Is it just me or does Oprah change the way she speaks depending upon the audience? She was at some college commencement on TV this morning where she got an honorary doctorate----wow---did she sound 'ghetto' in telling her story..........'They said ya gat to change yah name'....
Just strange.

Granted Oprah is an intelligent successful woman, but she's no better or worse than any other writer, talk show host, or celebrity that expresses an opinion whether it be right or wrong, and yes many celebrity's including political celebrity's such as Hillary Clinton for some reason or another alter their voices/accents in order to impress/sway a particular audience.

I've heard Oprah do it too. Hillary Clinton is being accused of "playing" to black audiences by using terms they use and she's getting huge criticism from it but she's white and Oprah's black. Nobody criticizes Oprah when she's on her show and doesn't talk like she's still from the "Po part of the South - Mississippi.

I heard her on Howard University t.v. In my opinion she does change in her way of speaking...to certain people!
