How come when some people with accents sing it sounds like they don't have an accent ?

Question

you know what I mean

Answer 1

Actually they say that if you sing correctly, you should have no accent at all. That's what my mother says she was taught and she was a music major in college.

Answer 2

I went to a huge church in Greenville South Carolina,where my cousin is music director and I heard the most wonderful southern accent with those people, I was very much impressed, its totally southern the way they sung.but they sung so well, in Harmony I have been to a lot or churches but they really impressed me. never thought about broughs or accents before but when they sung,welI .I will never forget it.

Answer 3

Singing voices are muliticultural; they sometimes sound accented, but sometimes they don't.

Answer 4

Singing is a lot different than casual speaking. When you sing, you draw out your vowels and change them (somehow) so they sound different. If you listen carefully, you can tell that they still have an accent, but you don't really notice unless you're specifically paying attention.

Well I remember
I remember, don't worry (worry)
How could I ever forget, it's the first time
The last time we ever met (met (met (met)))
Well I -something something something something- silence up
-something something something-
