#BIRTHDAY: Géraldine from Switzerland is 77 today We love vintage here. There is more to Eurovision than someone clucking in ultra high definition. There were days when we had nothing more than respectable black & white, and an altogether more demure look. Today we go back to 1967, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marianna from Greece is 68 today As we often say, there were Eurovision Song Contests before the year 2000. Can you imagine that? A 20th Century contest? Well, some of them even churned out good songs. Can you believe it? Well today’s song comes from the 1980s. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Samir Javadzadeh from Azerbaijan is 43 today It’s duet time again. Are you excited? It means you get two stellar performers for the price of one. They get to share the duties, so don’t wear themselves out too much. And it sometimes means they can make more […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jacques Houdek from Croatia is 42 today There are so many different ways to tackle your three (or maybe six) minutes of fame on that Eurovision stage. Being part of a noteworthy duo is one tack. Or you could perform a duet by yourself. Yes, you read […]

#BIRTHDAY: Tix from Norway is 30 today Our friends in Norway have had their fair share of successes and the tribulations at our favourite TV show. Those wins have sometimes been runaway, but the less said about the lows the better. And there were high hopes in 2021. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mélovin from Ukraine is 26 today If you want to get ahead, you need a showstopper of a song. It’s obvious, isn’t it. But how to stop that show? With a song that you can’t help falling in love with? Or with a bonkers stage show? Both […]
#BIRTHDAY: Barbara Pravi from France is 30 today Is there a formula for doing well at our favourite TV show? Does every act need to be outrageous? Does it need eight costume changes? Does it need to be a woman dancing on a box or in a sandwich […]
#BIRTHDAY: Fabrizio Moro from Italy is 48 today If you could put money on the next country of the Big Five to win, who would you pick? Italy was the last of them to win, but who’s to say that they couldn’t win again? Aside from winning in […]
