#BIRTHDAY: 3 Jan – Amaia from Spain is 27 today As you’ll know, we pick performers from all years when we celebrate birthdays here. You’ll relish the black & white of some, but equally you’ll enjoy the “4K HD-ness” of the more recent contests. As it happens, today […]
#BIRTHDAY: 2 Jan – Sanda from Romania is 56 A whole host of countries have yet to finish first at our favourite TV show. Will one of them break that duck this year? Or will it be a ‘popular’ Nordic win yet again? We’d like to see a […]
#BIRTHDAY: 1 Jan – Gisela from Andorra is 47 Happy New Year! And may your dreams for 2026 all come true. Whether it’s trying your first lobster thermidore, taking that trip to Funchal, or that [insert country here] wins the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna on 16 May. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Siw Malmkvist is 89 today We end the year with a legend among singers from the more northern end of our fair continent. Still in show business, she’s been doing her thing for 60 years. I’m talking about today’s birthday girl Siw Gunnel Margareta Malmkvist. Swedish by […]

#BIRTHDAY: Salvador Sobral from Portugal is 36 today Some songs are just so good they get roundly ignored by the televoters and juries of Europe (and beyond). Other times, they get what they deserve and get the highest score ever. Ever. This song might have you in tears. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lise Darly is 44 today Those semi-finals are a brutal affair. The potential classic songs that fall by the wayside, meaning a possible winner has to watch from the sidelines. We can all name several. For those places that can’t get out of the semi-finals, it’s understandable […]
#BIRTHDAY: Aiko from Czechia is 26 today It seems the Eurovision season gets longer and longer. Whilst we know the bunfight culminates in May, but some acts wait months and months – and months – to get their moment on that stage. And it doesn’t always end well. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Boris Novković from Croatia is 58 today If you’re not confident on stage by yourself, what do you do? Well, you get some pals up there with you. You know they’ll be on your side, and if things don’t go well, you can lay the blame on […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maarja-Liis Ilus from Estonia is 45 today If you’re anything like us, you’ll be starting your festivities very shortly. Or it could be tomorrow. Or it could be early next month. Whenever it is, have fun and make the most of it. But enough of a good […]
