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

@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.

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.

good for you Avril.

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

[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.

shes said it right, you can say it either way

@help4343

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

@MsMoonTheLoon

Do those sources include a name pronunciation guide?
