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.

    Right, swearing became too common. There’s none of the shock value many singers may expect. Usually it’s a meaningless distraction in the song, just lazy writing. I definitely appreciate the few who are still able to get impact, or find meaning in it though
