#BIRTHDAY: Alvan from France is 32 today It’s good to see something different tried at a Eurovision Song Contest. Usually anyway. Sometimes, Schlager can get a bit staid, and how many have suffered death-by-ballad? So something a bit folksy can stand out. Take 2022 for example. Our friends […]
#BIRTHDAY: Cornelia Jakobs from Sweden is 33 today We’ve often said that a gimmick can often help your quest for Eurovision glory. It’s usually something blindingly obvious, like a costume change or a big prop. But it’s not always so. In Torino/Turin, today’s birthday girl Cornelia Jakobs (née […]
#BIRTHDAY: Andrea from North Macedonia is 25 today It’s going to become a thing over the coming years that more and more performers in our favourite TV show were born after 1 January 2000. These 21st Century-ers were once a novelty but they might now start to make […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maro from Portugal is 30 today It’s often a quandary for countries on what type of music to enter in our favourite TV show. Do they go for something generic – Schlager if you will – to appeal to the masses of televotes eager to vote? Or […]

#BIRTHDAY: Stoyan Yankoulov from Bulgaria is 58 today There’s a word I want to use today, as today’s song reminds me of it. It might feature in this article, or I might save it for another time. Our friends in Bulgaria took a while to find their way. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Pia Maria from Austria is 21 today Eurovision can be a fickle thing. One minute you’re finishing top three, the next you’re failing to qualify for the Grand Final. It’s tough, but what can you do? One thing to try is to make your song as current […]
#BIRTHDAY: Amanda Tenfjord from Greece is 27 today We’ve mentioned before that Greece seem to have generally hit their mark in the last 20 years. One win, a couple of third places, and a regular qualifier from semi-finals, you can never write them off. And they sometimes surprise. […]

#BIRTHDAY: S10 from the Netherlands is 23 today Have you noticed something start to happen, and it’ll only happen more and more? yes, it’s the post-2000 births. Those performers who were born after 1 January 2000. They won’t have been alive for three of Sweden’s wins, or the […]
