Very nice video. As an American, I wished you would’ve gave examples of people that we would know. The only two people I knew, were Michael Caine & Russell Brand. I would guess that 98% of Americans, have never heard of Mary Berry, nor Billy Piper. (& and I personally do not know of Stormzy) (maybe because I’m a child of the 80s)
Thanks but the video is more about the accents than the people. However, my latest one is about George Michael's accent ua-cam.com/video/5LJUBSxJ-5k/v-deo.html
@ Thanks for your reply. Yes, I know the video is about the accents, But you’d attract more viewers from the tremendously large American audience, if you had people in there that we would know. - There are hundreds of British people us Americans know, there’s gotta be a few with every accent that we can relate to. I can see if you’re doing a video on the Welsh accent because pretty much the only two people from Wales that us Americans, know would be Tom Jones and Catherine Zita jones - I’ll check out your George Michael accent video soon.
Very nice video, as an American, I wish someone could explain to me how “Almost” all British people sound American when they sing, I still don’t understand that phenomenon) - The only British songs/artist that don’t sound American, when they sing, would be the Proclaimers, Billy Bragg, Johnny Rotten, Squeeze, “Cool for Cats” song, “Always look on the bright side of life” song, & “I’m Henry the eighth“
@ Thank you very much for your reply. You did such a good in-depth work with this video. & I appreciated you replying back to me, But I was hoping your reply, would’ve been somewhat more than brief blurb. - I’m not l so curious about the (few) British people that sing with a British accent (apparently from what you’re telling me the Arctic Monkeys do)(which they are not very well known here in America) - I’ve been wondering for 40+ years of how come when British people sing, they sound American? So you may could disregard the examples i gave in my original post (of the few British artist that most of us Americans know that sing with a British accent) - I’m very curious to know if you could explain this phenomenon (to us ) of how (& why) they do most lose their accent? - After all you, guys invented the English language. Us Americans were just a colony. But when so, many British people sing, they sound like us Americans. - If you could explain that phenomenon to me that would be greatly appreciated - For example, when I first heard the song “Tempted” by squeeze, I would’ve assumed that was American singing But if I hear the song “Cool for cats” that’s obviously someone British singing. How do (most) magically lose their accent only when singing?
I went to London for the first time in 2022. I didn't have any problem to understand the English. However, when I was on the underground or in the streets, I heard some people speaking in Cockney accent I think. This one is harder to make out haha!
Cockney accent is the dog's bollocks, the best thing since sliced bread, sunshine. I've to go and see a man about a dog. Catch you later guv'nor. GREETINGS FROM CASABLANCA MOROCCO ❤

If, like the Stones, you do bluesy music, then it fits the vibe. Right? Add Arctic Monkeys to British sounding.

Very nice video. As an American, I’m somewhat clueless on these accents. Is the MLE accent, (grouping) analogous to the common black American accent?
It combines the generic London accent with different cultural backgrounds - Asian, Jamaican and so on.

Indeed so and full of colloquialisms of course
Watched a couple of your videos and I'm still struggling to place the accent of UA-camr Will Harlow (HT Physio - Over-Fifties Specialist Physio)
His accent is similar to mine I'd say a mild SSBE accent
I love British accents, especially youtuber Lia Hatzakis. Can you let me know which one accent she speaks?
SSBE
With so many indians and hong kong people living in London, I would say the 2 major spoken english accents in London are indian and hong kong accents.
Ok thanks for that
What are you talking about? Most of the old gen Indians have moved out of London and I haven’t seen anyone from Hong Kong in London
I prefer received pronunciation. Conservative received pronunciation.
Ok
I feel like Billie Piper is Estuary. Can't see much difference between SSB and Estuary
Well they do merge at some point
Cockney accent is the dog's bollocks, the best thing since sliced bread, sunshine.
I've to go and see a man about a dog. Catch you later guv'nor.

The Cockney accent is indeed a diamond geezer, but sadly the yoof of today aren't speaking it
