#BIRTHDAY: Aram MP3 from Armenia is 39 today It’s always daunting being first on in a song contest. It’s bad enough if you get the Saturday night gig. But if you get first on in the first semi-final, you must be really worried. It’s long been the graveyard […]
#BIRTHDAY: Christina Metaxa from Cyprus is 31 today Our friends in Cyprus try hard. And one day they may success. After all, who wouldn’t love to go to Afrodite’s Isle for two weeks of sun-drenched Eurovision madness? It’s always worth paying special attention to what they’re putting forward. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Michalis Rakintzis from Greece is 66 today Things got a little odd at the turn of the century. We were trapped in Nordic/Baltic Europe after time in the eastern Med. Countries were taking it in turns to be relegated. And we had some interesting acts. When we […]
#BIRTHDAY: Molly Smitten-Downes from the UK is 36 today Yesterday, we had a birthday of someone from a country that would love to win. Today we have a country that, generally, had been in the same doldrum-like predicament. Until 2022 that is. They try in a very nonchalant […]

#BIRTHDAY: Nuša Derenda from Slovenia is 54 today Have you noticed that some song titles have been getting shorter? There are a few this year where they’re only known by one word. Solo, Stay, Aijā, Eaea, Duje. Is it that the printers are running short of ink? It’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kasey Smith from Ireland is 33 today Plenty of countries have a history of success at our favourite TV show. Some of these seem to have lost their winning touch, and don’t know what to do to get it back. Do you go contemporary and risk being […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vaidas Baumila from Lithuania is 36 today It’s duo time to brighten up your day. We all love duos, and it’s sometimes the case you prefer one half to the other. So it helps if there’s something for everyone. Today’s duo seemed very happy together, and one […]
#BIRTHDAY: Linda Martin from Ireland has a birthday today Eurovision is made up of characters of all types. Some are happy to live in the background. Some only appear during the January-May Eurovision season. Others, however, are always there, and have earned some renown. Today’s birthday girl Linda […]
