    Some songs sound better in Canto, and some songs sound better in Mando. The canto songs that are copied from other artists from different countries like the US are not as good.

    I like Cantonese better. Because I understand the lyrics. And the most mandarin songs are ballad xD

    Certain music are meant for certain language. Hughly depends on the composer. Certain cantonese songs if change to mandarin lyrics would not have the same effect and vice versa. Right? I am for both but the original version.

    it really depends because both cantonese and mandarin songs are good. it's just that i don't understand mandarin very well >_<
