FRA: Destination Eurovision Semi-final Two One semi-final down, one to go. As you may have seen from last Saturday, four will make it through to final of Destination Eurovision (DE) on Saturday 26 January. You’ll be able to follow all of the action on France 2, TV5Monde and […]
BIRTHDAY: Françoise Hardy from Monaco is 75 today We’ve had a few birthdays from the era of colour, so it’s only fair we remember our heritage. Those days when everyone in western Europe had to watch, because there were no other channels to tune into. Some stars from […]
BIRTHDAY: Maja Keuc from Slovenia is 27 today Many performers in the recent contests have burst onto the scene through one of the many talent discovery shows that are doing the rounds. I won’t name them all, but I think you know the ones I mean. Are they […]
BIRTHDAY: Semiha Yankı from Turkey is 61 today Much as I hate to say it, but Sweden has been involved in more than its fair share of good contests over the years. Not just ones they’ve won, but also ones they’ve hosted. I go on (and on) about […]

BIRTHDAY: Muriel Day from Ireland is 77 today* Some of you may only have ever seen contests in glorious colour. And the quality seems to get higher every year. A pity the songs don’t always follow suit. Although we take colour for granted now, it wasn’t always the […]
#FRA: Destination Eurovision Semi-final One On Saturday, France Télévisions launches its hunt for a representative for Tel Aviv. As we’ve reported, 18 acts will perform over two semi-finals. That’s nine in each semi-final. The top four from each semi-final will make it through to the final on Saturday […]
BIRTHDAY: Samira Bensaïd from Morocco is 61 today This is a birthday that I enjoy posting, as it’s unique in so many ways. I guess lots of songs are unique, but this one is special. So I apologise to any other performers who have birthdays today. Why is […]
