#BIRTHDAY: Kølig Kaj from Denmark is 50 today Rap. Is there a musical genre that divides opinion more? It’s always a higher risk style than, say, Schlager or the good old-fashioned ballad. No matter, it can be notable when we see rap at out favourite TV show. In […]
#BIRTHDAY: Margot Eskens from Germany is 82 today You must have been thinking that I’m only picking the birthdays of recent performers. That is, in part, true. I know many of you have no knowledge of contests before 2000, but there were 44 of them. And, dear reader, […]

#BIRTHDAY: Nina from Serbia is 32 today Many of the performers at our favourite TV show are out-and-out singers or musicians. They might do other stuff, but usually as a hobby. But there are those where the singing is the hobby, and they have a ‘proper’ job. Today’s […]
