I mean.. I guess so, but I never found it to be awkward to the point that it affected how I enjoyed the song. I mean.. boogywoogey is a bit out there, but she makes it work.

The main reason, and I'm being completely honest, I don't like I'm Fed Up over J'en Ai Marre is that in I'm Fed Up, is because the cute hiccup part is lost in translation. Though for I'm Not Twenty, I do love the "Get up and start to smile guy, do it for me" part!
