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...
Me too! As a native English speaker, I like songs in other languages!
I love Verjamem, kuula and nije ljubav stvar. I can sing Nije ljubav stvar and verjamem in perfect Serbian and Slovenian. ;D
Bulgaria's entry should have been in English!!! The song has a fantastic message and not much people speak Bulgarian. It's about world unity through music and that anyone, rich or poor, can enjoy music. Also, her voice is great!
) but I think the owner of a contest always gets more points as usual...
