#BIRTHDAY: Ines from Estonia is 43 today You can always tell when a country is seriously gunning for a win. They seem to up their game, just to bring themselves to Europe’s attention. And then, bang, they have that win under their belt. Today’s birthday girl Ines (née […]
#BIRTHDAY: Andrew Lambrou is 26 today There are false flaggers and there are false flaggers. The first category are quite open with that status – and they have nothing to do with the country they song for. Then there are the other kind, where the allegation is less […]
#BIRTHDAY: Silje Vige from Norway is 47 today Can you imagine how it feels if you’re closing a contest. And not just closing any old contest, but closing the biggest contest the world had ever seen at the time. And imaging doing all of this if you were […]
#BIRTHDAY: Blanka from Poland is 25 today Our friends in Poland have had a patchy record in our favourite TV show. From a debut runner-up to languishing in the semi-finals, they’ve probably ticked every box. They are past masters of JESC though. In 2023, they sent today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Athena Manoukian from Armenia is 30 today There’s that exclusive club of performers that was formed in 2020. So exclusive that only around a dozen acts are fully paid-up members. A large number applied, but lost out due to an appearance in 2021. This club is those […]
#BIRTHDAY: Pia Maria from Austria is 21 today Eurovision can be a fickle thing. One minute you’re finishing top three, the next you’re failing to qualify for the Grand Final. It’s tough, but what can you do? One thing to try is to make your song as current […]
#BIRTHDAY: Dilara Kazimova from Azerbaijan is 40 today Our friends in Azerbaijan have always been eager participants in our favourite TV show. With one win under their belt, they’re doing better than some, and they must be eager for another win. Azerbaijan’s traditional course is to out-source the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Merethe Trøan from Norway is 54 today Do you remember the old days? When the contest was all done and dusted in one night, and none of these new Europeans were able to do their thing? Well 1992 was probably the last ‘old’ contest as we know […]
#BIRTHDAY: Luke Black from Serbia is 32 today We love our song contest. Sometimes what is performed is clearly a song. But sometimes it’s a whole performance. More bang for your buck, as it were. In 2023, Serbia sent today’s birthday Лук Блек/Luke Black (née Лука Ивановић/Luka Ivanović), […]
#BIRTHDAY: Simon Mathew from Denmark is 40 today We’ve not long been home from a contest that was almost in Denmark. Yes, it was in sunny Malmö, but many people travelled through the enormous Kastrup airport to get there. So could Copenhagen have made a claim to be […]
