#BIRTHDAY: Gipsy from Czechia is 43 today There are times when you know how a song is going to do. Even before it graces a Eurovision stage. Some are guaranteed certain winners that you can see from Mars. Others have the opposite result. You know, bless them, that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jostein Hasselgård from Norway is 46 today It’s often overlooked how good some ballads are. They may not have the bells, whistles and fancy frocks of something that would fill a dance floor. But quality will out, and a decent ballad is a classic forever. Today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Michael Scheickl from Austria is 68 today We get songs about all subjects at our favourite TV programme. Love, the planet, San Francisco. But people even sing songs about days of the week. Do you have a favourite day of the week? In 1982, we got a […]
#BIRTHDAY: Pino Gasparini from Switzerland is 79 today It must he tough when you perform at a Eurovision Song Contest, knowing the guest of honour is there watching you. Not only that, but when the guest of honour won for your country, there must be a lot of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sopho Gelovani from Georgia is 41 today Songs get some by performers in many forms. I like soloists as they can put everything into their singing. I also like groups as they can share the load and bounce off each other. And then there are duets. Duets […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lucie Jones from the UK is 34 today What do you think of the Big Five? Should they get an automatic place in the final, or should they have to go through the semi-finals like the rest of us? It’s true that the Big Five do have […]
#BIRTHDAY: Birthe Wilke from Denmark is 89 today We go with a non-English language song today. And our friends in Denmark are sending a song to Turin in Danish. That’s twice in two years. It’s good to hear the language again. Today’s birthday girl Birthe Wilke is at […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jamie-Lee from Germany is 27 today Who would you like to see win our favourite TV show this year? A song from one of the semi-finals? Or one of those automatic qualifiers? As we know, six countries per year make it straight through to the Grand Final. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alvan from France is 32 today It’s good to see something different tried at a Eurovision Song Contest. Usually anyway. Sometimes, Schlager can get a bit staid, and how many have suffered death-by-ballad? So something a bit folksy can stand out. Take 2022 for example. Our friends […]
#BIRTHDAY: Paul Oscar from Iceland is 55 today Just occasionally, we get songs that break the mould. A song so different that it has to be seen to be believed, and our favourite TV show is never quite the same again. And that brings me onto today’s song. […]
