#BIRTHDAY: Ledina Çelo from Albania is 45 today It can be a strange thing being a country’s second ever participant in our favourite TV show. Especially if the first entrant did well. That second entrant has a hard act to follow. In 2005, today’s birthday girl Ledina Çelo […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lars A Fredriksen from Norway is 51 today It’s been 23 long years since the free language rules was re-introduced. Is it a good thing? Well, there have only been three winners since 1999 that had no English in them. So is it a good thing? Well, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mayte Mateos is 71 today There are songs out there that tick lots of boxes. A competent stage act, a potential winner, even a bit of false-flagness thrown in for good measure. And maybe an act that has form in the ‘muggle’ music industry. Today’s birthday girl […]
#BIRTHDAY: Albina from Croatia is 23 today Those performers who we saw at the 2021 edition of our favourite TV show must have felt a bit short-changed. They couldn’t properly socialise, and the most they saw of Rotterdam was the venue and their hotel room. You have yo […]
#ITALY: And the winner is… The 72nd Sanremo is over, and we have a winner, who will hopefully go to represent Italy at the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest in Turin in May. And it will be… Mahmood & Blanco with Brividi Has Italy made the right choice? Should […]

#BIRTHDAY: Alexia from Cyprus is 58 today I’m feeling old today. I remember songs from the 1980s as if they were yesterday. And here we are in the third decade of the 21st Century. There’s a story I love about today’s birthday girl Αλέξια Βασιλείου/Alexia Vasiliou. Our host […]
#IRELAND: And the winner is… Ireland has hosted its first national final since 2015, and of the six contenders, RTÉ will be sending Brooke Scullion to Turin in May with the song That’s rich. It’s written by Brooke, along with Izzy Warner and Karl Zine Brooke – That’s […]

#BIRTHDAY: Tijana from North Macedonia is 46 today We’ve got a trier today. You have to admire our friends in North (formerly FYR) Macedonia. They used to make the Grand Final year in year out, sometimes to the consternation of ‘Old Europe’. The rules then changed and North […]
