Whoa-oh, we're halfway there! And here's Bon Jovi to mark the occasion.

Expect a special halfway report later this week or start of next.

Surely she doesn't talk like that! I've never heard ANYONE talk like that except as a jokey put-on accent. I will make enquiries though.

do we know if fergie talks like that too?

That's a good point... Does it matter? Is it alright to put on a voice when singing eg the Bedingfields? Is there a difference between feigning Cockney for effect and feigning mid-Atlantic blandness to eliminate it?

As I've said, Fergie's mangled enunciation heightens the emotion of the song for me. How does Nash's mockney accent serve her song at all?

(and it IS put on, I have had confirmation now from someone who's spoken to her)
