Does it sound English?

Hi my dear students and welcome to my new blog.
I am always telling you how important it is to try to speak English properly and I have just found an excellent example which I hope will help you to understand me.
Do you know this girl? She's a contestant in a Bulgarian TV show called Music Idol. As you can imagine people participe in these kind of shows to become famous. Do you think she will?

Have a look at this and just tell me what you think!!


Would you like to compare it with the original song? Just have a look and try to fill in the gaps with the correct words.

Hi Paqui
I'm Roger Villalba and I think that the women that appears in the first video didn't know any but any any thing about English it is IMPRESIONANT how to sing a song with out knowing anything about English, I think,this is so stupid becouse you appear on a TV show an you do the idiot, but in the second part of the video the women has studied a littel bit of English and she has done a good progess with the lenguage and the second part of video it looks more like the original, I think that it sounds English.
Goodbye Paqui.

Good afternoon Paqui !
I'm Maria Montalvo Falcón.
I think that the first woman in the video sings very badly and she hasn't got idea of English. The lady only goes to the TV programme to make fool and the people laughs of she.
In the second video I see a girl that sings very well and she knows the language of English.
See you Paqui :)

Hello Paqui!!

The first video is very funny,because the girl doesn't know English.The girl sings the song but with their own pronunciation and the judges didn't understand and the jutges' girl was laughing.
The second video the singer is Mariah Carey. She has very voice and singing very,very well. It is understand that and her Englis is very well.

Goodbye!!

I think that the first part of the video the woman had no idea of English.
In the second part the woman knows a little more English but still her english is wrong.
If we compare it with the original video we can see perfectly who speaks english and who not
Goodbye!!

Hello Paqui.

I think that the first woman does what what we do many of listening very much to a song in another language we learn the sounds and really not to know that we say.

Hi Paqui,
She's interpretation of English is very bad and is to laugh.

Hi Paqui,

I think all this people who go this programs to do this "spectacle" they might remain in house. And not to do the ridiculous one.
But the second one it was very good, she sings really nice.

Hi Paqui,

The second one , the girl sings very well, so I liked.

Bye.

The video is very interesting xD

In the first everyone applauded and in the second, the girl sings very well and any applauded

Hi Paqui,
I think that is very important to speak English because if you want to sing a song like the woman in the first video and you don't speak English you make a fool of yourself. And if you speak English all the people understand you.

HELLO Paquie!!!
I'm Clàudia Fernandez.
I think the video, the first part the girl sings very badly and not pronounce good English (I think it is a bit silly to go to a program that comes on TV and everyone will see that both songs and spoken wrong) but the second part of the video already pronounced a bit better and people will applaud even a little river, but upon finishing at least better singer.the second video and gave the girl a lot better and sings better english.
BB!

Hi Paqui.

I'm Núria 2nA and I think that the first woman doesn't have any idea to speak english and she pronounce very bad the english, too.
The second woman sings very well, and the song is very beutiful.
The exercice is a little difficult, but it's perfect for us.

Good afternoon, Paqui

Good afternoon!
Bye

Hi Paqui!!
I'm Iván from 2na.In the first video the woman looks very freak and he sings very bad, but in the second part she is a little bit better singing but not a lot (she continues looking stupid).I think she will be famous in her country and she would be another one of the huge list of freaks that we have. Mariah Carey is a great singer and the original song is very good.
The exercise was a little bit difficult to understand sometimes but i did it well.
PD:The freak singer appeared this summer in Antena3 singing "Ken Li"/"Without you".

Hi Paqui.
I'm Joan Lastra, I can't see the video yesterday because I think the adress was different but today my friends show to me the correct adress and I am here.
I think about the first video is a bad singer and the people laugh.
Her pronunciation is very bad and she doesn´t know about english.
But the second woman is a different story.
She is a good singer and she sings very well and her pronunciation is good.
The people listen to she and they are very exciting.
I think the first video is a tv show with a lot of people are singing to were famous but is it an example of a bad singer.
And the second video is a concert with a very good singers and the woman is an exemple for this.
In the first video, the jury laugh a lot and the singer is going to lost and go to her house.
But in the second video, the jury admire and applaud a lot to the singer and the singer succeed on the stage.
Good evening!

Hi Paqui!
I'm Guillermo from 2nA
My opinion is, that the woman of the first video sings very badly and reluctantly, and her pronunciation is too badly.
But, the woman of the second video,is something else!!! Her pronunciacion is gooder than the first woman and off course she sings verry well!

bye~

I thing that this girl sings very bad. She invents the letter of the song and people laughs at her. But finally she study more the song and go again to the show to sings. And this time people applaud she.
I don’t like the woman but it’s funny.
I like this activity.

Hi Paqui:
I'm Arnau Ferrer Cañas.
This video it's a bull shit, because it have brutal gramatical errors.
For example: Keen Lee! tulibu dibu douchoo! He also made a big error when she said monlight, she pronounces "molinight".
In my opinion she is too motivated.
