What's with the folks on the radio singing with odd speech affectations that they don't have when they just talk?

There's a good few of them. Male & female.

It's plain daft!

Totally agree! I was in Tesco today (living the dream) and thought the exact same thing. It’s really annoying!

GoodVibesHere · 27/11/2021 22:37

No idea what you mean

KingRoloIV · 27/11/2021 22:39

Ronan bloody Keating…. Can’t listen to him, it totally irritates me 😡

Taytocrisps · 27/11/2021 22:42

I came here to nominate Ronan Keating but I see @KingRoloIV has beaten me to it.

AurevoirLesEnfants · 27/11/2021 22:44

Ronan Keating, James Blunt, Ellie Goulding all do this!

WinterCarlisle · 27/11/2021 22:44

Passenger is another culprit. I really like the songs but why the weird voice?

BleuJay · 27/11/2021 22:45

Probably a combination of nose jobs and horse sized veneers.

And why do so many sing in fake American accents? It just makes them sound like shitty pub drunks. Looking at you, Robbie Williams.

MeredithGreyishblue · 27/11/2021 22:47

Tom Walker & Holly Humberstone both do it too.
Really great voices, really good songs. But they emit odd noises!

Not a singer but Billie Piper on her last Dr Who episodes.
I think it was put down to a brace, i Albany watch those ones though.
Also have a similar issue with Sam Smith

Adele. Her weird annunciation gets right on my nerves.

DaisyNGO · 27/11/2021 22:49

I haven't noticed any odd noises?

thefirstmrsrochester · 27/11/2021 22:50

Another coming on to say Ronan.

DaisyNGO · 27/11/2021 22:51

@mamaduckbone

Adele. Her weird annunciation gets right on my nerves.
I know she's flavour of the month but I wasn't aware she'd been given this responsibility 😂

(Sorry, hard to resist given the topic)

mamaduckbone · 27/11/2021 23:21

@DaisyNGO GrinGrinGrin enunciation, clearly!! It's late and there has been wine! Wine

Anordinarymum · 28/11/2021 00:11

It's not so much the pronunciation that I find cringeworthy - it's the guys with the whistling false teeth speech.
Jonnie Walker
Elaine Paige
And the worst culprit of all - Barry Cryer

Use some fixodent please :)
