After Azealia Banks aimed a series of racial slurs at Zayn Malik on Twitter on Tuesday, her week has gone from bad to worse as she was dropped from Rinse’s Born & Bred festival line-up a day later before reportedly becoming the subject of a Home Office investigation.

Now, according to FACT, it appears she has also been dropped by her UK booking agent, Primary Talent International. Her name has been removed from the agency’s roster on their website, whilst a visit to her artist page displays an error message. Primary Talent International have not yet confirmed that Banks has been dropped.

They are iconic, but old, and don't reflect the current market.

 

Also, side note, the thing about all these bands is that they sing with American accents, for the most part. They have to hide their true voices to be successful. British bands that sing with their true accents aren't very successful. 

 

Listen to The Wurzels, they have a strong accent and therefore they did poorly in the US:

 

 

1.First of all who da fuck cares.Still The UK produced those acts.

2.Coldplay and  Spice Girls ny2

David Bowie

Kate Bush

Leona Lewis

Elton John

Lily Allen

Annie Lennox

Spice Girls

Phil Collins

 

Don't you dare come for British artists. clap1 

 

Also, The Wurzels are a "scrumpy and western" genre band from England. That's not an international genre. It isn't because of their accents that they weren't popular, it's because, like country music for the US, they were local.

There are several reasons we notice accents ‘disappearing’ in song, and why those singing accents seem to default to “American”.   In a nutshell, it has a lot to do with phonetics, the pace at which they sing and speak, and the air pressure from one’s vocal chords.  As far as why “American” and not some other accent, it’s simply because the generic “American” accent is fairly neutral.  Even American singers, if they have, for instance, a strong “New Yorker” or perhaps a “Hillbilly” accent, will also tend to lose their specific accent, gravitating more towards neutral English, unless they are actively trying not to, as many Country singers might.

But you tried it. nat1
