By Accents, British people

In regard to the comment on Americans not having the variety or plethora of accents present in the UK, I have a mixed response. Part of me wants to be angry because that is a pretty ignorant statement, but another part wants to agree with you for some strange reason. I will start off by stating...

I just wanna know what I can do in order to understand British accent. I speak American English. I realized that I cant understand British accent at all after seeing The prince and me and Harry Potter. Why do British people sound really bad? or I dont think they are speaking English haha.

Well I must say that reading through this post there's a lot of scepticism coming from British people about americans, and rightly so, I'm British, and yanks don't half talk a large amount of ****. Accents in England are vast, this means that they must be grouped into what is called a single...

I think that the British people sound somewhat "American" when singing because when they speak, their consonants are much more harder than in the American accent(s) but when singing you just have to somewhat soften the consonants... I'm neither British nor American so I can be telling rubbish....

"Jacko, pray no more British people see this post!" Is it offensive? If it is, I didn't really mean to.

personally never heard a British singer sing in British accent Blur, Oasis and The Beatles. There are a b'zillion more examples. Jacko, pray no more British people see this post! hehe

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...
