BIRTHDAY: Srbuk from Armenia is 26 today First to perform in a semi-final? Is that a good gig or not? On the plus side, you’re the first to get those rehearsals out of the way. On the minus side, if you don’t make it out of the semi-final, […]
BIRTHDAY: Goran Karan from Croatia is 56 today Over the years, some countries have been gunning for a win, only for that time to pass without success. They then slip back into obscurity. Of course, past performance is no guide to future performance. But when you look at […]
BIRTHDAY: Yannis Savvidakis from Cyprus is 57 today We mentioned a duet the other day, and how with two performers, you’re likely to tick more boxes. And more ticked boxes mean more votes – or so you’d hope. Not that many duets have won our favourite TV show […]
BIRTHDAY: Sabrina from Portugal is 38 today Do you ever wonder what goes through the minds of defeated semi-finalists? Do you think they expect to fall at the semi-final stage? Or are there thoroughly disappointed? Eleventh place must be that most unlucky of positions. You only just miss […]

BIRTHDAY: Lidia Isac from Moldova is 27 today Which country would like to see win the contest for the first time? And would you go there if they did? Several countries are gunning for it. Let’s take Moldova for example. Not always a ‘fashionable’ country, but with some […]
BIRTHDAY: Jonida Maliqi from Albania is 37 today Did you enjoy the last Eurovision Song Contest. You must remember, it was in Tel Aviv. You were wearing your blue jumper. It hardly seems 10 months ago that we were by the sunny Mediterranean. Our friends in Albania, more […]
BIRTHDAY: Emma Marrone from Italy is 36 today Our friends in Italy have done fairly well since they can back from exile. Seven top 10 finishes in their last nine attempts, including two runner-up spots. Which other of the Big Five can boast that record? Of course, for […]
BIRTHDAY: Gaitana from Ukraine is 39 today Do you have parents from two completely different places? Is one parent from Ireland and the other from Israel, for example? It’s great when you can benefit from two different cultures. It shows that this world isn’t so big after all. […]
