Tina Turner is from a small southern town, not sure how she picked up an intercontinental accent before she moved abroad. <BR/><BR/>I think mom and dad got annoyed because we weren't "speaking in our own voices". <BR/><BR/>Accents are funny. I was so frustated by my horrible French one, I basically gave up on trying to speak the language. I was nervous about taking up a language again. I thought I might be one of those people who does not have a facility for languages. However, I have been told I have a nice Italian one (by Italians and non Italians). Go figure. Maybe Italian and Spanish are more my speed.nyc/caribbean ragazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09370358466131415888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-1162055143238555742006-10-28T19:05:00.000+02:002006-10-28T19:05:00.000+02:00Some people just pick up accents faster than other...Some people just pick up accents faster than others...we totally would come back from St. Martin speaking with a west indian accent (which would piss off my parents for some strange reason). And after my summer in France, I found myself not only slipping in french words into my everyday language, but I was saying engligh words with a french accent. When I was at UVA, I'd catch myself speaking with a southern accent (and that pissed me off). So, I dunno if madge is faking it, but it's totally possible :)<BR/><BR/>Now as for Tina Turner's accent...she started speaking that way BEFORE she left the country. Go figure! hehehegibberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13684431846168113672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-1162052004474609792006-10-28T18:13:00.000+02:002006-10-28T18:13:00.000+02:00tracie b. - that would be scary.

I can't even comment on Ms. Federline.<BR/><BR/>E & I - I'm not sure about the accent either. LOL. My parents after living in the U.S. for a while still have slight accents. Maybe it only works the other way around. As kids when we went to St. Martin to visit my grandparents, my siblings and I would start speaking with West Indian accents. I do know since living in So Cal I speak (and walk) a lot slower. The only time people hear any kind of New York accent is when I say words like "called" (I guess it sounds more like "cawled", yikes).nyc/caribbean ragazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09370358466131415888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-1161980262857389902006-10-27T22:17:00.001+02:002006-10-27T22:17:00.001+02:00It's terrible about the fire.

Some people are so selfish and have no regard for human life.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a Madonna fan but I do think the adoption was made with the purest intentions and I commend her for that. I also watched Oprah and the pictures are truly touching. The only thing that bothered me was the fake accent. Who knows, maybe once you live in a foreign country long enough, you pick up that particular accent. Although I have to tell you, my husband has been here for over 10 years and he still has the same Filipino accent he had the day he landed here.<BR/><BR/>Ah, Luther....I love his voice and he did leave this earth too soon. I have one of his concerts from London on DVD and it's one of my favorites. He is definitely missed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-1161980234884298412006-10-27T22:17:00.000+02:002006-10-27T22:17:00.000+02:00i will only get upset about the adoption if jessic...i will only get upset about the adoption if jessica simpson jumps on the bandwagon. or britney spears...Tracie P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16220560234729129259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-1161974010851295342006-10-27T20:33:00.000+02:002006-10-27T20:33:00.000+02:00I know.
