My loyalties are somewhat divided with this, whilst I approve of having so many different language versions, on the offchance itm ight encourage mroe people to learn languages, but she has absolutely raped these languages.
In German she pronounced Ich as "itch". The intonation in the Japanese was based on syllabic emphasis, WHICH IS JUST PLAIN WRONG. My Chinese isn't great but I'm sure that Wŏ should have been in there somwhere, and I'll be damned if I heard it. And I think I'd have struggled to follow the French if I hadn't spent so much time making fun of people who don't even try to speak with a French accent when speaking French.
Also since writing this I'm now about 50% sure that this isn't really the right section, but feel free to move it wherever mods, I won't cry much.

Aaaand yet the ad right next to the video says her IQ is 127. I call bullshit on that.

I can understand a little bit of Japanese, but her Japanese was so horrible I couldn't understand a damn thing she said other than "atashi". And the German, although I don't speak it, I could tell she was mispronouncing just about everything.

(more like 1.27) Yeah, I forced myself to sit through the full French version and she onyl bothered wit hteh chorus in French. Consdiering that she is candian I expected at least the French to be mroe than just five minutes with a translator, but apparently not.

On Spanish: That accent was painful to hear. Also, "yo sé que me gustas" means "I know that I like you". Foolish singing person thing.

I'm probably not missing out on much, being that it's Avril Lavigne.

She also killed "Chop Suey!" I think Daron Malakian described it as "Choplicated."

Lol, I remember a while back my friend found this as one of the top 25 songs on my maths teacher's Ipod. There was hilarity to no end after that.

It sounds like she says 'I don't like your boyfriend' in the first line of the ghastly Spanish version.
As for the French, you can barely tell. It sounds like she is chewing bits of concrete.

Man, even I can pronounce Spanish better than that (though I'd butcher any language if I tried to sing it).

That'll teach those other languages to try and get foreigner music.
Or whatever the hell I'm trying to say.
