You may want to add Melody Gardot, Elisa (Italy), Mina, L'Aura, Anitta...

I found that Melody speaks English and French, and Elisa Italian and English... I believe if I include artists that speak two languages, that the list will be too long. :D So for now I'm adding only artists that speak more than two. I added Mina, L'Aura and Anita. Thank you! :)

It's hard to find out, what languages the singers speak or spoke and what languages they recorded songs. Dalida, according to some sources, recorded songs in 15 languages...

Thank you! Wikipedia says 11 so I'll go with that. :) Impressive, in any case...

There's a song in Neapolitan sung by her on our list here at lyricstranslate, so that makes it at least 12...

If I'm not mistaken, he has performed at least one song in Hebrew as well.

And I just found he's the only Brazilian who won Sanremo! I made this list for fun, didn't expect to learn some new stuff like this! :D Thank you! :)

Another two: Raffaella Carra. Many of her hits in Italian were recorded in Spanish with great success

And Enya: She sang lyrics in english, in latin, Irish gaelic (her native language) and a made up language called Loxian creater by her lyricist Roma Ryan

I added Raffaella, however, I found that Enya speaks (only) two of those languages fluently, English and Irish Gaelic. I believe if I include artists that speak two languages, the list will be too long... So for now I'm adding only artists that speak more than two. :) Thank you! :)

I had been busy so it took me a while to add these...sorry for that. Thank you! :) I'll have to ask though...
Can you tell me does Tiziano speak French and Portuguese or has just recorded songs in those languages?
And does Yasmin speak Catalan? I found that she only sings in Ladino, but doesn't speak it, for example. I can't seem to find that info... :/

As far as I know, Cliff Richard doesn't actually speak German, even though he recorded some hit songs in German. I vaguely remember an interview on German television during which he said that all the lyrics were spelled out phonetically for him during recording sessions and that he didn't actually understand a word of what he was singing.

According to their website, the wonderful Mediæval Bæbes sing in "in an impressive array of obscure and ancient languages".
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/mediaeval-baebes-lyrics.html
I'm not sure how many different languages exactly but am sure Wikipedia can answer that question. However, I very much doubt that they actually speak these languages, so if this is a condition, they are disqualified.

According to Wiki: They sing in a variety of languages, including Latin, Middle English, French, Italian, Russian, Swedish, Scottish English, German, Manx Gaelic, Spanish, Welsh, Bavarian, Provençal, Irish, modern English and Cornish. Impressive, indeed. I'm not finding though how many languages they, or at least one of them, actually speaks. :(

Boh, probably just English, sadly. But a fabulous group and worth a listen...

I'm just listening to "Remember Me", sounds beautiful *_* I even understand some things, thanks to the great similarity of Slavic languages... :D

Unfortunately, I can't find anywhere which languages she actually speaks. :(

I checked the other members, too and can't find anything about which languages they speak. :(

You should remove Croatian or Serbian from the lists and include just one (the main one fot the person) because they are like 90% same and if you speak one you can speak the other, or add both to all singers that speaks one of them. Serbo-Croatian is a good compromise.

KaraulaKaraula    вторник, 20/02/2018 - 17:51

I agree, the best would be to keep only the main language. E. g. Toše Proeski should be Serbian, especially since he spoke only the "ekavica" which is not proper for Croatian and Bosnian.

EuterpaEuterpa
   вторник, 20/02/2018 - 21:37

I had added Croatian by mistake, somehow I was sure that he had some songs in Croatian standard. :D I disagree that if you can speak one you can speak the other... you can mainly understand the other, but I consider it an urban myth that you can speak the other automatically. There are many differences that even the natives aren't fully aware of. But I wouldn't want to turn this into that kind of discussion... :D Thank you, I corrected it. :)

Wow! I haven't heard of her and now I'm asking myself...why o.O Such a beautiful and powerful voice! Thank you for your suggestion, I've added her. :)

Potap & Nastya speak Ukrainian, Russian, and English. Nastya can speak Italian, as well. This song has Russian, and a verse in English and another in Italian: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/potap-and-nastia-kamenskih-ne-hvatilo-voz... Also, this song is in Ukrainian and Russian (the song is about the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia): https://lyricstranslate.com/en/potap-and-nastya-%D0%BC%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BA... They even have a song in Armenian: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/potap-and-nastia-kamenskih-sirelis-lyrics... (The lyrics are in Cyrillic and not the Armenian script, though)

The two members of the duo Vremya i Steklo speak Ukrainian, Russian, and English. Almost all of their songs are in Russian, but they have one (very recent) song in Ukrainian: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/vremya-steklo-do-zirok-%D0%B4%D0%BE-%D0%B... They also have one song in English: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/vremya-i-steklo-harmonica-lyrics.html It's admittedly not very good, so don't judge them just on this song. The rest of their songs are far better.
