AB This paper aims to clarify some of the linguistic problems that have arisen in recent yearsat the Eurovision Song Contest, one of the most important music events in the world.Through an exhaustive bibliographic review and the individual analysis of a large numberof entries, it is concluded that linguistic diversity, an identifying feature of the show inthe past, has been reduced by establishing a rule that does not oblige artists to sing in thelanguage of the country they represent. English has taken over the reins of this annualcompetition, although there is still room for the traditional and the ethnic. The researchthat has been carried out is intended to serve as a reference for all Eurovision followerswho wish to expand their knowledge. It also attempts to clarify concepts such as“linguistic diversity”, “identity” and “culture”, which can be extrapolated to other fieldsof knowledge. It must be noted that not only have linguistic issues been dealt with, butthere are references to all the factors involved in the contest. However, it is thosephenomena related to languages that form the backbone of the work.
