Well all sound better in English but Going Through the Motions was okay. I'm Under Your Spell, Amber was much better. The french woman sounded kinda manly. Let Me Rest in Peace, the bloke sounds too ...not Spike? He seems to normal.

 

[Emma Caulfield]

It's Ironic, I was stiing in French class today thinking, I wonder what OMWF is like in French! Seriously! I swear!

 

[ana8]

Interesting..Still prefer English version...

 

[Queen of Buffdom]

Oh mon dieu! Those were terrible. Especially "Going Through the Motions" and "I'm Under Your Spell." "Let Me Rest In Peace" wasn't too bad, but it certainly wasn't as good as James... Wow. My ears hurt from the pain!

 

[BillieHunter]

It was quite...amusing. In English was so much better.

 

[Magui]

Sorry guys,..didn't mean to cause all that pain lol...I posted them a few minutes before goign to Collage,I couldn't listen to them,I didn't know they were so horrible😛
I just listened to I'm Under Your Spell...it was scary! ::runs to a corner::

 

[Doyle]

Oh those wacky French!

Its ok. No serious damage done. 😀

 

[Doyle]

Y'know, I think I prefer the French version of Going Through the Motions. Better singer and all that. Helas!

 

[David's Girl]

In the french version of Going Through the Motions I'm pretty sure she says tomato!

 

[Magui]

When?lol...I gotta download that vid again😛

 

[JustAnnie]

Going through the motions and Under your spell were weird, but ok I guess...Rest in Peace was just...Really weird! I prefer English! God, am I glad they don't do that in Norway, the horror of thinking what the songs would be like in Norwegian!

 

[Nano]

RIP was strange...Thanks for posting magui😀

 

[Lilah]

I listened too I'm Under Your Spell, it was so scary and funny.

 

[plain_old_clem]

what the what?

I listened too I'm Under Your Spell, it was so scary and funny.

I confirm, and as a french, those songs were just awfull and nightmar-y (does it exist?),
as for the norwegian, i think they didn't do it, for scandic people never translate any tv show they just do subbtitles,

except for cartoons i think (f.e. ice age "alla tallar norsk")

hello...digression...

conclusion : french buffy, no thanks. voices all quite "old".

That's really cool. Wait til Frenchy sees this. I wish she was here right now to see it. 😀

I think I like the English version better though... probably because I can understand all the lyrics and I heard it first!

 

[Bubbles]

Yeah...scary...
I prefer the English versions...of all songs.

 

[AnGeLuZ]

In spanish are worst! But english is better... 🙂

I liked "Going Through the Motions" better, actually. The girl who did it sounded a lot less whiney than SMG did. I definitely prefer the original on the other two though: Amber Benson did a much better job in "Under Your Spell", and "RIP" just doesn't sound as angsty in French.
