To be fair singing in a language is completely different from speaking it. Since you don't need to understand anything when singing and can just go off memorizing and mimicking the sounds. That aside she can indeed speak English so she was still lying regardless
She said she’s been singing this song since middle school. Her English teacher had her sing it. But yeah she has been practicing English songs recently.
Tbh she isn't haha, but her vocal training means her pronunciation is pretty dang good. Same reason Gura sings Japanese well, though she isn't formally trained
It’s actually pretty common in music. The melody does a lot of work to mask the weirdness of accents. Once people have some familiarity with a language they are still self-conscious of pronunciation and word choice. When it comes to a song the words are already set and you are more focused on the melody than pronunciation because there a lot of ways that words are sung that don’t really make any sense for speaking them. “I want it that way” in the song technically becomes something like “I~ wan~ tit tha~ dway.” One of the things that was fun here is that Suisei pronounces the R in “fire” with her tongue farther back in her mouth than the song requires. Ironically what the song uses is closer to the Japanese R-sound which is more in the middle of the mouth. It’s also technically not incorrect to pronounce it in the song as “fai-ya” which would go well with how she sing “desire” as “dee-zai-ya”
I mean I could sing a number of Japanese songs pretty well before ever studying the language, and I’m far from the only one. I’d imagine most people here can say the same. I’m no expert, but I imagine having to pay so much attention to pitch and rhythm to replicate a song properly makes it easier to mimic convincingly than casual speech. It doesn’t require any familiarity with the language the way speaking properly does.
The phonetics of Spanish and Japanese are almost the same so yeah when they both get to a certain level of English the accent sound close with each other
I’d say she sounds better. She’s ever slightly off key on some notes, particularly the low ones, but she’s got infinitely more heart in her voice and you just can hear it. Plus she’s got excellent control over vibrato, something I feel many pop stars either lack or depend far too much on.
Lynndissimo Holy shit you’re right about the vibrato control. I also think she sang this a bit out of her comfortable range, and if she sang a version that was transposed up a notch, most if not all of the pitch inconsistencies would go away. Not that I’m complaining, low timbre Suisei sounds amazing.
@@icst4786 yeah she's actually one of the most skilled in hololive, im surprised about that. Maybe just a little bit more of training (probably her mixed voice) and she would be god class singer i swear!
rewatching some gura singing songs and someoen referenced sui as the best singer and.....idk, its REALLY hard to say who is better, they both have their strengths.
@@sockmonkey3393 easily Suisei and Kanata. Gura is very limited imo especially compared to these two who have a hilariously wide range. Same with Towa imo, limited to lower frequency songs but just like Gura, she is exceptional in her field but unlike Sui and Kanata cant probe the entire spectrum
I can't get over the fact that she's so extremely good at karaoke. Most hololive girls are really decent and only make really minor mistakes at karaoke only perfectly controlling their voices while on studio where they can do it more easily (like Towa that ascends from Angel to Goddess on studio). But SUISEI!!! She's so freaking good even on Karaoke, I feel like she's the closest there is to a professional singer on hololive ngl. I don't know much about AZKI though... But I'm not talking about Idol level of singing, but professional level of singing. Not being disrespectful or anything, because Idols have to do a lot more than being good at singing, but I feel like they can get there without being insane at singing.
She's amazing and I think the description you're trying to say is that Suisei knows the technicality of singing. You can tell she actually took lessons in music and well experienced. Of course we don't want to compare the members, but I also say the same for Aki. XD
At first, when Suichan was warming up her voice I thought "Oh cool, she can make a pretty low voice" Then when she started singing... man... literal chills down my back. Suichan's low singing voice is amazing.
I was at a loss for words when she sang this song so well, to think that she kept on saying she was bad with English and she can't speak as much. STILL, she pulled it off and was almost at a natural level in speaking English herself. Sui-chan is really impressive in her own ways, more than one. It was only over a week or so when Sui-chan said she was interested to sing Western songs....
