Quote: How come when people sing they always sound like Americans...?? I mean,.. except for very few exceptions, everyone, no matter what country they're from... (Australia,.. Scotland.. England.. Ireland...) all sound like pure-bred Yankees when they sing rock and roll...
I think there's more of a universal singing accent. But I know what you mean. Specially a scottsman. Like Jimmi Barns (aussie rock singer) is very scottish by accent but you wouldn't know if you heard him sing. And I think that universal singing accent is closer to the american accent than any other. Try to say OH YEEEH, loudly, in a british or other accent (except fo Billy Conelly of course).
