I know you’ve been eagerly awaiting what birthday might fall today. Will it be a winner? Will it be that act who were robbed of a win? Will it be an obscure monochrome act that those mature fans talk about in hushed tones? Or will be something that you can only chortle at? Well I’ve found one that will never fall into one of those categories at least. It might be one of the others – you be the judge. Now some uneducated types would argue that some countries in Eurovision aren’t en Europe (and so shouldn’t be there). We know of course that the ESC covers an area, not a continent. Still, when we were in sunny/windy/wet Azerbaijanm, we wondered what chain of events had led us there. They tried for a few years and eventually won, and one of the individuals in the Euroclub every night was Səfurə Əlizadə/Safura Alizadeh. I hear there was also an envelope opening there too… Safura is 23 today.
Ad günün mubarek, Safura!
