BIRTHDAY: Kate Gulbrandsen from Norway is 54 today We have another opener today. I always comment on how difficult it it to open a show, even if you get more access to the free bar. But you’ll never quite know how the audience will be warmed up before […]
BIRTHDAY: Jane Bogaert from Switzerland is 52 today It’s a scary fact that there will be participants in our favourite TV show who were born after 2000. Does that make you feel old? It does me. Having these people who never knew the 20th Century scares me so […]
BIRTHDAY: Jessica Mauboy from Australia is 30 today Eurovision is all about Europe. No, not quite – it includes the Mediterranean nations too. Oh, wait, there are a whole load of associate members who would be in the EBU if it wasn’t for some irksome geography. Hmmm, but […]
BIRTHDAY: Michelle from the Netherlands is 38 today Imagine the dilemma. You’re taking part in Europe’s favourite TV show. It covers dozens of languages, and you want to make yourself stand out from the crowd. You family name might not be very easy to some parts of Europe, […]

BIRTHDAY: Ira Losco from Malta is 38 today The returning performer – oh how we love them. Except for Alexander Rybak. You must have your favourite returning performer. Or maybe there’s a performer you’d like to see come back. Like Rodolfo Chikilicuatre for example. Today’s birthday girl Ira […]
BIRTHDAY: Birgitta from Iceland is 40 today Opening a contest is always daunting. Closing it is probably worse, because being on first means to can take advantage of the free bar in the Green Room for longer. Back in 2003 we were in sunny Rīga, which was a […]
BIRTHDAY: Susanne Georgi from Andorra is 43 today You want colour? Well after two days of glorious monochrome it’s a now a good time to see if you’re colourblind or not. And it’s not only colour, it’s also from this century! Control yourself! Do you remember Andorra? They […]
BIRTHDAY: Ann-Christine from Finland is 75 today What’s this you ask? We had 1966 yesterday, so why 1966 again today? Well, why ever not. We get swamped with songs from the last decade, but it’s good to revisit where the past times. In Luxembourg in 1966, we had […]
Poland just missed this year’s Eurovision Final by only two points. Their representative, Tulia, finished 11th in the first semi final with 120 points. If you enjoyed Fire of Love (Pali się), you will definitely enjoy Tulia‘s new song Trawnik, a collaboration with the 1996 Polish Eurovision singer […]
