#BIRTHDAY: Tonina Torrielli from Italy is 90 today We always look at the past in this feature. We find those songs that are popular, and some that you might not have ever heard before. After all there were contests in the 20th Century which were classics in their […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tom Leeb from France is 35 today Remember 2020? That dark time when the world seemed to go on forever, and we couldn’t mix in groups of more then, erm, two. Many countries did the prep for a contest in Rotterdam, and then it was all taken […]
#BIRTHDAY: Christine Guldbrandsen from Norway is 39 today Do you miss countries singing in their own languages? Or do you like the songs in English so you know what the performers are singing about? Our friends in Norway have – on the whole – stuck to English since […]

#BIRTHDAY: Izhar Cohen from Israel is 73 today Everyone loves a winner. In fact, if you leave it at one appearance and one win, you’ll always be a winner. But why stop at one win? You could win twice. It’s been done. But it’s also very high-risk. Many […]
#BIRTHDAY: Salena from Austria is 26 today Ah, the fan favourite. We get them every year. Sometimes the fans are proven right. Sometimes they crash and burn. Sometimes they do one thing in a semi-final and, assuming they make it, do the other in the Grand Final. Our […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alma Čardžić from Bosnia and Herzegovina is 56 today Eurovision is a drug. Once you’ve been on that stage, you can’t get enough. You want more, and more, and more. Look at Peter, Sue & Marc. Look at Valentina Monetta. OK, we’ll stop at Peter, Sue & […]
