We like looking at members of very exclusive clubs. There’s the double winner’s Club. That’s pretty exclusive. Then there’s the 2020-only Club. A little less sp. And then there’s another club with only four members.
In 1993 and 1996 there were pre-selections that many never want to count as semi-finals, even though they served the same purpose. Two countries – Hungary and Romania – had songs in these pre-selections that never made it to the big Saturday night. That makes today’s birthday boy Gjon Delhusa one of an exclusive Magyaro-Romanian quartet of performers. Gjon was particularly unfortunate, losing out on the 1996 Oslo gig on pure countback. More countries liked his song, but that other song got a higher mark from one jury. How cruel. This would have done much better too.
Gjon is 71 today.
Boldog születésnapot, Gjon!