Yeah You are my fire The one desire Believe when I say I want it that way But we are two worlds apart Can't reach to your heart When you say That I want it that way Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a heartache Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a mistake Tell me why I never wanna hear you say I want it that way Am I your fire? Your one desire Yes I know it's too late But I want it that way Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a heartache Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a mistake Tell me why I never wanna hear you say I want it that way Now I can see that we've fallen apart From the way that it used to be, yeah No matter the distance I want you to know That deep down inside of me You are my fire The one desire You are (You are, you are, you are) Don't wanna hear you say Ain't nothin' but a heartache Ain't nothin' but a mistake (Don't wanna hear you say) I never wanna hear you say (Oh, yeah) I want it that way Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a heartache Tell me why Ain't nothing but a mistake Tell me why I never want to hear you say (Never wanna hear you say) I want it that way Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a heartache Ain't nothin' but a mistake Tell me why I never want to hear you say (Don't want to hear you say) I want it that way 'Cause I want it that way
I cannot express how angry I am that I just found this cover. Suisei brought my favorite early 2000's boyband song to such another level that it infuriates me. This was unrealistically good.
For someone "not very good" at English, she sang that near perfectly. Her accent got in the way for some words, but it was still incredibly good and she didn't actually get any of the words wrong. As for her singing in general on this one, I'm not sure I could be surprised, this is Suisei we're talking about, one of the best singers in the entire group, all branches included.
At first i was like "oh wow she is really good" then i reached mimute 2:13 and i was like "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST SHE IS INCREDIBLE" Like, really I DID NOT EXPECTED those incredible high notes
"It was her, Sui-chan killed my brother"
"Oh wow I forgot about that part"
"Dude said that she was a shotacon"
NINE-NINE !!
Lol, so you also got that in recommendation, I see.
One of us, ONE OF US!
I heard her part in the vid and wanted the full ver
Context please?
Suisei: I don't speak english!
She lied as naturally as she breathed.
To be fair singing in a language is completely different from speaking it. Since you don't need to understand anything when singing and can just go off memorizing and mimicking the sounds.
That aside she can indeed speak English so she was still lying regardless
if I'm not mistaken, Suisei once said her mother was an English translator
Gawr gura for example , she can't speak japanese but singing japanese song so good!
@@RaikJanuar her mom wanted to be a translator, her mom is NOT a translator, but she's at least fluent
@@atackplus-rediconnt8189 wait what, isn't her mom a translator in the embassy??
She probably practiced her english off stream, it's very good
Yeah for sure. At least practiced the words used in this song. She's really incredible singer
The props of having a mother that can somewhat speak English and an Engish roomate
I wonder if her mother taught her, wasn't she an aspiring translator before?
She said she’s been singing this song since middle school. Her English teacher had her sing it. But yeah she has been practicing English songs recently.
It's just like Gura's japanese pronunciation is very good when she sings even though she doesn't speak japanese.
I'll quote that one dude from Brooklyn Nine-Nine: "Chills, literal chills"
It was number 5. Number 5 ran over my brother.
oh my god I forgot about that part
It was Detective Peralta, but I also agree, " wooh! chills literal chills"
@@heartbeat4atinman I thought it was killed?
@@shark-wf2uj Was just making a reference to Suisei's driving habits in GTA V
“I’m not very good at English”
So that was a fucking lie
i liked it better than original english, her accent is soooo cute
Tbh she isn't haha, but her vocal training means her pronunciation is pretty dang good. Same reason Gura sings Japanese well, though she isn't formally trained
Pronouncing and speaking English in general aren't the same
I think she is using the same technique gura uses to sing japanese songs even though she isn’t fluent in japanese.
@@constabrielbell4523 it isn't a technique lol if you know Gura's previous identify, it's her job, tongue twisters and voicing acting in general
It was Suisei, she killed my brother !!!!
Nice reference
Context?
@@warkmesley4114 th-cam.com/video/J0rOtZ8-WX8/w-d-xo.html

