1.Shes asian. Whats wrong for an asian(korean) to have an accent? Only american or canadian or australian can sing in english?
2.Actually shes born in US. So her accent- when she speaks english totally american. No british accent or no korean or japanese or other chinese accent. 3. Fun to find out people who talks about her accent aint born in or american at all :D
I don't know why people don't like her ! I think she is great ! And LMAO at people criticizing her pronunciation saying she has a korean accent !!! She is Korean-American, was born and raised in the US !! I see this a lot on youtube, people criticizing the accent of Korean stars not realizing that some of the people they are criticizing are actually Korean-Americans !! I'm guessing the people who are doing it, are not native speakers themselves.
You know? When people say she sings bad I laugh, cos, honestly, it reminds me of the people (a lot who think they know something about music) that listen to someone singing really high notes and falsetto perfectly and say "agh, it's horrible he/she can't sing at all." No dear, only cos you can't stand it, or it's not pleasant to you doesn't mean he/she is not doing it well.
Like with Lena Park. She has a very unique voice, that's easy to not like, but she is a great singer after all.
@u06jp6com shes the best female singer in korea and possibly the world because i personally think she is better than mariah carey so i dont know where your getting your "terrible" judgement from but you have your own opinions so i understand. Still really..."terrible"? Can you sing like her?
Her accent? Lena Park, also known as 박정현 (Park Jung-hyun), was born March 23, 1976 in Los Angeles, California.... so what accent, Southern Cali accent?
@RededicatedDaily uhh she was born in cali, lived and raised there. and attended UCLA then graduated from Ivy league Colombia University with major in english with every awards that can be given to a graduate. also had the honor to sing the US national anthem at the graduation. its ur stereotype that hears the accent in her.
@atomist21 Because I know you can't be that dumb, to see that I gave her a compliment and still feel the need to make a smart remark, I will assume that you meant that comment for someone else. Saying someone has an accent should not bother anyone. I am told I have an accent and I have lived in the US all of my life. I take it as a compliment. You should feel no obligation to respond, as I understand, we all make mistakes and any comment further would be a waste of everyone's time.
lol at people saying she has a korean accent. that isn't an accent! she's still a korean afterall, the way she pronounces some words are different than an american, but that isn't an accent.
Does Lena have an accent? Yes, southern californian accent. Californian girls vowel a lot rolling their tongues whenever possible. Does Lena have a Korean accent? Maybe not. She was born and raised and educated in California until 21 when she decided to move to Korea for her career. Lena is a truly talented artist, in some ways better than Mariah Carey, although not in some other ways. Still I think they are incomparable. They are both unique. And unique singers shouldn't sing like others.
i'm korean i know she's a us citizen and fluent in english but she has terribly vowels when singing english songs. i wouldnt call it an accent it's just poor vowel production. but of course because she's asian people assume it's an accent. but either way the way she sings the lyrics sounds different from the average american artist.
Wow... she's got a really touching and unusual voice... I love her version of this song! Since I'm German and don't know her I've gotta ask: Is she a big star in Korea or is this some kind of a talent show or something?
@mohnmarzipan1 She's not that famous but very talented and kinda famous star. She's not an idol or anything but many people love her, and I too think she's one of the greatest vocalist in Korea.
@mohnmarzipan1 well I wouldn't say she's a BIG star, because not many people are familiar with her singing. She is indeed a very talented singer, but she just doesn't get enough attention from the public for her talent. And this isn't a talent show much; it's rather like a program where celebrities appear and sing and talk (but not just singers appear; actors, etc too)^^
her voice is too ....um...how to put it....THIN...her voice is too thin....if u listen to mariah's voice...its just so full...lol i dont know the corrrect terminology but thats how lena's voice sounds...thin ..lol
@zoozak I noticed that too... sometimes it seems she has a strange accent while talking in english.
What is sure is that she has improved korean a lot, and that she still has a quite strong accent. She appeared around a week ago in Yu Huiyeol's Sketchbook, and it was kindda funny listening her talking korean.
Anyway all that matters (to me) is her effort to learn korean, and the amazing voice she has. Dont care what people say cuz the only thing they like is gossip
@hyperteenage but that's not an opinion XD the FACT is, she's a US citizen fluent in English without an accent. For whatever reason you're hearing an accent is on your own accord. I think what you meant is "In my opinion I hear a Korean accent" but by stating she has a Korean accent you're claiming a fact which happens to be false.
it is different... you know... I was used to Mariah´s version... but she has a sweet voice for sure... I wonder what a Spanish song would be from her.... uuuu!!!
is there anyone who understands how higher is her song than the original one??? i think it is 4 semikeys (2 keys) more than the original... don't you??? i need to know it 'cause i have to sing it for a casting. thank you!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow

