#BIRTHDAY: 6 Nov – Jeangu Macrooy from the Netherlands is 33 Ah, the home entrant. So much pressure, and yet so little. Although some countries have been daring enough to win a home contest (or two), we’re pretty sure it’s often the host broadcaster’s wish not to win […]
#BIRTHDAY: 3 Nov – Lulu from the UK is 78 Do you remember when the UK of stuff were good at Eurovision? Yes, since we hit the 21st Century their fortunes have waned a little, aside from a certain performance in Torino/Turin. But in their prime, the BBC […]
#BIRTHDAY: 2 Nov – Vasil from North Macedonia is 42 Those performers selected for 2020 but ended up performing a year later. They were a patient bunch. And some must have thought they’d blown their chance when the 2020 contest was cancelled. Today’s birthday boy Васил Гарванлиев/Vasil Garvanliev […]
#BIRTHDAY: 26 Oct – Blas Cantó from Spain is 35 If you recall, it seemed like there were hundreds of performers who didn’t get the 2020 gig but were then kept on for Rotterdam 2021. Actually, the number was far less than that but it’s a nice thought […]
#BIRTHDAY: 19 Oct – James Newman from the UK is 41 Eurovision fans love a record breaker. The singer who scored the most points. The countries that have won the most times. The first song to include the word ‘unbeknownest’. They all have their place. Other records are […]
#BIRTHDAY: 17 Sept – Lesley Roy from Ireland is 40 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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: 8 August – Sanja Vučić from Serbia is 33 Some of those singers just can’t get enough of our favourite TV show. They keep coming back, just to see if they can win that crystal microphone. But it sometimes happens that they come back again in a slightly […]
#BIRTHDAY: 30 June – Daði Freyr from Iceland is 34 Do you ever see social media posts telling us about ‘the real winner’? It’s clear that the ‘real winner’ is the one that gets the most points under the rules in place of the time. You might not […]
#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 […]
