#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: James Newman from the UK is 37 today Eurovision fans love a record breaker. The singer who scored the most points. The country that’s won the most times. The first song to include the word ‘unbeknownest’. They all have their place. Other records are less coveted by […]
#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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jendrik from Germany is 28 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 27 today After a couple of years of up-in-the-airness, our favourite TV show is getting more back on an even keel. Yes, that’s a mix of metaphors but we can at least be hopeful for 2023. Now in all the contests since 1956, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Daði Freyr from Iceland is 30 today 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 like it, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gjon’s Tears from Switzerland is 24 today As we know, past performance is no guarantee of future performance. As saw in Torino/Turin, a certain country who were runners-up in 2021 finished 24th in 2022. One country that could be worth watching is Switzerland. Places in the last […]
