#BIRTHDAY: Marian van de Wal from Andorra is 51 today We have some interesting matching of nations. Latvia and Burkina Faso. Ukraine and Congo-Brazzaville. And there’s today’s singer. Maybe not quite as exotic, but just as noteworthy. Today’s birthday girl Marian van de Wal is Dutch by birth, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lena Philipsson from Sweden is 55 today Now we know a certain country with a blue and yellow flag has excelled in our favourite TV show. You may even think they could win this coming year. And no, I’m not talking about Palau. The truth is that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Stefan Filipović from Montenegro is 34 today The semi-finals are a curious thing. Draw is everything if you have to compete in one. It’s true that ten songs will qualify, which give you a better than average chance of making it through. But it does help if […]

#BIRTHDAY: Zlata Ognevich from Ukraine is 35 today It’s only right that politics shouldn’t really play a part in our favourite TV show. They often almost mix, but thankfully it’s mainly kept a lid on. However, the odd singer here and there has dabbled in politics. One such […]
#BIRTHDAY: Muriel Day from Ireland is 79 today Ireland. Home of seven wins of our favourite TV show. Is that eighth one just around the corner? Well, anyone can win, even if a certain other country is only one win behind. Delving into Ireland’s history, in 1969 they […]
#BIRTHDAY: Samira Bensaïd from Morocco is 63 today If you were the only person ever to represent your country, how would you feel? Would you want your country to send participate again, which would sully your unique record? Or would you be happy that you’re unique? There is […]
