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.

    Have you considered trying to think of the vocals as another music element rather than lyrical? Like if a musician scats, can you enjoy that? And if so, can you not just consider the poor enunciation a sort of scatting and stop trying to pull words out of it?

    Not saying you’re right or wrong, just curious where the limits on this are