We are not taking a writing test or a spelling bee here, but we are sharing videos and our thoughts! Everyone makes mistakes, and I think you shouldn't be so sarcastic about it.
You are the one who has to know what a joke is. I don't think you made a joke, but you just humiliated that poor guy.
and now you're trying to justify yourself saying that I have no sense of humor.
If you were really joking, you could have said "Oh, I was just joking' instead of pointing out 'THE same class'. you are the one who has made it NOT funny.
Well, you think you're a pretty funny guy, but I don't think you are. Your jokes didn't seem like jokes, and they were not even funny. If you thought you were funny, than I have no more thing to say.=b
you didnt think they were funny because you have no sense of humor, weve already gone over this...do you suffer from down syndrome and need things told to you multiple times before you understand?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You know what? I asked several people around, and no one thought you were funny. Either your jokes really suck, or you were just being sarcastic and trying to justify yourself being like a jerk. And saying that I suffer with DS is so arrogant, ignorant and childish. If you really did intend to make a joke, you should have thought that someone could take it seriosly. keep this in mind and try to make a better one. the poor guy could have been hurt or felt humilated, and this is why I'm upset.
im sure you asked other people lol and the thing you need to know about me is i am a jerk lol and your upset because your a loser and take what people say on the internet WAY to seriously like wow lol
Yea, I really did ask others=)You thought you were a jerk? oh, I thought Your jokes were hilarious as hell, and you were so damn cool. lol You feel good to hear what you've wanted to hear? I'm out of this conversation, it's ridiculous.

That was great. Ignore the other stupid comments about English. Thanks for posting this. This is one of my favorite songs and your voice is beautiful.
Jalena X, for your information, she grew up in California. Yes, which means she's fluent in English. If this sounds like she has to work on her English, I think you should get your hearing checked. She's expressing the words in her own way, emphasizing them in her own unique way. Unlike you, she knows what she's doing with the song.
Why did you even watch this if you hate "yellow" people so much?
And just so you know, she was born in the states.
Dessutom, putte, ppl? om du nu är så lat att du inte ens klarar av att skriva hela ordet så borde du kanske inte klaga på andra människors språkbruk. Dessutom så säger man "learn HOW to speak English". Idiot.
It's guys like you that give arsehole licking, pointless waste of oxygen, pathetic excuse for a human being, dog fucking, retarded racist shitheads...a bad name.
I think she has a pretty voice in a Minnie Riperton sort of /free style / jazzy way. Her voice is very different than Mariah Carey's - can't compare apples and oranges - they're both good!
Search "Dance with me - Chemistry and Lena Park" if you want to hear some of her high notes - she does have range.
japanphil, shut up goddamm dude, of course she cant pronounce some of the words english aint her first language, your simon cowell with pmt, now you shut up shes ok doosh bag!!
Ummm...japanphil you are right, you are free to say whatever *BUT* why are you back here again if you can't stand her voice? Get a life already! Just my two cents...lolz
ew! bulag ka cguro... im not flaming anyone, im just stating the truth... pa-critic kuno mga pinoy, gusto my makita negative sa lahat ng bagay, kung maganda ka hahanapan ka ng pangit, kung magaling ka kumanta hahanapan ka ng d mo kayang kantahin, ah basta sobrang dami... mas madami neg keysa positive, nahihirapan tyo tuloy umasenso.
pretty awesome ^^, she actually sounded pretty awesome when she sings live. well, it's not live for people watching this video but she sounds amazing even not in a recording room, her real voice, best i've heard
I just most say this.. (and now I have no idea how her care <-- sorry bad spelling.. started) I wonder if she were this litle lump of coal that turned into a diamond when she started to sing. She is pretty,a great voice, and she is among those that you can both look and just listen to, when she sings. Two thumbs up for this girl! XD

Noun: A distinctive mode of pronunciation of a language, esp. one associated with a particular nation, locality, or social class.
So you understand why this is not disrespectful, just an observation.

She's expressing the words in her own way, emphasizing them in her own unique way. Unlike you, she knows what she's doing with the song.

You racist...you!
Why did you even watch this if you hate "yellow" people so much?
And just so you know, she was born in the states.
Dessutom, putte, ppl? om du nu är så lat att du inte ens klarar av att skriva hela ordet så borde du kanske inte klaga på andra människors språkbruk. Dessutom så säger man "learn HOW to speak English". Idiot.

I think she has a pretty voice in a Minnie Riperton sort of /free style / jazzy way. Her voice is very different than Mariah Carey's - can't compare apples and oranges - they're both good!
Search "Dance with me - Chemistry and Lena Park" if you want to hear some of her high notes - she does have range.

Ms Carey freaks me out. For me, better no comparisons with her, thanks ;)

an indirect personal insult can't be appreciated with the argument 'i'm free to say it'.
Especially if you want to take part in our morality/ethnicality-based society.
But I assume that is to much for you to understand.

I just most say this.. (and now I have no idea how her care <-- sorry bad spelling.. started) I wonder if she were this litle lump of coal that turned into a diamond when she started to sing. She is pretty,a great voice, and she is among those that you can both look and just listen to, when she sings. Two thumbs up for this girl! XD
