#BIRTHDAY: Takis Biniaris from Greece is 65 today Being last to perform at our favourite TV show must be at least as tricky as performing first. If you’re on first, you’ve got an audience to warm up. If you’re on last, you’ve had to watch everyone else perform. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Katy Garbi from Greece is 59 today Do you remember when our friends in Greece were struggling to get any success in our favourite TV show? Those times have changed, and Greece can mix it with the best of them now. In the 1990s, there was a […]
STAGGY: Review of 2020 Part III Our pundit Staggy may not have made it to Rotterdam, but he can still add his views on what we all could have seen at the Ahoy. You can see what he thought of some other songs HERE. First this time is […]

#BIRTHDAY: Sarbel from Greece is 39 today Our friends in Greece were, to be fair, a country with very little success during the 20th Century. Everything changed in Copenhagen, and that win suddenly came within reach. As we know, Helena Paparizou eventually pulled it off, and a crop […]
