A big full size scan of the photo with the rose covering her mouth is a must!!

Yeah, I don't get people complaining that she's trying to sound American. Don't we all try to sound like native speakers when learning a foreign language? At least that's the goal for me, to sound as natural as possible.

Oxford Received Pronunciation is the native accent of the English language.

if you are referring to me, i'm not complaining. i am wondering. everyone seems to miss my point.

I AM SAYING SHE HAS NOT TALKED WITH THIS ACCENT BEFORE. i am wondering why she pronounce words like this now? it's not complaining imo

her pronouncing like this is not a problem. i am just curious.

Reminds me of Guilty/CDL 7-8 hair style! I just loved that one!!! It's just on the same length now but still! *-*

But would trying to sound British or Australian be less awkward? Lol I think it'd be the same

Also, at least in japanese public schools, English is american based.

Interesting to know! I mean imo british English looks more beautiful but I sometimes (not the best thing I know) put some american words in here and there. Like I never used jumper but always pullover etc..

This is def one of her fiercest photo shoots

And...? Each person is going to imitate the accent they learned, most likely the accent their teacher has or the one they listen to the most in daily life.

Oh, I know, but I wanted an additional shot in the magazine as opposed to just that cover.

I find it very weird that I actually like the wet hair look in this photoshoot. XD

[Nu-NRG]

OMG she's stunning and is it just me but I'm getting a very strong Madonna vibe especially the black/white and the one with her back facing us.
