I don’t mean singing in a foreign language, I mean if they aren’t enunciating their words.

There is a style of singing where the singer rolls one word into the next word, or just cuts a word off. I find it distracting and I tend to skip the song very quickly when I realize what they are doing.

While it is a popular way to sing, I have never enjoyed it. I heard some of it in the 1980s but it wasn’t widely used. Today I find a lot more singers doing it.

    I can’t say I really agree. Maybe to a certain extent sure. But there’s plenty of songs that are fantastic that you don’t really understand. Hell I don’t think anyone knows the words of Louie Louie. Still an awesome song. I mean I don’t speak German but I like the German version of 99 Red Balloons way better than the English version. I’ve always been of the opinion that lyrics are absolutely least important part of a song.

      I have english and german versions of 99 red balloons on my playlist. I really don’t even distinguish between them anymore because I know what’s being said in the german version even though I don’t know german. Funny how the brain works.
