Here's my two cents...

I don't mind when artists use English, but it really annoys me when it doesn't make sense! I'm a grammar freak and I find that most asian artists can't use the language correctly. Pronounciation is a big factor too. Namie has pretty good pronounciation, but the grammar is horrible. I like Hikki's english, but then, she's bilingual. BoA really needs to stop using english in her songs. Beat of Angel makes absolutely no sense, and neither does ID Peace B. Maybe a word or two is fine, but whole sentences sound really really fobby in most songs. Another thing that's annoying is when artists sing an english version of a jpop song. Again, Hikki isn't that bad. I actually like the english versions of Hikari and First Love, but the english versions of BoA's amazing kiss, valenti, and every heart are cringe-worthy.
