That’s only for specific words. No one knows the exact rules anymore
because they’ve been changed so many times recently, but “Scheiße” is
definitely still spelt “Scheiße”.

I was always taught that the “sharf s” (I don’t have the right character on my keyboard) could be substituted by “ss” but that “ss” could not always be substituted by the “sharf s” — mostly because the latter could be where two words are put together to form a compound word.
That is not true. If a “Strasse” is part of the street name, it can be spelled with double s. ß is substituted with sz or ss, depending on the case.
A schoolmate’s surname was Meißel, so if her name was writen in capital letters it was spelled MEISZEL.
Whatever IDIOT started this “FIRST” nonsense deserves a major beating. Who gives a flying F*CK if you were the first one to post? If you are the first one to post, don’t you have the brainpower to come up with more than just “FIRST” and that’s it? Do you surf blog sites in search of “yet to be commented on” posts, so you can satisfy your unfulfilled sexual gratification by announcing yourself as “first”. How about a comment on the freaking post itself moron. Or how about not. Why don’t you go jack off in a corner instead.
I think it is because on lol cats being first is a good thing. Go read the posts on there they usually congratulate you for it. Not that I am saying that it is any less stupid.

It is a fail indeed. But I’m sure there was another huge fail in the last week… What was it… Umm that’s right. Wii Fail.
In any case; I’d feel horrid after doing something like that… mis-singing a song and showing my stupidity on national TV. Egad, what was she thinking??
There actually is in interview with her on YT, where she is very satisfied with her presentation and handles the English part with a shrug, saying she learnt the song by listening to it over and over.

My bus system runs on Microsoft Windows XP. I was on the bus one day and it was rebooting Windows! We even hear the logging in jingle. And all the stop announcements were late because of the system rebooting. If ONLY I had my camera I could have captured a pic of Windows XP booting up on the bus driver’s display! T_T
Maybe you’ll make burn of the week somehow. Tell you what, I’ll help you. I’ll say something like, oh, “my penis is large”, and you can come up with a clever burn to get on the burn of the week. Sound cool?
“That’s what she said…” no that wasn’t what I wanted to say.
Um, how about “Yeah, and you use it on my mom.” Darn, this burn thing is hard… like your enormous… nevermind.
I’m afraid it’s true. The complete murder of an otherwise beautiful song made her nigh world famous. /facepalm I have never been so ashamed to be a Bulgarian.

Chambers school super-mini dictionary (couldn’t find an online dictionary that worked and this is the first book-form ditionary i found):
belly noun (pl belies) 1 the abdomen 2 the underpart of an animals body 3 the bulging part of anything, verb to swell or bulge out
belly button noun informal the navel
belly dance noun a sensuous dance performed by women with circling movements of the stomach and hips
belly flop noun an inexpert dive landing face down on the water
I’m guilty of this, just making sounds of another language because I like the music and the translation. But for heaven’s sake, if you’re going to compete look up the lyrics!
Pretty sure this is Ukranian. When asked if she meant “Without You” rather than “Ken Lee,” the singer (and I use that term in the loosest possible sense) replied “Nee” rather than “Nyet.” I grew up a couple doors down from a Ukranian family and one of their kids taught me that “Tahk” and “Nee” were “Yes” and “No” in Ukranian (as distinguished from “da” and “nyet”).
Funniest damn Engrish I ever read. Does anyone realized that Harry Neilson performed this song (written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans for Badfinger) long before Mariah was even born?
Oy – do you come on these sites to make up for your low self-esteem by being an ignorant generalizer and America basher? Speak to your therapist/hooker/crack-dealer for alternative remedies, that’s my advice to you.
(I’m not an American, in case anyone is wondering).
Well last week when I went to Florida, a girl said “No mom, thats not a manatee, its just a small whale.” whilst stood next to a sign that said manatee… I don’t assume it applies to most Americans, but nuff said.
God, where do they even find those people? I think they must have you take a test before they let you on the show just to make sure you’re not actually smarter than a 5th grader.
*Well, last week when I went to Florida, a girl said “No, mom, that’s not a manatee, it’s just a small whale” while standing next to a sign that read “manatee”. I don’t assume this example of poor thinking applies to most Americans, so enough said.*
You’re grammar check brought to you by an American.
you no no-one actually belives any of that anti-american stuff they just say it because you get wound up so easily as most of the commenters above have just displayed
oh and “you’ve got a small pennis” does not constitute as a witty come-back – can you yanks think of nothing more original? in addition people who say this are surly covering up the fact that their penises are actualy so small you would need an electron microscope to find them
Chocolate? Boston creame pie doughnut filling? Milk moustache? Cheese from a philly cheese steak? Whipped creame from a Sundae? Chile Sauce?
Oh please be something food related, and not another innuendo (sp?)!
Bulgarian (“Bulgarian Music Idol” // “American Idol”).
(I have a Bulgarian friend who showed this to me last year; the singer was brought back, a la Hung Lee to reprise the song later in the show’s season. She was a great sport about it, and everybody loved it.)

