Slovenia - Vrag Naj Vzame or Heavy Weather?

I have just heard the English version of Vrag Naj Vzame called Heavy Weather and I'm finding it hard to decide if Slovenia should sing in English or Slovenian...
The Slovenian version is the best song sung in a country's national language but the English version is one of the best songs in the contest.
It's still undecided whether Slovenia will sing in English or Slovenian but to be honest I'd rather they sing in Slovenian for the sake of the contest, but I want her to sing in English because she'd have a better chance. I like this song and it could have the same impact on the contest as Helena Paparizou did back in 2005, it's the same type of song, upbeat, dancey track so it would do well in English, especially in Semi Final 1, because there are lots of weird and wonderful songs in there.
Hopefully Hannah can make her mind up on which she prefers but I can't!

Unlike Nathan, I'm not so keen on the English version. I much prefer the Slovenian version. I really like the song itself and I think it'll do well, but i prefer the Slovenia version to the English version because it feels more unique and mysterious; because lets face it, Eurovision is all about uniqueness!
With the English version, i listen to it and half expect the singer to start singing 'Vrag Naj Vzame' when it hits the chorus! That is the confusing workings on my mind. Mid you, that happens with all the songs that have gone from one language to another. Oh well...
