#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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vlado from Yugoslavia is 67 today Time to slip in a little duet for your viewing pleasure. It comes from that mythical country Yugoslavia. And goes to show that, for a time at least, a larger entity can function perfectly well. Back in 1984, Yugoslavia (remember them?) […]
#BIRTHDAY: Björn Ulvæus is 75 today You may recall earlier this month we celebrated a big birthday of a member of some certain popular beat combo from the Nordic part of our great continent. Today we celebrate another birthday from a member of the same popular beat combo. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Halla Margrét from Iceland it 56 today Back in the 1980s our favourite TV show was bumping along nicely. Lots of entries every year Lots of interesting languages. And lots of interesting results. Take Iceland for example. They débuted in 1986 and finished 16th. Oddly enough, in […]

#BIRTHDAY: Severina from Croatia is 38 today There’s often a debate these days about language. Does a country opt for their own tongue, or one of them? Or do they go for something more mainstream? Usually English. There are arguments for and against, but I think it’s nice […]
BIRTHDAY: Amir from France is 36 today Do you ever get caught up in the storms of interest that surround some songs? A momentum builds behind [insert song here] and people think it just has to show up to win. The fan community can sometimes get it very […]
BIRTHDAY: Ingrid Peters from Germany is 66 today Do you remember the contests back in the 1980s? They were a different affair to now, with countries often finishing in similar positions year in, year out. Our friends in German only managed one win, but also managed four runners-up […]

BIRTHDAY: Hanna Pakarinen from Finland is 39 today If you were fortunate enough to be a Eurovision performer, would you want to do it in your home country. If you were a participant in 2019, the chances are you were from somewhere colder than Tel Aviv. So going […]
BIRTHDAY: Bo Halldórsson from Iceland is 69 today Eurovision occasionally attracts dynasties. That is, members of the same family all clamouring to take part in our favourite TV show.
