An Xtra Happy Birthday; 5 August

Yesterday, we celebrated three Eurovision stars. Today, however, we bring you four birthday girls to celebrate! They all participated in Eurovision after 2000. Also, they all probably hoped for far better results than they achieved! The best result, however, came from Nina Radojicic. She finished in 14th place!! 

Jane Bogaert, 51

Jane Bogaert represented Switzerland at the 2000 Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm. She performed the song “La vita cos’e”, which is a fairly traditional Italian ballad. At the end of the night she had received 14 points, thus finishing in 20th place. 

Dalal Midhat-Talakić, 37

Dalal represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm. However, she was not on her own when doing so. On stage with her she had Deen, Ana Rucner and Jala. Together, they performed the song “Ljubav je“. They finished in 11th place in their semi-final, thus just failing to qualify for the grand final. Outside of Eurovision, however, Dalal is best known as part of the R&B duo Erato.
