Unfortunately, like you say the time is past. What a pity. I think her songs could've done tremendously well here, just the way they were if only the radio stations had given her a chance and if they had better lyrics which I think wouldn't have taken that much, they would've kicked ass. I think they could still do very well here, after all they haven't been heard here, it would be something new for the listeners, because the subject line is timeless, but just like Beatles fans hoped for so many years for a re-unioin. I'm sure it's something that will never happen.

There are so many English songs whose lyrics make no sense at all. It seems for a lot of people they only care about if a song is "catchy" - so meaningfulness of lyrics is only part of it.

Honestly most Americans/Brits just never consume anything in another language, so foreign music almost never reaches English ears no matter how good it is. It really doesn't go as deep as Iraq war stuff or some bias against French culture in particular. So then you wonder why they even bothered writing English versions of their songs.
