Why does Sia sing with a strange accent?

Writer Christopher Lucas

When Sia sings, she pronounces words in a weird way — she sounds like she’s talking with her mouth full.

Other singers sing like that too.

Why did this become a thing?

Can singers cut this bullshit out and just sing in regular, clean English?

It's a late 2000s hipster thing. Cocorosie and Fever Ray sang like that too.

Doesn't Bjork sing like that too? I guess she's the one that started it.

Rufus Wainwright is another one with this same schtick. Lorde as well.

Well now we all know why she kept her face covered.

R6 Rufus is just a bad singer, plainly said. Good songwriter and musician, but he sounds like he lives with an 8-ball of coke in his nose.

Why does Mick Jagger sing like an old blues man? Affectation to fill in a performing persona. Eartha Kitt in that weird European accent. Billy Holiday in that heroin slump accent. ABBA in the bright American accent. Adriane Lenker in that weird crumbled French Canadian accent (she's from North Carolina I think).

The Show Biz.

R9 he sounds like he was classically trained but doesn't know how to change his voice for pop/modern music.
