“Scandanavian groups, including Abba, a-ha, Roxette and Ace of Base, tend to sing in English even for releases in their home territories. “It would be more surprising even to Swedes to sing in Swedish,” says Nina Persson of the Cardigans. “Swedish is very specific and direct and actually quite a harsh language. English has more of a veil to it, more mystery.”

he he Juanes a mix between Bruce and Bono????
that must be a joke, Juanes is for the spanish market like Justin Timberlake is for the english market... just crap!

Well, the success of Kent in Sweden and the whole of Scandinavia and their lack of it singing in English could prove this wrong... I guess.
I like it to hear singing in Swedish, maybe because it’s more mysterious to me than English.
On the other hand, I’m not such a fan of Spanish singing and even though I compose songs and my native tongue is Spanish, I have never written a song in this language :D (I prefer English, Italian or Catalan for this purpose).
