Another of these English singers -- I gather she comes from Dover -- for some reason incapable of singing except with that odd sort of cod-American accent called 'mid-Atlantic', which I always find super-depressing {I even OPd a thread about it a way back}, even tho one of my best friends, the pop-singer-songwriter Marcie Mycroft, points out that it's just the way songs like hers are sung. This admittedly isn't a song of that sort, & Ms Stone, tho doubtless talented in her own way & genre, seems to me a poor choice to perform it on the part of the BL. There must surely be more suitable English or Scottish singers capable of singing in their own accent who would have made a better choice. OTOH, they presumably want to maximise profits for their excellent cause, and reckoned from a biz POV that a singer as popular as JS, singing in the way that the record-buying public expects such singers to sing, should aid in this. I fear they may be right, at that.

Is one's priority to be with taste or with profit for good cause? Not a simple one to answer, it seems to me.
