In English or in their own language?
A concern of every year’s entry is the language matter and whether a song will be in English, in the language of the country which represents or in any other language.
This year 25 songs which makes a strong majority are delivered exclusively in English. Another nine countries (The Netherlands, Slovenia, Ukraine, Iceland, Serbia, Italy and France, Lithuania, Moldova) are singing in their own language. From this group only Moldova has a repeated line in English.
The rest six participants are using a combination of two languages and these are: Spain, Albania, San Marino, Cyprus, Portugal and Romania (contains the song title and one line in Spanish)!
In case you haven’t listened to any of them yet, although we don’t believe it or if you just want to have a quick revision, this is the Official Recap.
