[@dmitriwilder4862]

How does she Inherit a American Accent when she sings. Wtf

[@simgordon4208]

Dmitri Wilder cause when everyone sings they use their mouths the same way and therefore pronounce words the same

[@bmelamusic]

To be honest, the way Americans pronounce their words, vowels etc makes it easier to push the notes out in a controlled way. I don’t know why but it does. I sing in a mixture of both the British and American accent.

[@donttouchmychipotle9005]

Rihanna and Adele do the same 🤷🏾‍♀️
