Because unless you make an effort to do otherwise, singing is "accent neutral" regardless of your native language. English vowels sound the same no matter where you are from, and when you sing, you sing the vowels phonetically. And because speech and singling are controlled by different parts of the brain, it's very easy to sing in English without an accent. The members of ABBA, for example, couldn't speak English well enough to order lunch at Taco Bell, but they sang in nearly flawless English. Choral music you can also completely understand, even if it's 150 singers all from different countries, because they're singing phonetically.

Anyone who sings in an accent usually does it on purpose and with great effort. They are also bending vowels, and bending the musical notes (adding new notes that's not part of the music), same as when they talk.

Roight govnah. I luv to lick me lolly on the trolley. :D

I knew Turtle would come to the rescue, Thanks:)
