#BIRTHDAY: 3 August – Michelle from the Netherlands is 45 Imagine the dilemma. You’re taking part in Europe’s favourite TV show. It covers dozens of languages, and you want to make yourself stand out from the crowd. Your family name might not be very easy to some parts […]
#BIRTHDAY: 2 August – Emma from the UK is 52 Eurovision is mainly a young person’s game. Yes, even with the Junior version of our favourite TV show, the majority of performers at the senior are in their teens and twenties. It must be the optimism of youth. […]