This is probably the funniest thing I’ve seen (heard) in a while. By the way, does anyone remember that Harry Nilsson wrote the song and had the original hit? Or am I just showing my age? (Mirah Carey – bleh!!)
I’m embarrassed to say that I remembered the Air Supply version first. The really sad thing is that even the Air Supply version is infinitely better than the Mariah Carey version.
I have never understood why anybody ever wanted to hear anything that came out of her mouth. Ever.
I didn’t know Air Supply covered it. My only complaint about them is the lead singer always “sings” any final “R’s” in a phrase. Musically speaking, “R” is an annoying sound to sustain. The only consonants that can be “sung” are “M” and “N” .
Mariah Carey should have duct tape put over her mouth and put us all out of our misery. (IMHO)
Hee hee – I loved Harry Nilsson! My first Nilsson album was “A Little Touch of Schmillson in the Night” where he covered a lot of old classics like “As Time Goes By” and “Always” – a lot of fun! (Again, IMHO)
rofl, I totally thought that judge stuck the pencil up her nose. But I suppose the song was pretty bad… not sure bad enough to poke your brain out via your nose though…
This video has an unintentional Easter egg for Russian viewers. The long-haired guy on the jury is the Bulgarian-Russian pop singer Filipp Kirkorov, who had his own great fail moment captured on video, when he lashed out on a journalist at a press conference, saying “I’m annoyed by your pink blouse, your tits and your microphone”. He then started swearing and had her thrown out of the room. There was a massive outcry in Russia and he basically killed his reputation.

Youtube has tons of videos like this. There are versions of this tv show in a lot of countries that don’t speak english, and than you can imagine. Search for “idolos” on youtube and you see similar “idols” we have here in Brazil (lol). Some of them can’t even sing in Portuguese (yes, we don’t speak spanish, eventhough we are in South America)… have fun!
She makes me ashamed to be Bulgarian. Sad part? She has a career back in BG..I saw her when I went back. She actually doesn’t sing too bad in Bulgarian, but English? Different story.
It reminds me of a SNL skit from when I was a kid. Eddie Murphy’s character, Buh Weet would sing songs like Wookin Pa Nub and Unce Tice Fee Tines a Mady.
I’m from Bulgaria and that “English” wasn’t a fail… It was a win…
She just speaks it SO GOOD, that none of us poor bastards understand anything.
Ken leeeeeeeeeeee… Too lee boo dee boo douchooooooooooo…
YESSSSSSS KEN LEE MADE IT ON FAILBLOG!!! I should be very happy because I’m Bulgarian but, actually I don’t know what to feel since, on the other hand, I’m kinda embarrassed lol!

Brain fail.
Holy shaiza fail….
my penis is very huge
nice ome!
Is “ome” spanish for penis?
“ome” means “mom”
- my penis is very huge
- nice mom!
Dude…
Did he just call your Mom a Dude?

