it annoys me when i hear it over and over from an artist. not that big of a deal when it's once or twice, but when you're like namie amuro, and your albums are half in english (because every song has a ton of english in it) then it annoys me. If namie never sung in english, I wouldn't mind a mistake or two, but looking back in time, she has a toooon of songs that are basically half in english if not more, and then we get 1 2 3 4 take a bleath, and like a gorgeous ling. If you are going to continue singing with a ton of english lyrics in your songs, please articulate better or take some english lessons.

Sometimes / It depends.

On some songs there are such cute little mistakes, I just love it because it's so sweet.
But sometimes (like in some kuu songs..) it's so strange. I go like "what?!". Well, then I don't like it.

No, I don't. I feel ashamed to play that music when I have friends over, and it just...hurts my ears.

NO! Engrish ruins a perfectly good song! Even if it is funny at times.

Its also embarassing when my friends, family etc. hear me listening to music with crappy Engrish in it...

Sometimes....like if its used in a Japanese/Korean song but not too heavily, I don't mind....but if its like one of those kpop songs where they have random engorish words that don't even make sense, then it gets annoying (I'm thinking that somebambi person and her 'tiddlysize' ). That and.....maybe "I dodged your bullet" ===> "I touched your booty" And when they try to make whole songs out of English (think BoA's US album or the English version of her song Every Heart)

I don't mind most of the time, but it really depends on who the singer is.

I don't mind it, more importantly atleast they are putting in the effort expecially when they don't know any English at all.

I was surprised that Yokoyama Yuu English was quite good in Koishite Akuma. his only problem was she instead of see.

If I try speaking languages other than my native, I have problems, it's not like I'm going to sound as good as a native, so I just care that they tried.

I love Aiba Masaki's English on Tensai Shimura Doubutsuen LOL

I love it when my favorite artists/bands sing in engrish but it also depends on their pronunciation.
