Some countries seem to have an easier time at Eurovisions than others. Some will stick to their tried and tested formulae, even though they may be a little dated. Others can tap into the current mood and make the most of it. One of those successful tappers is Azerbaijan.
Our friends in Azerbaijan have seen that a combination of Greek, Swedish and Russian influence are the way to go at the moment, and have employed them to good effect. In the case of today’s birthday boy FÉ™rid MÉ™mmÉ™dov/Farid Mammadov, they had the tune, the good-looking performer and the polished stage show. If it wasn’t for a certain songstress from the host’s neighbours, we would have been back-oo in Bakı/Baku in 2014.
Farid is 26 today.
Xoşbəxt ad günü, Fərid!
