    It depends on the song. I like to listen to both languages but I get more mandrian because I don't know a whole bunch of canto singers.

    Cantonese, just because I understand it, though some Mandarin songs sound good also, even though I don't understand it.

    well....my mother tongue is Cantonese, i speak Mandarin as well.....i think both languages sound good....as long as the singer is good, that's the most important thing i reckon

    it depends on the artist, the voice is very important. like in the series the amazing twin, nicholese tse sang the theme song. The manderin version sounded so much better then the cantonese verison. It just depends on the actual song that was sang first. Whatever song that was latter sang would be the worster of the two. Does any one agree?

    mandarin songs are easier to sing..
    well as long as you can pronounce words in mandarin..

    but overall imo, canto sound is better....

    It depends on the song. Have to see if the lines rhyme well and if all the characters fit the line
