#BIRTHDAY: Mayte Mateos is 71 today There are songs out there that tick lots of boxes. A competent stage act, a potential winner, even a bit of false-flagness thrown in for good measure. And maybe an act that has form in the ‘muggle’ music industry. Today’s birthday girl […]
#BIRTHDAY: Albina from Croatia is 23 today Those performers who we saw at the 2021 edition of our favourite TV show must have felt a bit short-changed. They couldn’t properly socialise, and the most they saw of Rotterdam was the venue and their hotel room. You have yo […]

#BIRTHDAY: ManuElla from Slovenia is 33 today We love countries that try. And try. And try. They don’t always succeed, but even after taking part for over a quarter of a century, they feel that maiden win is not far off. Slovenia first took part in their own […]
#BIRTHDAY: Cindy Berger from Germany is 74 today Duets can be an odd thing. Get it right, and you can feel the chemistry oozing from the two singers. Get it wrong, and all you get is two singers facing each other shouting as loudly as they can. A […]
