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 […]

BIRTHDAY: Dana International from Israel is 47 today It’s winner time! Yeah, winner time! You know the ones. They scored more points than the countries they were up against. Except in one instance. But that’s another story. Plenty of countries have won more than once, and some have […]

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 […]
BIRTHDAY: András Kállay-Saunders from Hungary is 34 today Isn’t it always the way that most songs have themes running through them. Falling in love, falling out of love, tributes, those sorts of things. Occasionally, we get a sing that’s a bit darker. Very dark in fact. It has […]
BIRTHDAY: Jaana Pelkonen from Finland is 42 today What’s this? A birthday and it isn’t a singer? Well we like to mix things up a little sometimes. So we’ve picked a presenter. Jaana did her stuff in Finland in 2007. She wasn’t alone – only Swedes do that […]

BIRTHDAY: Tina Karol from Ukraine is 34 today Who doesn’t love a good thigh-slapper of a song. It’s more than just plain old Schlager. A good old banger that will fill a dance floor, even if the lyric isn’t the most profound in the world. A thigh-slapper with […]
