This almost a Eurovision show.
It is time for my personal picks.
Welcome to this week's edition of Personal Picks. This week we are looking at artists for whom English is a second language. There is something about English sung by certain nationalities and songs written in English by them. Most of these songs are in English but there is some translation needed. We start off with an Estonian duo who represented their country in the Eurovision with this song...
(You can check out this playlist on Spotify).
1) Goodbye To Yesterday - Elina Born, Stig Rästa
2) Slipping Through My Fingers - ABBA
3) La vie en rose (English Version) - Edith Piaf
4) I Drink - Charles Aznavour
5) Sounds Like A Melody - Alphaville
6) Lovefool - The Cardigans
7) Dynamite - BTS
8) Fairytale - Alexander Rybak

10) Take On Me - aha
Well I think it is time I brushed up on some foreign languages. Meanwhile, check out this overseas reads and foreign flicks.
