As a student of French ( not really) I can appreciate her pronunciation of the English word "acceptance".
And the song itself is not bad.

58. Hiba Tawaji - Avec le Temps français 

Always choosing the better singer over the author. And who can compete with Hiba...

Traductions :  finnois

Nobody sings this song better than Larisa. And a great many tried...

Susana... Mon amour perdu...

The song that created a controversy here at LT. Come on... what controversy?

Traductions :  anglais

To the question "The best French Canadian female singer" you answered: "Celine Dion". That is incorrect. What, you want a clue? Here're three. 1. She can sing in Italian 2. She is not very tall but truly beautiful 3. Her initials are IB.

64. Massimo Ranieri - Dicitencello vuie hébreu, napolitain 

There were so many great singers who did this song. I imagine Massimo was thinking: "How do I make my take stand out"
He found the way.

66. Luigi Tenco - Angela italien 

Here you go, Tenco fans. The maestro himself this time. And don't confuse it with Gino Paoli's Angela, also in this collection.
Two different songs - both great.

Traductions :  français

Imagine that the guy (don't want to mention his name) who wrote the lyrics of the English adaptation
"Those were the days" sued and won the copyright on the whole song, including music. I don't think he's
changed a single note. World class Chutzpah.

Gardel would have been proud. Or maybe he was...

Caterina Valente deserved a good song to represent her in this collection. And here you go, a really good song.
No idea if the lyrics of this Italian adaptation are any good or, for that matter, the original Portuguese ones.
But the song is great regardless. Call it "A day in the life of a fool" and it still works.

True story. One day a couple of years ago my Mom was sitting on a bench near their apartment building in Nazareth, Israel .
Then she saw a guy walking out of their entrance. She said, amazing how this guy looks just like Anton Makarskiy.
Turns out it was not a copy, it was the original. Talk about small world... They took a picture together with some neighbors joining in

Traductions :  anglais

Maria Puare would have been proud for sure.

The original plan was to have Dina Vierny rendition which would have been good too. But this one is more than just good.
And don't be fooled by the clownish act. This woman is extremely talented

Lyuda Sokolova is a bright spot on the current Russian pop scene. She was a runner-up in the competition to represent
Кони привередливые in this collection

I think, Anna Ahmatova would have been OK with this take. Planning to have Nina's delicious jazzy takes on some famous Russian

It looks like Angelina Jordan, being the miracle that she is, discovered the "secret sauce" that improves the quality of singing:
just get rid of the shoes. Certainly worked for Katia. She was good when she wasn't barefoot, but not this good.

“Some songs we really like and you should too“ — whether you should or might, please come and take a look. Please leave a suggestion or note if you found something old/new, touching/interesting, sentimental/romantic, etc.
Enjoy!

Suggestions?
Juanes for sure.
Historia de un amor we have by ZAZ, will check pedro.
Andy Williams I don't think so , maybe when we run out of other ideas
Banderas I have no idea what his singing is like, will check out
Thanks

Igor, I took the time to look at the link you provided Monday. I can recognize a few artists but not much, so this announces a lot of discoveries! :) And the fact that you chose multiple languages is also great, like there is Russian, French, Italian, Spanish, Hebrew, and more! Will be listening to them during my breaks. Best regards.
