Well, of course, they speak three languages - English, French and the host country's. English because, though only one country in Europe has English as its main language, everybody in Europe learns English as an international language; and French because it has been from the start the official language of Eurovision; French is an official language in more of the original Eurovision countries than any other (France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg) and at the time was still the international language of diplomacy.

∙ 11y agoEurovision Song Contest entrants can sing in any language, whether that be their national language or another language.
English is a popular choice for entrants, however. This is probably due to the fact that English is widely spoken as a second language in countries throughout the world.
In Eurovision, each country aims to appeal to a mass audience throughout Europe. By singing in English, this may help the song to be understood and thus appeal to a wider audience.
Often, an entry is first released in the countries national language but is translated into English for the actual competition.
Hope this helps!
