#BIRTHDAY: Yiannis Dimitras from Greece is 70 today Cast your mind back to when there was no free language rule. Two, maybe three countries could sing in English, and there was a plethora of tongues to delight any polyglot. In 1981 we had the first occasion where two […]
#BIRTHDAY: Duncan Laurence from the Netherlands is 30 today Anyone can win our favourite TV show. A number of countries had had dismal results before they won. You know who they are. And countries who won in the dim and distant past can surprise us all and win […]
#BIRTHDAY: Linas Adomaitis from Lithuania is 48 today Yesterday we had a country with one win under their belt. Now today we have a country with a record that’s been a little more patchy since day one. And no wins to their name. Our friends in Lithuania haven’t […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tania Tsanaklidou from Greece is 72 today Have you ever met your hero? That one person who made you think a particular way, or aspire to a certain lifestyle. Were you disappointed when you met them, or did you admire them all the more? Today’s birthday girl […]
#BIRTHDAY: Manuel Ortega from Austria is 44 today If in doubt, repeat some words in your song lyric. It can sometimes pay dividends. Or it can make it appear that your song was originally two minutes and you needed to pad it out somehow. In 2002, Austria sent […]
#BIRTHDAY: Noëlle Cordier from France is 80 today Your eyes won’t be deceiving you today. Yes, it’s fun and games in black & white. But don’t let that put you off. Some of the songs from those monochrome days are easily as good as some we get nowadays. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sue Schell from Switzerland is 74 today Many people have trodden the boards more than once, some with aplomb, and some doing stuff we’d rather not talk about. And I’m not possibly going to mention singers from the world’s oldest republic. But today we have a lady […]
#BIRTHDAY: Leon from Germany is 55 today Would you ever like to be the cause of a rule change? As we know, our favourite TV show often tweaks its rules. But these are not because of one person – they’re usually to change voting, or maybe due to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Srbuk from Armenia is 30 today First to perform in a semi-final? Is that a good gig or not? On the plus side, you’re the first to get those rehearsals out of the way. On the minus side, if you don’t make it out of the semi-final, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lucía from Spain is 60 today It’s noticeable that Eurovision song titles are getting shorter. Year after year we get these one-word titles, with the word in question often buried deeply in the lyric of the song. It’s as if there’s no imagination. But these one-word titles […]
