My area of the US has a dialect accent thatvhas a nasal tone. Due to this, French just flows for me when sung. I really should try and learn the language. It is so beautiful when sung!
OK, I'm English so I have to be honest and say that being English I have never learned to speak French like the majority of the people I went to school with! Of course, I don't understand the lyrics as I hear them but being someone who attends opers I was interested in how this would sound in French. As far as I understand the song "Bring Him Home" was not on the original French concept album and was composed for the Irish actor/singer Colm Wilkinson who originated the role of Jean Valjean in the London West End musical. This is as good as any English performance by any singer, it is truthfully excellent and because of what the musical is about I feel that having it in the French language adds a little more authenticity to the piece. I have now purchased the original French concept album and look forward to listening to it. As an aside my surname Chilvers is derived from the Anglo-Norman-French name "Chivere" or "Chevre" which apparently means "Goat"! So there may just be a little French DNA in me.
