As I watch channel 188 MTV hits, I noticed there's some Spanish music also. I don't think it's fair to put Spanish and American music but not songs in other languages. I'd understand if it was only American because it's an American channel but then why include Spanish music. Don't get me wrong I like all kinds of music but for some reason I feel like the channel should be either international or not at all. It would broaden every one's horizons.
People watching that channel only see what's in front of them, so why not show them what it's like outside the box? There would be so much more appreciation and love for other cultures and their music if people grew up with a truly eclectic surrounding of songs. It's not a problem if they don't understand the language because a touching song will touch you in any language. I myself listen to songs where I have no idea what they're saying but the way the song is sung affects me and allows me to love it. In my opinion it would be a good thing to open the minds of American people, especially because there are so many different ethnic groups we're surrounded by daily.
Below is just an example, a song in a language other than English and if you read the commentary you'll see different groups of people, like Spanish and Germans, loved this song. The name of the song is Prosti Za Liubov (Forgive for the Love).

Interesting idea, but a bit underdeveloped. Why Spanish? Because a huge amount of the population of America speaks it. (look up the stats) Are you really not against it? You sound against it. What do you really want?

I'm not against, I like those Spanish songs myself. I just think songs in other languages should be exposed also.
ReplyDeleteI think that Miss Seltzer wasn't saying that you don't like the songs. I think she was saying that it seems like you're against MTV only playing Spanish and English music.
