@Adept That's because spanish has a very "complete" phonetic system. Spanish phonetics can easily imitate chinese, japanese, english, german portuguese and a lot of other languages. The main problem with the catalan/spanish usage is the vocal transitions; while almost every language tends to be fluid, catalan has a lot of "gasped" or "paused" words, triphones and even diphones are difficult to handle.

For example, in Maikas catalan demo "Fantasia" lyrics says "Fantasia, aquesta es la clau amb harmonia, aquest es el secret". In spanish, it would be speaked as it reads. Catalan way is "Fantasia, a*questa es la c*lau, amb armonia, a*quest el seh*cret" (insert a little gasp in every *)
