The issue of the accent really has me up to my Xxx, what the hell does it matter! She has a British humour, she is super funny to this day in her shows. long live Sheena.
I don't understand people here commenting bad bout this beautiful warm hearted singer. Haters should be removed from here. It doesn't matter if she not speak scottish accent atleast she's got good heart. Learn to respect classic singers guys.
I came here because she played Annah in Planescape: Torment (1999). I gotta say her voice changed so much. Her voice was clear and sweet in the 80s, then turned deep and her accent thicker around 2000s. Which is kinda cool and sexy.
Scott Brandts You must also be proud of Shirley Manson. I think both are very good singers and sexy as hell. And I really love both of their pair of legs.
Her career in both English and Spanish speaking America was astonishingly successful. Her career in the UK was not nearly as respected or successful as she became in the US.
When asked if she wrote a letter to Prince - 3:43 secs - she protests that she did not! That's rather odd, given that she stated that she did, during an interview by Jonathan Ross (in the early 90's.) ua-cam.com/video/6qpl-9f2IoM/v-deo.html
Graham Norton asks Sheena if the rumor involving her and President Clinton were true. And @5:38 she said “I wish it had though! I would’ve said yes and I would’ve dry cleaned the dress and everything!”
You have to remember that it would be her management that would have told her that if she was going to be getting a lot of work in America then she would have to modify her accent so that American audiences could understand her. If the alternative was working around social clubs and working mens clubs of bellshill,wishaw, Motherwell etc there was only one choice for her to make really. 6:46
in another interview she admitted she would have dated Don Johnson after her stint on Miami Vice. I really believe she had the hots for him back when then.
I hope I never become famous one day and then be interviewed on TV 20 years later. People seem kinda... judgy in the future. It's all right... .That's one wish that'll most likely come true.
She lost a lot of favour here in Scotland as she lost her accent very quickly (i.e from the moment she moved to the States she became as American as apple pie). Scots took this to be insincere. She came bsck and played a big gig in Scotland in 1990 and got booed when she addressed the crowd in her acquired accent.
@@daybyday442 Funnily enough Calum, my late father was an old-school Glaswegian and he always hated Lulu for the same reason! And it pissed him off even more when she used to switch back to her Glasgow accent when it suited her.
I just watched a Tonight Show interview with her from I think 1989 and she talked the same way. I think it’s cute! She talks the way she talks, no need to shame her.
She has an affected American accent! I just checked and she didn't move to America until she was in her 30s so this accent is 100% cultivated ...yeow, cringefest!
Too much time in America; her accent is barely noticeable. I had a Scottish girlfriend for a number of years and think the accent on a woman is adorable.
I like a nice lilting Scots accent on a woman too, (Austalian is another story. That's a man's accent, baby.) but she's a US citizen and has lived more than half her life there.
@@mecha175 Like all in her field she is just out to sell a product, so best to keep her politics to herself. Why risk offending half the song buying population.
@@romaneros4583 That, or she can simply say what she wants and people that don't like it can deal with it. That is the way it should be. Anyone that gets offended by another person expressing their opinion should probably have a long talk with a good psychiatrist. While I tend to vote Democrat, I thought Clinton was disgusting. I also think trump is the most pathetic human on the planet. We don't live in North Korea. We can say what we want. I'm not gonna try to shut you up, and you most definitely wont shut me(or Sheena Easton) up.
Good ? Nah bubba it was GREAT !!! Top 5 in her era for sure. And versatile. She slayed that duet with Kenny Rogers putting other female artists to shame.
Sheena Easton has big commitment issues. Married and divorced 4 men, all divorced within 18 months period to each of them. Reading up about her over time, she may have mental health issues, bipolar? bordeline? When you have people, particularly a husband who is willing to move and take in children that is not his, and him being a successful businessman, to do what you required, move his business, should this not be a big sacrifice and be appreciated? Who knows, but she is not an example to follow in her real life outside of music. She seemed to make it big in her early 20's and admired her back then, but now I don't. She let the lime-light rule her life, instead of her rule the lime-light, like other celebrities.
OMG her accent is awful. Speak properly. I have a friend who has lived in America for a lot longer than her, but she still sound SCOTTISH. She doesn't try to speak with an American accent.
I know people that have lived here from other countries, and still have their accents. I wonder how hard it is for her to speak with an American accent constantly?
As you get older and face your own mortality, you need love and help. Hopefully, she will see how many stupid choices she made and how selfish she has been.
+Chris Williams YOU are exactly correct! YOU need to start investing in YOUSELF and quit commenting on what someone elses thinks!! Now get a life! ROFL
Oh, come on. Gillian Anderson lived in the UK for about two weeks when she was an infant and she still reverts to a Brit accent every time she passes the limes in a grocery store. Seriously, though, accents can change, and Sheena's lived in the US for decades.
This is awesome, thank you for uploading this video.
I love Sheena Easton with all my heart.
Total package! Beautiful person, with a Beautiful voice.
I met Sheena in MacDonalds in Southend.I went over to her to win a bet with a friend at the time .She was spotty , polite and with her mother.
she's adorable and a fantastic vocalist!
The issue of the accent really has me up to my Xxx, what the hell does it matter! She has a British humour, she is super funny to this day in her shows. long live Sheena.

