#BIRTHDAY: Iris from Belgium is 29 today Do you think that those semi-finals are brutal? We’ve all had discussions on why a certain song qualifies over another song. After all, every act in every semi-final is trying their hardest to make the leap from weekday sideshow to main […]
#BIRTHDAY: Iva Zanicchi from Italy is 84 today Certain contests are known for more than just the songs. It could be a stage invasion, someone falling over when trying to present a trophy. Or it could be something that rules didn’t expect. In 1969, four countries tied for […]
#BIRTHDAY: Françoise Hardy is 80 today Over the years, our favourite TV show has had more than its fair share of big stars. Not those that have one bite at the cherry, and mainly stick to a certain circuit of events year in, year out. Today’s birthday girl […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marta Roure from Andorra is 43 today You have to admire the smaller members of our Eurovision family. They must have something, as they usually conscript performers who don’t even come from those countries. That’s some pulling power. However, back in 2004 our friends in Andorra débuted […]
#BIRTHDAY: Aisha from Latvia is 38 today Do you ever go to the contest? If so, are there countries you wouldn’t visit because they’re too expensive, too distant or just too loony? Are you would you be happy with anywhere? Our friends in Norway have a very high […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rosa from Spain is 43 today As we know, only one act can win the big prize each year at our favourite TV show. But some of the performers that get there have already won a competition to get there. In 2002, our friends in Spain launched […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sebastian Rejman from Finland is 46 today It’s always fun when a big name gets through to represent their country in our favourite TV show. They’ve conquered the proper music scene, but this is a chance for legend status. Of course, it’s a high-risk strategy for that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maria Elena Kyriakou from Greece is 40 today Continuing our Mediterranean theme – well, it started yesterday – we move east to the popular country taking part in our favourite TV show since the 1970s. As we’ve discussed, Greece’s success has mainly been 21st Century, when someone […]
#BIRTHDAY: Samira Bensaïd from Morocco is 66 today If you were the only person ever to represent your country, how would you feel? Would you want your country to send participate again, which would sully your unique record? Or would you be happy that you’re unique? There is […]
#BIRTHDAY: Amanda Tenfjord from Greece is 27 today We’ve mentioned before that Greece seem to have generally hit their mark in the last 20 years. One win, a couple of third places, and a regular qualifier from semi-finals, you can never write them off. And they sometimes surprise. […]