You look at the keyboard while you type? That’s a fail in itself.

oh nice, me too! how many inches do you have? mine nearly is 5.5″.

allmost 4. but my mom said im special
really you guys? grow up.
i think they are amusing >.<
boys are funny.
especially because my penis is WAAAAAYYYYYYY bigger than either of theirs!!
Your mom told me the same thing.
hehe. how come?
hey, I’m goin on a date tonight, can i borrow it
Sheisse. The word is sheisse.
German fail. The word is Scheiße.
German Fail.
They actually dropped the ß in recent years. Opting for the Double ‘S’ instead
That’s only for specific words. No one knows the exact rules anymore
because they’ve been changed so many times recently, but “Scheiße” is
definitely still spelt “Scheiße”.
you can write ss or that B that I don’t have on my keyboard. You can choose!!! OMG!
No we did not. That was Switzerland I think. They don’t have the ß on their keyboards.
must still be a β model
Only in certain cases. No one knows the exact rules anymore because they’ve been changed so many times recently, but “Scheiße” is definitely still spelt “Scheiße”.
Of course “Scheiße” is spelt “Scheiße”, but maybe “Scheisse” isn’t?
(Yes, I know it’s the same word.)
German fail. English please.
Fail, they still use the “ß”. If you don’t belive it, read the Duden.
I was always taught that the “sharf s” (I don’t have the right character on my keyboard) could be substituted by “ss” but that “ss” could not always be substituted by the “sharf s” — mostly because the latter could be where two words are put together to form a compound word.
Or you could swear in English and save us all the trouble of having to correct you!
yeah that’s right or to my knowledge it is.
copy&paste?
thats incorrect
some words are simply writen with ß and some with ss
Street is spelled straße and strasse is wrong
That is not true. If a “Strasse” is part of the street name, it can be spelled with double s. ß is substituted with sz or ss, depending on the case.
A schoolmate’s surname was Meißel, so if her name was writen in capital letters it was spelled MEISZEL.

Ya gotta admit it’s a lot funnier than “first!”
FIRST!!!
*jacking off in a corner* “But Frank told me to do it!”
Well, as long as Frank said it was ok…
Lighten up, Francis.
THIRTYSIXTH!!!
And yet, even with this plea, someone will always say “first”… Even if they are nowhere near actually being first.
First!
First!
why?
Why not?
You are THE reason for people claiming first comments. If there ever was a chance of “First”-ers becoming extinct, you just blew it.
at least he blew it—–>>>FIRST!
AGREED!!
I think it is because on lol cats being first is a good thing. Go read the posts on there they usually congratulate you for it. Not that I am saying that it is any less stupid.
only if you post something of actual substance first. If you just post FIRST they yell at you for it. In broken English.
Why not be the first to jack off in a corner? That would make everyone happy!
FIST!
wait, no…
I lol’d
WIN.
chill fail
First to agree.
lol.
How’s he supposed to jack off without the satisfaction of stating first? Think about it!
Whoever it was started it back in 1993. Some people just can’t seem to move on to new jokes.
the first webpage ever created simply contained the text “first”. first is the first internet meme.
Internet History Fail.
THE INTERNET IS NOT THE WEB. The web is an application of the Internet. Before the web, there was e-mail, Gopher, Usenet, FTP, Archie (to find files you could FTP), et. al.
You go, Frank!
To the corner, Frank!
Frank, what if we are in a round room?
You take things waaaay too seriously
aaww.. he’s just mad at him because he was second…
HE!
Unbelievable.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sheer Ownage.
I say this interpretation is, indeed, better than the original.
So that makes this…
… a win.
I don’t know, this is the biggest fail I’ve seen on Failblog in a while. I mean, wow! Holy fail!
It is a fail indeed. But I’m sure there was another huge fail in the last week… What was it… Umm that’s right. Wii Fail.
In any case; I’d feel horrid after doing something like that… mis-singing a song and showing my stupidity on national TV. Egad, what was she thinking??
I know what she was thinking…First!!!
Yeah right. First to be a total moron on this show!
Oh wait..
There actually is in interview with her on YT, where she is very satisfied with her presentation and handles the English part with a shrug, saying she learnt the song by listening to it over and over.
OMG! King Arthur has been looking for this all his life! The Holy Fail!
> I say this interpretation is, indeed, better than the original.
No freaking way. The original by Harry Nilsson is great.
I can’t get her version out of my head! They should release it to the radio stations.
Bulgarian.
Funniest thing ever
Not even lying… I was going to submit this.

Too true. But I fail to fail to get on the failblog. T_T
Really?!? I swore that was you a while back with the shopping cart and the motorcycle.. hmm I must be mistaken.

No, it might make me bloat.

No, it is only oat

I won’t quote what you wrote, myself I will promote, for Me, please now vote, if you’re bloat you will float, now pass the remote!
and I guess I’ll eat an orange.

