Who heard the "Sorry Song" before? I heard people say he had a bad accent.

never heard but would like to hear.

personally i think it's one of the hardest accents to master. you really do need to take on the voice of a filipino fob to get it right. embarassedlaugh.gif i'm joking. but still, there are a lot of elements in the tagalog language that only sound right when said a certain way.

i never heard it, but i'm thinking that there is some sort of influence, because usually American artists don't just go and make up an Asian, let alone Filipino, songs outta the blue. filipino gf, he was in pi, etc?

He has been around for years. Have you heard "One Last Cry" or "Back at One"? Even if you haven't heard those or remakes of his songs, he produced before he did that.

Brian McKnight:



This is "So Sorry": http://rapidshare.de/files/4589765/Brian_M...rsion_.MP3.html

The story behind why he sang it in Tagalog was that he is good friends with a Filipino singer and he was in the studio with him one day and heard him singing in Tagalog, so he figured he wanted to too. embarassedlaugh.gif

'Filipino' is Tagalog that incorporates slang and English words. Authentic Tagalog has very few foreign loan words used in it, thus we differentiate between 'Tagalog' and 'Filipino.'

Ohh ok. Now I know him, just after now. Before that, I had no idea who this guy was embarassedlaugh.gif Thanks for the link. His Tagalog is still very understandable albeit the heavy accent, lol. It gets the message though. I'm guessing this is like a break-up song or something. "I'm so soohooraay....kung nasaktan man kita yoy di sinasadya." I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. Damn I stink at translating, haha.

I'm sure it's pretty typical for people to cite Wikipedia as a source, and I'd hate to do it myself, but here's what I'm basing my presumption with.
