#BIRTHDAY: Emly Starr from Belgium is 63 today Our friends in Belgium are a curious bunch. Plucky as ever, and taking part since the first contest (1956 in case you were wondering), and only ever had one win. It’s a nice arrangement that the broadcasters for the two […]
#BIRTHDAY: Morgane from Belgium is 45 today Have you ever thought that some performers might not want to be at our favourite TV show? Or that they might want to shed their image as a Eurovision performer when they turn their back on music for, say, a career […]
#BELGIUM: Laura Tesoro from Belgium is 24 today Do you enjoy good national final? No, not that Melodifestivalen thing – I’m talking about good national finals. I jest of course. Every national final will have good songs and, erm, other songs. Our friends in Belgium flit between televised […]
