I would encourage you to sing any songs you love, and don't certainly don't try to force an accent. There is nothing worse than a fake accent, except for the one in a million people who did it very well. But you don't have to rip all traces of it out either and rewrite the song. Just sing in your own voice. Of course you have your own voice..whatever comes out of your mouth is your own voice.

And if you like a song, then sing it. Doesn't matter if it is a male or not. But I beg you not to change the words to make it from a female perspective. Nothing wrecks a song faster..even fake accents..even rewriting it for more modern times...just leave it like it is if you like it and sing it. Enjoy it. They are hearing what the man is saying, not what you are saying. You are only like the record player in this situation...oops..Ipod or whatever. mg
