Thread Name: Kate Rusby, 'You belong to me'
Subject: RE: Kate Rusby, 'You belong to me'
Quotes from Diane in this thread:-

--------------------------------------------------------------------
kRusby sings in a Yorkshire accent.
I know. So do I.
There is, however, but one way to pronounce 'jungle'.


In mainland Britain there are two academically-recognised dialects.
Lowland Scots and Yorkshire Dales.
Not Barnsley.

The song is shit. Haven't heard the kRusby do it.


They're fucking accents.
Now piss off.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Given that one of the original drifts of this thread was that someone liked the way that KR pronouced 'jungle', does it matter if its a dialect or an accent? If it sounds different it sounds different.

All I can think is that DE is either just winding everyone up or she deserves pity.
Either way, perhaps it's better not to comment further but just leave her to her sad existence.
