Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

From 16 to 54, that's the (known*) age range of this year's Eurovision song contest in Tel Aviv.  Zena from Belarus is the youngest turning 17 in September while San Marino's very own Turk Serhat will celebrate his 55th birthday in October.

Over the half of the artists have been born in the 1980's (52%) and most everyone else in the 1990´s (21%) and 1970's (21%) with the exceptions of Dino Merlin in the 1960's and beforementioned Jaap in the 1950's.Youth vs. Experience.
