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.

    I think it is.

    Personally I NEVER can understand what any of these songs are saying.

    I was very confused by the sudden populatity in the late 90s of a white rapper singing about zamboni’s. If you don’t know what a zamboni is, they’re the little truck things that drive onto ice rinks between periods at hockey games to smooth out the ice.

    Nobody had a clue what I was talking about. Apperently he wasn’t saying his name was zamboni. He was saying his name was slim shady.

    Which still makes no sense, because I thought his name was eminem. Which STILL doesn’t make sense, because his name is Marshal Mathers.

    How many names does this guy need???
