Mika4Life13 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Whoa. I have no idea what you're saying in your post. What's this about "About" and "Aboot"? I get "Aboot" is someone's accent when saying "about" but...what? We're trying to see if we actually say aboot like people say we do, which is actually, positively FALSE.

CazGirl Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I have only ever heard one Canadian in my life say "aboot". I so don't get it. Although some guy in California heard my cousin say she was spending her day "out and about" and he thought she said "out on a boat." Which is funny, 'cause the California accent is only subtly different from ours. I think next time I'm in London I'ma fake a British accent everytime I go into a Starbucks or something. See if anyone calls me on it. I'd teach you how to do a British accent but, even though I'm British, I apparently can't even do that right and end up speaking Australian. What a fail to the British public I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember I talked to artsy on the phone and I was like "Oh my god, you have an american voice. :fangurl:" and she was like "YOU HAVE A CANADIAN VOICE!:wub2:" And it was great My friend is from london [ontario] and whenever she comes she talks in a british accent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika4Life13 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I hate to say this - but I watched a documentary about Canadian fishermen - and they all said "aboot" instead of "about" THATS BECAUSE THEY ARE FROM NEWFOUNDLAND. Like, not everyone in england has the same accent, not everyone in the U.S has the same accent, not everyone in Canada has the same accent, It's so stupid, why don't we count in on that, we're divided into maritimes, central and west coast, not to mention our northern provinces and territories.

mellody Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 i like it that mika gets to play the piano part, but would've thought someone like gary barlow would do it - i love mika's piano playing, but well, gotta admit that gary is somewhat better at it. but maybe mika thought of that "new orleans style" piano part himself? that would be cool! can't wait to hear the single and see the video! another thing i gotta buy when i get to the uk.

Louiza Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I think it's brilliant that he gets to play the piano in the song. That's an honour. In fact, I consider that more of than honour than singing. I mean, aren't Take That in this song too? Gary Barlow plays piano, but Mika's playing it instead.

I mean: he only sings one part, which has been recorded already, did he record the piano part too already? And will there be more instruments, or just a piano?

AnnaMariaPetra Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Mika overran his allotted time so James Morrison had to wait a while Each act came in one by one to stand at the single microphone in the voice booth in the middle of the relatively large studio, with that piano for Mika just off to one side.

Oh, and the post where I say "I consider that more of than honour than singing." was meant to say "more of an honour", not "than" I should concentrate more >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
