#BIRTHDAY: 8 June – Rafał from Poland is 45 What did you make of the 2021 contest in Rotterdam. Did we get the result at the top of the leaderboard we deserve? Were there any injustices further down the list? Should a losing semi-finalists have really made it? We […]
#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: 31 Mar – Samanta Tīna from Latvia is 37 For some, taking part in our favourite TV show becomes all-consuming. They try, and try, and try to win that golden ticket to a city somewhere in or near Europe, desperately wanting the chance to show us all […]

#BIRTHDAY: Lesley Roy from Ireland is 39 today 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 that lucky […]
#BIRTHDAY: Flo Rida is 46 today From time to time something happens which is so left-field, you can’t really believe it until you see it. Sometimes this left-field thing is good, and sometimes downright surreal. Portugal’s win in 2017 was good. But we might have an example of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Montaigne from Australia is 30 today After a couple of years of up-in-the-airness in the early 2020s, our favourite TV show is now more back on an even keel. Yes, that’s a mix of metaphors but we can continue to be hopeful for 2026 and beyond. Now […]
