#BIRTHDAY: 20 May – Dora from Portugal is 60 We all know that Eurovision is a cut-and-thrust affair. You have three minutes (or possibly six) to sell yourself to that viewer in Switzerland or Finland, and that can be tough. So, apart from a decent song, how do […]
#BIRTHDAY: 19 May – Merethe Trøan from Norway is 56 Do you remember the old days? When the contest was all done and dusted in one night, and none of these new Europeans were able to do their thing? Well 1992 was probably the last ‘old’ contest as […]
#BIRTHDAY: 18 May – Luke Black from Serbia is 34 We love our song contest. Sometimes what is performed is clearly a song. But sometimes it’s a whole performance. More bang for your buck, as it were. In 2023, Serbia sent today’s birthday Лук Блек/Luke Black (née Лука […]

#BIRTHDAY: 13 May – Alexander Rybak from Norway is 40 Some songs have just scraped a win, and some have won at a canter. Did you prefer the close contest, or should there by a time when a runaway runaway winner is a good thing? Occasionally a song […]
#BIRTHDAY: 12 May – Lidia Kopania from Poland is 48 You know those countries that always turn up. They don’t always light up the scoreboard, but they come along every year, sometimes with high hopes and sometimes not. And many of these countries have never won – yet. […]
