#BIRTHDAY: Sandra Oxenryd is 41 today Here’s an upbeat little number to kick-start your October. We know how you all like something to groove along too, and if it’s Schlager inspired, even more so. Even more so if you add a sprinkling of Swedish-ness into the mix, and […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sibel Tüzün from Türkiye is 52 today Here’s something we thought we’d never see. It’s a performer from one country singing in another with whom there was no love lost for a long time. These days, most European countries generally get on, apart from the obvious. But […]
#BIRTHDAY: Seyyal Taner from Türkiye is 71 today Do you want someone who made an impression when she took part in our favourite TV programme? One who’s performance will leave you out of breath. Back in 1987 we were in plucky little Belgium for the biggest contest ever […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ani Lorak from Ukraine is 45 today It’s worth remembering that for almost every winner of our favourite TV show, there was a eager yet slightly disappointed runner-up. In times past this role was given to the UK of stuff. However, in recent times, many countries have […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marcin Mroziński from Poland is 38 today Are you a fan of those Eurovision performers that make capital out of their appearance on the big stage? Being a Eurovision performer put someone in a small club, and they will (nearly) always have a fan base with us. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Yardena Arazi from Israel is 72 today It’s time for another contender for Mr/Mrs/Ms/Mx Eurovision. Each country will have them, and when you’ve got someone who’s hosted a contest, and performed in a contest, they must be in with a chance of their national title. In 1976, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kati Wolf from Hungary is 49 today There’s a word that is used in a derogatory fashion to describe some songs that elements of the fan community think are wonderful and will win the contest by 800 points. We’re not going to use that word here. Today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Julio Iglesias from Spain is 80 today Eurovision can throw up those acts that like to play down the fact they once represented their country. Their publicity material omits that three minutes of their life when they performed before several hundred million people. We wonder why, since […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lisa Angell from France is 55 today You may think that when Portugal won, they had been mightily unlucky to only win at its 376th attempt. Well I guess they have, but now the most appearances without a win honour lies with Malta and Iceland – depending on […]
#BIRTHDAY: Safura from Azerbaijan is 31 today Do you ever wish for more ethnic songs in Eurovision? By ethnic I mean songs reflecting the traditional music of the country it represents. Or do you like music you’re familiar with? Our friends in Azerbaijan have often used songwriters from […]
