#BIRTHDAY: Claudia Beni from Croatia is 37 today Back in the 1990s (remember them?), when that pesky new crop of countries wanted in to our favourite TV show, we always thought some of these new breed would win very soon. Just take 1994 for example, when two of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Wyn Hoop from Germany is 87 today Do you ever get confused by song titles? You expect a song in a certain language because of the title, and you get something else? Songs in Serbo-Croat with English titles for example. Today’s birthday boy Wyn Hoop (né Winfried […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nadine Beiler from Austria is 33 today Some countries have had a patchy relationship with our favourite TV show. Take Italy for example. They took over a decade out, and eventually won when they chose to. Then there are our friends in Austria. It’s been a bit […]
#BIRTHDAY: Amber from Malta is 32 today It’s often discussed whether certain countries could host our favourite TV show if they won. We know for certain that winning can be a headache for some broadcasters. The Mediterranean’s happiest rock has never hosted the big ESC, but they do […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kathy Leander from Switzerland is 60 today Our friends from the heights of Europe that calls itself the Swiss Confederation have been stalwarts of Eurovision from the start. As you would expect, in almost seventy year’s worth of participation, there have been highs and lows. We all […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anne-Marie David is 71 today A winner? Well, there have been 70 of them, so they’ll crop up here from time to time. There is another winner who has a birthday today, but I’ll save her for another year. Today’s birthday girl Anne-Marie David has actually represented […]
#BIRTHDAY: Max Mutzke from Germany is 42 today Since the advent of the in-situ semi-finals in 2004, the Big Four/Five have always had their place in the Grand Final assured. Some disagree with this, but it can add that extra je ne sais quoi to proceedings. In that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Al Bano from Italy is 80 today Our friends in Italy are a very musical bunch. ‘Only’ three wins, but with the capability to win far more often should they choose to. And they even choose the range of configurations, from soloists to groups. And even, occasionally, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ott Lepland from Estonia is 36 today It’s always good when a singer’s birthday comes along whose song is a personal favourite. And when it’s perhaps a Baltic song, even better. And it comes from an excellent year. Estonia has only had one win so far, but […]
#BIRTHDAY: Can Bonomo from Türkiye is 36 today It’s always sad when a country decides to sit out our favourite TV show. We had a now-absent country yesterday, and we have another one today. Back in 2012, we saw the last entry to date from Türkiye/Turkey. We want […]
