I think English is more "singable" (cantabile) of italian... You see, even Laura Pausini made a CD in English...

for some reason that I cannot explain, songs written in English have a different flavour.. I could be wrong 'cause I have never wrote anything in Italian, but some of the guys I play with did it in the past, then switched to English.
By the way, I'm not writing lyrics since ages! Lately I've been writing music only

Lene Marlin is one of many examples! You know, she's Norvegian but she sings in English just for a commercial politic, and a modern point of view....!

Italian is more romantic than other languages.... It's ok for love songs, nothing else...

Try to write an heavy metal song in italian, it will be a

When Piero Pelu' was with Litfiba stretched the vocals (proibitooooo is an example) just to reach that "feel" you can have in english but it's really hard to have with italian IMHO....

I hope u can understand what I wrote....

that's where the harshness of neo-celtic languages comes in handy

Idon't really agree about what you said... italian is not only for love songs. I think the most suitable reason for singing in english rather thn italian, and writing songs in english, is that when you sing and write you don't realluy figure what you are saying.. or better you figure the concept, and not the sound it would have in italian.

wirting heavy metal in italian would be pathetic, for an italian. but an enlish who listens to a italian heavy metal song (that, I guess, still does not exist) would think that it is cool as any other haeavy metal song, in my opinion.

if it is not so, how would you explain nek's succes in spain, and pausini's?

the public don't get a word of what they are singing

igh igh igh

IMHO Spanish people understand a lot of what is sing in italian, try to go there, with one or two "ole' ", "como estas" u can be understood

We can also say that Nek and Laura Pausini made one or two CD in spanish...
