what do you think of foreign music?

beautiful_soul · 12-04-2006, 11:56 PM

If you guys come across foreign music, do you find it a turn off or weird to listen to?? It was funny, there was this song where there was a asian version and an english version, but before my friend heard the english version he was like, this song sounds terrible, then i showed him the english version and then he was like, hey whats this song? it sounds nice..haha, and it was the same song?!?

does the language change your view with the song? not to offend anyone, just curious...

I like foreign music, but not foreign songs..if that makes sense..

I can like a song for the music and/or the lyrics, but if I don't care for the music and I don't understand the lyrics, i'm done for..

listen to music in various languages..

My partner is multi lingual so he gets me to listen and even though l may not always understand the words l still like the songs.
Plus l do get him to often translate or give me the jis of the song

I like some opera, but a song I loved was the Italian entry in the 1992 Eurovision Song Contest

. It only finished 9th I think but it was called "Rhapsodia". I can't remember who it was by, but maybe Accadue can.
Really though, the best "foreign" music is American

Also like "Lo Siento Mi Vida" by Linda Ronstadt which is mainly Spanish

Wow-never thought of it as foreign, but that's true.

Is that way I like those cute foreign guys like you, Unc'?
