Personally, I love listening to K-pop and J-pop, as well as a lot of songs that are sung in Spanish, when really I don't have a great grasp of Korean or Japanese, and only know enough Spanish to get me by.

yes, actually it depends on the rhythm of the music. as long as its catchy its easy to enjoy listening to music in different languages. im a filipino, and back when taiwanese shows like meteor garden hit the airwaves of local tv stations, everyone here in our country were singing to it even though we dont understand the lyrics. we filipinos can basically sing anything and prounounce anything since we have mixed cultural heritages, so it was easy to sing along with those tunes. there also was a time when spanish songs like thalia's were very popular because of her show marimar. she was so popular that we had her albums out here and she even recorded one song in tagalog.

Yes, I do. I have a CD of Baroque Christmas music that is absolutely beautiful! All of the lyrics are sung in the original languages of the regions of Europe... Provencal, Spain, Sweden, among others. I also love Los Lonely Boys, and some of their songs are in Spanish. As are a couple songs by Joan Baez. There are a few songs on the soundtrack of "French Kiss" that are, of course, sung in French... "Dream a Little Dream", "Beyond the Sea", and there's that little number that's played while Meg Ryan is wandering the city wondering what to do next. The soundtrack from the movie " The Power of One" is also beautiful.

Yes! I like listening to music of other languages because it also interesting to try and translate the lyrics and if the song is catchy does it really matter too much what they're saying. Two of my favorite bands, Tokio Hotel and Ramstein, are German and most the time I haven't the slightest idea what their saying.

Definately, I just have to get the "feel" of the song. I listen to artists from Russia, Turkey, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Germany just to name a few. Music can be a translation and/or a depiction of culture, why settle???

I enjoy listing to a group called IL DIVO... they sing in Spanish, French, Italian.. and a smattering of English. Even the words I don't understand are beautiful....
You don't need to understand what they sing to translate the language of love.

It's not the words so much as to the way they go with the melody.
Elton John did one a long time ago... Solar Prestige gammon.
I still sing that 'out of the blue' it just kinda stuck because of the way he sang it.
99 Aluft balloons, I think everyone liked that because it was in German.
