@InParticularNobody Imagine Limeys & Geordies singing in their own accents!?!? So, not a good idea. IMHO, you should use a neutral accent when you're singing.

OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG!!!! Am I dreaming? No CAPO!?!? This is the first time ever, I've seen her without that freakin' thang!!!! Pinch, me people!

The audio/video sync is about half a second off for her playing (but not her singing), really annoying. :/
-
her face is so young but her soul seems to have lived a hundred years,
I love this
-
@InParticularNobody i dont think its an american accent
-
I love her
-
@poopypad I'm from England and I know all about her back-story, thanks. It just really irritates me that she puts on a false American accent nowadays. It's flaky. I much prefer it when people sing in their own accent, that's all.