Dick-o Inferno
Amazing. Best fail ever.
Not really a fail. She became a superstar in the whole region because of this very fail and is earning some very un-fail money.
William Hung did the same thing, but I’d still say he fails on a regular basis.
If only because his last name is “Hung”.
Hung makes him a win!
Hi there, its Will i am hung..
Hi there, I’m good hung willing.
Big Will Hung fan? Why does everyone ask me that!?
Office reference WIN
Is that true? She’s famous now for failing? That means the un-fail money is going towards a fail, which is a fail unto itself.
My head hurts after I read that.
Maybe to the failer, but not to the failee.
I’m afraid it’s true. The complete murder of an otherwise beautiful song made her nigh world famous. /facepalm I have never been so ashamed to be a Bulgarian.

In Soviet Russia, people sometimes have difficulty pronouncing English words and names.
oh, no shit, Sherlock!

Which Russia? Imperial Russia, Soviet Russia, or Russian Federation?

Wow. That will be in my brain until the day I die…”Ken Leeeee!” LOL!
Does ken lee know about this? He’s been immortalized in song.
yes, i am well aware of it now, thankyouvermuch
Why was she singing about me? I’ve never met her before in my life.
But did you meet her in your bed?
Yeah, did you meat her in bed?
Yeah, did your mother in bed, Trebek?

That chick doin’ all the singing is.
How do you “Meat” someone. Do you buy a steak and then smack her and beat her body with meat?
Man bits = Meat
Dunno if he has man bits
She was the one to leave you the rubber fist souvenir.

In Communist China you must lip-sync to Ken LI!
In North Korea, Kim Jong Il invented Ken Li.
No, Ken Li is a 7 year old girl that’s actually doing the singing, they have a body double to lip sync on stage

i’ve got log thats not great or greater. in fact its better than bad, its GOOD
if you get it elaborate for others
to elaborate … didn’t read
Hey! Back! Good!
wow, that was… bad?
No. Bad is from Michael Jackson I think.
You’re right!
Bad is from MJ.
And you killed my joke. ^^
Fail in peace, joke.
Have some complimentary Talons of Peace for your little joke fail
Seriously, let that poor joke live.
Oh of course it didn’t have the talent of a burn of the week, but still it was cute.
Why check my answer and weighten a soft and joyful joke ? ç_ç
There was a joke in there?
Until I pulled out.
Did you just burn yourself?
Sounds like he did….
Sometimes, you gotta take one for the team. *bends over*
Your joke was dead before you hit the “Add comment” button.
Your brain was dead before the surgeon separated the umbilical cord from your “belly” button.
Care to explain why belly is in quotes?
Chambers school super-mini dictionary (couldn’t find an online dictionary that worked and this is the first book-form ditionary i found):
belly noun (pl belies) 1 the abdomen 2 the underpart of an animals body 3 the bulging part of anything, verb to swell or bulge out
belly button noun informal the navel
belly dance noun a sensuous dance performed by women with circling movements of the stomach and hips
belly flop noun an inexpert dive landing face down on the water
I almost had the record for belly flops at a local summer camp when I was around 13 years young.
….
“Who’s bad?”
X3
THRILLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEER! THRIIIIIIIIILER!
I almost failed in my pants laughing at that one.
I’m guilty of this, just making sounds of another language because I like the music and the translation. But for heaven’s sake, if you’re going to compete look up the lyrics!
I’m guessing she can’t read English…
Yeah. Different alphabet. She probably only knows cyrillic. You see, in Soviet Russia, words pronounce you…
Pretty sure this is Ukranian. When asked if she meant “Without You” rather than “Ken Lee,” the singer (and I use that term in the loosest possible sense) replied “Nee” rather than “Nyet.” I grew up a couple doors down from a Ukranian family and one of their kids taught me that “Tahk” and “Nee” were “Yes” and “No” in Ukranian (as distinguished from “da” and “nyet”).
She’s Bulgarian.
Yes – Da
No – Ne
nu ma nu ma iei
That was NOT English!
…reallly? I could have sworn it was.
You just pointed out the obvious. Ok, it’s my turn now: You fail at every aspect of life. Thank you.
Ooh Ooh my turn!
This is called the Internet. Please don’t pollute it anymore or Al Gore will kill you and win the nobel prize.
Bah, Global Warming is fake, it’s all in your head!
I thought she was singing in Indian…
Just what the hell kind of language is “Indian”, pray tell?
the one they use in India?
Oh, you mean, Hindi Bengali Telugu Marathi Tamil Urdu Gujarati Kannada Malayalam Oriya Punjabi Assamese Nepali Maithili Bhili/Bhilodi Santali Kashmiri Gondi Sindhi Konkani Dogri Khandeshi Kurukh Tulu Meitei (Manipuri) Bodo Khasi Mundari … (and 100+ others).
language knowledge fail!
I use TV captions for the hearing impaired. Sometimes they read like they were typed by a demented chimpanzee on crack.
Which is when i switch over to lip reading – comes off about the same.
This is old…omfg
OMG. Epic Fail!
Totally
That was awesome. I want to book her for a party.
Oldie but a goodie. I sent it to my friend about 3 months ago. His name: Ken Lee.
I think you mean his name was “Without You.”
No.
Comment reply WIN!
That’s the guy:

