Posted May 30, 201510 yr Bonjour! I thought for something different and oh so cultured we could appreciate the best that non-English music has to offer - from K-Pop to slutty Europop to Gregorian chants (maybe not the lattter). There's so much good stuff, so even if you don't know a lot of it I hope that this rate gives some of you a discovery or two! The rules: - Nominate songs that are MOSTLY in a foreign language, or at least are bilingual. I'm not gonna say they have to have no English at all because a lot of the time in K-Pop they drop in an English phrase. However, you can't nominate Let's Get Excited by Alesha Dixon just because she says "je ne sais quoi" in it x However, I'm sure you can make the judgement yourself as to whether you should nominate a song or not. - You can nominate as many as you like, but there's no need to nominate your ENTIRE foreign language music library with 200 different songs. I'd say 5-10 is a good minimum, because hopefully nobody comes in, nominates two songs by their faves and leaves. - Everything that gets nominated will go through, the next round wil be voting for your favourites and then the final will be a rate once we've whittled out the less popular ones. - You have until about 19th June to do this, I don't want to kick things off properly until exams are through but I thought I'd open this up to leave plenty of time for nominations :D
