Do you listen to local songs more or English songs more?

Hello,wondericequeen,english songs are my local songs,i listen to them more often than foreign songs.Occasionally i will listen to songs from other countries like japanese,korean or chinese songs,although i cannot understand what the songs are about,but i can still enjoy the rhythms.

I tend to listen to English songs more. I was trying to practice my listening skill and enhance my vocab power when I was younger, and I realised that there're more varieties to choose from than those local songs, and that's when I started exploring different and new aspects of music. Since then, except one or two favorite local singers of my choice, or those local oldies, I seldom listen to local songs. With the help of technology, everybody can, or at least, they think they can, be a singer; and it's the strange local market trend that visual excitement is more important than everything else, so the most essential criteria for being a local singer nowadays, is a pretty face, rather than a touching voice, and that's why, I do give a thing to the local music industry any more!

I am vietnamese. When I am little I don't like to listen to vietnamese songs. I listen to English song because of my friends. I started to listen to chinese songs when I am in college. Because of my mom, I began to listen to one vietnamese singer. His voice is great. I found the song that he sing, the lyrics have meaning that I can relate to. Now I listen more to other country singers than the American. (I live in America.) MOst of them are chinese and french. But I don't understand chinese. I just listen for the rhythm. French I can understand some, but if I see the lyric I can understand more. My ears fail me. My french speaking skill is not good.

yeah.i used to listen local songs more compare to english.i am from INDIA and we have so many local singers and so many local languages.i used to hear songs when i browse net and posting at mylot with low volume and devotional songs on our VCD in the mornings and evenings and i enjoy the music and lyrics.sometimes when i get free time i used to hear english songs but i vote for local lauguages if you ask me the songs i listen more and daily.

hmmm...i'm filipino... years before i would have not considered even listening to local songs...local songs of years ago just seemes so tacky, and ...uh!it was either songs from some enlgish band or i wouldn't listen toanything at all...but now, i have developed a sense of pride for our filipino artists...we have really some a long way ever since our tacky song days...so i guess i'd have to say that i would still prefer english songs over local songs, but i can now tolerate local songs since they no longer sound really bad...

uhm, I listen to both. I like english songs, especially rock songs. They got a lot of amazing bands. I also love listening to OPM cause, our local music is awesome...a lot of great acts as well.

you are right ,there seems to be a lot of talents around the world but most of them don't have it .i listen more to english songs and most of them are the old songs from the 40's till the 90's.the century carries a lot of crappy singers and lousy songs,there only a few of them that really stands out.

Its all about being addicted to music. I personally, is addicted to music. I listen to all kinds of music, not only local or regional ones, but, also, english, spanish etc. too. But, I am very selective, listen to only melodious songs, good lyrics which touches heart. So, I think, it does not matter, which one we listen more, what matters is the good music.

I prefer to hear classical Indian music. I attend some time live show of classical music. Then prefer to hear local singers... Not live but use CD or cassettes! Well English songs also i heard from old one. singer like Frank Sinatra and others...

I don't have any language preference. If I like the rythm, the lyrics usually that's enough for me to listen. I do have favorite singers, but I listen to others too if I like one or two of their songs

I often listen local songs because I can understand them very easily.haha,actually,I want to listen to English songs to improve my English level,but I listen to them seldom,for every time I listen to them,it spend me a lot of time to understand them.

I'm in New Zealand so the local songs are all in english. That said I love local music we have here, it has a very distinct sound to it.

i listen which is good whether it is english or my own country local songs. but if u ask aeverage then i think i listen more local and indian songs thn english.

Hi, I am from India, if saying particularly from south India. Indian music is very rich in history. I listen to lot of film songs in our local films and also hindi films.. It is one of my favourite past time.. English songs are good, but for me it is a bit difficult to follow the lyrics always.. It is very important for me to understand the meaning of the song when listening to it.

i am from the philippines and i am happy to say that there are lots of good singers in our country. some of them even perform worldwide. and i love listening to our local music. they are soothing and really touches me. plus they are like a part of my life knowing that these songs are sung by common filipinos, too. i also love listening to songs from other countries. especially the old ones. they are full of meaning and were really written well. ... anne

I only listen to songs sung in English, so that I can understand it. I love music, it hits the soul. On occassion, I will listen to Spanish, as I find the language very beautiful.

i prefer listening to any song which soothes my mood and which ever i feel like hearing.any good music will do and it doesnt have to be englisg songs or local songs in particular.music is a really great medium which help people communicate in their own special way what they feel through their music and their lyrics.

I can tell you that i listen more to local songs, then to english ones. Once it was different, but then the radio stations here in israel decided to give more chance to young israeli artists, and their are very good songs and artists here. So my choice is usually, local songs.

i don't listen to my local songs because i have no interest on their song.Usually i prefer english songs when i was a kids and now i prefer japanese songs more than english song.Lately i bought one famous japanese artist album called Can't Buy My Love by YUI.i can say that all of her songs are the best so far.

I tend to listen to english songs more, but these songs are composed of foreign and Filipino artists. Our artists are very good and can compete overseas. Maybe because some radio stations tend to play english songs more than Tagalog, our mode of communication is basically a mixture of english and tagalog, but at least they sometimes have theme hours (or day), like all OPM or all old songs. Cheers!
