Norwegian artists using english lyrics

English is a beautiful spoken language, in my opinion. The pronouncement of the words are more fitted to music than the Norwegian language. There are few songs with Norwegian-spoken lyrics in it that I can listen to and like. I don't know why, but that's how it is with me.
Another reason why Norwegian artists chooses to sing their songs in English may be that if they sing in our language, other people speaking other languages won't be able to understand. English is a language that people understands in most countries, and if you are an artist who wants to be big in the international network, you'd have a better chance if you sing in a language that people can understand. That way they know what you're singing about, and can relate to your lyrics.
