I could keep naming singers with British accents 'til the cows come home but it'd prob get boring so I wont. sweatdrop
Anyway, you say British and European artists dont have a noticable accent, but do American singers? Maybe there's just one universal accent for all singers, doesnt necessarily mean it's American

Seeing as I'm Canadian that kind of accent is natural here, to rephrase it why do foreign singers have noticable foreign accents?

I think accents are definetely noticeable if someone is singing in a language that isn't their first language, but I don't really have any examples.

None of the Brit singers I've heard have very noticeable accents except for maybe when it comes to the word "granted" which I often hear as "graaahnted".

diomedesofcrete Ive always wondered that. I suppose Lily Allen has a slight accent when she sings.
I'm starting to wonder if maybe all the different British accents are more noticable to me because I'm British question

Nah, I hear them too.
The Immediate (U_U) sang with a distinct Irish accent. Well, on some of their songs.
Also, the Vines. He sings with a very very noticeable Ozzy accent.
And, I'd agree, the View, you could cut the Scottish accent, it's so thick. lol
EDIT:: The Wombats, "Kill The Director". Clearly an english accent.
Though, I will say this, I thought the Killers were English when I heard "Mr. Brightside" first.

The Arctic Monkeys have a pretty sweet Yorkshire accent. But anyone who's watched Eurovision knows that most accents disappear when they take to the mike.

Is it sad that I got excited to hear someone else talking about The Wombats? I love those boys whee Shame they dont sound scouse though (they dont really sound that scouse when they talk let alone when they sing)

Well, I'unno.
I've noticed that singers like Corinne Bailey Rae have somewhat noticeable accents when they sing...

I have an accent, and when I sing people can't really tell where I'm from. I guess, it's because I grew up listening to music and (unless it was from Italy) it all sounded the same, in terms of accent. I think this is becoming less and less common, but it's a great question. I must say that when I have tried to sing with my natural accent, (Australian), it always ends up sounding really harsh and not easy on the ears at all!

xXx White Lily xXx Is it sad that I got excited to hear someone else talking about The Wombats? I love those boys whee Shame they dont sound scouse though (they dont really sound that scouse when they talk let alone when they sing) Their accent is very noticeable to me ... erm, scouse? I'd like to point you to Bell X1 on the other hand, when Paul sings 'arse' and bits and pieces on Alphabet Soup, you can distinctly hear his Kildare-ish accent. Same with bits of Damien Rice. It just depends on if you've heard them enough to identify them.

Contagious Cure Not sure... Swedish singers sorta have an accent in their vocals... but other than that... yeah. French, English, German... no accent in my opinion. It's likely because their music schools all follow the same vocal training training techniques where everyone is expected to strive towards the "standard accent". Not sure really but that's my guess.
Anyway, I think you can hear quite well where The Beatles are from, can't you?

 . . . { infinite for a moment } ;I think the best example of a vocalist speaking with one accent and singing with another is Ozzy Osbourne. Honestly, when he is just talking I almost can't understand him because of his accent, but when he is singing he is perfectly understandable.
