cringe-worthy English accent by the Singaporeans, why don't they sing in their own language?

Everyone does that "uh,erm" thing if they are trying to give a thoughtful response.

But I am not talking about the command of the English language, it's the accent. Some Indians have an incredible command of the English language but when they open their mouth, you have no idea what they are talking about.

This is Eva Green, a french actress wwith a british accent.
