#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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Philippe Lafontaine from Belgium is 70 today Do you like it when a song uses geographic references in a song? Do you hope that – one day – your town, city or country will be name-checked in a song? You might have more chance if you live […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lena from Germany is 34 today The 2025 Eurovision season is over. But birthdays go on. For some birthdays at this time of year, we might still have been in a Eurovision season. Is it coincidence that two winners celebrate their birthdays today? We’ll leave the more […]
