I think he take first the English speech lessons before he sing this song, I know he is a Chinese and it's really hard to sing the language that is not your language but this song is representing to the Chinese people but he sing the song very terrible....so embarrassing, If I were him I better sing the whole Chinese song no English words.....
I think he has a lovely voice, and since English isn't his first language, it can be assumed that he'd have an accent.
His pitch could be a bit off in some places, but it could be due to him feeling nervous, after all, i'd be scared singing in Korean (I'm Australian. But Kpop FTW!) in front of SO many people at the Olympics!
Personally, i think he sounds adorable, but i'm horribly biased. xD
he's hot but he should stick with chinese. im not condescending his english. his pronounciation is all wrong and so is your grammar from the dialogue on the side of the video. yeah
I wouldn't be able to understand the english portion without the sub. I didn't think his voice is that great as well, would think china could do better in finding another singer that could bring out this song better.
Wow, after watching his live performance of Ah Ming and now this, must say his singing has improved. Brave attempt at the 3 English lines but frankly, it sounded like his tongue is too short. If not for the subs, I wouldn't have recognised them as English.
i don't even know why there are people cursing at his english. lol. i know his english is not the best, but you gotta understand that it's not his native language. and he probably learned it like in his twenties. but yeah, beside that, the chinese part was pretty good, lolz.
He can sing, but sometimes the pitch is a bit off but overall he is a better singer than most actors.
As for his english, ok if it wasn't for the subtitles I wouldn't know what he was singing for some words, BUT English is not his first language and considering that I think it was a decent attempt. What is there to laugh? Westerners when they portray westerners speaking Chinese (and no difference between MAndarin and Cantonese) they would go ding dong ching chong king kong ling long. handsome.
I think he sings well in Chinese, both mandarin and cantonese, but his English needs improvement, but I'm not knocking him because I know that it's not his first language. There's no need for you guys to poke fun at him, it's not like it's an easy thing to go up in front of thousands, millions and sing in a language you're not comfortable with. AT LEAST HE'S THE FAMOUS MAN UP THERE.
He doesn't need to have perfect English when that language is not his native language. It's not embarrassing either.. but as for some other say, I would like to say that he need to improve his English 'cause without the subtitles, I would not know that he is singing English.
i don't know what you mean by hiring an english teacher, like if this is a compliment or a complaint, but hiring a teacher doesn't always help. it's his accent that he can't get rid of.
this video is freaken funny... lol... huang xiaoming is so freaken funny... well english is basically a first language for me... and wow... i cant stop laughing...! lol...
I'd say, it's hard enough to memorize a song and sing it with the world watching you and having to learn a foreign language, for the 1st time, as long as he's good in his native tongue.
Seriously it's really bad he doesn't pronounce the words properly and english is my first language. If the lyrics weren't there I would understand what the hell he's singing all I can pick out is "One World". It's not like I hate him I like his songs but this was a train wreck
Not every songs are composed for every singers to sing. Huang Xiao ming is not fluent in english and should've avoided this song. BUT PLZ DO NOT COMPARE HIM TO LEEHOM WANG. Leehom was borin in Rochester,NY (america). How could one compare huang xiao ming english to leehom- its just unfair.
However, i do agree that Leehom sings "one world" very fluently and good.
I'm suprised other people didn't tell him not to sing it. If you aren't able to sing in a foreign language, don't do it at all? Just leave it up to pros like Lee Hom, David Tao or something...
I only say this if this song is going to be publicized world wide! It's a good effort for karaoke with friends.
Ok so he can't sing English that well. So what at least he's trying. It's hard if you didn't speak English before. Forget about the pronunciation. Who cares? He's learning. English is hard for those that don't speak it. It's like for people trying to learn Chinese, Chinese is way harder. Don't judge him man, leave him alone. I, don't care, I even think its cute. At lease he has the heart to learn a new language. Do you? Leave him alone! Keep up the good work Huang Xiao Ming!
stop being so racist and mean! His english is really good for his level. And just look at his effort! He's trying so hard in english and he never spoke english before! My first language wasn't english, but a few years after I came to the U.S., it became pretty much my only language. I'm Chinese American, so please understand someone's position before judging!!! When I first started, my pronounciation was even worse!
It is NOT racist to criticize someone's obvious incompetence. Apparently you need that crutch to make you feel better about your failures, but the PRC should have known better than to have this man sing this song. His voice is hideous in both Chinese and English, and if he can't sing the English words, then they should have found someone else to perform the song. I don't want to watch people TRY to sing.
this is one of the Olympic songs sung by Huang Xiaoming who's a actor,many people talk about this song and believe Huang is not able to sing well,he doesn't have a good vocal,no grooving,not to mention the pitch.... expecially when it comes to english, his pronunciation is so terrible that people can't help thrilling,so,i wanna you guys whose first language is English to tell me what you exactlly think about his pronunciation
to be a little bit patient,his english come out at 0:48

But still Better used chinese then English i think...
Maybe his tongue still not used to english words especially for singing cause i think it's bit different than just use english for speaking...
But still thumb up forhis courage... Good Job!!!!!!
