#BIRTHDAY: Birgitta Haukdal from Iceland is 43 today Opening a contest is always daunting. Closing it is probably worse, because being on first means you can take advantage of the free bar in the Green Room for longer. Back in 2003 we were in sunny Rīga, which was […]
#BIRTHDAY: Susanne Georgi from Andorra is 46 today Sisters seem to be doing it for themselves lately. We’ve had a run of female vocalists lately, which is in no way a bad thing. And from all corners of Europe. Do you remember Andorra? They took part six times, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Evelina Sašenko from Lithuania is 35 today Can you cast your mind back to eleven years ago? What were you doing? Were you at school? Were you celebrating one of those ‘big’ birthdays that ends in a zero? Were you even a fan of our favourite TV […]

#BIRTHDAY: Debrah Scarlett from Norway is 29 today A song like today’s song is one I don’t want to stop. You get them sometimes. They look a bit odd to start with but draw you in as they go along. By the end, you wish the song was […]

#BIRTHDAY: Darude from Finland is 47 today Can you spot a winner from a first listen? Yes? Well, could you spot a candidate for last place at first listen too? It can be tough at the top, but equally tough at the bottom. Imagine the scene. A certain […]
