Not if it's in XXXXXX!!

I'll listen to music regardless of the language if I like the sound of it.

With that being said, I really like French Hip-Hop. I just think the way French sounds goes well with Hip-Hop.

Correction, usually french hip-hop sound better if you dont understand french. the second video you post have some really idiotic lyrics...


i dont really like asian music in general. the japanese/korean/chinese/etc language sound annoying in my hear

Generally I avoid music in my own language (Dutch) like the plague. But that's not because of the language, but because of it being god-awful in general.

Other than that, I don't care what language it's in. If it sounds good, I like it. Often it's even better if I don't understand it. J-pop lyrics are often horrendously stupid.

Yeah, that was exactly what I was going to say. Dutch vocals are generally as un-awesome as vocals get.

 

[Lieju]

I usually like the lyrics to be in a language I understand in.

I also tend to like Japanese because I enjoy the intonation in it. Japanese sounds pretty to my ears in general.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

I am not one to care about the language of a song. amongst my favourite bands/songs are Rammstein and Sigur Rod, the later who don't sing in an actual language anyway! I like listening to showing music too, where the lyrics are often deliberately drowned out by the music and not deemed as that important!

 

[MeChaNiZ3D]

Arabic tends to throw me off a bit. Not knowing what they're saying in combination with the (sorry, my opinion of course) ugly sound of the language in and of itself leads to not particularly liking it.

Actually, I mainly stick to English honestly. Japanese is fine, but I only know that I'm fine with it because I come across it a fair bit.

Also a side note for background voices, the best line in sleeping dogs is "My cock is the best!" XD

It makes sense in context (The cock fighting rings) I guess but oh gawd was that hilarious.

Shit yeah! I only went to the cockfighting rings once, because they're a bit of a waste of effort, but I burst out laughing for a full few minutes after I heard that one.

And I swear a lot of the lines/faux accents were inspired by Russell Peters! XD

 

[Littaly]

As a swede I have a hard time with norwegian and danish vocals. Call it some kind of "uncanney valley"-effect, I get the basic meaning of the lyrics but I can't really feel them or make them mean anything to me because I keep feelig bothered and distracted by all the ways the languages differ from each other.

Always liked this song, winner of Eurovision 2004 and later used in GTA IV.
I'm not even sure what language she's speaking 50% of the time. I assume it's Ukrainian.

And then there's this year's winner from Greece:
