Originally posted by VectraMan View PostI was watching a music programme on TV5 the other day, with French pop artists. They were all singing in French, but with a mid Atalantic American/English accent. I still struggle a lot with spoken French, if it's spoken by the French, but this was quite easy to follow.
I must listen to more French music - I've got a boatload of radio and TV channels here and it's hard to choose. French versions of things like Countdown (Des chiffres et des lettres) can be useful learning tools; you know the programme format and can understand the game, and you can see the words in writing and build your vocabulary.

As for songs, how many have the third verse in French? I can't think of any.

The key change is The Big One (see Boyzone, Westlife, any X-Factor winner) and is the most annoying.
I'd also like to add the pointless guitar or (for progressive rock bands) drum solo.
