I think they act a bit like parrots - they can repeat what they've heard, but it doesn't mean anything to them. That might also explain why I heard a contestant audition by singing "Happy Birthday"... Oh, well in that case, yes I DO think of the bavarian lifestyle. My, if I got that mixed up then I need to do some more Germany research! =P Not many Americans know German, unfortunately, but those who do are considered to be highly intelligent. Personally I'm a bit horrible with foreign languages, though I do know how to count to ten in French. =D Gespräch mit Ihnen später!

I have to say it's a bit disorienting to hear someone chatting away in German and then start singing in English. I'm surprised so many of the contestants can pronounce the words properly! I had to sing a French song once and people thought I was singing about potatoes. Do many German people speak English? To be honest, I do think about bratwurst, but when I hear Germany I usually picture people dancing in a beer hall and wearing those green folk outfits. Course, when people hear America they think of skinny, barely clad teenagers singing pop songs and dancing provocatively, and that's only one eighth of our country. The rest of the country is a bunch of overweight, barely clad teenagers singing pop songs and dancing provocatively. =P I went and looked up some videos- there was a lot lost to me because of the language barrier, but I got the gist of it.
