Can you enjoy a song in a foreign language?

Cara Mia Addio from Portal 2.
(skip to 50s)

I'm not being a dick but that sounds horrible! I know that its supposed to be an artificial voice but the clipping and autotune is horrible!

Most languages. But I can't stand French for long.

Ofra Haza is my favorite non-English singer.

I've only ever heard her going "AAAaaaaaaAAA OOoooOOh WooooooOOOOo!" but she sounded pretty good at that!

The woman singing it (the voice of GlaDOS) is a bona fide operatic singer.

I get that but there's a butt ton of autotune on it which ruins any decent singing!

Gipsy Kings - A Mi Manera

Based on “My Way” but it’s so much better than Sinatra or any other version.

Edit:
Also, try the Memories soundtrack (Japanese movie score). One of my favorite selections is Nobuo’s Groove:

Tombe la neige - SALVATORE ADAMO

https://lyricstranslate.com/en/tombe-la-neige-snow-falling.html

The snow is falling

The snow is falling
You won't come tonight
The snow is falling
And my heart is dressed in black
This silky procession
All in white tears
The bird on the branch
Mourns the magic

You won't come tonight
My desperation cries out to me
But the snow is falling

The snow is falling
You won't come tonight
The snow is falling
All is white with desperation
Sad certainty
The cold and the absence
This hateful silence
White loneliness

You won't come tonight
My desperation cries out to me
But the snow is falling

I have enough trouble remembering the words in english. I don't how those folks remember them in foreign languages.

Maybe the songs you listen to do not sing of the UNDENIABLE MAJESTY OF THE GLORIOUS SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO!!
TEN-THOUSAND YEARS !!
TEN-THOUSAND YEARS !!
LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR !
