IRELAND (English)
We’re very excited about this one because, y’know, it’s The Corrs. They’re singing about being in love while having a female drummer and generally being all around sex symbols.

The voting page for the alternative Eurovision that imagines all the countries singing in their own language once again
We’ve collected suggestions from Eurovision and language fans all over Tumblr, as well as adding in a few of their own, and now it’s time to vote. Some of the songs have unfortunately had to be replaced as they were missing from Spotify (gasp!) but we think the final effect is still quite nice. The full playlist is here.
Cast your vote by following the link, and then spread the word!
GERMANY (German)
A song that captures perfectly the feeling we’ve all experienced of not fitting in, that feeling of being absolutely completely lost and wanting desperately to reinvent ourselves. That feeling that we need a Waldbrand - a forest fire - to burn us from the inside out until we can rise from the ashes as a new, better version of ourselves.
BELGIUM (French)
Fairly well known in a couple of Eurovision countries, this song is about a boy not knowing his father. It’s apparently about Stromae’s father, who was killed in the 1994 Rwandan genocide, and the title translates as ‘Where are you father?’ when read as ‘Papa où t'es?’
UKRAINE (Ukrainian)
In a song whose title translates as ‘Witch’, Illaria sings of being a woman enchanting and lying to her lover. There’s the metaphor of her being a spider tangling her helpless lover into a web, leading them away into a field and making them forget. The song ends with her asking her former lover to remember her, and all her lies.
