#BIRTHDAY: Rachel from France is 78 today We should remember that our contest isn’t all about what’s happening now. It has a rich history that we should celebrate. I’m sure everyone out there has favourites from former times. But there are those we hear less. As you may […]
#BIRTHDAY: Olexandr from Ukraine is 47 today The joy of being your country’s first ever entrant in our favourite TV show. You’ve gone where no-one from your country has ever been before, and no-one can take away the fact you were the first. Your status as your country’s […]
