 Post subject: when you sing alongPosted: Wed Apr 25, 2007 10:11 am 
when you sing along to songs with different accents, do you sing in YOUR accent, or the songs accent? _________________ my name's carrie and i love a good sandwich so if you have a sandwich, come roll with me!

most songs would be entirely mucked up if not sung in the proper accent. lily allen would sound crude, beer goggles would sound seriously alcoholic instead ofthe hilariousity it is _________________ "curiouser and curiouser!"

I used to try and always emulate the singer, but now I try to sing along with a more classical approach (as gay as that sounds). _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

If you don't sing in the native accent, the words might flow very well. _________________ Power is only pain It’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.

It depends on how saucy I'm feeling.  _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

I think there is a line that should not be crossed. For example, my sister unfortunately has a liking for these nasally, drawn out sounding singers for crap teenage angst bands and she feels as though she has to sing just like they do and I don't think she realizes how moronic she sounds. But in some cases it's fine. Just my opinion. _________________ Yeah... |

I sometimes do the accent thing... most of the time. It's so much fun with Japanese songs that have English lines in them... =) And Underneath Your Clothes by Shakira, I try and do her really nasal type way of singing... =) _________________ - Heather ^^ |

i always sing with the accent of the singer. for instance, Joanna Newsom songs must be sung as Joanna Newsom... _________________ Saellys wrote: Thank God for Arielle  all your kind, they're coming clean they shut their eyes their mess, their scene |