"Sorry, I'm not gonna touch that. I once saw her kill five person by herself with a fucking pencil in the snow. A Fucking Pencil!"
Suisei’s mom: “I can’t believe you messed up the word ache, unacceptable”
Lmao.

Pain peko
As a BSB fan since childhood, I'd definitely be disappointed of my son if he messed up my anthem lmao
@@I._.Iy0 lacks the sandals and broomsticks
I swear man, everytime people doesn't fluent in a language, and then they try to sing a song with that language and suddenly they sounds fluent.
Suisei and Gura in a nutshell lmao
Well when singing the brain unconciously get rid of accent thats why britiah singers sing there no accent
It’s not hard to replicate what you hear tbh.

2:19 It's like she wanted to stun that guy commenting "cringe" at 2:18
My jaw dropped. Just amazing.
It's annoying when kids comment "cringe" on these streams just to be edgelords.. without knowing that they are the one who are being cringy. Lmao
@@kiosy8 cringe lmao u suck 1v1 me bro ur trash at frotnitie
It’s a joke chill pls
I guarantee you she has no idea what most of those English comments say.
@@Karma-pq9fi yea but if people spams it a lot, she'll learn and it'll hurt yk
She sounds like she's singing with a spanish accent and honestly, I like it.
The phonetics of Spanish and Japanese are almost the same so yeah when they both get to a certain level of English the accent sound close with each other
@@AntiqueKnife. can confirm
@@AntiqueKnife. What about Italian?
I was thinking on a country accent
@@rafaelsantiago5399 Country was my first thought as well.

Watson sang
They are gen z
Watson
Kiara
Pekora (but the chorus)
Coco
Amelia sang this
Guras voice fits this
Also Calli
*"not very good at English"
Sings with a great pronunciation
kinda like Gura
well shes copying sounds...which is not that hard.....but im pretty sure she meant forming sentences
Tbf, pronouncing and speaking a language is different
I can sing a full anime opening. That doesn’t mean I’m good at Japanese
@@Empyrean_Enigma tbh, we all have potentials to learn a language but singing is easier because your just copying/memorizing the lyrics
Suisei: "I'm not very good at English"
Everyone: Why you always lying~
Having never heard Sui-chan sing before, I was honestly blown away by her voice AND English pronunciation.
Same 😭❤️
I prefer this more than some of her covers
I've been smiling for a hours after hearing it now
rewatching some gura singing songs and someoen referenced sui as the best singer and.....idk, its REALLY hard to say who is better, they both have their strengths.
@@sockmonkey3393 easily Suisei and Kanata. Gura is very limited imo especially compared to these two who have a hilariously wide range. Same with Towa imo, limited to lower frequency songs but just like Gura, she is exceptional in her field but unlike Sui and Kanata cant probe the entire spectrum
2:59 it’s so beautiful I’m gonna cry 😭
"it was her, number 5 killed u/mcvaca"
"Oh wow, i forgot about that part"
Da na da da na, da na da na da da na
Me: oh it's backstreet boys?
Inner me: *now number five*
Me: Chills, literal chills
Yagoo: Well Hololive is supposed to be an idol group
Me: *oh my god I forgot about that*
😂
😆 That reference---the comedy skit
Lui, in another stream: "Idol? I'm a comedian!"
“I want it that way” transcends language barriers and beyond
2:38 this tiny pitch bend right here for example shows how much detail she's put into this performance, its beautiful
I can't get over the fact that she's so extremely good at karaoke. Most hololive girls are really decent and only make really minor mistakes at karaoke only perfectly controlling their voices while on studio where they can do it more easily (like Towa that ascends from Angel to Goddess on studio). But SUISEI!!! She's so freaking good even on Karaoke, I feel like she's the closest there is to a professional singer on hololive ngl. I don't know much about AZKI though...

for me the best 5 holomember at karaoke is suisei,kanata,gura,marine,and risu.....im not including Sora and AZKI because its not fair
ah watame too
Suisei is a woman of focus, commitment, and sheer will.
I mean Suisei cheats at karaoke she used to go solo karaoke for like 8 hours at a time to train for events during her indie career
"I'm not very good at English"
Me: oh my god, i forgot about that part...
Even the federal bureau of investigation is simping

(Later)

inb4 only while singing
2:19 Goddamn those high notes! I hoped Suisei sing more English song in the future.
1:13 everyone sleeping on her "yes i know"
The whole stream was gold. How does Suisei impress me every single time?!
Because
She's fuckin cute
Gura: doesn't speak japanese, sings japanese songs
Suisei: doesn't speak english, sings english songs
*Understandable, have a great day*
We await the Getcha cover where Gura is Giga and Suisei is Kira

same
It was number 5, number 5 killed my brother

She still bad in English conversations so most likely she specifically learned the lyrics pronunciation.

GODDAMN SUISEI! Didn’t see that clean AF note coming! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love the way she says “fire” it’s adorable lmao
Suisei's english singing reminds me a lot of Gura's Japanese singing; basically nails it, has no idea what she just said
Her singing this and Let It Go had me vibing and singing along ngl XD
