#BIRTHDAY: Dado Topić from Croatia is 71 today We celebrate all manner of things with our birthdays. The winners, the losers, the ‘also-ran’s. They all count, and you can guarantee that someone out there will like every single Eurovision song. So just occasionally, a song might not quite […]
Over the last 6 decades, 27 countries have won the Eurovision Song Contest, ranging from Portugal in the far west of mainland Europe, all the way across to Azerbaijan on the shores of the Caspian Sea. This also means that just over half of all countries to have […]
STAGGY: Review of 2020 Part V Staggy can be very opinionated when he wants to be – he had plenty to say about what happened (or didn’t happen) in Rotterdam this year. Neveretheless, he’s cast his eye over some of the 2020 crop of songs, and here are […]
#BIRTHDAY: Franka from Croatia is 28 today Our friends in Croatia have had their ups and downs over the years. Sadly, it’s been mainly downs lately. But they should take comfort that anyone can win our favourite TV show. Just look at Portugal. But even though they’re not […]
#BIRTHDAY: Claudia Beni from Croatia is 34 today Back in the 1990s (remember them?), when that pesky new crop of countries wanted in to our favourite TV show, we always thought some of these new breed would win very soon. Just take 1994 for example, when two of […]

#BIRTHDAY: Severina from Croatia is 38 today There’s often a debate these days about language. Does a country opt for their own tongue, or one of them? Or do they go for something more mainstream? Usually English. There are arguments for and against, but I think it’s nice […]
BIRTHDAY: Goran Karan from Croatia is 56 today Over the years, some countries have been gunning for a win, only for that time to pass without success. They then slip back into obscurity. Of course, past performance is no guide to future performance. But when you look at […]

BIRTHDAY: Roko from Croatia is 20 today Eurovision attracts singers both young and old. We’ve had nonagenarians on stage. And mere children. Well, not the children any more, but never forget our show’s history. Today we have a singer who was towards the younger end of the spectrum […]
Last time we had a look at the betting odds, only Albania had declared and it was a bit odd only having a Top 1 – but with the majority of entries now known for Rotterdam, it’s time to take a look again at the betting odds! Remember, […]
