BIRTHDAY: Amaury Vassili from France is 30 today The free language rule is a funny old thing. Obviously, most countries have picked a world-wide language to do their stuff. English usually, but French is often a good bet too. So imagine our surprise when one of the Big […]
BIRTHDAY: Sophie Carle from Luxembourg is 55 today The home entrant. No pressure on performing in front of your home crowd then. Just imagine it, the local newspapers will be watching your every move and delving into your past. So you need to be squeaky clean. Squeaky id […]
BIRTHDAY: Igor Cukrov from Croatia is 35 today Do you notice that some areas specialise in certain styles of music? For example, our friends in Finland like their hard rock, and they’ve occasionally sent it to our favourite TV show. The Balkans, by contrast, like their big ballads. […]
BIRTHDAY: Enrico Ruggeri from Italy is 62 today Yesterday I briefly mention our friends in Italy. Well, as you may know, their relationship with our favourite Tv show has been up and down. They had the big gap between 1997 and 2011 and concentrated on their beloved Sanremo […]
BIRTHDAY: Ell from Azerbaijan is 30 today What’s this? Another duo? Well, with them you get double the chance of seeing what could be your favourite song played. And, for some, this will be their favorite song of all time. Cast your mind back to 2011. A certain […]

BIRTHDAY: Sopho Khalvashi from Georgia is 33 today The first decade of this century saw a big expansion of the amount of countries taking part in our favourite TV show. Fifteen countries débuted. That’s more countries than took part in the first contests. One such début came from […]
BIRTHDAY: Pasha Parfeny from Moldova is 33 today Mr Eurovision. Every country has one. Or several. Or someone who thinks they are deserving of this title. Not to be confused with Dr Eurovision, obviously. There’s only room for one of those. Moldova has a claimant to that title […]
BIRTHDAY: Eyþór Ingi from Iceland is 30 today Performers of all ages have been seen on a Eurovision stage. It cam sometimes be a fun game to guess whether a performer looks their age or not. Many performers try to look younger than they are. Some succeed. Some […]
BIRTHDAY: Maimuna from Belarus is 39 today It’s sometimes the case that someone is credited as a performer, but they don’t actually sing. They could be really famous, and there’s a hope their name will capture a few extra votes. Today’s birthday girl Маймуна Амаду Мурашка/Maimuna Amadu Murasjko, […]
BIRTHDAY: Ines from Estonia is 38 today Back in the mists of time, just after the Eurovision Song Contest started, in the 1990s, a certain musical country from the Baltic started doing really well. So much so, that a win wasn’t far away. I jest of course. The […]
BIRTHDAY: Anne-Marie David is 67 today A winner? Well, there have been 67 of them, so they’ll crop up here from time to time. There is another winner who has a birthday today, but I’ll save her for another year. Today’s birthday girl Anne-Marie David has actually represented […]
BIRTHDAY: Alekseev from Belarus is 26 today We all know that staging is key. Yes, it’s a song contest, but sometimes a song needs a costume change or a slick dance routine to squeeze a few extra points out of the jurors and televoters. In 2018, when we […]
BIRTHDAY: Kikki Danielsson from Sweden is 67 today I know we’re in the midst of another Eurovision Song Contest, but the birthdays just keep on coming, And today we have one for a home entrant! I always say that second is best for the home entrant to finish. […]
