Brummie accent
she may have had a Brummie accent when she was younger but, along with the other Brits, I don't hear that now. Just as I said before a touch of northern every now and then.

Christine does have traces of a Birminmgham accent but it's very subtle...
It's interesting to note that in every area of the UK there are people with very strong accents and others that are less pronounced.. I grew up in Manchester but I don't believe my accent is overly strong, unlike for example Liam Gallagher of Oasis who grew up about 10 miles from myself. His voice is typical Manc. Take Slash of Velvet Revolver too. He spent the first 11 years of his life in Stoke On Trent (very, very close to where I was born) and yet all I hear is California in his accent. Yet Robbie Williams, again from Stoke, has a classic local accent. So I think it's more environmental really. I remember reading somewhere that accents are affected by air pressure and climate too, which is why they vary from region to region. Brummie is very strong, as are the voices of Scousers (Liverpool and Merseyside), Geordies (Newcastle and Gateshead), Cockneys (London). Plus you can get very pronounced Cornish (Cornwall) and Scottish too. Some of the Glasgow accents really do take a trained ear to decipher. |

I've met a number of Brits from various areas of England and noticed their different accents...I did not know, however, that the Burmmie accent was so ill-regarded. Funny: I always considered CM's accent classy and charming. But then, I'm from Rochester, NY, home of the flat vowel.

Really! That's so interesting. Yeah, if a true Brummie accent can be found in Ozzy, I can see why there'd be as stigma. But even his (speaking) voice has a lot of character.
