#BIRTHDAY: Adrian Lulgjuraj from Albania is 41 today Don’t you just love our favourite TV show for its masses of different styles? You can have good old Scandi-Schlager, followed by good old Adriatic ballad, followed by something completely insane. There’s something for everyone. Some styles feature more than […]
#BIRTHDAY: Hugues Aufray is 92 today Our favourite TV show has always been a fun beast. Every year millions tune in. Many many people record it, and watch it afterwards, picking apart the performances. It’s not always been this way. In 1964, the contest took place as planned […]
#BIRTHDAY: Katri Helena from Finland is 76 today Do you ever see a performer and think “they have class”? That performer who doesn’t need to try. They have a stage presence, and have the audience in the palm of their hand. They may not win, but they are […]

#BIRTHDAY: Odd Børre from Norway is 82 today Time to look back. A long way back. Back before some of you might even have been born. But fear not, it’s in beautiful colour. If you didn’t know, the first contest in colour was in 1968. A time when […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sanja Vučić from Serbia is 28 today Some of those singers just can’t get enough of our favourite TV show. They keep coming back, just to see if they can win that crystal microphone. But it sometimes happens that they come back again in a slightly different […]
#BIRTHDAY: Duarte Mendes from Portugal is 74 today Is Eurovision political? Is there a fine line between a political song and one that celebrates history? Where do you draw this line? Some countries have had more turbulent histories than others, and some very recently. Back in 1975, revolution […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kate Gulbrandsen from Norway is 56 today Imagine the scene. You know you’re heading to Europe’s favourite TV show, and you get drawn on first. How do you make an impression? You’re in the biggest ever contest and don’t want to be lost by all the madness […]
