but you don't REALLY want to know do you? this is just a kneejerk reaction to my own thread

British accent? erm, more specific? (ok American is pretty vague but i admitted i couldnt tell the difference a lot of the time)

but Vanessa Paradis and Francoise Hardy spring to mind for the French at least, for starters...

i dunno if Dolores of the Cranberries really sounded 'sexy' ever but she was certainly very Irish

Siobhan from the original Sugababes
Roisin from Moloko (on the subtler tracks like 'Caught In A Whisper')
Alison Goldfrapp on pretty much everything she's done
Martina Toppley-Bird (hey she's got a new song out you know)
Liz Fraser (duh)
PJ Harvey (big duh!)

see they're pretty predictable boring choices...hmmm...

A Brit (I think?) doing French. Exquisite.

Doris-Beatmaker(Swede) sexy in a dominant kinda way

Dude, I'm from America! Bummah!

How 'bout American singers what got southern accents (I am from Kentucky, after all)?

If that flies, then I'll say Alison Krauss.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 22:13 (twenty-three years ago)

You could vote for Sheena Easton. Dunno what way that actually would go, but hey, you could.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 22:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Isobelle & Sebastian. A lilting Glasgow accent to melt the hardest of hearts.

― Johnboy, Tuesday, 25 March 2003 22:36 (twenty-three years ago)

i can't answer this question because Australian accents in song sound FUCKED AND HORRIBLE

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 23:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Sophie Ellis Bextor sounds exceedingly Australian at times.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 23:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Them outta Ladytron.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 23:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Sexy English - has to be Sandy Denny. Pretty much anything she's sang on, but look at earlier Fairport Convention - mmmmmm!

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 11:27 (twenty-three years ago)

Solex is somewhat sexy, and she's Dutch!

― Orange, Wednesday, 26 March 2003 13:26 (twenty-three years ago)

The French bit in Visage's Fade to Grey was pretty sexy.

― russ t, Wednesday, 26 March 2003 13:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Sia has a sexy singing voice, its funny cos when she actually talks she has that classic high pitched Austalasian whine - she's totally purdy tho

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 13:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Anything by Ian Dury

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 18:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Oops. Didn't see the "female" word here. :-)

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 18:27 (twenty-three years ago)

one year passes...

Revive!
Who's sexy and foreign in 2005?

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Monday, 3 January 2005 13:13 (twenty-one years ago)

For Scottish, Adele from Sons & Daughters (she was also on some Arab Strap tunes) wins it. Her accent is stronger than Emma Pollock's, if not as sweet. But she sounds cool, imposing and sexy as hell.

I like the distinction between British and Scottish. Don't the Welsh count? Shirley Bassey!

pastels "firebell ringing"

― Turkey versus Eagle, McCauley is my Beagle (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 3 January 2005 13:20 (twenty-one years ago)

(ok, that's not 2005, but it answers the initial question)

― Turkey versus Eagle, McCauley is my Beagle (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 3 January 2005 13:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Anything by Ivy, or anything else with Dominique Durand involved.

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Monday, 3 January 2005 13:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Adele from Sons & Daughters ... sounds cool, imposing and sexy as hell

jesus christ, you should just go and hang about the barras market in glasgow on a saturday. you'll cream yourself.

i quite like S&D until they helped fuck up my new year's eve a little further with their honking set at optimo.
