRTHDAY: Elpida from Greece is 70 today Our friends in Greece are having a better time at Eurovision in the 21st Century than they did in the 20th Century. Musical tastes have widened. Greek music was once viewed by some as exotic, but it can now be just […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marianne Mendt from Austria is 75 today We all know that some countries have a love/hate relationship with our favourite TV show. One or two in central Europe are currently taking a breather, and it seems to be a thing for that part of the world. Back […]
#BIRTHDAY: Pastora Soler from Spain is 42 today Do you feel for those countries that haven’t won for a long time? Do you will them to win regardless of the song they enter? Or have they just been unlucky at times? Our friends in Spain haven’t won since […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ryan O’Shaughnessy is 28 today It’s always good to see a success story. One where someone gets through, despite the odds being against them. Which is a tenuous link to Ireland. Those heady days of the 1990s seem a long time ago, and past performance is no […]
