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 have a buddy who has been singing 90% vowels for Pearl Jam for years. He’s covered them, he does karaoke, and sings in the car. It’s just aeiouy make me cry.

      I think he started covering them that way back in high school in the 90s.

            Yellow Ledbetter was one of the songs in Rock Band, and I was like “yeah, I got this”. Turns out I didn’t know most of the words at all, but still got 95% since I could make the vowel sounds and it counted them lol.
