Ah I know what you mean, I've studied a fair few languages, and had to sing in several more; the idea of u and je is familiar to me (partly because I have a fair few dutch friends!). I would agree with you in that informal tends to be much more flowing, less rigid, and more... warmth, perhaps?
There are occasions that formal language can lead to more beautiful phrasing, certain poets would use it almost to excess, but I do agree with you in that informal is (generally!) more fun, I had misunderstood what you meant the first time.
