#BIRTHDAY: Adrian Lulgjuraj from Albania is 43 today Don’t you just love our favourite TV show for its masses of different styles? You can have good old Scandi-Schlager, followed by good old Adriatic ballad, followed by something completely insane. There’s something for everyone. Some styles feature more than […]
#BIRTHDAY: Katri Helena from Finland is 78 today Do you ever see a performer and think “they have class”? That performer who doesn’t need to try. They have a stage presence, and have the audience in the palm of their hand. They may not win, but they are […]
