#BIRTHDAY: Enrico Ruggeri from Italy is 68 today It must be good to be in at the start of something. In years to come, you can tell your family you were there, and part of it. This particular ‘thing’ is the expansion of our favourite TV show. The […]
#BIRTHDAY: Eldar Gasimov from Azerbaijan is 36 today It’s duo time! And with two singers you get double the chance of seeing what could be your favourite song played. And, for some, this will be their favorite song of all time. Cast your mind back to 2011. A […]
#BIRTHDAY: Esther Hart from the Netherlands is 55 today There are some times when we wish that more than one country could win our favourite TV show. Not always because there are two or more songs that are worthy. But because it’s been so long since some countries […]
#BIRTHDAY: Monica Anghel from Romania is 54 today Our friends in Romania haven’t had it that good of late. After a good run of form for most of this century, we’ve now only seen them in the Grand Final once since 2018. There was even a time when […]

#BIRTHDAY: Nadine Beiler from Austria is 35 today Some countries have had a patchy relationship with our favourite TV show. Take Italy for example. They took over a decade out, and eventually won when they chose to. Then there are our friends in Austria. It’s been a bit […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tooji from Norway is 38 today It’s an achievement these days to make the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest. For those 20 acts, they’ve had to arrive in a host city extra early, rehearse and rehearse, and then aim to beat other worthy songs. So […]
#BIRTHDAY: Aliona Moon from Moldova is 36 today We know that anyone can win our favourite TV show, whether it’s that Nordic country that many fans have as their default 12 points, or whether it’s that outsider that captures the zeitgeist before sinking back into obscurity. But have […]
