Question about Freddie's accent

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.[/QUOTE]


Intresting that you say this munchsack...I actually liked his accent...thought it was sexy, a bit nerdy, and a bit mellow @ the same time...his voice sounded great when he talked to the audience in concert!!

It wasn't so much the accent, but the voice I found surprising.

Sometimes I can't understand what he's saying, im bad with accents.

I also find his accent fascinating..and quite hard to place. One thing's for sure, he certainly didn't speak with the same accent as his mother does! On the interviews I've seen with his sister, she seems to have a much more "standard" accent so maybe the boarding school did play a big part in shaping the rather "posh" tones he had.
Some accents are easy to recognise but I have no idea how someone born in Zanzibar and raised in India is "supposed" to sound!

Are you guys surious, Zanzibar was an english providence. His father was a member of the English government in Zanibar. Zanzibar was filled with English men.

:D

I lvoe freddies accent, very pretty!

Me, too, WhatMustHeThink.

Well I find it a curious accent too. I think it's heavily influenced by RP but I detect a bit of South African in the way he speaks, the vowel inflexions perhaps, and there is something oriental there too, in the vocal rhythm. Very peculiar I know. Rahter like an Old Colonial sepoy, shall we say.

To me its posh, fluent, and gentlemen like.
