#BIRTHDAY: Annie Cotton is 47 today We always say anyone can win our favourite TV show. All it needs is a perfect storm of stuff, and even the country that normally stays in the semi-final can do well. I say this because of what our friends in Switzerland […]
#BIRTHDAY: Luiz Ejlli from Albania is 37 today It’s a thing these days that many songs are in English, or at least partly in English. Some fans are old enough to remember when there was no free language rule. So it’s nice when a country uses its own […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tó Cruz from Portugal is 55 today As you know, our friends in Portugal achieved their victory after the longest ever non-winning streak to date. They had tried everything since their début in 1964. Amongst Portugal’s notable achievements was sending the first black male performer in 1967. […]
#BIRTHDAY: André from Armenia is 43 today It’s début time, and one that saw an expansion into the Caucasus – that area some claim is Europe and some claim is Asia. We’re not going to discuss that geographical question here. Today’s birthday boy Անդրեյ Սերգեյի Հովնանյան/André Sergey Hovnanyan, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Omar Naber from Slovenia is 41 today Many people can claim to have a unique record in our favourite TV show. It could be their country’s only winner. Or the only person to win twice as a performer. More often – probably – are people who share […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jurijus Veklenko from Lithuania is 32 today It must be a thankless task trying to get that first win for your country. For some, it was easier than others. Many people tried before Portugal triumphed, but Serbia got it at the first go. But it’s not just […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lucía Pérez from Spain is 37 today How are you on the free language rule? Do you think it’s fine, or should countries sing in their own languages? Some countries singing in their own languages have done well lately, but it’s not always been the case. However, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nina Badrić from Croatia is 50 today For some people, they try many times to take part in our favourite TV show. We know of many, and some are more notorious than others. You have to admire them, especially if they eventually get there. Our friends in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Aisel from Azerbaijan is 33 today When your country has a good record in our favourite TV show, it puts extra pressure on performers to keep up this tradition. But there will come a time when that country will do badly. In 2018, our friends in Azerbaijan […]
#BIRTHDAY: Eugent Bushpepa from Albania is 38 today There’s an argument that some countries typically enter a certain type of song, probably sung by a certain type of singer. And I don’t mean a certain Sammarinese lady’s many attempts at Eurovision glory. Our friends in Albania often send […]
