Question about Freddie's accent

I know this is gonna sound silly,but please dont throw tomatoes at me, please!!! anyways:

I know Freddie wasnt born in Europe, he was born in Africa, if I'm not mistaken. I know after he was done with boarding school, he went to London for the art college. Whenever I hear him talk in interviews, concerts, etc, he sounds like he has a english accent. Was this the result of being in London for so long, that eventually, he developed a english accent...???

yes, also he had a slight lisp.

he had quite a good ear for sound, so he could pick on any accent he liked.

He sounds pure posh English doesn't he dears? I love his acent, so clear and easy to understand.

;-P

To me it doesnt have a TOTAL British accent.

his school had a heavy English influence as well apparently...

i love it when he sings and there's a word with the "ck" or "k" sound. He pronounces it w/ a "ch". Ya know what I mean? Like in live Under Pressure, he says "but it don't wor-ch". lol. I love it anyway. :D

I think Freddie speaks very nice... great voice. Also when he's just talking.

Perhaps his school in India had pure British English instruction... some people there (even if they're a minority) are too keen on RP. Likewise you find many people in Kenya and Uganda speaking even better than many Londoners.

Same in America, You'll find immigrants speaking better English then Americans...

But back on topic...

Freddie was very articulate, i could listen to him talk allllllllllll day... :D

haha he does say "ch" instead of "K" sometimes, i noticed that too, but i thought it was just me and my crazy mind... good catch... :D

I thought it was because of his bucky teeth

Freddie's voice, for me, has always sounded odd. His sining voice is so flexible and also very powerful, but when he speaks he sounds strange and nothing like how you'd imagine it would based on his singing voice.

Yeah, I agree. I was kinda shocked when I first heard him speak.

I always thought it was kinda deep.

I love his way of saying Rock´n´roll.. I heard it in an interview.. *drools*
