I've heard British singers who tap their t's, pronounce the o's in "not, god, etc." like the "a" in "car", ect. Is that because they want to imitate an American Accent, then?

To tell you the truth, I've never heard any foreigner (unless they learned English when they were very young, or had lived in an English speaking country for at least a decade, and had extensive, and personalized accent coaching) ever be able to pull off either an American or British accent....
