If you look at the last 10 winners, 6 of them are in English and 4 of them are in other languages. That’s a pretty good ratio. I don’t think we have to worry about ESC becoming entirely in English because lately it’s proven to not be true

If you look at the last 6 winners, in fact, only 2 of them are in English, and the other 4 are in native languages.

Let's not forgetMaybe I just felt it was… but you could be right, in some cases it’s just a few sentences in their own language. Let’s see what we have.
Countries singing completely (or almost) in their own language:

I think that’s a pretty good record so far! Did we ever have that many? And there are even more to come, probably
Countries with a little part in their own languages:

Oh! How could I forget? I love the song!
So that would make at least 12 songs in their native language. That’s about 1/3 - not bad.

Actually why are we not including UK and Australia when we count countries singing in their own language. I mean technically their national language is English no? #justsaying

I do not see it ever happening but thanks for choosing an actual used language in the UK rather than the borderline extinct meme languages that some eurofans think would be viable like cornish

Quite honestly I'm still waiting for someone to send a song in Proto-Indo-European just for the hell of it.

I know I will be in the minority with this but to me this is one of the strongest years ever, the linguistic and genre diversity is insane

I don't think it will come close to winning but I do think it could still do well. It's not really a song for the early ESC-fandom, but I can see more casual viewers (girls, heterosexual men) and juries give this quite some support.
I also think they will smash the staging. If you look at the NF performance already and knowing it's Ukraine I'm sure it will look nice on stage.

Lord Of The Lost as well as the lead single Chris Harms posted comments on the official Eurovision Song Contest posts in which they shared all artists/flags.
They wrote: "We can´t wait to meet them all!"

Honestly, it´s amazing and Lord Of The Lost have already won, in my opinion - No matter where they get ranked at the end. Their sportmanship is incredible and uplifting! - They will really enjoy Eurovision!!
