Just wondering.................

[CUPID]

Hi all,
Hope one of you clever people out there can help me with this.
"Why don't people have accents when they sing?"

Thanks
:-)

The Proclaimers do!

[Bbbananas]

A lot do - but they don't seem so pronounced somehow.
I don't know why though - so I'm probably not much help!

[joggerjayne]

Don't we all become American when we sing?

[tigerlily11]

Welsh male voice chiors care quite distinctive.

[B00]

Now see that's you're first mistake, assuming we're all clever people ;-)

[tigerlily11]

Oh come on Boo.
I only made one spelling mistake.
Thats not bad for me.:-(

[joggerjayne]

Does "chiors care" only count as one, tiger ??

=0)

[mccfluff]

arctic monkeys do

I think people adopt the "accent" of the song......in a previous thread I told of singing "Last train to San Fernando" to death when I was a youngster-now try singing that with a geordie accent!!!!

[Sachs]

Hi cupid,
probably concentrating on the words/ tune lessens an accent?

[joggerjayne]

" ... last treeyan tae San Fransiscoor ... "

[tigerlily11]

Yea my math is up the wall as well.
Considering how choir is spelt it sounds like it should be 'chior'.

[scotgal]

JJ you opened the bottle early hun?

[joggerjayne]

That's true, tiger.

Bit like "wierd" "weird"

[tigerlily11]

If you think English is nuts these days it was hidious a couple of hundred years ago.
They put an e on the end of every other word.
Morning Jayne and Boo and every one else.

[tigerlily11]

And before yu say it, yes I can't tell the time either.

I`d never have guessed Bob Marley was Jamaican until I saw a picture of him
