Is it “wo” or “o”

Q: Richard. I know that you often pronounce wo as “o” then why do they sing wo instead of o in songs?
i am a bit confuse? can you please help? thanks.  - Cindy

A: Hi Cindy, it’s mainly just artistic reasons.  The real sound is sort of inbetween, but it can vary.  So just like in English songwriters sometimes change things around a bit to make them sound better!
