Re: Ange (from a non Francophone prospective)
Used to hear them quite a bit in college...they never grabbed me like they did my friends. It's been too long to form an updated opinion (I've included a lot more music to my liking since). Maybe I'll reconnect sometime.
About the singing. To me, lyrics are a bonus. Sometimes I'll really like the lyrics and dislike the music, sometimes the other way around. But since it's music and not a book, I'd rather listen to music I like with crappy lyrics rather than the reverse. Not understanding the language is ok with me. Singing is just another instrument to me - I'm not a poet.
I can't make out half the English speaking songs anyway. Then when I do, I usually f up the meaning. Then when I figure it out, the writer invariably will say "Oh I meant something else"....
