#BIRTHDAY: Baby Lasagna from Croatia is 30 today It’s often the case that a certain song gets a massive head of steam behind it, and becomes the stand-out performance of a contest, even though it doesn’t win. We can all name songs falling into that category. In 2024, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Regina from Slovenia is 60 today Some think semi-finals are a 21st Century thing. But they go way back, well to the 1990s. In 1996 so many countries wanted to take part that there was an audio-taped pre-selection to cut it down to a mere 23 songs. […]

#BIRTHDAY: Kristina Hautala from Finland is 77 today Do you think it’s true that some languages sound easier on the ear than others? French songs did well in the early days, before English came along. Other languages, however, never really seemed to hit the mark. Today’s birthday girl […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lozano from North Macedonia is 40 today Do you like the plethora of languages that the songs on our favourite TV show are sung in? Do you like to hear songs in that particularly obscure tongue? Or do you prefer a decent song sung in a language […]
