It’s been many a year since a lower age limit on performers meant that we said to goodbye to precocious child stars at our favourite TV show. They do have their own show now, which means a more level-playing field for all.
But it means we get the occasional teenager in the big contest, like today’s birthday boy Βίκτωρ Βερνίκος Γιούργκενσεν/Victor Vernicos Jørgensen. He was clearly the youngest performer in sunny Liverpool in 2023, but he also marked another milestone – and we love a milestone. Victor is the first named performer to be born over 100 years after the earliest birth of a Eurovision performer. That was – trivia fans – Germany’s Lale Anderson. He now has someone else in this exclusive club, but with Victor, you can say that it’s only a matter of time before a winner comes from this Second Century club. If he tries again, it could even be Victor.
Victor is 18 today.
Χρόνια πολλά/Tillykke med fødselsdagen, Βίκτωρ/Victor!
