which sounds better: songs sung in canto or madarin

I prefer mandarin, it's easier to understand and it just sounds softer.

 

i think mandarin music is more smooth and times while canto music sounds chopped up -whistle

 

Mmmm i agree that mandarin songs sound nicer than canto, prob cos there are less vowels in mandarin making the songs more fluent etc., i never sing canto songs when i do karaoke with my friends cos it's just too much effort for me although i speak it at home lol!

 

much prefer Mandarin

 

The artist singing it depends, but then when you listen to it in mandarin, everything seems to sound as if it all flows nicely and better than a contonese version.

 

yea, even though i understand more cantonese, i tend to find mandarin songs more easy on the ears.

 

I prefer to listen to mando songs ^^;; i guess because they have a nice flow to it..even though i don't understand it;;
Some canto songs are nice, tho.
it really depends on whos singing and the music ><;;

 

i like both it just dpends which song n who is singing it

 

those who sing in mandarin sounds better... mandarin is more smooth sounding whereas cantonese is rough and harder to sing...

 

cantonese is better

 

sounds in mandarin are more emotional, in my opinion

 

well it depends on the song. You can and NEVER will have "the Swordsman" sung in mandarin, b/c it'd sound like garbage, or Wong Fei Hung in Cantonese. See? yeah...

 

which ever suits

 

i think that alot of the songs sound better in canto cuz almost all of the mando songs are literly screaming

 

well end of the day, depends on personal preference
the meaning of the song, lyrics all make quite a big difference

but the more n more i'm listening, i'm prefering mandarin
guess its just the way the accents are pronounced
tho it does def depend on the singer...

 

I think mando music sounds better, but dunno if that's a psychological thing haha!

 

I think it depends on the mood. If your in a lousy mood then you won't be concentrating and like what you hear.

 

i like cantonese more cuz i can actually undersatand.=P lol

 

Cantonese since I can understand it and it's more familiar to me. Mandarin is just a different language to me that isn't familair though I can understand some. So yeah. I just like Cantonese more.

 

i speak cantonese but still i can't understand the songs. So I have no preference. I guess the voice and the beat matters more.
