It’s fair to assume that if you win a Eurovision semi-final, the chances are that you will do very well in the Grand Final. You could even win. So it’s always a thing when a high flier in the semi-final doesn’t fulfil its potential in the Saturday night […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lotte Nilsson from Denmark is 60 today A duet. That chance to get two singers for the price of one. Sometimes there’s chemistry, sometimes not. That can be part of the appeal of the duet – do they really get on? Today’s duet is set around a […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jerry Heil from Ukraine is 30 today We know that our favourite TV show is generally a light-hearted affair. Lots of shiny-ness, memorable costumes, and cramming as many smiles into three minutes as a song can. But some try a different approach. Our friends in Ukraine have […]
#BIRTHDAY: Samra from Azerbaijan is 31 today We’ve got a birthday today for one of our friends from Azerbaijan. As you’ll know, they won once and would love to win again. They tend to use non-Azerbaijani songwriters, but that hasn’t held them back. That might be why they […]
#BIRTHDAY: Carlotta Truman from Germany is 26 today Have you noticed that some countries seem to be in the doldrums? No, not the windless areas near the equator, but in our favourite TV show. They try their hardest, put loads of effort in, and yet don’t yield a […]
#BIRTHDAY: Amy & Shelley Vol from the Netherlands are 30 today We know that our favourite TV show has shared stars with the junior version. It’s only natural that once a talented youngster gets the taste of singing on a big big stage, they want to carry on. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Despina Olympiou from Cyprus is 50 today Are you a real fan? Could you name every single song by every single country, in order? Could you also throw in where they finished? Then we like to throw in challenges every now and then. For various reasons, some […]
#BIRTHDAY: Yohanna from Iceland is 35 today I know, we keep picking songs from the 20th Century that no-one remembers, and aren’t impressive. Well I’m hopefully redressing that balance today with a song from the 21st Century. That’s right. It’s recent. If you can call 2009 recent. And […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anne-Karine Strøm from Norway is 74 today That thing when you think a song title hasn’t been used before, but in actual fact it has. Take a certain Azerbaijani singing in Rotterdam a few years ago. She sang about a Dutch temptress. Maybe she didn’t know that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Cliff Richard from the UK is 85 today For some Eurovision performers, that appearance on the hallowed stage might not quite be the highlight of their career. Important, definitely, but not the pinnacle. Today’s birthday boy Sir Cliff Richard (né Harry Rodger Webb) probably needs no introduction. […]
