Demeter | Friday, May 02, 2003 - 12:54 pm     Thanks, Hermione! How nice that Clay and Kim have become so close. It showed on last weeks program. |
Hobbs | Friday, May 02, 2003 - 12:56 pm     This is not meant to be negative. It may even be off topic. I just came up with something and don't know where else to put it. When you listen to Clay talk, he has a major southern twang. Wouldn't you expect him to sing like Josh? I guess it's like Jim Neighbors, although I would much rather listen to Clay than Jim. |
Muse | Friday, May 02, 2003 - 01:26 pm     What do you mean, Hobbs? Clay's accent can be heard in his singing. I enjoy it. And not all southern people need to sing country... I'm more amused by Josh's twang, considering the fact that he comes from the Detroit area. |
Demeter | Friday, May 02, 2003 - 01:26 pm     I wouldn't call it a twang. I'd call it a southern accent. And no, just because someone has a southern accent, doesn't mean they would sing with a "twang". I think people from New York and Boston have a distinct accent, but I don't necessarily hear it in their singing. |
Hobbs | Friday, May 02, 2003 - 01:50 pm     I was just commenting on how Josh's twang seemed so pronounced and... aww forget it. I'm in enough trouble for starting the "Josh do the right thing" thread. I'm going incognito now.  |
Walker | Friday, May 02, 2003 - 02:05 pm     hobbs..i agree he does have a southern accent but i don't hear it atall when he sings..i don't see anything negative about saying that..i love clay. |
Hermione69 | Friday, May 02, 2003 - 02:17 pm     LOL, Hobbs, it's okay! I didn't get anything negative from your post. No need to go incognito! |
Wcv63 | Friday, May 02, 2003 - 02:26 pm     Southerners don't have accents. It's the midwesterners, westerners, and yankees that have the accents.  |
Brenda1966 | Friday, May 02, 2003 - 02:42 pm     Okay, I don't have a southern accent, but I sure can sing with a twang -- you should hear me karaoke! Not. I agree with above about Clay being a great AI due to more than his singing. He will really try to do some good and give back and help people. He's a good role model. |
Demeter | Friday, May 02, 2003 - 02:48 pm     Hobbs, don't run away! Nothing wrong with asking a question. I didn't take it as negative either. Clay does have a distinct sound when he sings, I just don't hear the singing as that southern. I think his distinct sound will carry him well as he gets to the radio crowd and all. |
Rabbit | Friday, May 02, 2003 - 02:49 pm     ANCE63, how come when I used to to go visit my Grandmama Rabbit in New Orleans, the local news reporters on TV all talked like they were from California? Does an Orleans accent become so garbled when transmitted electronically that even you folks cant understand it? |
Wcv63 | Friday, May 02, 2003 - 03:10 pm     Rabbit, for some reason those news reporters are bred to talk like those California types. I'm tellin ya...we regular Orleanians don't have accents. It's the rest of ya. Also dear bunny rabbit...Orleanians are smart. We can understand all of ya'll other folk who speak with accents. Now sometimes, especially when dealing with those Oregonian floppy eared types, we have to resort to just sussing out the general meaning. If ya know what I mean. BTW, did I tell ya we got a bunny? His name is Jack but he is called Bitty Bunny more often than not. He's an affectionate lil thing. |
Tabbyking | Friday, May 02, 2003 - 05:47 pm     when i lived in boston everyone told me i talked like a newscaster. yep, i'm from california, so all newscasters must sound the same to everyone else around the country. everyone outside of california immediately identified me as being a californian...but: the funny thing is, people in california ask me where i'm from. i think my dad even asked once...lol... most people here think i am from chicago. i stopped there for pizza once and i went to o'hare twice... |
Muse | Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 05:40 pm     Aw, Hobbs, no need to run away! You didn't say anything wrong. |
Hermione69 | Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 05:50 pm     You guys cracked me up with all your posts about accents-- New Orleans accents and Chicago accents and California accents! I was laughing out loud! As for me, because my hearing loss does affect my speech, most people who meet me for the first time think one of three things-- that I have a speech problem, that I have a hearing loss (only people who personally know or work with deaf people usually guess this), or that I am from abroad. When I was younger, I used to pretend I was from abroad just to mess with people! This is such a fun thread to hang out in! |
Lilliegirl | Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 07:10 pm     You people make me laugh, Im from South Carolina and I sound just like Clay, he does not sing like he is from the south. Does anybody remember the Drifters, Tams and Chris Rock they all are from S.C. I forgot one Jessica Lange the actress is from my home town. We all talk different.My voice sounds like the giggest redneck but who cares. |
Sadiesmom | Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 09:16 pm     My nephew is from NC. He does not quite sound like it, must have been the summers up north with me. LOL |
