Deni-C	Singing in dialect (63* d)	RE: Folklore: Singing in dialect	17 Apr 03
'I refrain from singing blues (I'll PLAY, tho) because I simply can't SOUND like a blues singer. If I tried it would be terrible AND possibly insulting.' so maybe, like an actor, if you can do a pretty convincing accent or dialect, you could maybe get away with it as long as it SOUNDS OK. who can it hurt? Reminds me that singers of a lot of other nationalities sing in English. Is anyone going to say they shouldn't do that because they don't soundlike English people, I think not. it only works the other way around from what I've heard...... I think we should sing songs the way they are menat to be sung, with as much added artistic license as we like. :-} D
