#BIRTHDAY: Kenan Doğulu from Türkiye is 49 today Let’s be honest – our friends in Türkiye/Turkey are sorely missed from our favourite TV show. They added that bit of exotica to proceedings, and were gunning for another win when they abruptly stopped coming along after the 2012 shows. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Claudia Beni from Croatia is 37 today Back in the 1990s (remember them?), when that pesky new crop of countries wanted in to our favourite TV show, we always thought some of these new breed would win very soon. Just take 1994 for example, when two of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Wyn Hoop from Germany is 87 today Do you ever get confused by song titles? You expect a song in a certain language because of the title, and you get something else? Songs in Serbo-Croat with English titles for example. Today’s birthday boy Wyn Hoop (né Winfried […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nadine Beiler from Austria is 33 today Some countries have had a patchy relationship with our favourite TV show. Take Italy for example. They took over a decade out, and eventually won when they chose to. Then there are our friends in Austria. It’s been a bit […]
#BIRTHDAY: Amber from Malta is 32 today It’s often discussed whether certain countries could host our favourite TV show if they won. We know for certain that winning can be a headache for some broadcasters. The Mediterranean’s happiest rock has never hosted the big ESC, but they do […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kathy Leander from Switzerland is 60 today Our friends from the heights of Europe that calls itself the Swiss Confederation have been stalwarts of Eurovision from the start. As you would expect, in almost seventy year’s worth of participation, there have been highs and lows. We all […]
#BIRTHDAY: Max Mutzke from Germany is 42 today Since the advent of the in-situ semi-finals in 2004, the Big Four/Five have always had their place in the Grand Final assured. Some disagree with this, but it can add that extra je ne sais quoi to proceedings. In that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ott Lepland from Estonia is 36 today It’s always good when a singer’s birthday comes along whose song is a personal favourite. And when it’s perhaps a Baltic song, even better. And it comes from an excellent year. Estonia has only had one win so far, but […]
#BIRTHDAY: Can Bonomo from Türkiye is 36 today It’s always sad when a country decides to sit out our favourite TV show. We had a now-absent country yesterday, and we have another one today. Back in 2012, we saw the last entry to date from Türkiye/Turkey. We want […]
#BIRTHDAY: TWiiNS from Slovakia are 37 today Two birthdays for the price of one. Always a bonus, don’t you think? But as you’ll gather, a fair number of twins have taken part in our favourite TV show. There is always this fascination with twins, whether they’re tumbling around […]
#BIRTHDAY: Glen Vella from Malta is 40 today There are countries out there desperate to win the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time. Desperate, and will try any approach to do so. But is there a secret formula that other countries are keeping to themselves? In other […]
With the semi finals done and dusted for another year, it’s time for one of our most popular annual articles – let’s find out which countries have had their qualification rates improved the most by reaching the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 and who has […]
#BIRTHDAY: Evelin Samuel from Estonia is 48 today Have you ever thought of the journeys some performers have to make to get to a Eurovision venue? Things might be slightly different these days, and Australia travelling anywhere takes the record now, but it wasn’t always this way. Whilst […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lill Lindfors from Sweden is 83 today Yesterday we had a lady from Sweden in this slot. And guess, what, here comes another one. Flickorna tar över, as they say in sunny Örebro. Now, Sahlene could only manage a pitiful third in her contest, and she was […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anna Sahlene is 47 today That thing when your country wins, meaning you have to host next year. If you’re that winning broadcaster, it must be a year-long headache. Venue, date, theme, hosts – they all must be a nightmare. On top of all that, you still […]
