#BIRTHDAY: Elena Tsagrinou from Cyprus is 28 today What do you think of those fan favourite songs? There’s usually one every year. Are you fully on board with them, and think they’re the best things ever? Do you like them for what they are – another pleasant song? […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jeangu Macrooy from the Netherlands is 29 today 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 not to win again. For the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vasil from North Macedonia is 38 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 31 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: Victoria from Bulgaria is 25 today That class of 2020, eh? They keep amazing us with their also being the class of 2021. It was commendable of the various TV companies continuing to back them, and it was ironic the winners of 2021 weren’t there in 2020. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lesley Roy from Ireland is 36 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 43 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: Destiny from Malta is 20 today Eurovision can be a harsh beast. It lures you in with the promises of riches, fame and probably a lifetime’s supply of marzipan. Then throw in a generous dose of voting and those dreams come crashing down. Back in November 2015 […]
