The language works for metal/industrial, but for pop it looks really bad.

OK KID (band name)

I thought you wanted the reason, not to debate it. Even on those links you can see it. Germanic languages just have too many R sounds. G's that are pronounced R's aswell as others.

Sure you can make a good melody, but the pool of combinations that work is much smaller than the english language, for example that doesn't use pronounced R sounds so much. Especially for people who don't talk the language the R sounds are very pronounced and don't make for good melodies. It's actually painful to listen to. I can for example point your second link of the first band as an example. 

You can argue that if you want. But you asked and i told you why. This is somewhat common knowledge. Actually a dutch person was the one that pointed this out to me first. Germanic languages just aren't very rich for singing.

As they say, you can't make a (sturdy) house without bricks. It sucks, but it is what it is.
