#BIRTHDAY: 31 Jan – Helena Paparizou from Greece is 44 People win the contest. From time to time anyway. There could be some contests where no song should have won, and the EBU should have told them to go away and try harder next year. But winners we […]
#BIRTHDAY: 30 Jan – Deniz Felizman from Germany is 48 Do you love languages? That might be a silly question – you’re a fan of a continental music show for starters. But do you like lots of languages in a song? Or can it backfire? In 1999 we […]
#BIRTHDAY: 28 Jan – Aksel from Finland is 28 Remember 2020? Yep, that crazy time when the world ground to a halt, no-one could go out, and our favourite TV show was cancelled. Yes, cancelled. How would we survive? Well, we did, and we’re all looking forward to […]
#BIRTHDAY: 27 Jan – John Lundvik from Sweden is 43 Do you ever see a song in our favourite TV show and think it’s definitely definitely going to do well? You’re so sure you’ll put money on it winning? That particular song might be from, say, Sweden, so […]

#BIRTHDAY: 22 Jan – Sinéad Mulvey from Ireland is 38 Do you feel for this countries that have had success in the past but are finding it difficult to come by these days? We know anyone can win, but some countries seem to be more in the zone […]
#BIRTHDAY: 21 Jan – Marian van de Wal is 56 We have some interesting matching of nations. Latvia and Burkina Faso. Ukraine and Congo-Brazzaville. And there’s today’s singer. Maybe not quite as exotic, but just as noteworthy. Today’s birthday girl Marian van de Wal is Dutch by birth, […]
#BIRTHDAY: 19 Jan – Lena Philipsson from Sweden is 60 Now we know a certain country with a blue and yellow flag has excelled in our favourite TV show. You may even think they could win this coming year. And no, I’m not talking about Palau. The truth […]
