    Her look? YES, she is quite nice. But her singing ? She did sing the
    words probably (correct accent).But her voice can't get to the correct tunes.
    (too low - tra^`m). And her performent? Please, have mercy! Anyone must have 
    know that she must act since she can't understand any much vietnamese words
    in her song.

	  In my opinion, this person who made the above judgement is somehow high expectant. Singing a
    foreign song fluently is too hard already, you know. In this case, you expect Dalena to understand 
    every single word when she sings in Vietnamese.

As an entertainment singer, no.  As someone who holds true appreciation of 
VNese music, yes.  There are American who became very proficient with our
language.

    Can you sing an English song as well as Dalena sings
    many songs in our language?.  

Gimme a singer's voice, and I'll sing my heart out for you :-).  Guarantee 
no worse than Dalena's singing of VNese songs.  But then it's my opinion :-).

    Look at our singers, be honest with you none of them sings songs in 
    English that well. Especailly when they sing songs in French, they sound very BO^`I. 

On the contrary, I found VNese singers did very well with American songs, 
or French songs for that matter.  We can imitate with the best people, but 
I particularly enjoy the VNese tonal in their rendition.  Talk about 
judgement, where do you come up with such harsh inclination of VNese 
singers.  Can you sing French songs as well as they do??? :-).

    But they at least
    have given their best try and shared their dreams of learning to sing foreign songs as well as the
    natives do. 

I have no idea that's what they dream about.  Silly me, I thought they just
dream to be the best singer.

	   In my conclusion, I should say everybody must encourage, accept, and consider Dalena 
    our community singer. 

You really should not! because I must nothing.  Are you Dalena's boyfriend 
or sth? :-).  Given Dalena's interest in the VNese music, I would be glad 
to have her as our community friend but nothing else.

	   Best regards, 

	   Ta`i@sun

Apparently, you didn't practice what you preach here.  Spare us the baloney.
