Access Hollywood-Avril mispronounce the name

[angelezus]

Well but if you're someone who might have read the name somewhere, but didn't exactly hear people saying the name, you might not know how to pronounce. Like meringue. It's a common word and (quite important if you're into FOOD) but it's not read as it looks.

[SandozSaxonWilliams]

good for you Avril.

[jbrisby]

How can Avril seem less mature today than she did ten years ago?

[Blackstar27984]

shes said it right, you can say it either way

[masteevale]

Who the fuck is David Bowie??

[MsMoonTheLoon]

@masteevale

WHAT? I mean, seriously?

[masteevale]

@MsMoonTheLoon yeap, I'm clueless

[MsMoonTheLoon]

@masteevale

well besides being general knowledge, he can be googled..or look up every music lexicon, if it's a good one, he must be in there! he's a freakin legend!

[help4343]

@MsMoonTheLoon

Do those sources include a name pronunciation guide?

[MsMoonTheLoon]

@help4343

partly, they actually do, yes. And if you Google him you will come across some videos where his name is mentioned anyway.

[Eggs4Eva]

well im English and ive always said it like that but did she actually not know who he was because that's just shameful!

[clemenza1234]

this little chick isn't talented enough to be acting this arrogant and snotty.

[AvrilLavigneFan19844]

@clemenza1234 search for: "push walmart avril" ;)

[kokym8]

u know that his name should be spelled in ..ENGLISH and his name in British accent aka the closest accent for the real english accent spelled "bawie" not "boowie" ... i think she is right

[trukurt]

Haha now that's the Avril I remember. Such a typical teenager!!! =D

[cfcolly]

FUCKING STUPID AMERICANS!!!!! SHE SAID IT RIGHT AND THEY CORRECT HER WTF!!!

[disgruntledgoat212]

@cfcolly wow

[disgruntledgoat212]

@cfcolly accully mabye sorry

[tonkpils666x]

david bowie fucking suck no wonder she didnt know who the fuck he was he's a creep

[Eggs4Eva]

im english and have always said it that way just becuase everyone around has pronounced it like that

[DukeVonCheesus]

In what universe would a no-talent teenybopper idiot like that be introducing David Bowie?

[loghen01]

@DukeVonCheesus "no-talent" ?

[loghen01]

@DukeVonCheesus "no-talent" ?

[DukeVonCheesus]

@loghen01 Did I stutter?

[AdelieTheVampire666]

David Bowie is said like BOH-ee NOT BOW-ee =.= He's always pronounced his own name like that :D

[001Balehead]

If you need auditory proof of how Bowie pronounces his name (bow-ee, not bough-ee as she says it), look up "the little drummer boy, peace on earth, bowie, bing." He introduces himself in the first 20 seconds.

[The12Child]

@001Balehead It's like "ow" in "no" not in "now"

[001Balehead]

Whilst there's really nothing wrong with her ignorance of the pronunciation of his name (even some people who know him cannot pronounce it properly simply because they never heard it), people have to stop defending her with "but that's the way he pronounces it." He does not pronounce it bough-ee, he pronounces it bow-ee (as in bow and arrows).

In England, despite saying bough-ee knife etc, an exception is made for bow-ee, because that is how HE pronounces it. He chose the name and pronunciation

[AmeliaLidstrom]

I think it's hilarious. and I love Avril Lavigne and I am sooo proud of her for releasing her 4th album!!!

[beckie2795]

David Bowie prounces it the way she did.

[The12Child]

@beckie2795 No it's "ow" in "o" everyone know that

[cyvais]

She's an idiot. Still.

[NinzMiss]

its so awesome thats shes so cool about it afterwards ;D

what ever, i got the other ones right.. i think xD

[LoonyInSpace]

erm it is pronounced like that. David Bowie himself pronounces it like that.

[jackstraw424]

Thats how its pronounced in England... aaand David Bowie is english.whats the problem exactly?

[Brendansanatomy]

lmfao this kills me.

oh well, it was an honest mistake!

[Jonmad17]

David Bowie is one of the greatest musicians to ever live. It's weird that she has no idea who he is. But really, who cares if she made a mistake?

[BakuBoyDrago]

I love her so much! Haha, "we LIKE to get up at 3 in tha afternoon."

[ZulKoji]

It's so funny that when a celebrity makes the TINIEST mistake, the news people IMMEDIATELY broadcast this EVERYWHERE. Jesus.

And btw, Avril looks shy.

[pattycat100567]

Yws that's how it is pronounced in England, but she is NOT English and she obviously does not know who he is and therefore should be beaten about the head with a copy of with an Aladdin Sane L.P.

[RachelClaire6]

haha and cindy lauper stands net to her and makes a funny face

[PokeParadise123]

We say it like she did in England :D

[ArturoBandini22]

She is not the first, nor will she be the last, idiot starlet. They have a factory for girls like her.

David Bowie, on the other hand, irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind.

[browniebladder]

@ArturoBandini22 oh give me a break. she was a kid. and just because she didn't know who he was doesn't make her an idiot; maybe she had just never listened to him before. there are about a hundred gazillion musicians in the world, maybe no one ever introduced her to him. unless you've heard anyone say his name, it is very easy to get confused, she didn't know, it could have been pronounced either way. anyway, that's not even his real name, and i'm sure he didn't care that she said it that way.

[Raymoiful]

@browniebladder Oh yeah, the fact she never heard about David Bowie does make her an idiot. David Bowie changed the music scene. If you are into music, especially rock and punk, you have to come around him, he influenced so many musicians it is impossible to not know at least his name.

[MattieManhattan]

vapid hack. ugh.

[thecrazyshow2008]

What an IDIOT! Come on! I think anyone who is musically famous does or should know of David Bowie! And should know how to pronounce his name, especially if you're announcing him!

[BadMoviesNow]

David Bowie isn't fucking rock anyway. Protopunk bullshit and pop...even this bitch is more rock than that asshole.

[sheridw]

@BadMoviesNow ~ Are you freakin' kidding me? I can't even imagine where rock would be today, punk or otherwise, without him.

[BadMoviesNow]

@sheridw

He's been around since 64...Alot of other MUCH better rock artists have been around in that time as well. He is no Queen, no Sabbath, no Priest no Zevon, no...well I could go on forever.

[cameronmichaelreid]

In England we say it like that. (:

[malukalili]

Bauwiee weeee ahauahua

[rawwqq]

I love David Bauwie!

[JDMangaeyes]

Shes Canadian, shes allowed to say words weird lol.

Plus she was born in 1984 so if she isn't familiar with David Bowie, surely that's understandable?

[bobolob]

@JDMangaeyes No, it's not. I was born in 1984. She's in the freaking music industry on top of everything. I'd still do her but not expect much conversation.

[Popartastic]

@JDMangaeyes I'm Canadian, and younger than her, regardless I know how to say Bowie.

[thechokinghazard]

david bowee it is!

[elpasomyk]

dumb bitch

[avrillavigne1424]

@elpasomyk no she isn't

[elpasomyk]

@avrillavigne1424 mhm

[elpasomyk]

@avrillavigne1424 uhm yea...yea she is :) have a nice day

[Antnj81]
