In Hotter Than Hell, Dua sings a weird screech sound at the start of the world 'Hell'. Not criticising I like the way she sings it and it is rather different.

I remember in Katy Perry Wide Awake I remember there was a weird croaking sound at the O of the word 'from'. Again I am not criticising, it was a good song too.

Any other words sung in an unusual/different manner that you have heard in songs?

The way Sophie sounds "dancer" in Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer) by the Freemasons was cute! Darncer

Haha, I always loved that because it's how I pronounce it and hardly any singers pronounce it like that in their songs!

The Me in 'Its Gonne Be me sounding like MAY in the N'Sync Song

Plus her British accent in 'Work Bitch' and 'Scream and Shout'!

Also, JT's "may".

Sophie's pronunciations are half the reaosn why she is so amazing

The way Ellie Goulding bahhhs the song's title like a sheep in 'Army', I've never been able to take that song seriously because of it.

I recall one such instance of James Morrison deliberately singing with a 'frog in his throat.'

James Morrison – Please Don't Stop The Rain


I'm not a fan of what he does here, it happens throughout the song, but most notable between seconds 1:26 and 1:34.

Every time I hear it it makes me want to clear my throat!

Calum Scott has some really weird pronunciations in his Dancing On My Own cover "I'm right over eyerr", "dancing on my errrrrrn"

Wow you do come up with some bizarre topics they make me laugh tho!

My all time favourite is that spell where in every popular R&B song the singer would pronounce "everybody" as "URRRbody" (e.g. Don't Wanna Go Home, Cheers (Drink To That) etc...)

Kate Nash's "but i cahhnt" in Foundations

Posted by: Chez Wombat 17th August 2016, 05:29 PM

That's certainly not odd for us posh Londoners!

Daisy Dares You - Number One Enemy - should be called Number One Anime to match her pronunciation more (or Number WAHN Anime).
