Its like people that stutter can sing without that problem...(

Same goes for singing languages. My daughter, a classically trained soprano, can sing in6-10 different languages, but she can't speak a one of them. If you are a fan of the Scottish singer, Susan Boyle, who was such a smash hit when she came close to winning Britain's ot Talent, listen to her debut album closely. You will hear her sing in perfect English, although she speaks with a heavy brogue normally. Not only that, her diction when singing mimics the singer who originally introduced the song whether it be Madonna, Julie London, or someone else. It's uncanny. For those unfamiliar with Susan Boyle's history, she was oxygen deprived at birth. She has an amazing talent.

Definitely true. I understand relatively little Japanese, but I’ve picked up a very good ear for it from music and can sing in it with an accent I’ve been told is quite acceptable.

I am not familiar; is she a little "slow" then?

I read in The Sun how folks mock her and make fun, maybe that explains it.

I had a neighbor who played piano by ear....hear it once and she could sit down and play any song. She said her mother tried to get her lessons as a kid but she was impossible to teach, too boring for her when she could play any song once she heard it....it just boggles my mind to how people can do such interesting things..
