Sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig, it needs getting used to, listening to John singing in German. :-)

Did you actually understand what he was singing without referring to the lyrics? Even though Sam tried very hard to give John some coaching on his pronunciation, I found it hilarious to hear John sing German with such a strong American accent.

Does anyone know what the status is on the Italian CD John was contributing to? Has that already been released?

English, Spanish, German, Italian: John is becoming quite the cosmopolitan. What's next? Portuguese?

As I´m German I did understand what he was singing. But "hilarious" describes it quite good. I don´t like it that much. It´s nice to hear once, but I wouldn´t listen to it more often.

Everytime I think of an artist(especially John) learning other languages for their music it always brings me back to 1986 and the song "Back To The Street". He is truly doing what God has told him to do, which should inspire for us to do the same.
