Do You Feel Jealous of Native English Speakers?
I have one friend from miami and he was raised with both languages SPA-ENG So lucky. He can get both music industries and artists easily English was definitely easier for me, but Spanish can be very different, so I get why English levels here are so bad in Latinoamerica You have to learn a total new gallery of concept-ideas This is probably how americans feel learning spanish. Its like a whole new territory for them Maybe English is easier if you're from a Germanic-language country? The one I really struggled with was French, because it looked to me like a cocktail of Spanish and English words, and I was always confused. I was like, "Is this French word translated more like a Latino way, or is it very Anglo?" My mind was constantly trying to autocorrect and redirect.

Your answer is perfect. Is exactly one of the things what i was trying to explain. Thank you. As a native Spanish speaker, I get Portuguese and Italian music as it is, like 30% 50%. I don't feel as distant from it as I do from English. Portuguese and Italian are very similar to Spanish sometimes, especially in their structure-words, and when I listen to some Italian or Portuguese songs, it's like I'm listening to my Spanish songs in my brain but with a different styling and words. I think it's definitely easier for us to cross over into those languages. Laura–Tiziano did it for a reason. They can feel Spanish easily and understand how their records would work here. Laura tried to traslate her music to english and she struggled Some north europeans were raised with english and it was everywhere when they were children? entertainment? tv shows without subtitles? Looks like sweden-netherlanders dutch have some of the best levels of english in the world I wonder if they can feel english as native speakers. Someone here from those countries??

It was very poetic before, but now they're very straight in your face. I think something lacking in the new generations of Latin artists is reading. They need to read more and be more cultured. They all paint the experiences of their lives, but they lack lyrical richness. Feels so plain. In the 80S '90s and 2000s, you could definitely see how they hired songwriters and were very invested in coming up with solid, beautiful songs. One thing that is definitely very different between Anglo and Latino music is that Latino music is very organic. There aren't too many vocal effects tricks or production gimmicks. Lyricism was the core of the songs in the past. Now the core is the package and the vibes.

After decades of listening, I've been able to fully understand Taylor's lyricism and the beauty behind it. The way she rhymes things and why everything works. The imagery behind some of her songs, like small worlds within them. Same with lorde-lana But sadly, I still feel the songs as an outsider. I need to be born again in an Anglo country to get that I think this is one of the hardest concepts to explain. The way your first and your extra languages feel diferent The neural connections. The way you heard in your brain even when youre like C2 Would describe this as a wall thing But I've seen some AI covers of her songs in Spanish, and now I get how she feels to all of you........... Gaga feels very dramatic. Very theatrical. Really funny and im curious how she got that big with that dramatic voice

Her spanish records are the best thing. Theyre so beautiful When i listen fijacion oral i melt. Sometimes is not only about the lyrics but they way she created those songs. They everything works together Her voice. her execution Definitely there's a dip in quality from Sale el Sol to the new ones Theyre still really good songs above so many in Latinoamerica but you can see how she went for something far more commercial They feel more minimal. Thats how i would describe them. Shakira was maximal and now she's minimal There's really a need for her to have an album without commercial expectations* But shes' definitely not low quality. Her albums lyrics and the production is far better than some acclaimed spanish artists from the new gens Cause today the media loves to acclaim some really questionable spanish records. I listen to them as a native spanish speaker y yo soy como..............Esto esto superbarato. En serio? que letras tan vergonzosas lol

The way they can all listen to the music as it is, understand the songs 100%, and get how they work and how they naturally feel. We all speakers of different languages. We can appreciate English music and the beauty of it and the lyrics even if we are english proficient, but I think we all listen to it in different ways. Our brains are wired for our native languages. We feel our native language and other languages in different ways. If I'm not wrong, they're processed in different parts of the brain, depending on whether it's your first or second language. I can judge a Spanish album perfectly and tell you if its good or bad, but I will never grasp 100% whether an English song is good or not. Only if the artist releases a version of it in my native language can I understand the context of the song miles better. One nice thing about having a different language from English is... So many songs sound good by default, so if a song has bad lyrics, you won't necessarily feel the cringe. You'll be like, "It's okay." Im not bothered by witness or the life of showgirl bad lyrics cause i cant feel them as native* Do you get jealous of them? Imagine listening to Gaga, Taylor, Billie, Beyonce all these pop girls, as a native speaker. Imagine listening to all those amazing records and actually feeling them as they were born to
