#BIRTHDAY: Kenan Doğulu from Turkey is 46 today Let’s be honest – our friends in Turkey are sorely missed from our favourite TV show. They added that bit of exotica to proceedings, and were gunning for another win when they abruptly stopped coming along in 2012. Over the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Claudia Beni from Croatia is 34 today Back in the 1990s (remember them?), when that pesky new crop of countries wanted in to our favourite TV show, we always thought some of these new breed would win very soon. Just take 1994 for example, when two of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Wyn Hoop from Germany is 84 today Do you ever get confused by song titles? You expect a song in a certain language because of the title, and you get something else? Songs in Serbo-Croat with English titles for example. Today’s birthday boy Wyn Hoop (né Winfried […]
STAGGY: Review of 2020 Part I Our friend Staggy has been mulling over the choices made by the broadcasters around Europe (and beyond). We normally can’t keep him quiet, but for now he insists that a picture can paint a thousand words. But what did he think of […]
BIRTHDAY: Nadine Beiler from Austria is 30 today Some countries have had a patchy relationship with our favourite TV show. Take Italy for example. They took over a decade out, and have been pushing for a win since. Then there are our friends in Austria. It’s been a […]

#BIRTHDAY: Aliona Moon from Moldova is 31 today We know that anyone can win our favourite TV show, whether it’s that Nordic country that many fans have as their default 12 points, or whether it’s that outsider that captures the zeitgeist before sinking back into obscurity. But have […]
#BIRTHDAY: Silje Vige from Norway is 36 today Can you imagine how it feels if you’re closing a contest. And not just closing any old contest, but closing the biggest contest the world had ever seen at the time. And imaging doing all of this if you were […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lena from Germany is 29 today The 2020 Eurovision season is over. Or at least would have been over, had it happened on Saturday. But birthdays go on. For some birthday at this time of year, we might still have been in a Eurovision season. Is it […]
BIRTHDAY: Merethe Trøan from Norway is 50 today Do you remember the old days? When the contest was all done and dusted in one night, and none of these new Europeans were able to do their thing? Well 1992 was probably the last ‘old’ contest as we know […]
