There are times when you know how a song is going to do. Even before it graces a Eurovision stage. Some are guaranteed certain winners that you can see from Mars. Others have the opposite result. You know, bless them, that they won’t win. Or come second. Or come third…
Today’s birthday boy Gipsy (né Radoslav Banga) went down the knife-edge route of rap. It’s a genre that people love or hate. And we can maybe guess whether it’s lovers or haters that tune into our favourite TV show. Sure enough, Gipsy.cz turns up in M*sc*w and scores a nice round figure. You probably know what it is. For what it’s worth, his song might have been every country’s 11th favourite. Or not. Still, it’s a fun old stage show. And he got to laugh at all the acts falling over themselves on the Saturday night.
Gipsy is 43 today.
La mulți ani, Lidia!
