I don't think it's a matter of not considering pronunciation important - I don't think that can be controlled. All I am saying is that she sounds like a native speaker when she sings so either she is a native English speaker OR she is lip syncing, that's all.
By the way, I found her blog artilce about her English. It says, "I'm not a returnee child, have never studied abroad, nor have a native speaker partner. I studied at an English school at the age of 14-18, and then, self-studied. But I felt I'd reached the limit of this way, so 3years ago I started to take a lesson of a bilingual teacher."
The Japanese don't have a letter 'F'. They use 'Hu'; when she sings "...those of us with ravaged FACES..." you can absolutely hear the 'Hu' distorting the transition between the 'F' and the 'A' so that it becomes "Fuuay-ces".
Have you even checked out PSY•S? Hear her in all her Japanese-ness and tell me she isn't native.