Wow. One of the biggest fails I’ve ever seen.
Oh…my..god. That was horrible.
Funniest damn Engrish I ever read. Does anyone realized that Harry Neilson performed this song (written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans for Badfinger) long before Mariah was even born?
Really??
Harry Neilson performed this before Mariah?
Well gosh darnit.
I could have sworn that no-one gives a flying S**T.
Wow, I didn’t realize it was Badfinger. Nilsson’s version was great and I thought he wrote it.
I’d hit that judge chick over and over again, too, but, by hit, I mean punch.
still speaks better english than most americans…
Oy – do you come on these sites to make up for your low self-esteem by being an ignorant generalizer and America basher? Speak to your therapist/hooker/crack-dealer for alternative remedies, that’s my advice to you.
(I’m not an American, in case anyone is wondering).
Well last week when I went to Florida, a girl said “No mom, thats not a manatee, its just a small whale.” whilst stood next to a sign that said manatee… I don’t assume it applies to most Americans, but nuff said.
Perhaps it was a small, stupid child who couldn’t read…?
Also: Taxonomy fail.
This from the country that has a television show called “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader”
I weep for our culture.
God, where do they even find those people? I think they must have you take a test before they let you on the show just to make sure you’re not actually smarter than a 5th grader.
*Well, last week when I went to Florida, a girl said “No, mom, that’s not a manatee, it’s just a small whale” while standing next to a sign that read “manatee”. I don’t assume this example of poor thinking applies to most Americans, so enough said.*
You’re grammar check brought to you by an American.
tell me the “you’re” was intentional…
if not, priceless. haha.
“You’re grammar check brought to you by an American.”
Absolutely! >_<
You get it! *clap clap*
oh nice attempt at covering your mistake :p
That’s just tragic. Oh, the humanatee.
Hey guys check out the sea cow!
Ahh I’m a manatee.
Shut up Sea Cow!
Sounds like somebody has some pent-up anger. *hands johnnycomelately some kleenex and a beer* Do tell.
you no no-one actually belives any of that anti-american stuff they just say it because you get wound up so easily as most of the commenters above have just displayed
oh and “you’ve got a small pennis” does not constitute as a witty come-back – can you yanks think of nothing more original? in addition people who say this are surly covering up the fact that their penises are actualy so small you would need an electron microscope to find them
That was amazing!! Wow.. srsly I cannot wipe the smirk off my face.
That’s not a smirk.
I’ll give you something to wipe off your face…
Chocolate? Boston creame pie doughnut filling? Milk moustache? Cheese from a philly cheese steak? Whipped creame from a Sundae? Chile Sauce?
Oh please be something food related, and not another innuendo (sp?)!
i’ll put it inYOURendo
Russian?
In Soviet Russian, it is warm, smells like vodka, and can be a bloody mess.
Bulgarian (“Bulgarian Music Idol” // “American Idol”).
(I have a Bulgarian friend who showed this to me last year; the singer was brought back, a la Hung Lee to reprise the song later in the show’s season. She was a great sport about it, and everybody loved it.)
Mariah Carey my ass!! That’s the legendary Harry Nilsson’s song!! Respect!
Cover ID fail. It was Badfinger first, friend.
Right on! Nilsson rules!
Though (as a previous poster mentioned) the song was actually written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans.
She speaks lolcat.
All your language are belong to us. Again.
There, you can have it.
It’s a bit fuzzed out on the edges though…
Eh?
Lolspeak FTW
I bet Paula would actually understand that perfectly fine.
Paula? *doesn’t masturbate*
2 gaping orifices, 1 Paula?
Not only did she suck, she sucked in her own made-up language. Bravah!
Bravah=your own made-up language
She should try that throatsinging folk thing. Would fit nicely with her voice, plus she could make up all kinds of crazy noises.
Get on your knees and I’ll show you throatsinging.
Say “ahh” for the tuning fork!
Reverse Benny Lava Win!
Lol, too freakin true, but Bollywood is way less annoying than Mariah Carey.
IT’S NOT A TUMOR! IT’S A KEN LEE!!! (ok, bad joke, couldn’t resis…. RESIST FAIL!!)
And by “have sex with” you mean three pumps followed by a crying jag, right?

