Are Ex-Yugoslav countries underrated in contests? YES. Especially Slovenia.  |

I guess people prefer other popular singers and only songs in English. I always liked songs in other languages. ;D I'm thinking to make an edition in TVC where they can only send songs in the native language of the country  Yes please  |

Oh, it will be awesome! (Thinking of the old Eurovision days when all countries were competed in their native language  ♥) |

I really want to hear a song in Azerbaijani, When the Music Dies sounds better in it's Azerbaijani version 'Gel'
I want more Bosnian,Macedonian,Serbian,Slovene and Montenegrin.
I want to hear more songs in Estonian and Finnish, they're amazing languages.
I guess it won't go back that way, but I admire countries that always send songs in their native language, like Spain,Serbia and France.

I guess people prefer other popular singers and only songs in English I'm an English native and I prefer songs that aren't in English (unless i'm listening to someone like Adele of course). In relation to this thread ... no I don't think really think they are ... because all of these said countries if in the final are guaranteed to vote for whoever they border with ... Eurovision is sloppy these days in terms of the songs picked, like Kati Wolf - in my view - should have sang szerelem miert mulsz ... Iceland always do a song in Icelandic at their national selection and then translate it to English for the performance at Eurovision ... It's sadly because (and this is from my training as an English teacher to Foreign Speakers) that English is the lingua franca of Europe, because the number of people who speak English as their second language is double the number of actual native English speakers... |

Mhmm, that's right. Though I feel  Iceland does it great for doing their entries to English language. I actually love "Never Forget" more than "Mundu eftir mÊr" |

I always prefer the native languages. For example Serbia this year was brilliant and the english version was horrible. Iceland could've done much better if they sing in icelandic. Greece last year (Loukas part) was amazing. I don't know about Serbia or Macedonia for example that always send songs in native language, but here people think he should let an english song participate. What i think is: This show was always meant to spread countries tradition so i prefer get horrible results but send a song in portuguese. Imagine Vida Minha, Senhora do Mar, or Em Nome do Amor in english ... it would be horrible
