#BIRTHDAY: Elisabeth Andreassen is 66 today We have a real treat for you today. A legend of our favourite TV show. A massive name in singing circles, particularly in the Nordic world. And a former winner. And it’s definitely not Carola. Today’s birthday girl Elisabeth Gunilla Andreassen (née […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lidia Isac from Moldova is 31 today Which country would like to see win the contest for the first time? And would you go there if they did? Several countries are gunning for it. Let’s take Moldova for example. Not always a ‘fashionable’ country, but with some […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jonida Maliqi from Albania is 41 today Did you enjoy the Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv. In 2019. You were wearing your blue jumper. It was the one that never seemed to end. Our friends in Albania, more often than not, get through to the final, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Debbie Scerri from Malta is 55 today Everyone likes the winners of contests, but we all like those that try, try, and try again. Even if they don’t always quite get that illusive victory. I’m taking about Malta. It’s the Mediterranean’s happiest rock and will be there […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gaitana from Ukraine is 45 today Do you have parents from two completely different places? Is one parent from Ireland and the other from Cyprus, for example? It’s great when you can benefit from two different cultures. It shows that this world isn’t so big after all. […]
#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: Åse Kleveland from Norway is 75 today The old Eurovision thing has captured people who have dabbled in all sorts of things outside of singing. We’ve had medics, lawyers and even baristas (probably). We’ve also had a few politicians. Remember a certain individual who was flitting between […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tako Gachechiladze from Georgia is 41 today Do you ever wonder what becomes of Eurovision stars after they’ve had their three minutes of fame? I’ll wager some of them go back to working in [insert coffee shop chain here]. Maybe some of them end up catching norovirus […]
