Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 how come brits sing with an american accent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcinsu Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 because the american accent is typically flat, as far as melodic cadences go... and when singing, you are typically sustaining a note per vowel, which flattens out any natural cadence an accent may give. for the most part.

I don't buy it. surely you could sing exactly the same but with british phonemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Moss Acid Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 We sing at all times in America. It's a never ending musical. One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.

sneaksta303 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Videos like this make me cringe. i think he should have sang the original if anything, not the remake. The teard for fears version is wayyyyy better imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bitroast Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 yeah that was good stuffs. my real comment is, whenever i hear the line "happy birthday, happy birthday" in the slow sad version, i still hear the ridiculous synth/horn breakout second or so from the 80s version.

sneaksta303 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 tears for fears did it better. fuck gary jules VERY FUCKING TRUE. And the more I think about it, this video was gut-wrenchingly horrible. FUCK YOU FOR POSTING IT GEORGE. sorry for yelling everybody. I hope there wasn't too much collateral damage. yeah that was good stuffs. my real comment is, whenever i hear the line "happy birthday, happy birthday" in the slow sad version, i still hear the ridiculous synth/horn breakout second or so from the 80s version. lol... me too! And btw, the original was on the OST for DD (at least it was when i d/led it from Slsk 3 years ago), so maybe it WAS in the movie... like, really quiet and SNEAKY like.

Guest boo Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 does he have both hands up his bum how come brits sing with an american accent? he probably is because he's copying gary jules, who is american so sings with an american accent. most british singers don't sing with an american accent. it irritates me when they do, especially when it's like jamie lidell because the american accent is typically flat, as far as melodic cadences go... and when singing, you are typically sustaining a note per vowel, which flattens out any natural cadence an accent may give. for the most part. I don't buy it. surely you could sing exactly the same but with british phonemes. you could, but you'd sound like lily allen. she barely sings edit: kate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bushkate bush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
