Engrish? Utada? Isn't she a New Yorker?
Also, that ain't too weird. Well not grammatically

For me engrish is when you have a sentence that doesn't make sense like BoAs "Shine we are"...It's ok if the pronounciation is bad but when the lyrics don't make sence I think they should stick with japanese...The one with the best english is Utada...BoA I can mostly understand her english..Just listen to DOUBLE the english version and Sara the english version her english there is very good....And Namies english has improved a lot since her debut and the lyrics in her songs do make sence....But sometimes it can be cute with engrish.

Doesn't it mean she wants someone else's boyfriend, someone else's "baby", "honey pie" "darling"...?

Why is it always about xes around here?

True it makes sense technically . . . I just generally don't hear songs from her . . . that go in that direction o.0

Engrish gives me major LULZZZZZZZZ.

"Can I'm Satisfied?" for example. BoA amazes me.

I'm gonna say no...why? I don't really know...sometimes it just bothers me because it's too common. I like the Japanese language and I listen to J-music for that purpose. Plus, it can be a little awkward at times (not to be mean). There are rare occassions when it sounds just a teensy bit cute.
