I cant understand your point that everybody must sing in their own language? I accept that you want it, but I dont want it. I dont understand Azeri, I dont think that there is any other country that understands it either. Apart the music I appreciate the lyrics. I want to understand the whole package of the song (music+lyrics). I cant imagine Safura sings Drip Drop in Azeri and gets 12 points from me!!!

Folklore and anglovision??? Why do you think that those who doesnt sing in folklore style in their own language, sings in Anglovision? Have you ever paid attention to your own country's entries? Or to other Eurovision entries for example last year Germany or Finland with Lordi, Norway with fairytail, Sweden with popular last year and so on? I dont think that any of them knew that they sing in Anglovision.

I believe that Azerbaijan will demonstrate their own culture in Eurovision in Baku. Maybe it will be not Sabina, but they will have something cultural. Azerbaijan was the only country this year that demonstrated their national dance, traditional music during the official opening with Mayors and in the National Final. I am pretty sure that they will show us more cultural stuff during the ESC in Baku.

I think Eurovision is not the right place to get familiar with some countries ethnocultura or folklore by their singers. I cant imagine what people would think about Finnish culture after Lordi.

I disagree with your take on this sorry. I don't really get your examples really?? Safura, Germany, Lordi? I am not sure you even got my point to be honest. What I mean with "Anglovision" is simply the idea you propose that everything should be in English, and yeah I think it's a sad view on Eurovision to be honest.

Personally I don't need to understand lyrics to appreciate music, this is not a poetry contest, it's not even a contest which was ever famous for its lyrics in the first place.

I appreciate all Europe, not just a tiny bit of it, and the way I see it I see this for what it is, entries representing countries, and to me that includes languages aswell.

Can a song be in English and still represent a country? Sure it can, but I still think a part will be missed.

I didn't even talk about "folklore", but yeah I think that now when Azerbaijan is hosting, after basically "renting" entries from Sweden for the past years, it might be a good time to present something actually Azeri.

The whole idea with Eurovision is to present all Europe, atleast that's how I view it. Most of the music I normally listen to is in English, I don't need it to be like that everywhere however.

No this is NOT Azerbaijani entry. It is just one of the new songs of Sabina. ITV's English version of the website just made a mistake as presenting it as an entry.

Probably the last day of submission. Somewhere around 17-18th of March.

I agree with A-Lister!
Mostly music in their own language sounds better, because of emotions and expressions in own language!
Also, I have to say that very often accents are horrible in English. Like Russia 2011 for example ;)
Some languages may sound strange to other countries, like Dutch, Turkish, Swedish and so on... But for me it would be so nice to see each country perform in their own language and with some ethnic folk elements in their song. And it doesn't mean that the song can't be modern!

Speaking of Safura, I really like her version of old beautiful traditional folk song "Sari Gelin"

I would be delighted to hear something local from hosts. Maybe they will want to show their culture and don't want to host again so they will give Swedes a break ;) That is my hope...
As for Sabina, I like song Roya Kimi, something like that would be nice to me :D or something slow, not a schlager...

I suppose it will happen on Sunday evening without any official presentation, the song will simply appear on the site as it was last year.
i am a bit bored with this scheme and i do hope that next year (if we don't withdraw) we will change the system.
