#BIRTHDAY: Paul Harrington is 60 today What’s your favourite type of song? Those about falling in love? Those about falling out of love? Or something else? Today’s song is in the ‘something else’ category, even though it’s a bit of falling in love. It’s more about nostalgia, and […]
ESC2020: Preview party time Even though there will be no Eurovision Song Contest in 2020, it doesn’t stop the fans around Europe (and Australia) getting together to pick their favourites. Renowned fan David Elder organises one of the most infamous parties of the year, and due to social […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kurt Calleja from Malta is 31 today Who doesn’t want to see Malta win? We know a contest on the Mediterranean’s happiest rock will be a memorable affair. There will be warmth, sun, laughter, and maybe even a presidential appearance or two during the fortnight. What could […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tony Wegas from Austria is 55 today There’s an exclusive club. Well, yeah, there are lots of exclusive clubs. But today’s exclusive belongs to those people who did back-to-back appearances in our favourite TV show. We can name plenty – Lena, Jedward, Val Monetta – all illustrious […]

BIRTHDAY: Michael Schulte from Germany is 30 today We need to bear in mind that part performance is no guide to future performance. Some countries win, completely out of the blue, and then sink back into obscurity. Or a country could have one really bad rogue result amid […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anggun of France is 46 today What do you think of the ‘Big 5’? Should they get passage straight to the Grand Final, or should they have to compete on a Tuesday or Thursday night with everyone else? Admittedly, some of them have had rocky patches recently, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Karolina from North Macedonia is 40 today Many people have had a second try at winning our favourite TV show. Maybe it’s the competition they like. Or maybe it’s the free stuff for the performers at the opening party. Or the free stuff at the closing party. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Robin Bengtsson from Sweden is 30 today Yes, we covered a Swedish birthday a few days ago, but we’ve headed to the land of the blue-and-yellow cross again today. Some of you might just have this country as your favourite every year. Our friends in Sweden want […]
