GUEST,Jon Bartlett singing with american accents (69* d) RE: singing with american accents 02 Aug 16


Most Canadian pop singers sound like they're from Tennessee: we call that "cultural colonialism" here.

The poster who said it was impossible to read Eliot with a Lancashire accent: not so, IMHO. The essence of Eliot comes out better (sorry, be'er) wiv a Wes lunn accent - try it! Maybe I'll demonstrate on Youtube someday.

My advice to newby singers is to learn the song from whoever, and them sing it in a strong Punjabi accent - you'll never again be tempted to sound American.
