"Got A Hold On Me" on YouTube
Someone just recently added Christine's "Got A Hold On Me" video to YouTube.

Thanks for the post. Every time I listen to "Friend," I'm struck by how Christine sings "been" with the distinct English pronunciation of "bean" ("before the first love song had ever 'bean' sung.") I wondered if she had always used that pronunciation, wracking my brain for any other examples. In "Got A Hold On Me," she definitely uses the American pronunciation of "been."

In my normal everyday (sloppy) speach I would say bin Perhaps Christine was trying to pronounce in the proper English manner Quite right too! (Resists temptation to burst in Land of Hope and Glory) :laugh: Sorry about that it's just that it's very hot in this (non air-conditioned) office today and I've had a horrible week and I want to go home.

She and her nephew, both Brits, probably didn't even notice her pronunciation. Whatever the case, I LOVE when she pronounces been as "bean" in "Friend." It's so damn charming and -- because I make this association with the British "accent" -- elegant. |

Actually I think her hair looks a bit of a mess in this video Gail |

I'm sure there's some proper musical explanation for this. I bet she says "bin" in her normal everyday speach - I bin watchin the telly instead of I have been watching the television for example. Gail |

Okay, I was listening to FM's Greatest Hits tonight, and Christine definitely says "bin" in "As Long as You Follow" -- "I've 'bin' searching. . . for a pot of gold."

Thanks for the thought. The only reason I began to notice this is because of the "bean" in "Friend." Obviously, as heard in the interviews, she continued to use "bean" when she spoke, even after all her years of living in the U.S. I guess I should go back and listen to her early (before she began living in the U.S.) materials to see if she sang "bin" or "bean."

I enjoy playing her three solo efforts randomly -- it's interesting to hear how her voice has changed, as well as the different musical styles ('60s blues, '80s pop, and '00s 'easy listening'). These differences are more apparent when the songs are heard randomly.
