Eurovision birthdays 25/2 – Singing in a foreign language is sheer lunacy

What are your views on countries using imported artistes to sing for them? It’s worked for some, like Ireland and Luxembourg. Others try it and fall flat on their faces. Well, maybe not completely flat, but one of those pr4tfalls on compacted snow where the first thing you do is look around to see if anyone saw you fall. Still, today’s birthday girl Ireen Sheer didn’t just try for one country, she peddled her talent about a bit. In 1978, she came sixth. Ireen is 66 today.

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag, Ireen!