Get outta here lolcat, the comments on that page make my eyes bleed.
do you go to ICHC and post “Well you can tell the cat is only playing with some string so….. invisible boom box FAIL?”
Valid question, but nope. I scanned through one or two comment threads there once upon a time and that was enough for me. Never again.
In other news, Nom Nom Nom on vacation next five days. I’ll miss you guys. For about two minutes.

That was horrid. Who strangled the cat?
Took a long time to get there, but not bad.
That’s what my first date said.
Killerwit, we don’t care if you play ten more years or retire tomorrow, you’re a first ballot FAILBlog Posters Hall Of Famer.
Isn’t that how EVERY pub singer does it?
English class fail!!!
timeline
The fail is strong with this one
In Soviet Russia, the song sings you.
por eso no canto en ingles
can liiiiiiiiiiiiiiii can li alitol bat chu!!!!!
This is probably the funniest thing I’ve seen (heard) in a while. By the way, does anyone remember that Harry Nilsson wrote the song and had the original hit? Or am I just showing my age? (Mirah Carey – bleh!!)
I’m embarrassed to say that I remembered the Air Supply version first. The really sad thing is that even the Air Supply version is infinitely better than the Mariah Carey version.
I have never understood why anybody ever wanted to hear anything that came out of her mouth. Ever.
I didn’t know Air Supply covered it. My only complaint about them is the lead singer always “sings” any final “R’s” in a phrase. Musically speaking, “R” is an annoying sound to sustain. The only consonants that can be “sung” are “M” and “N” .
Mariah Carey should have duct tape put over her mouth and put us all out of our misery. (IMHO)
Absolutely, Karen… and bonus points for spelling Nilsson correctly. I couldn’t agree more.
Hee hee – I loved Harry Nilsson! My first Nilsson album was “A Little Touch of Schmillson in the Night” where he covered a lot of old classics like “As Time Goes By” and “Always” – a lot of fun! (Again, IMHO)
Certainly better than this version of Ken Lee! hahaha
Mariah – still bleh! (spelling fail – lol)
mismatched foundation and prom dress fail
Whoa whoa whoa whoa! So those AREN’T the lyrics? Dammit…well at least only my steering wheel has heard my shame…
God too.
I’m really curious as to what she thinks she was singing about.
Dude, I thought it was pretty obvious…She’s singing about Ken Lee! XD
Ken Lee for president!
You should meet spanish singer “El Principe Gitano” and his song “In the Ghetto”… it’s thousand of times better than this!
rofl, I totally thought that judge stuck the pencil up her nose. But I suppose the song was pretty bad… not sure bad enough to poke your brain out via your nose though…
Your past comments are that bad tho.
Nice try but I haven’t made comments on here before, so you… FAIL.
lol … this is from Music Idol, which is the bulgarian version of American idol.
i was watching the show when this happened. it was special.
and btw the stamp that comes up at the end with ‘HE’ means ‘no’.
Try American cable, only slightly better.
(It’s broadcast in (mostly) english.)
KEN LEEEEE!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT18LZItBLA
Improved her lyrics, still quite shitty
The Judges probably ken lee without ear plugs.
Judges? Judge chick! *masturbates*
*masturbates* (again)
The fetishes people have…
Quick Google search for the Lyrics and a lot of sing-training seems to be in order here
I love her song.
Durn! For some inexplicable reason, I just lost the game!
And news just in…Ken Leeeeeee takes the EPIC WIN!
Розовые сиски
er…no…being-ale-to-read-it FAIL
That’s likely Russian, an actual language.
Ignorance fail.
Also, I love how the subtitle guy for this video just makes up the words so even deaf people can see how hard this woman fails.
Ummm…Russian win?
Okay, that was pathetic.
This video has an unintentional Easter egg for Russian viewers. The long-haired guy on the jury is the Bulgarian-Russian pop singer Filipp Kirkorov, who had his own great fail moment captured on video, when he lashed out on a journalist at a press conference, saying “I’m annoyed by your pink blouse, your tits and your microphone”. He then started swearing and had her thrown out of the room. There was a massive outcry in Russia and he basically killed his reputation.
“moola” said “pink tits” in recognition.
The video (in Russian, no translation) is here. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pUdhddAddds

