#BIRTHDAY: Gitte Hænning is 78 today Remember Germany? They win very occasionally and also finish near the bottom of the table? A country in the middle of Europe bordering lots of places? Well they don’t always win or finish badly. And they don’t always have a German singer. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tanja Ribič from Slovenia is 56 today What style of song do you like best? Does it need costume changes, clucking, or maybe the odd penguin on stage? Or do you like a song just to be a song without all the bells and whistles? Today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gabriela Gunčíková from Czechia is 31 today Our friends in the Czech Republic have had an interesting time in our favourite TV show. As we know, the semi-finals are bloodbaths, and getting out of them can be tricky. In their first three attempts, the Czechs accrued 10 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vilija from Lithuania is 38 today Do you ever wonder what happens to those singers that don’t make it to a Grand Final? There are a large number of acts who have nothing to do after Wednesday and Friday mornings. The thing to do is for them […]

#BIRTHDAY: Nucha from Portugal is 58 today What do you now? It’s Lusitanian singing that was largely ignored by the juries of Europe. I’ll admit that not everything Portugal did was good, but they deserved better some years. Back in 1990, Eurovision was a simpler affair. We knew […]
#BIRTHDAY: Amir from France is 40 today Do you ever get caught up in the storms of interest that surround some songs? A momentum builds behind [insert song here] and people think it just has to show up to win. The fan community can sometimes get it very […]
#BIRTHDAY: Glennis Grace from the Netherlands is 46 today Anyone can win the Eurovision Song Contest. There, I’ve said it. We cite the examples of Portugal and Finland. But there are others. Not too far back we had a win by our friends in the Netherlands. Over the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Oto Nemsadze from Georgia is 35 today Do you ever spot when countries appear to put in songs they like, rather than ones they think can win our favourite TV show? You have to admire them for staying true to themselves. In Tel Aviv, Georgia sent today’s […]
