#BIRTHDAY: Filipa Azevedo from Portugal is 29 today What were you doing 10 years ago? Were you an ardent fan? Had you even discovered the contest? Or were you thinking it was time to take up hang-gliding instead of staying in on a Saturday night in May? If […]
#BIRTHDAY: Luiz Ejlli from Albania is 35 today It’s a thing these days that most songs are in English, or at least partly in English. Some fans are old enough to remember when there was no free language rule. So it’s nice when a country uses its own […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tó Cruz from Portugal is 53 today As you know, our friends in Portugal achieved their victory after the longest ever non-winning streak to date. They had tried everything since their début in 1964. Amongst Portugal’s notable achievements was sending the first black male performer in 1967. […]
#BIRTHDAY: André from Armenia is 39 today It’s début time again, and one that saw an expansion into the Caucasus – that area some claim is Europe and some claim is Asia. We’re not going to discuss that geographical question here. Today’s birthday boy Անդրեյ Սերգեյի Հովնանյան/André Sergey […]
#BIRTHDAY: Omar Naber from Slovenia is 39 today Many people can claim to have a unique record in our favourite TV show. It could be their country’s only winner. Or the only person to win twice as a performer. More often – probably – are people who share […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jurij Veklenko from Lithuania is 30 today It must be a thankless task trying to make that first win for your country. For some, it was easier than others. Many people tried before Portugal triumphed, but Serbia got it at the first go. But it’s not just […]
#BIRTHDAY: Roman Lob from Germany is 30 today The Big Four/Five is a thing that has always divided opinion. Should they compete in the semi-finals with the rest or not? It’s true that certain broadcasters put more money in, but now it’s likely the contest may become more […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tajči from Yugoslavia is 50 today A home entry! Excellent. This one comes from a country warm enough for the home participant not to worry about wishing they’d gone somewhere more exotic. The home broadcaster was a joint effort between a national and a regional TV company. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Michael Teschl from Denmark is 49 today What’s this? Another duo? You wait for weeks and then two come along at once. A double double as it were. But this one did marginally better. Today’s birthday boy Michael Teschl paired up with Trine Jepsen in 1999 They […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maxi Garden from Germany is 46 today Duos come in strange pairings sometimes. We’ve had the lovers, the siblings, the twins, and the people put together as a result of a TV talent show. But then there is another type of duo. This is the parent and […]
