BIRTHDAY: Aram MP3 from Armenia is 35 today If you count it up, five countries that used to be in the USSR have won the top prize in our favourite TV show. That means five more haven’t yet. Which of these five do you think will be next? […]
BIRTHDAY: David Alexandre Winter from Luxembourg is 76 today It’s good to remember our history. You know, those times before 2000 when the contest still happened, even if it was a little bit smaller and, generally, more western than it is now. In 1970 it was much much […]
BIRTHDAY: Molly Smitten-Downes from the UK is 32 today We had a birthday of someone from a country that would love to win. And I’d love to see them win. Today we have a country in the same doldrum-like predicament. They try in a very nonchalant sort of […]
BIRTHDAY: Sieneke from the Netherlands is 27 today It’s no April Fool that some countries have probably done a lot worse than they’ve deserved to over the years. I’m thinking of those countries that perhaps haven’t won in a long long time. The one I have in mind […]
BIRTHDAY: Nuša Derenda from Slovenia is 50 today Have you noticed that some song titles have been getting shorter? There are a few this year where they’re only known by one word. Replay, Heaven, Limits, Truth. Is it that the printers are running short of ink? It’s always […]
BIRTHDAY: Hera Björk from Iceland is 47 today We had a crowd pleaser yesterday, and we have another one today. Thursday’s was a soaring opus. Today’s is the good old floor filler. We know Iceland desperately wants to win our favourite TV show. Maybe even more than Malta […]
BIRTHDAY: Bettan from Norway is 61 today I’ve got a real treat for you today. A legend of our favourite TV show. A massive name in singing circles, particularly in the Nordic world. And a former winner. And it’s definitely not Carola. Today’s birthday girl Elisabeth Gunilla Andreassen […]
BIRTHDAY: Polina Gagarina from Russia is 32 today There’s often an air of inevitability about some results. A certain republic surrounded by Italy will do badly. A country on the Caspian Sea often does well. And then there’s a certain very large country that straddles Europe and Asia. […]
BIRTHDAY: Rita from Israel is 57 today Unless you’ve been on Saturn’s biggest moon, or some parts of the USA, you’ll know that the Eurovision circus will be heading to sunny Israel in May. So it’s nice when an Israeli birthday comes up. Some will associate Israeli songs […]
BIRTHDAY: Franco Battiato from Italy is 74 today You wait ages for a duet, and then two come along almost once. But they are duets done in very different styles. That probably happens for any two things 29 years apart. When we saw the Georgian duet, it was […]
