#BIRTHDAY: 24 May – Silje Vige from Norway is 50 Can you imagine how it feels if you’re closing a contest. And not just closing any old contest, but closing the biggest contest the world had ever seen at the time. And imaging doing all of this if […]
#BIRTHDAY: 23 May – Malene from Denmark is 44 It a sad truth that for [almost] every Eurovision Song Contest, there is only one winner. That means a whole heap of losers non-winners. And out of all those non-winners, there’s always a last place. As past performance is […]
#BIRTHDAY: 22 May – Athena Manoukian from Armenia is 32 There’s that exclusive club of performers that was formed in 2020. So exclusive that only around a dozen acts are fully paid-up members. A large number applied, but lost out due to an appearance in 2021. This club […]
#BIRTHDAY: 21 May – Max Mutzke from Germany is 45 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. […]
#BIRTHDAY: 20 May – Dora from Portugal is 60 We all know that Eurovision is a cut-and-thrust affair. You have three minutes (or possibly six) to sell yourself to that viewer in Switzerland or Finland, and that can be tough. So, apart from a decent song, how do […]
#BIRTHDAY: 19 May – Merethe Trøan from Norway is 56 Do you remember the old days? When the contest was all done and dusted in one night, and none of these new Europeans were able to do their thing? Well 1992 was probably the last ‘old’ contest as […]
#BIRTHDAY: 18 May – Luke Black from Serbia is 34 We love our song contest. Sometimes what is performed is clearly a song. But sometimes it’s a whole performance. More bang for your buck, as it were. In 2023, Serbia sent today’s birthday Лук Блек/Luke Black (née Лука […]
#BIRTHDAY: 16 May – Theo Evan from Cyprus is 26 We all love our favourite song contest, but a very intrinsic part of some songs is that prop. We all have our favourite props, whether it’s a massive machine from Ukraine, or rings to hang from. In 2025, […]
#BIRTHDAY: 15 May – The TWiiNS from Slovakia are 40 Two birthdays for the price of one. Always a bonus, don’t you think? But as you’ll gather, a fair number of twins have taken part in our favourite TV show. There is always this fascination with twins, whether […]
The semi finals are over for another year, so that means it’s time for one of the most popular annual articles Eurovision Ireland publishes – it’s time to find out which countries have had their qualification rates improved the most by reaching the Grand Final of the Eurovision […]
