You even mention Celine Dion and Enrique Iglesias, who, in a scale of 1-10 in quality must rank around -8. If I take those standards for comparison purposes, yes, it all sucks. Now, I'd take Blink 182 and Hillary Duff and say "all English language music sucks" and I wouldn't be wrong  |
Hmm very good points. so your saying one of my problems may be that because i dont understand the langauge well, will infact taint my loving of the tune? and that may be a reason why i skip tunes earlier than I would say with an english song. maybe maybe.
Also you say that enrique and celine dion are -8? I disagree. Music is opinion and alot of people love them so generally speaking they are top artists. They sell loads.
Also a good english tune will make it in the top 10 in the french records. Which i have seen time and time before. Yet when a tune that is no.1 in france, it hardly ever makes it to number 1 in england.
The french dont understand our language yet they acknowledge a "good" tune.
But yes i partially agree with your points, espcially the first one about how i may disregard it early on, because it sounds odd and foreign to the ears, therefore I wont give it a chance.
