#BIRTHDAY: Demy from Greece is 33 today Do you often wonder what goes on in planning meetings to decide upon a staging for a Eurovision song? The outfit to wear, the positions of the backing singers, whether to have dancers even. It all needs careful planning. In 2017, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kristína Peláková from Slovakia is 37 today Are there any countries you’d like to see in the 2025 edition of our favourite TV show, that weren’t going to be there in 2024? A new country perhaps? Or one that hasn’t been there for a while? Today we […]
#BIRTHDAY: Laura Tesoro from Belgium is 28 today Do you enjoy good national final? No, not that Melodifestivalen thing – I’m talking about good national finals. I jest of course. Every national final will have good songs and, erm, other songs. Our friends in Belgium flit between televised […]
#BIRTHDAY: Cesár Sampson from Austria is 41 today We occasionally bang on about any country being capable of winning our favourite TV show. Some have that fluke result, some are knocking on the door of winning most years, and some blow hot and cold. Today we go to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ilinca from Romania is 26 today It would be a dull old Eurovision if all the songs sounded the same. They obviously don’t, otherwise they’d all finish up with the same number of points. But whilst they all want to stand out, some stand out because they […]

#BIRTHDAY: August from Iceland is 51 today It’s duet time. And one from over 20 years ago. It’s scary that when we talk about over 20 years ago, we can still be in the 21st Century. Does it make you feel old? In 2000, today’s birthday boy August […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rachel from France is 82 today We should remember that our contest isn’t all about what’s happening now. It has a rich history that we should celebrate. I’m sure everyone out there has favourites from former times. But there are those we hear less. As you may […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gjon Delhusa from Hungary is 71 today We like looking at members of very exclusive clubs. There’s the double winner’s Club. That’s pretty exclusive. Then there’s the 2020-only Club. A little less sp. And then there’s another club with only four members. In 1993 and 1996 there […]
#BIRTHDAY: Margo from Luxembourg is 63 today I know you love a song that crosses the boundaries of our different tastes, and is something that can do no wrong. Today must fit that bill if any song can. It has almost everything. Three songwriters, of which two are […]
