^well of course, diversity can be explained in many ways and I can see your point in having different languages for all the songs.
But diversity can also be the way of showing message of the songs to other countries in the world basically, and a way to do is to use english, a language most people in Europe understand. A song in a native language can have a nice melody and a nice language, but many people miss the message of the song, if it isn't shown in some way.
In this case with this really nice Bulgarian entry, is that I see she has a message to me as a viewer, but I don't understand what it is she wants to say to me. I think many bulgarians and possibly the neighbouring countries may understand it more than me, but that doesn't help the songs chances of getting points from us in the nordic countries.
I want english to make more people understand what it is she wants to say and make us to feel.
But as I told before, some songs in a native languages doesn't have to change the language, a big example for that is "Molitva" that just blew everyones mind with massive singer and a preformance that made it possible for people to understand, even if it was in a language that noone except ex-yuguslavian countries would understand. And especially after hearing the english version of the song, it was 100% sure that Marija Serefovic choosed the right language in that case.
