Is it THAT hard to pronounce for a Japanese ? O_o
I don't know, maybe she doesn't realize her pronounce is bad when she records the songs because no native English speaker directly told her that
I mean, she recorded a song with TCL and they didn't seem to mind that her pronounce is bad, otherwise they wouldn't have released it like that...
I think it's probably really hard for Japanese native speakers to correctly pronounce English words, specially because sometimes they pronounce the same way they would write those words in katakata...

But then again, her pronounce is still better than some other Japanese artists, and they don't seem to mind when they record songs with English parts that no one can tell what the heck they are saying (like Kuu sometimes)
