#BIRTHDAY: Yannis Savvidakis from Cyprus is 60 today We mentioned duets occasionally, and how with two performers, you’re likely to tick more boxes. And more ticked boxes mean more votes – or so you’d hope. Not that many duets have won our favourite TV show over the years, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Brooke Scullion from Ireland is 24 today Did you enjoy the contest in Turin/Torino? Did you go? Did the city meet your high expectations? And, of course, did your favourites make it to the Grand Final out of those cut-throat semi-finals? One highly tipped song didn’t actually […]
#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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rita from Israel is 61 today Unless you’ve been on Saturn’s biggest moon, or some parts of the USA, you’ll know that the Eurovision circus doesn’t always stay in what you could call Europe proper. It has occasionally ventured to a place called Israel. Some will associate […]
#BIRTHDAY: Serge from the Netherlands is 77 today Do you like a duet? One of those things where you get two voices working in perfect harmony. Or maybe where the two protagonists try to out-sing each other. We all know it happens. In 1971, Eurovision was just starting […]
#BIRTHDAY: Stig van Eijk from Norway is 42 today Are you starting think that certain [insert country here] already has the 2023 contest in the bag? Some people may do, using different theories to reach a conclusion. It’s a thought that fans of our favourite TV show have […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lucie Jones from the UK is 32 today What do you think of the Big Five? Should they get an automatic place in the final, or should they have to go through the semi-finals like the rest of us? It’s true that the Big Five do have […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ovidijus Vyšniauskas from Lithuania is 66 today Not so long ago, eyebrows were raised when our favourite TV show was extended to 25 countries. Can you imagine that? A one-night spectacular with 25 songs. That would be seen as piffling these days. Of course, where there are […]
#BIRTHDAY: Martine Clemenceau from France is 74 today When your country has had success in our favourite TV show, the pressure is always on your singers to repeat that success year after year. But there often comes a year (or more), when those good placings desert you. I […]
#ST PATRICK’S DAY: A time to celebrate It’s that time of the year again. No, not that time, that’s in May. If you’re Irish, then this is the day for you. Much of the world goes a little bit green – in more ways than one. So here […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alvan from France is 30 today It’s good to see something different tried at a Eurovision Song Contest. Usually anyway. Sometimes, Schlager can get a bit staid, and how many have suffered death-by-ballad? So something a bit folksy can stand out. Take 2022 for example. Our friends […]
#BIRTHDAY: Paul Oscar from Iceland is 53 today Just occasionally, we get songs that break the mould. A song so different that it has to be seen to be believed, and our favourite TV show is never quite the same again. And that brings me onto today’s song. […]
