I don't get this. I am sure that in past years english has been used.
For example Waterloo was song in english not sweedish, and I can recall
many a song in the past that was the same. And what about Switzerland,
Belgium, and other bilinguals, or Netherlands that speak a lot of
english?

: That's the tradition of the real Songcontest, and not this new 'English
: hitparade'.

Its obvious that English should and will eventually be the language of
europe anyway

: 12 songs in English in 1999 is a 'English hitparade'.

No it isn't.

: Please go back to the 'old rules'.

They won't. good thing too. Its much better to sing about things other
people understand than a load of stuff everybody else has no
understanding of. English is the most universal of the european
languages.

Besides saying what language you can and cannot sing in is no worse than
saying you can only use these words.
