#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: Milan Stanković from Serbia is 35 today It’s all about the look. And the song. And, erm, the draw order. Any or all of these could be true when working out that perfect thing for Eurovision success. Today’s birthday boy Милан Станковић arguably concentrated on the look, even […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kirsten Siggaard from Denmark is 68 today I know, I know. We’ve had too much obscurity of late. Songs you may have seen once and forgotten about have their place. Today is different. First, today’s song comes from the scientifically-proven best Eurovision of all time. And it’s […]

#BIRTHDAY: Dado Topić from Croatia is 73 today We celebrate all manner of things with our birthdays. The winners, the losers, the ‘also-ran’s. They all count, and you can guarantee that someone out there will like every single Eurovision song. So just occasionally, a song might not quite […]
BIRTHDAY: Tinkara Kovač from Slovenia is 44 today As you know, we often drone on about people who keep trying. Some of them make it to the final week/fortnight many times, and still want more (cough Monetta cough). Some have a couple of attempts as a national final, […]
Sarah Harrison from Malta, has turned 32 years old today. Sarah represented Malta, at the 2003 Junior Eurovision Song Contest – finishing in 7th place, with “Like a Star”. Happy Birthday, Sarah! Let us know what you think about the Junior Eurovision Song Contest – either in the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ruth Jacott from the Netherlands is 62 today Do you remember the time the contest went west? I mean, really west. It mainly goes north or east these days (except for where we’re going next year). But in 1993, the old cavalcade found itself in a cowshed […]
