Kahimi

This might be stretching it a little, because Kahimi Karie isn't French. Belgian or related to any other French speaking country. In fact it's a pretty certain bet that her French is even worse than mine. Still, she's a Japanese superstar and adored around the world (she sang a duet with Patrick Bruel, on his Entre-deux album). To quote a review from Amazon: "OK, so Kahimi's vocals are breathy, underpowered, lacking in range and stylization, and so ethereal they are oftimes buried in the mix; her attempts at enunciating English words are feeble and scatter-shot, to say nothing of her French (in which she sings a couple songs)... but none of that really matters, because, all totaled, the way she-of-the-funky-green-hair sings is utterly sexy, disarming and relentlessly charming, possibly because of all its shortcomings."
'Utterly sexy, disarming and relentlessly charming'. Could be the motto for all the music on this blog. Hear Kahimi sing Serge's En Melody. Sidenote: later on, I'll post a quite similar "I have no idea what I'm singing"-coverversion of Je t'aime moi non plus by Cibo Matto.
