#BIRTHDAY: Marie N from Latvia is 49 today Do you like a cutting edge lyric? Especially one that people who might not be fans would pick up on. It’s a different matter when it’s looked at in context. The lyric “Ay ay ay ay ay ay…” was actually […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jean-Karl Lucas from France is 40 today Do you remember 2018? We were in sunny sunny Lisbon. Everyone was tipping certain countries to win. Or do badly. They got some predictions right. And some, well, not quite as right. As with every year recently, the Big Five […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nucha from Portugal is 56 today What do you now? It’s more Lusitanian singing that was largely ignored by the juries of Europe. I’ll admit that not everything Portugal did was good, but they deserved better some years. Back in 1990, Eurovision was a simpler affair. We […]
#BIRTHDAY: Glennis Grace from the Netherlands is 44 today Anyone can win the Eurovision Song Contest. There, I’ve said it. We cite the examples of Portugal and Finland. But there are others. Recently we had a win by our friends in the Netherlands. Over the years, the Dutch […]
#BIRTHDAY: Oto Nemsadze from Georgia is 33 today Do you ever spot when countries appear to put in songs they like, rather than ones they think can win our favourite TV show? You have to admire them for staying true to themselves. In Tel Aviv, Georgia sent today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: RiskyKidd from Greece is 28 today Have you noticed an increase in collaborations? No? Well, maybe not necessarily in Eurovision circles, but definitely in the wider world of music. But what happens in music eventually permeates to Eurovision. And in 2014 Greece entered a collaboration between Freaky […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anabel Conde from Spain is 47 today Second, eh? Is there a more annoying position? Well, maybe not if you’re the host broadcaster. But if you’ve travelled half-way across Europe with high hopes, then finishing second and finishing sixteenth are about the same thing. In 1995 when […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nevena Božović from Serbia is 28 today It’s good to celebrate people in Eurovision circles that blaze a trail. Those that do achieve a first. Like Milly Scott for example. Or even Lys Assia. Today it’s birthday girl Невена Божовић/Nevena Božović (now Ивановић/Ivanović). Why, you may ask, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kasia Kowalska from Poland is 49 today Which country would you like to see win for the first time? For me, for years, it was Portugal. Then we had 2017… These days it would have to be somewhere like Malta. Or Georgia. Or maybe Poland. It’s a […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ivo Linna from Estonia is 73 today Hooray! A legend’s birthday! Well, we think he is anyway. It’s from the time when a certain Baltic nation started to show us what it could via the gift of song. It’s a very important thing in that nation. Today’s […]
