Why are Spanish songs getting so popular when they all sound similar?
I’ve had to update this after seeing long-ass responses about racism and other complete garbage answers. And the answer “nobody knows why” is also idiotic.Original answer (one that answers the question without all the bullshit )→Anything with a good groove that makes people want to dance/move, plus a memorable melody = Gonna be popular. Doesn’t matter what genre it is.—Mainstream reggaeton songs with Spanish lyrics often sound similar. That’s true.“All Spanish music sounds the same” (if you’re talking about mainstream reggaeton) because they use a lot of the same words, chord progressions and groove. And because people like Daddy Yankee, N Jam, Pitbull, J Balvin and a handful of others are at the top, you’re going to hear those same artists over and over— Also another reason why everything sounds the same— it’s the same top artists being blasted on the radio. Not at all a bad. Neither was your question. ;-)
Why Rap singers say bad words in their songs, why they sound angry like eminem and others ? they are a big bad?
They are a big ,bad influence on the young generation, Kids ,by listening to those songs, they will think it's Ok to use that language, and also what bothers me is their so called Fashion "looks",pants baggy ,falling to the ground,tatoos allover..and the list goes on, Parents out there must know exactly what I'm talking about. What can we do as parents to keep our kids away from getting bad influence of those so called Artists ???
What exactly does Mother Father Gentleman Mean in Korean singer, Psy's latest song, "Gentleman"?
It is what it sounds like: Mother F******* Gentleman. Apparently, some Koreans, when they first heard this phrase on the radio, misconstrued it as Mother Father Gentleman because mother and father are some of the basic English words they learn.
How to relearn a language?
Ask your parents to hire you a tutor. I think you would progress quickly, since the neural pathways for speaking Vietnamese were already laid down in your brain at an early age and you have good pronunciation models at home. Don't be negative toward your parents' decision to concentrate on English; they just wanted what they thought was best for you, but I am sure they will be supportive of your desire to relearn the language now that your English is strong. Also, ask at the Buddhist temple if they have any classes for teens or adults who once knew the language but have "forgotten" it or gotten rusty. I am sure your situation is not unique.
Parents - do you let your kids sing songs with cuss words?
I don't share the above hangups about the expressive cuss words of the English language. What if Shakespeare edited all of his little "naughty bits"?! For all of you nay-sayers, do a little research. Cuss words are simply taboo words in certain cultures. I have always learned (in my English classes) that cuss words are simply words that common people used to refer to what they literally meant way back when (for example, sh*t = poop), and became taboo due to the prejudices against those people. I think a strategically placed cuss word can carry so much more impact than an "oh fudgesicles" or an "oh drat." For example, which gets the point across better: "Teenagers scare/the living sh!t outta' me" or "Teenagers scare/me to the point of defecating"? Ok, now that I got all that out of the way, I'll give my opinion in answer your question: I say, let them sing. You obviously have taught them when to reel in the cuss words, because they don't go around cussing. I think kids should have the means to express themselves. You could have the next John Lennon on your hands.
Do you find the lyrics in this song offensive?
Some people do not like the F-word in music. Considering it's not even her native language, it is just trite and forced pop fluff.
