#BIRTHDAY: Gina G is 53 today If you were a Eurovision performer, eagerly awaiting the draw for the Grand Final, what would your worse fear be? Being on first? Being on last? Being on second maybe? I would wager your average performer wouldn’t know about the curse of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Emma Booth from the UK is 49 today Eurovision is mainly a young person’s game. Yes, even with the Junior version of our favourite TV show, the majority of performers at the senior even are in their teens and twenties. It must be the optimism of youth. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Filipa Azevedo from Portugal is 32 today What were you doing 13 years ago? Were you an ardent fan? Had you even discovered the contest? Or were you thinking it was time to take up hang-gliding instead of staying in on a Saturday night in May? If […]
#BIRTHDAY: Chanel from Spain is 32 today Do you love hype? That thing where a tune ends up being secondary to the personality that’s singing it? Or that thing when the fannage have already decided a certain song has won four weeks before that Grand Final? In other […]
#BIRTHDAY: Isabelle Aubret from France is 85 today It’s about time we had a winner. And it’s about time we had something in glorious black & white. So when those two parts of a Venn diagram work, it’s only right we oblige. Back in 1962, France notched up […]

#BIRTHDAY: Rui Bandeira from Portugal is 50 today Every Eurovision song will have its fans. Yes, even that one that you, dear reader, can’t stand. Someone will like it. It’s not so much songs are hated, they are more forgotten. In other news, do you remember 1999? We […]
#BIRTHDAY: Märyon from Monaco is 36 today We know that a certain (almost) microstate will return in 2024, possibly singing in French. But in the early days of the contest you couldn’t move for songs in français. That’s because one of those other francophone countries was the Principality […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lum!x from Austria is 21 today That thing where you hear a Eurovision song – pre-contest obviously – and think it could really challenge for the win when it gets on that stage. And then, when you see it on said stage, you wonder what you were […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kate Ryan from Belgium is 43 today Those fans, eh? If things were left to them a whole load of different songs would have won contests, or even qualified for finals. They can be a stubborn bunch at times in what’s hot and what’s not. Thus was […]