I have never been so ashamed to share a nationality with someone.
But we still love you — there’s no need to fall into any Black Sea of depression.
Ken Lee must really be impressive to a great magnitude.
daaaammm
i knew all the words
|the kid|
Youtube has tons of videos like this. There are versions of this tv show in a lot of countries that don’t speak english, and than you can imagine. Search for “idolos” on youtube and you see similar “idols” we have here in Brazil (lol). Some of them can’t even sing in Portuguese (yes, we don’t speak spanish, eventhough we are in South America)… have fun!
ken lee with a better english (little bit better
)) )
http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=uEbV5M59Xc8&feature=related
Ken Lee is Leeroy Jenkins’ fabled ancestor. And this song is an old ballad about him that Mariah Carey ripped off.
this song will forever be known as ‘ken lee’ by the awesome lady on failblog.
By all of us, thanks to the awesome lady on failblog
Language Recognition Fail?
I thought it needed more cowbell
She makes me ashamed to be Bulgarian. Sad part? She has a career back in BG..I saw her when I went back. She actually doesn’t sing too bad in Bulgarian, but English? Different story.
at one point she sounds like a cow mooing….
I had my entire office (60+) watching this today…
and now we cant get it out of our heads!!
I love the subtitles.
OMG…. I haven’t laughed this hard in ages! Epic failwin!!
ken lee!!!! tulibu dibu douchoo!
This fee-deo is now fee-toured on Fee-blo!
Sorry?
Fee-blo!
Do you mean Failblog?
No, Fee-blo.
What angel-age was that?
Fee-blish! (Fee-bliskij)
Wow. I speak Bulgarian. That made even less sense in Bulgarian that it did in English.
The woman most likely is Roma (more likely you know them as “Gypsies”…although that term is considered vulgar) and probably extremely uneducated.
Yes Bulgarian woman have teh hawtness.
KEN LEEEEEEEEEEEE
TULIBU DIBU DOUCHOOOOOOO
Does anyone think she ever practiced in front of people?? She should have looked up the lyrics (and song) on the internet.
It reminds me of a SNL skit from when I was a kid. Eddie Murphy’s character, Buh Weet would sing songs like Wookin Pa Nub and Unce Tice Fee Tines a Mady.
EPIC mo’foin FAIL She was lyk saying random shit and was iyk thats einglish
Jet leee ooo Yeahhhh!
Is Ken Lee aware the woman speaking in tongues is looking for him?
Stumble fail
I’m from Bulgaria and that “English” wasn’t a fail… It was a win…
She just speaks it SO GOOD, that none of us poor bastards understand anything.
Ken leeeeeeeeeeee… Too lee boo dee boo douchooooooooooo…
I guess she passed english exams
In democratic Bulgaria idiots make fun of you…
if THAT was english, i am then pope
He is of Bulgarian descent.
we’re no strangers to love
you know the rules and so do i
YESSSSSSS KEN LEE MADE IT ON FAILBLOG!!! I should be very happy because I’m Bulgarian but, actually I don’t know what to feel since, on the other hand, I’m kinda embarrassed lol!
tulibu dibu douchoo! WTF?
