#BIRTHDAY: José Velez from Spain is 71 today There’s often a debate over whether a national final or an internal selection is the right way to go. A national final, and you run the risk of the public picking a novelty. Our friends in Spain generally went down […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kari from Finland is 62 today The free language rule. It’s part and parcel of the typical Eurovision experience. But in the 1980s it was a different story. Countries could only sing in languages of their own country. It perhaps gave an advantage to those more commonly-spoke […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tomas N’evergreen from Denmark is 53 today What do you think of the duo? A good idea? It’s true that with two people sharing the load, it takes some of the stress out of being on a massive stage. And as a viewer, it’s likely you might […]
#BIRTHDAY: Elina Konstantopoulou from Greece is 52 today Have you ever thought what the stars of Eurovision have to go through on the big night? Apart from the pressure of representing their country that is. Well, just spare a thought if you’re the last to sing in the […]

#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: Krassimir Avramov from Bulgaria is 50 today Treat is a word that’s bandied around very easily. Today is a genuine treat, a feast for eye and ear, and it makes you wonder why a tour de force like this didn’t make it to the Grand Final in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Malena Ernman from Sweden is 52 today Yes, we pick on that powerhouse with the blue-and-yellow flag today. You’re probably already sitting up to see which lucky Swede it is. Well read on. Today’s birthday girl Sara Magdalena ‘Malena’ Ernman had a go at that very interesting […]
