I am really divided on this one.On the one hand I think they should sing in Polish just to keep the interest in their music in Poland.But on the other hand, they will never get recognition abroad unless they sing in English.Maybe, as some bands have already done, they should do both.
Should Polish bands and singers sing in Polish or English?

I think they call it dubbing.
they should do both
That`s a statement by a true genius! :):):) It is amassing you also support our balance in nature principle!

Their call, unless they massacre the English language as some overseas pop groups do.
There was that German one, Sarah something, who sang in English with a British /Irish name. Her song was nevertheless too kitschy and German to do well in most markets. It lacked authenticity and was puzzling why she wouldn't use her own German name.

Usually their English is terrible.
I would say to sing in one's native language, unless
of course, one happens to be either Abba, Adele or Nina Hagen!

Adele
As far as I know she sings in her native languge.
But she has sung in English, as I recall.

Why do you discriminate other languages??? They should sing in Czech!!!! At least it will be fun! Ha!!!
Check the Czech song about Blue Stick in Highlander arrangement:
Bottom line is that it is the rare singer in any language, be it rock, folk, folk rock or even opera,
who is able to sing as comfortably, indeed indistinguishably, in a language other than their own.
The great Paul Robeson for example prided himself on singing in English, German, French, Italian with equal facility, even
Chinese, and yet when I hear his gorgeous rendition of "Freiheit", his American diction comes through
loud and clear. However, his deep, rumbling, and resonant bass puts any such considerations to shame.

Lyzko, please behave, she IS English!
Hmm, she's been marketed for years as French. Oh gosh,
perhaps a true native bilingual then:-)
Whoops, just checked. Yes, you're right. Adele is English.

You are confusing her with the French actress Adele......... the singer was born in Tottenham in North London and I would be surprised if she could speak French.
Hmm, she's been marketed for years as French.
Has she?
She's from the Home Counties and has a Londony accent. Who is marketing her as French and why?????
Does she even speak French? I'm pretty sure she's not done songs in French.

@Milo & jon, apologies for the mix up. Yes, you both are right:-)
@Lyzko
A quick look on google suggests a French singer did a cover of one of her songs. Perhaps you've heard that instead.

Must be it. Thanks, jon!
