#BIRTHDAY: Baby Doll from Yugoslavia is 58 today Being on first can be that double-edged sword. You get your performance out of the way (meaning more time at the bar), you get a nice fresh audience, and who knows, people have won from the front before. Casting your […]
#BIRTHDAY: Elpida from Greece is 70 today Our friends in Greece are having a better time at Eurovision in the 21st Century than they did in the 20th Century. Musical tastes have widened. Greek music was once viewed by some as exotic, but it can now be just […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marianne Mendt from Austria is 75 today We all know that some countries have a love/hate relationship with our favourite TV show. One or two in central Europe are currently taking a breather, and it seems to be a thing for that part of the world. Back […]
