Your first thought is probably French But we all know Russians will win this, unfairly. And the Koreans are the underdog. I can't do this by myself...please contribute Before we get started,,,we have to get the French and the "Classic Women that ClutchFans Love" out of the way...

So what's your favorite language for song (not counting English) I'm over my head with the Koreans....need some help.
just got a text to say that the Ukranian's object to the notion that the Russians have a sexier language. brought to us by Vika...who likes the basketballs. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/_vSjBG1K8a4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
And here is the more traditional, folk Ukranian music. Gotta love the low-tech stage pyrotechnics and male dancing accompaniment...but she's got the classic voice, can't deny that. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/rpspf3XiuDs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
just got a reply text from the Russians saying I'm not even trying to show how they should win easily, and admittedly, unfairly. we give you the classic song by Via-Gra (yep that's their name) with "Stop Stop Stop" and several moments that sound like "**** souvenir." You can't beat the Russians for sexy language. ...just not fair. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ORfupq1fG_Q" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Well, "which language is sexiest (in music)" isn't necessarily the same thing as "which foreign artists get your wood the woodiest with their videos"? Brazilian Portuguese is a gorgeous language for music. But then, I'm biased. Hats off, however, to these other artists posted and their wonderful tributes to the objectification of women. No sarcasm.

And same with Swahili? The language seems based on music. It's like they are playing percussion with their voice. done by Diana <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/h3HFhT8biqY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Korean language is sexy? I like K-Pop for hip pop/beats based music but the language just sound rough and choppy, almost like Cantonese. Great attitude but not smooth to listen too. IMO Japanese is "sexier" <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/kOSNIIx5u_U?list=AL94UKMTqg-9BJNJ3_TYIlrugkpFCcJcWW" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

You know they're just trying to phonetically sing "Rapper's Delight" in Spanish, right? 6/10 The SPANISH one without the crappy English translation is better, FYI.

As a classical/opera singer, I have had many opportunities to perform in a TON of different languages, both on stage and in the practice room, including most of the languages already mentioned in this thread. I can't tell you what I think is sexiest, because after learning them and living with them for a brief while, you gain an appreciation for the rhythm and beauty of any language. Except Finnish. The Finnish language is a tool of Satan and must be eradicated from the face of the earth.
