#BIRTHDAY: Eric Papilaya from Austria is 43 today We often mention the props acts use to enhance their three minutes on stage. But just think of the stage hands. Their hearts must sink , especially as they have 45 seconds or so to get one act off stage […]
#BIRTHDAY: Bonnie Tyler from the UK is 70 today It’s only right that our favourite TV show can demonstrate a mix of the established performer and the youngster setting out to prove themselves in the cut-throat world of entertainment. There is no right formula, as it’s down to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sophie Carle from Luxembourg is 57 today The hosts nation always has an interesting job on its hands. They might want to win, but the contest has cost them a whole chunk of money, so an honorable mention might be better. Our friends in Luxembourg have, like […]
#BIRTHDAY: ByeAlex from Hungary is 37 today There’s been a little gap in central Europe of late. A gap which is countries currently having a few years out from our favourite TV show. You’d need to ask their broadcaster why they’re not competing with song, but we do […]
