#BIRTHDAY: Bledar Sejko from Albania is 50 today Certain countries often send music in a particular stylee year after year. You must know of several that do that. But just occasionally they shock us with something completely different. Our friends in Albania often send young ladies to Eurovision […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rona Nishliu from Albania is 36 today Do you remember when the contest went east? About as east as it’s possible to go whilst still being in Europe? It was a wild old affair, and the host country couldn’t do enough – even building a venue. There […]
#BIRTHDAY: Luiz Ejlli from Albania is 37 today It’s a thing these days that many songs are in English, or at least partly in English. Some fans are old enough to remember when there was no free language rule. So it’s nice when a country uses its own […]

#BIRTHDAY: Eugent Bushpepa from Albania is 38 today There’s an argument that some countries typically enter a certain type of song, probably sung by a certain type of singer. And I don’t mean a certain Sammarinese lady’s many attempts at Eurovision glory. Our friends in Albania often send […]
#BIRTHDAY: Juliana Pasha from Albania is 42 today We all want to see a new country win, don’t we? Whether it’s to experience a new take on our favourite TV show, or to try the local cuisine, or practice a different way of asking for a beer. That’s […]

Tonight’s the night! The First Semi Final of the Eurovision Song Contest will be coming to us live from beautiful Turin, Italy at 21:00PM CET (make sure you check your local listings to find out where you can watch!) Although in a few hours we’ll know just who […]
As much as we love the Eurovision Song Contest, there is something in the old adage that some things just don’t translate very well. In a musical coming together of different countries and cultures, what sounds poetic and elegant in one language might not quite have the same […]

#BIRTHDAY: Jonida Maliqi from Albania is 39 today Did you enjoy the Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv. In 2019. You were wearing your blue jumper. It was the one that never seemed to end. Our friends in Albania, more often than not, get through to the final, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anxhela Peristeri from Albania is 36 today Last year we had a large crop of performers who were lined up for a certain event in 2020, only for it to not take place. For some 2020 performers, however, they had to qualify all over again. Or not. […]

#BIRTHDAY: Ledina Çelo from Albania is 45 today It can be a strange thing being a country’s second ever participant in our favourite TV show. Especially if the first entrant did well. That second entrant has a hard act to follow. In 2005, today’s birthday girl Ledina Çelo […]
