Hello everybody!
I was wondering if any of you knows if Phil Collins also speaks the languages he sings in. As far as I know he´s sung in English, Spanish, Italian, French and German (Tarzan Soundtrack).
If you want, you can search for those songs in youtube and give me your opinion ^^
Saludos!

I don't know much about the man, but my cousin is the webmaster for the band Genesis and I can ask him if you really need to get that facts about that!
I have heard that it's possible to learn to sing a song without much knowledge of its language. My guess is that a musical artist could only benefit by knowing several languages.
I can listen to foreign language songs and enjoy them, and get the words entirely wrong. But that happens in English, too!

No clue if he can.
He sings GREAT. though ... not sure if its my style. I think he knows like 60% at least of what he is singing.

Sarah Brightman sings in Italian, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Latin, and several other languages. I don't know
how many (if any) of these languages she speaks, but her pronunciation sounds good and she usually sings a song
in whichever language she feels will give it the right "feel". Occasionally she records a song in more than one
language.
