Singing in another language

Besides Avril Lavigne recorded her new song “Girlfriend” inEnglish, the Canadian pop star recorded in French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Mandarin. Avril said Mandarin was the hardest for her.

   
“The hardest one was actually Mandarin. Japanese was easy, sort of. French was easy, but German was difficult,”

“But it was cool … because I have so many fans worldwide that speak all these languages.”

 I have often wondered why many times people who sing in another language have so little accent if any when they are singing but when you here them speak they have a very strong accent.
