Why does it matter what we perceive to be positive if we don't understand the language? All forms of communication is positive if both groups can coherently understand what is going on.

English - Universal and important language, very versatile.
French - Not much of a fan.
Italian - The most aesthetically pleasing to the ear (along with Serbian)
Spanish - Spanish language is very nice in poetry and music, can do without so much lisp.
German - Depends how spoken, can sound very powerful and romantic through Goethe.
Portuguese - Sounds like drunken spanish.
Greek - It sounds sexy when women speak.
Russian - Russian poetry sounds beautiful, depends how spoken.
Romanian - ...

English - World Language from Britannia and her colonies. Too Romance influenced. I wish it retained more Old English and Danish.

French - This language is ruined for me because too many assholes I know speak it. Sounds queer. It's sort of OK because it is an important language of medieval literature and ballads.

Italian - Il Renaciamento. It's cultured. I like it.

Spanish - Castellan~o is sexy when a high-class chick speaks it. It's simple and nice.

German - My adopted language. I get more confident and my mood changes when I speak it. I love to speak it any chance I get. I also like to curse in it, when I'm pissed off, which is frequently, dealing with haughty stupes. The poetry and music from the Enlightenment and the Medieval period is the best.

Portuguese - The Brazilian form sounds like shit. Learn how to pronounce a 'd' motherf***er. All that juh-ing and gjaw-ing. Otherwise Gallego is interesting and has an exotic antiquated quality about it.

Greek - Sounds like a dialect of European Spanish to the ear. It has the same kind of pleasant musical fluidity.

Russian - Makes me think of greedy whores, pimps, criminals and alcoholics.

Romanian - An interesting outlier among Romance languages. Interesting for research. If nothing else it was the language of Dracula.

English- soft;
French- posh (in a good way);
Italian- playful, light hearted, poetic;
Spanish- fairy tale like;
German- firm;
Russian- clear, cold.

English - a good language.
French - sounds horrible, like you are talking with your mouth full of something.
Italian, Spanish, Portuguese - have never learnt these but I have the impression they are really easy to learn. Not crazy about how they sound.
German - crazy grammar
Russian - may sound good in songs, but otherwise reminds me of drunks and hooligans.

English
German - crazy grammar

yes it is, somehow to a certain degree
The Problem is for me that Deutsch isn´t much common in the music scene.
I really want to hear "German Music without shitty lyrics )
Most People here try to sing in horrible english sometimes (Didn´t Tokio hotel tried to sang in Englisc )

(English)
Eald Englisc has the most native "Touch" which i´d define as my Point of View in that Case.
I heard some English speakers and some (accents) are hard to understand for me as a not native Speaker.

English for pop-rock, French for singer-songwriters and chansons, Italian for opera and romantic ballads, Spanish for marches and protest songs, German for classical hymns and metal, Portuguese for melancholic songs, Greek for epic chants, Russian for military anthems and Romanian for any folk songs including violins.

I think there´s every Reason not to think that stereotypically !
Each Country should have enough of their own Native Music and sung Music in the local Language.

I dont find French to be romantic, even though a lot of women think it is.
Or maybe I just dont know what real romance is. D:
