I say there is. Many people are put off by lyrics that are not sung in their native tongue. I have personally witnessed this time and time again. They might enjoy the music itself, but cannot bring themselves to listening to it any further.
I grew up in The Netherlands and spoke Dutch, but the music we listened to consisted of songs, albums and artists from a variety of places performing in different languages. I learned very early on that music really held no barriers for me, and that the language it was recorded in made little to no difference in my appreciation for artists not speaking to me in my native tongue. As I learned 2 more languages this became even less of an issue, so I understand that I may have a step up on others in this regard. However, it still does not take away from thread heading question.
I would love to hear your thoughts about this, so feel free to express whatever you like (although that truly isn't a problem here).
