english is his third language, so don't blame him..:D but at least he could communicate.

[fredysoe]

jackyy, is the voice of asian ever had

greatest singer I've ever seen...

The best of the best

Your voices make me fly....

[AuspiciousNight]

Jacky's english is actually really good for someone who hasn't been formally educated in the english language. I think he's just stuttering because he was nervous.

[Spookykind]

I enjoy his acting as the Character ''Autumn Leaf'' in A Chinese Ghost Story II .. and ''Yin'' in the third chapter...

Given his education background, I'm amazed by his command of the English Language. His English communication skills are better than many university graduates these days.

Bravo, Jacky!

Yes jackys english is terrific for a guy whos never been educated formally in the lanaguage.

Its better than i expected. Why do people have such high requirements for foreigners to speak english like they were born and eductaed in england or something? its ridiculous

[kingfbi]

@myacnt8999

His english is far better than i expected. Its quite decent. I dont know why people criticise his english. I mean, do they really expect him to speak 100% english like he was raised abroad? People should stop being so arrogant.

[noxia4]

I love how he said "my daddy..." XD

Tony Leung speaks much better English than Jacky. He hasn't been educated abroad either.

I like Jacky and his cute accent. But don't talk down about others please.

[hwong0309]

You are right! No one in Asia is in a position to question the spoken English of Jacky. He never had any formal college education nor has he studied in the West. He is one of the best communicators in English language among the "locally educated" HK artists. In fact, I find his accent and diction very good already...so spontaneous! Listen to how "local" artists from South East Asia speak in English (not the fluency but diction, accent & pronunciation).

You guys need to look beyond Jacky's accent, beyond the superficial, and realize that this man is "God".
