I hope I don't get hate for this but I'm glad they went with English.
Elena wrote the lyrics to the Macedonian version and it seems kinda obvious that she wrote them especially for Tijana. So those lyrics can be personal to Tijana and to people who migrated from Macedonia and still have some nostalgic connection with the country.
The English version is for everyone and that's what Tijana wants and what most people wanted anyway.
With two more countries to pick their songs in the second semi, I can say this is a sure qualifier! It would be great if the stage act will look awesome too.
