The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

I was just listening - did I say listening?, I mean baring through gritted teeth Big Bruvaz(sic) new 'song' when I was tickled by the embarrassing lyrics - but more the mispronounciation of the lyrics; what really made me chuckle was the 'I'll turn you into a shopa-HOLE-ic' - side-splittingly funny - you would think before they put out this rubbish they could at least learn how to pronounce the English language. I am just providing you with some recent examples here - feel free to add the ones that really make you laugh; here are some I've picked out.

Elton John - I want Love... 'I wan't LURVE' I know this is an almost cliched way to pronounce 'Love', but he really sais it with a seemingly careless disregard for English. Leaves me in stiches.

Enrique Iglesias - Love to see you cry. 'Tell me WAAR, WAAR , but I love to see you cry'. OK,so he's Spanish and English isn't his first language - but surely he should know how to pronounce a common word like why.

Sophie Ellis-Bexter - ...can't remember the name of the song, but it goes... 'I'll show you Heav -UN', Now we all know about Heaven, but I wonder exactly what this 'Heavun' is she is referring to? But we must take our hat off to Sophie, because almost all artists put on a so-called 'Trans-Atlantic accent' , but Norwich born Sophie is the only British artist that I know of who sings all her songs in an Australian accent.

Ok son, this is why you will never make an MC or a Rapper, if you don't allow flexibility in your language then you won't get any music.

Anybody can rap, they've just gotta have skills. I think the same quote (it is a quote by somebody famous) can be applied to songs.

You must also take into account accents, if Big Bruvaz or however are dirty little southern commoners then perhaps they do lack the ability to fully grasp the english language, you cannot say this takes away from their music. The problem with their music is not the lyrics but the whole concept of it, they scene it is involved in and the lack of anything decent to have come out of that. It is not a lyrical thing.

What music do you actually like?

Southerners are not dirty and common I'll have you know. I'm proud of where I'm from (which is possibly a little strange in Milton Keynes but I am.)

I wouldn't want to be up north, especially with them accents...

But all four examples of mispronounciation are not necessary; eg. Enrique Iglesias' 'Why' rhymes in the song with 'cry', so there is no need to not say it correctly.
In the Big Bruvaz(sic) song 'Shopa-hole-ic' is supposed to 'rhyme' with 'Vomit' :lol: , so the traditional pronounciation would actually fit better(but of course would still not rhyme). And as for their London accents, they would pronounce it 'Shopa'olic', so the way they say the word has nothing to do with their accents, just a perplexing and hilarious lyrical *. Who sais British comedy isn't alive and well?

Northern Accents are immense.

Southern accents are for car theiving common gimps with their bottle of white sh*te (rhymes with kite) and fake burberry caps.

That means no offence to those who do not fit into the stereotype, but stereotypes are based on the majority of the people. Just like geordies are stereotypically illiterate and non-numeric!

Don't worry about M+L Fan, he was the one who complained about Oasis's Liddle by Liddle.

Good to know, thanks!
