#BIRTHDAY: Tornike Kipiani from Georgia is 37 today The early 2020s were not that long ago, yet they seem like an age now. A contest was cancelled and a certain Mr Laurence became the only one to be a champion for two years. And a crop of performers […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vincent Bueno from Austria is 39 today Do you ever think some performers get a really bad deal? You can tell that they can definitely carry a song in a bucket. Then throw them into competition and they maybe get a song that doesn’t quite suit that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vasil from North Macedonia is 40 today 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 had to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Blas Cantó from Spain is 33 today 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 to hold. […]

#BIRTHDAY: Jendrik from Germany is 30 today Eurovision is an odd thing. The songs stoke emotions that are sometimes quite strong. How is it that a combination of notes can be loved or hated so much? And hate can be such a strong word. In sunny Rotterdam, not […]
#BIRTHDAY: Montaigne from Australia is 29 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 2025. Now in all […]
#BIRTHDAY: Samanta Tīna from Latvia is 35 today 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 how good […]
