#BIRTHDAY: Amila Glamočak from Bosnia & Herzegovina is 58 today Are you a fan of a ballad? They can be more heartfelt than a banger, but they’re not everyone’s cup of tea. There are many out there that are darn good, and should be in people’s all time […]
#BIRTHDAY: Laura Rizzotto from Latvia is 30 today Nationality is a funny thing. Some countries taking part in our favourite TV show insist on someone who only hails from where they’re representing. Others have a more laissez-faire approach. Today’s birthday girl Laura di Karvaļu Rizzotto is of Latvian […]
#BIRTHDAY: Arilena Ara from Albania is 26 today It’s another near miss today. You know, the contest that never was in 2020. Some could call it purgatory. And some managed to get out of said purgatory in 2021. And then there were the others… Today’s birthday girl Arilena […]
#BIRTHDAY: Monica Aspelund from Finland is 78 today Those Finns have been unlucky over the years. Yes, they’ve had one win, but very few other finishes in the top 10. How many songs that maybe should have done better, ended up a long way down? Back in 1977, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Carl Espen from Norway is 42 today Do you ever notice that some songs are touted as winners, only to fade away once they get to the host city. It could be a missed staging opportunity, or the draw conspiring against it. Back in 2014, we all […]
#BIRTHDAY: Annie Cotton from Switzerland is 49 today We always say anyone can win our favourite TV show. All it needs is a perfect storm of stuff, and even the country that normally stays in the semi-final can do well. I say this because of what our friends […]
#BIRTHDAY: Luiz Ejlli from Albania is 39 today It’s a thing these days that many songs are in English, or at least partly in English. Some fans are old enough to remember when there was no free language rule. So it’s nice when a country uses its own […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anne-Cathrine Herdorf from Denmark is 57 today If there’s one country that you can rely on, it’s our friends in Denmark. Yes, they took a few years out in the 1960s and 1970s. But they’re a firm fixture, and even win from time to time. Being present […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mietek Szcześniak from Poland is 60 today Do you have a particular type of song? Is upbeat your thing? Are you a fan of something ‘ethnic’? Do you like a well-constructed ballad? Well, there’s always something for everyone, but today is something for you lovers of something […]
#BIRTHDAY: André from Armenia is 45 today It’s début time again, and one that saw an expansion into the Caucasus – that area some claim is Europe and some claim is Asia. We’re not going to discuss that geographical question here. Today’s birthday boy Անդրեյ Սերգեյի Հովնանյան/André Sergey […]