I don't hate her I just hate the fake, put-on accent.
@@BaddaBigBoom whose to say its put on? She spent years living in USA by the time this interview was done.
@@romaneros4583 *who's

I didn’t know Prince wrote Sugar Walls but now that I know I can totally hear Prince’s influence. It really is his sound.
I love her self-deprecating, no BS sense of humor.
Has estado muchas veces en chile ,festival de viña del mar y casino ,te amamos
Brilliant show, all 3 of them hilarious.
Im 43 and I never knew the Graham Norton Show existed until a year ago. His shows are great much better than here in the states.
I love it when she hits those high notes.
Saw her live in Vegas in about 2002 .WONDERFUL!
Me too!! It was a great concert
She and Patrick Duffy -- that would have been a pair. Obviously two, simple, bright, gracious people.
She is tge ultimate!
God I'm in love! This woman makes me proud of my Scottish heritage.
One of the best and funniest interviews of hers I've seen.
Scott Brandts You must also be proud of Shirley Manson. I think both are very good singers and sexy as hell. And I really love both of their pair of legs.
Even though she has dropped her accent ? Fake
@@gop4usa12 ABSO-FRIGGIN'-LUTELY! Shirley is a gay man turner!!! Hot as fk! 🤤
This made me laugh!! ❤️💕💜
I would love to see the whole of this episode. My sister Cathy gave one of the audience stories
Sheena and Pat Duffy 😍
Don't mess with Sheena Easton.
his a great singer
I liked her Scottish accent. It had such a lyrical cadence.
What Scottish accent?
@@jackdubz4247 The one she had before she moved to the U.S.
I copped a feel at the Charlston in Bellshill, next to the Swimming Baths - Way back when!
in your fucking dreams pal .
She was known as the Sheena Orr - The Bellshill Bike back then!
@@frankkrank3970 I am the bathgate bike fancy a shot dolly x
lol @5:33, she's like "Stop talking about Prince!!"
Pinche edad que belleza era y ahora solo recuerdos
Her and Prince where knocking boots!!
Sheena is a hoot
❤she’s good fun 😊
Christ she's came a long way since the days in Bellshill! Bugger the 9 to 5 train to Glasgow Central.
She is gorgeous!!!!
She's afa funny. Graham as well. Even the guy from Dallas which is a village 10 miles away from where I was born in Elgin. 🤣
Her career in both English and Spanish speaking America was astonishingly successful. Her career in the UK was not nearly as respected or successful as she became in the US.
Patrick tried to pick Sheena up! 🤣 Work it Patrick!

I always thought the same, that there was a definite spark smouldering between them both 😏
Patrick and Sheena would make a nice couple
Sometimes you got to say,what the hell shoot your shot,I hear you Aqua man.
hello its me :)
I hope I never become famous one day and then be interviewed on TV 20 years later. People seem kinda... judgy in the future. It's all right... .That's one wish that'll most likely come true.
WOW what an introduction!!
Que edad tenía aquí Sheena?
Those hunky men!
I can hear her accent come back a bit
Where is she from ? Is she English or American ? Not familiar with her accent .
She is Scottish
She is Scottish but has lived in the USA for 30 years or more
She is Scottish but is faking an American accent.
She is Scottish but is ashamed of it and has her fake American accent
LOL... plus...Patrick Duffy
|"m just gonna pretend I'm the "gay" producer until she sits on my lap at the piano.
Her Scottish accent in earlier interviews looked and sounded a lot more down to earth, easy going and relaxed than her cultivated american.
oh dear
Have you seen the Zthis Morning interview from 3 years ago, even more different. Reminds me of Kohn Barrowmans Scottish/American
Still a hottie in 2000.
Boby Ewing is self-conscious
Extremely disrespectful, and rude to her beauty and talent. She handed them well.
maybe disrespectful is sing about what should be hidden, in order to get it to the mainstream.
Those shows are scripted.
@@warrax111 maybe you are embarrassed and think yours should be hidden but others have confidence and pride.
@@jacksplace6544 lol, so wrong.
Neither does Roma Downey when it is needed to be. I know Roma is not Scottish but same concept.
She should have continued her career in music!
She is singing in Las Vegas this April coming
955pokerface no one should be tortured with that
@@IBIZABIKE haha okay point taken! Lol just saying she could’ve been like Madonna and Cher
@@IBIZABIKE , what are you talking about? Sheena is awesome.
@@colinmontgomery1956 ha ha ,its all false she's nothing
Is it true, the Scottish don't like Her? Or is that the media talking?? Anyone?
Think thats true, i literally come from the same town shes from and my gran said that she always thought she was too good for us

I am Scottish and I think her early success went to her head and she then faked an American accent.
Totally agree I'm scottish and cringing at her new American accent!
Gillian Brown It's not NEW if she was influenced by many years in the USA. It would happen to anyone.
I just watched a Tonight Show interview with her from I think 1989 and she talked the same way. I think it’s cute! She talks the way she talks, no need to shame her.
You would love my accent hen. Im an ex scot who lives in mancs and sound like a cross between Michael Gove and Liam Gallagher!!!
Yep, she cultivated a phoney American accent (IMO). I'm Scots too.
She has an affected American accent! I just checked and she didn't move to America until she was in her 30s so this accent is 100% cultivated ...yeow, cringefest!
Forget her accent. If you can't stand her accent then don't watch this video. Haha
...but it's fascinating to witness the phoneyness!

Lost all respect for her when she said she'd do Bill Clinton.
I doubt she has ever been or will ever be, out to earn your respect.

@@mecha175 exactly!
Good voice, but her hits sound so dated now, with the 80's production.
I like them. The issue is that the electronic gizmos they used are all really old now. Still the 80's sound is what appeals to me.
Good ? Nah bubba it was GREAT !!! Top 5 in her era for sure. And versatile. She slayed that duet with Kenny Rogers putting other female artists to shame.
Her voice is so timeless
dosent look like her
yep dont really look like her but she has the voice of her so i would say its her
One of her husbands was a plastic surgeon

What accent is Easton attempting? Shameful scenes.
Never liked her, very overrated. Her star soon faded when the likes of Kylie came along and pushed her out.
