So if you didn't know, in 2001 during the height of Morning Musume's (and Hello! Project's) popularity, an English cover album was released to the public. It probably should not have been.
I don't know who thought this would be a good idea, but it happened (twice) nonetheless.
For whatever reason, I have decided to sit down and listen to these songs again (I listened to them a couple of years back when I first got into H!P and remember not being able to finish) and review them.
If you are feeling masochistic then you can click on each song title to listen to them on Youtube.

Do note that the songs were given "new" English names, but you can usually tell which songs they are. This is Koi no Dance Site.
This song is actually a decent way to start things off. If I didn't know the original song, I probably wouldn't be angry. But Denice's reinterpretation is a bit too.. serious? Like the original is all playful and stuff, but this seems like a serious R&B track. Which, again, would be fine if it were a song by itself. The only problem is that it's not.
And the random Japanese inserted into the song is kinda funny. It's all ~seriousenglish seriousenglish WAI YAI YAI seriousenglish~ Also the ending was kinda creepy
4/10
