  4. doesn't really matter as long as the beat sounds good...

    but probably... Mandarin for R&B... and Cantonese for Pop...

    Songs in mandarin sound better, it's more graceful to me (even though I don't understand it).

    eh personally i think mandarin songs are better.

    i think it has something to do with the sound endings there are in cantonese, it doesn't sound as smooth as mandarin

    haha, yep yep. im cantonese and i see canto as a harsh language. When you hear mando, it sounds so smooth so poetic. thats why you listen to amei and jay chou.

    I like both cantonese and mandarin songs...what I don't like is when they have one orginal song in cantonese/mandarin and then produce a new song by changing the lyrics and song name into mandarin/cantonese. I tend to stay with teh orginal song because it's the first time I hear it and liked it.

    I think that songs sung in Mandarin have a smoother quality than cantonese in some cases so I go for Mandarin songs :D

    I prefer mandarin songs especially in pop or hip hop.
    But I think emotional songs are better in cantonese.:D
