This is awesome, I think. Backing vocals could be better but it's still great.

I'm more a fan of latex, myself. Hope that answers your question. Move along. Bye bye!

Mr. Mister's MTV Spring Break concert from 1986. Listened to the whole thing on YouTube. Here's just one of the seven songs, any of which I would have posted. One of the few brands I really like that isn't British. Chose this one just because the intro is so damn cool. Of course, I'm fairly confident that Richard Page is being backed by vocalists that aren't there, but it's still good stuff in my opinion.
Other stuff, all YouTube:
Simple Minds - "Speed Your Love/C Moon Cry Like a Baby" live in 1984 - I hate that this band had already fallen by the time I was even born, let alone old enough to go to a show, if they were to ever perform in the U.S. which they haven't done since they completely geared their music toward the U.S. market with "Once Upon a Time."
Tears For Fears - "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" extended - 10 minute version of the song I'd never heard before. I have no idea why it wasn't on the deluxe re-release of "Songs from the Big Chair" they did relatively recently.
Okay, last one, that I feel like I've posted before: A-ha - "Never Never" - a demo that eventually became "The Sun Always Shines on TV."

A little snippet of beautiful music production from the electronic-side. For fans of experimental/EDM style-stuff Talabot's 'ƒin' is a must-buy. One of the most interesting full-lengths of the year so far. Stick with it - and make sure you have a good sound-system/headphones or it's not worth listening.
I run a new music website.

"General music" question:
Why do many British singers from many different eras sound British when speaking, but American when singing? It blows my mind.

Why do many British singers from many different eras sound British when speaking, but American when singing? It blows my mind.
Indeed, it's a good question. Interestingly I sound English when I speak, but American when I type.
I also find it interesting that in many ways, Britian still leads the international music scene and yet our TV shows are not even in the same ball park as many American equivalents. Specifically I think of E.R. versus our apalling version 'Casualty'. It make me cringe more than watching a toddler trying cross a busy road.
On your question; it must be some sort of subliminal intonation in order to gain American acceptance and therefore ultimate popularity. Although the British accent can be charming in some situations (like in 'Four Weddings and A Funeral) in others it can seem down right annoying, cheesy and naive. Imagine Cypress Hill rapping in an English accent; (in the most English accent possible) "When the sh!t goes down, you had better be ready"......
Equally though (and to disagree with myself and therefore make my whole point worthless) some British rappers sound great. A favourite of mine is a Londoner called Skinnyman. The rawness of his accent combined with his subject matter is a very pwerful combination and works beautifully, in my view.
Exploring the theory deeper; maybe singing in an American accent makes it easier for the singer to remove themselves from reality and enter the world of what they might be singing about. No one likes hearing their own speaking voice; maybe hearing yourself be 'you' for Brits is a bit too cringeworthy.

You've inspired me to go check if that's on Spotify. Like so many other British new wave bands, I enjoy a lot of Ultravox's material (I also like some of the related Visage's stuff, too)...didn't realize they were still doing stuff.

I was awake at 2am this morning and went through pretty much all of this thread from the start. Makes interesting reading (well, it did for me anyway).
It was also a brutal reminder of some of the posting talent we have lost over the last five years.
