More languages please!

I may be alone in saying this, and I realise the irony considering the language this is in, but I'd really like to see less English in the Eurovision this year. Here is a picture of last years linguistic spread in the ESC:


It's very yellow, isn't it. Doesn't everyone else want to see more red?

Watching Albania and Iceland's national finals, you hear songs that will later, most likely, be changed into English. But WHY!!!!!!!! We fans already like the songs, you don't have to change it for us. It's so disappointing. Denmark's final suggested very much that they think the way to a win is an English language song, with only one Danish finalist. Is it really though? Serbia managed it, surely it can happen again?

More languages please!

ETA: Yeah, Turkey's border is in the wrong place, because I coloured the map wrong, and that bit off Sicily should be in red. Let's just assume that's San Marino, for the sake of this conversation.
