BIRTHDAY: Dries Holten from the Netherlands is 83 today We have our fair share of ballads, floor-fillers and other songs with very carefully crafted lyrics, designed to reel in the casual voter and make them decide that melody is the best. Or, you could bounce onto stage, wear […]
BIRTHDAY: Liam Reilly from Ireland is 64 today I mentioned yesterday that songs had certain themes. Usually involving love. And, thankfully, very rarely about domestic abuse. But there are certain get outs you can use if you’re stuck as a song-writer. That’s why today’s song uses one of […]
BIRTHDAY: András Kállay-Saunders from Hungary is 34 today Isn’t it always the way that most songs have themes running through them. Falling in love, falling out of love, tributes, those sorts of things. Occasionally, we get a sing that’s a bit darker. Very dark in fact. It has […]
BIRTHDAY: Jaana Pelkonen from Finland is 42 today What’s this? A birthday and it isn’t a singer? Well we like to mix things up a little sometimes. So we’ve picked a presenter. Jaana did her stuff in Finland in 2007. She wasn’t alone – only Swedes do that […]

BIRTHDAY: Barbara Dex from Belgium is 45 today You know sometimes when you look at song, and then realise it was in our favourite TV show over 25 years ago. It really makes you feel old. I was bumbling along nicely until I noticed today’s song and its […]
BIRTHDAY: Christie from Greece is 63 today All countries can have their day. And as others have said, anyone can win our favourite TV show. Austria or Portugal are two cases in point, where an indifferent track record has been interrupted by a win. These days, Greece has […]
BIRTHDAY: Stefan Filipović from Montenegro is 31 today The draw for our favourite TV show is a wonderful thing. It can make one performer weep, and another one sing. So they say. For example, look who followed Norway in every draw between 1981 and 1986. An even more […]
