Eh I think half of it is that the subject and lyrics of her songs in French can't be translated into English with it sounding like it does in French, and not only that...normally the subject matters and the play on words isn't something one normally hears in English pop songs. We're just not used to having songs translated and not only that, it's really hard to convey the same meaning while fitting it to the song. So no I don't think "I'm Fed Up" sounds completley ridiculous, it just doesn't work in English, they tried their hardest probably under a time constraint. If you don't like the song, don't listen to it imo.
