Anyone else wonder where Leona Lewis' British accent goes when she sings about how she keeps bleeding, keeps-keeps bleeding love?
She does too, actually. "I’ve always sang that way," she told me. "My accent is much more prominent when I speak. I was classically trained so the vowels that I sing are much more open because I think it has a better sound."
But she also says it could be that so many of her musical influences -- like Mariah Carey -- were American.
