#BIRTHDAY: Netta Barzilai from Israel is 29 today As we know, when the contest takes place, there has to be a winner. It may not be every fan’s favourite song. But the vocal fans only make up a tiny proportion of the people who vote, so it’s possible […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rasmussen from Denmark is 37 today Denmark. A fine country eh? Full of bacon, pastries and the odd singer. And once you get them talking in their own language, you’ll be more amazed than at any time in your life. They’ve sent acts of all shapes an […]
#BIRTHDAY: Christie from Greece is 66 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: Iris from Belgium is 26 today Do you think that those semi-finals are brutal? We’ve all had discussions on why a certain song qualifies over another song. After all, every act in every semi-final is trying their hardest to make the leap from weekday sideshow to main […]
#BIRTHDAY: Iva Zanicchi from Italy is 82 today Certain contests are known for more than just the songs. It could be a stage invasion, someone falling over when trying to present a trophy. Or it could be something that rules didn’t expect. In 1969, four countries tied for […]
#BIRTHDAY: Daniel Diges from Spain is 41 today Eurovision is usually a very happy affair. You can feel the love when the acts are out on stage. The crowd all wants them to succeed, so there’s lots of cheering and smiles for every act. Of course, some people […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maja Keuc from Slovenia is 30 today Many performers in the recent contests have burst onto the scene through one of the many talent discovery shows that are doing the rounds. I won’t name them all, but I think you know the ones I mean. Are they […]
#NORWAY: Live Blog of MGP Semi-final 1 from 19.50 CET 21.17 – Thanks for following our blog tonight. Do you agree with the result? Should one of the other three songs qualified? Tell us what you think. And goodnight 21.15 – So Frode beats Trollfest and Eline to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lydia from Spain is 42 today Are you ready for a show stopper of a song? Well, even if you think the song isn’t quite a show stopper, the outfit certainly is. After all, you only get three minutes on stage, so anything to make that time […]
#BIRTHDAY: The Tolmachevy Sisters from Russia are 25 today Two birthdays for the price of one? You don’t get that very often, so when it comes along it’s worth posting. Even if these people are from the country they’re from. Sadly, it’s not the two glamour pusses from […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sebastian Rejman from Finland is 44 today It’s always fun when a big name gets through to represent their country in our favourite TV show. They’ve conquered the proper music scene, but this is a chance for legend status. Of course, it’s a high-risk strategy for that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maria Elena from Greece is 38 today Continuing our Mediterranean theme – well, it started yesterday – we move east to the popular country taking part in our favourite TV show since the 1970s. As we’ve discussed, Greece’s success has mainly been 21st Century, when someone gave […]
#BIRTHDAY: Samira Bensaïd from Morocco is 64 today If you were the only person ever to represent your country, how would you feel? Would you want your country to send participate again, which would sully your unique record? Or would you be happy that you’re unique? There is […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jan Johansen from Sweden is 55 today Just when you thought we were going to avoid a certain country, we found this birthday today and knew we had to pick this above the Italian, German, Latvian and Luxembourger who also have birthdays today. We consider it one […]
#BIRTHDAY: David Civera from Spain is 43 today One of the things about taking part in our favourite TV contest is the audience. Yes, it’s a TV show first and foremost, but there will always be a crowd that you have to sing to too. In the good […]
