BIRTHDAY: Alexia from Cyprus is 55 today I’m feeling old today. I remember songs from the 1980s as if they were yesterday. And here we are in the cusp of the third decade of the 21st Century. There’s a story I love about today’s birthday girl Αλέξια Βασιλείου/Alexia […]
BIRTHDAY: José Cid from Portugal is 77 today I mention from time to time that we love someone who tries. Even though they’ll never be the continent’s favourite. Often through no fault of their own. Actually, today’s birthday boy did really well for his native Portugal, and his […]
BIRTHDAY: Willeke Alberti from the Netherlands is 74 today It’s always hoped that a good song, a popular song, will score well. Especially if it’s well-performed by a seasoned singer who can turn their hand to anything. Eurovision attracts singers of all ages, and it’s good to see […]

As we know know all the songs taking part in the Montenegrin National Selection, what better way to start the weekend than a EurovisionIreland poll! Who do you want to win Montevizija 2019 and sing for Montenegro? Who can get them back to the final for the first […]
BIRTHDAY: Hersi from Albania is 29 today Are you from a country that’s never won our favourite TV show? How do you feel? Do you think that [at least] one of your songs should have won, so we can see the delights of what your capital city has […]
BIRTHDAY: Helena Paparizou from Greece is 37 today People win the contest. From time to time anyway. There could be some contests where no song should have won, and the EBU should have told them to go away and try harder next year. But winners we have, and […]
BIRTHDAY: Liam Reilly from Ireland is 64 today I mentioned yesterday that songs had certain themes. Usually involving love. And, thankfully, very rarely about domestic abuse. But there are certain get outs you can use if you’re stuck as a song-writer. That’s why today’s song uses one of […]
