The Eurovision Song
Contest 2021 will be held on Saturday May 22nd 2021 and singers
from many countries choose to sing in English. With globalization English is
the new lingua franca or bridge language just as Latin and Greek were in the
past.
What is surprising is
that the option of putting subtitles to the song in this day and age has not
been explored at all.
Hearing other
languages is very exotic and the European Song Contest is a showcase for our
diversity.
It would be a more inclusive approach for each
country to put the subtitles of the songs in their own language.
Maybe the lyrics would
influence the voting, as they should.
It is a missed opportunity if people are not even given the chance to hear other languages.In the past the host countries used their own language, English and French. Let's hope it will be the same in Rotterdam this year as in the semi finals we only heard English.
