#BIRTHDAY: Fabrizio Faniello from Malta is 43 today Think of a small country. Now think of a smaller one. Is it Malta? It’s not always lumped with the European microstates, but it isn’t exactly large. And if it won the big prize at the Eurovision? It would easily […]
#BIRTHDAY: Constantinos from Cyprus is 47 today Do you like it when singers try several times? Sometimes they can win on a second attempt. Sometimes they don’t quite do as well as their first appearance. Some even come back after a win. Today’s birthday boy Κωνσταντίνος Χριστοφόρου/Constantinos Christoforou […]
#BIRTHDAY: Halla Margrét from Iceland is 60 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: Vikki from the UK is 65 today The United Kingdom used to be one of the countries that ruled the roost at our favourite TV programme. They saw coming fourth as a relative failure. Then came the free language rule and everything changed. Talking of finishing fourth, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Severina from Croatia is 52 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 we think it’s nice […]
#BIRTHDAY: Waylon from the Netherlands is 44 today If you’ve been a runner-up in our favourite TV show, it must be tempting to try again for the win. Several individuals have achieved this, but even more have not. It’s high risk, but could really burnish your credentials as […]
#BIRTHDAY: Hanna Pakarinen from Finland is 43 today Would you want to be the home entrant if you were in a Eurovision Song Contest. You have no issues with the host country’s culture, but you won’t get to travel to somewhere exotic. On the plus side, the crowd […]
#BIRTHDAY: Bo Halldórsson from Iceland is 73 today Eurovision occasionally attracts dynasties. That is, members of the same family all clamouring to take part in our favourite TV show. We’ve had siblings, twins and the mother-and-daughter combo in the past. Today’s birthday Björgvin Helgi ‘Bo’ Halldórsson is an […]
#BIRTHDAY: Luca Barbarossa from Italy is 63 today There are some countries that seem to get Eurovision. The last three countries to win it mainly. We’re clearly in one in May, but there’s that boot-shaped country too, and you can never write them off. Our friends in Italy […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anita Simoncini from San Marino is 25 today If you keep an eye on the wider Eurovision family, you’ll know about the Junior version. We’ve already seen some Junior stars make it to the big contest, and one day we may see someone who wins them both. […]
