Jacko  +  1863 Wed, 09 Jul 03 06:43 AM I have been wondering why is it that when British people sing, it's in American accent. I personally never heard a British singer sing in British accent, and I would love to hear one! Can British speak in the American accent if they wanted too, or is it just when they sing? Hope you can clarify some of these confusions. Thank you. Jacko Joined on Fri, Jun 20 2003 Full Member 215 ...Ad Space For Sale...
