#BIRTHDAY: Albina from Croatia is 26 today Those performers who we saw at the 2021 edition of our favourite TV show must have felt a bit short-changed. They couldn’t properly socialise, and the most they saw of Rotterdam was the venue and their hotel room. You have to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alexia from Cyprus is 61 today I’m feeling old today. I remember songs from the 1980s as if they were yesterday. And here we are in the third decade of the 21st Century. There’s a story I love about today’s birthday girl Αλέξια Βασιλείου/Alexia Vasiliou. Our host […]
#BIRTHDAY: José Cid from Portugal is 83 today I mention from time to time that we love someone who tries. Even though they’ll never be the continent’s favourite. Often through no fault of their own. Actually, today’s birthday boy did really well for his native Portugal, and his […]

#BIRTHDAY: Hersi from Albania is 35 today Are you from a country that’s never won our favourite TV show? How do you feel? Do you think that [at least] one of your songs should have won, so we can see the delights of what your capital city has […]
#BIRTHDAY: Isaak from Germany is 30 today Look at the running order of almost every contest, and you’ll see one nation pop up, doing their level best to win. That’s right it’s Germany. With a couple of wins and a clutch of less auspicious finishes, you can always […]
#BIRTHDAY: András Kállay-Saunders from Hungary is 40 today Songs sung in our favourite TV show cover a very wide range of themes. We’ve had songs about falling in love, songs about falling out of love, and songs about how we need to take care of the things we […]
#BIRTHDAY: Oddrun Valestrand from Norway is 51 today We often pick members of duos, as they we know they can provide a bit of variety. Today, we pick a member of a trio. Yes, when they perform you get three for the price of one. What could be […]
