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.
Same, kinda. Not a fan of super heavy metal that employs that “demon growl” yelling kind of singing. It doesn’t sound enjoyable, even though the lyrics for a lot of those songs are dope as hell when you look them up.
On the other hand, I am a huge fan of grunge. I can actually understand the words through the mumbling. 🤣
I think that just takes a lot of skill to enunciate and hold pitch. It took me a while to hear past the “noise” when I was first introduced to heavier metal and acquire the ear for it. Theres definitely vocalists that don’t do it well, but like architects’ latest song “blackhole” has incredible range and is catchy as fuuuck
