Why don't Americans sound British but Australians do?
I am assuming the OP is either American or any other nationality other than British or Australian thus making the OP hasn’t been exposed to British and Australian a lot.Because I assure you, British and Australian people will almost never mistake an accent. Especially when the British hear an Australian accent, they know it right away, vice versa. Australians sound Australian and British sound British ( I know there’s no such thing as British accent but for the sake of this answer, you know what it means). No one in Australia or the UK thinks Australians sound British. No one.British people are very familiar with Australian and American accent, Australians are very familiar with British and American as well, because they both import each other’s culture via media/family/friends, but sadly it’s not the case for Americans. Americans really have to make an effort to hear (types of) British or Australian accents. Just because USA is so far apart culturally from the UK and Australia, coupled with the fact that USA is massive and mainly enjoys its own media.Therefore, Americans lack the sensitivity or the ability of distinguishing the accents between British or Australians. At best, the average Americans only have the impression that all the British sound like the queen or all Australians sound like Steve Irwin, which is not the correct representation of their accent.If you keep listening to both accents constantly, you’ll be able to distinguish the accent eventually. And from there, after you developed the ability to hear the differences, you can actually hear that there are heaps of British accents from Mancunian, Scouse, Geordie to Bristolian, etc. Although Australian accents have less variety, you’ll be able to hear that Queenslanders actually sound different than South Australians.
What Is The True Meaning To Rihanna's Song " Umbrella " ?
Well, I personally don't think it has to do with the love between her & a lover because the words just don't make sense . Like for instance this verse : These fancy things, will never come in between You're part of my entity, here for Infinity “You’re part of my entity” is very relevant here because “entity” is not a word in the vocabulary used between loved ones. Nobody will say to his/her lover “You’re part of my entity”. An entity is not human. An entity is something that has a distinct, separate existence, though it need not be a material existence. I personally think she's talking about the devil possessing her. If you look at the video, when Jay-z is raping, there is a total of six girls dancing around him . The part where Rihanna is wearing the white dress, the silver liquid hits her a total of six times . At the end when she's singing in all black, there are six guys dancing around her . And that triangle thing that she's sitting inside when she's in all silver, that has more meaning to it also .

What is a song similar to Disturbia-Rihanna which is a good dance track?
I consider Disturbia - Rihanna to be an awesome dance track. I make sure the DJ plays it at least once at every party. Can someone recommend music which is similar, cuz I'm having a lot of problems with finding good dance music that isn't just techno or electric noise. Some of my other favourites are Rise Up, Numa Numa, World Hold On, Calabria (just to give you a better idea on what type I like). Would be really grateful for suggestions.
Why is ASP.NET so widely used in Melbourne, Australia?
It's unique to Australia (a small market, dominated by small business, who are dominated by technology suppliers like Microsoft). Globally, it's very different: Github’s Most Popular Coding Languages Show Open Source Has Won
What's the meaning of Sia's Chandelier song?
The video makes sense only with the lyrics. And I know it's hard to concentrate on the lyrics while watching the video. So I suggest that you listen to lyrics first.The song talks about people with drug, alcohol addiction. “Party girls don't get hurt” means that once you have enough alcohol in your system, it numbs your senses. Which is actually true. Maddie Ziegler (the dancer) portrays a girl high on alcohol.Initially, you can see her doing crazy stuff in the video depicting foolish and mindless things drug/alcohol addicts do. Such things may hurt them and they may regret it the next day but since thoer senses are numbed, it doesn't matter at that moment.“1 2 3 , 1 2 3 drink” is when Maddie gulps down invisible shots obliterating her bad memories. As we come in to chorus, the dance steps are nothing but personification of the song lyrics.The girl is sad and just going through her life living one day at a time. She is scared and unhappy. ( I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes, keep my glass full until morning light) She wants alcohol to take all of her pain away.The rest od the song as I said earlier is just enacting the lyrics.The creepy end where Maddie bows three times MAYBE the loner girl challenging the viewer/listener to dare come in her life and help her. I say DARE because the girl thinks that nobody in his or her sane mind would like to interact and engage in such a complicated and depressing life.NOTE: I'm not sure about the last para.PS: Maddie Ziegler does lyrical dance in the video. If you need help understanding the lyrics, feel free to ask me.
How does Sia rank vocally compared to artists like Rihanna, Beyonce, Mariah Carey?
Sia is a very gifted and talented artist. She even writes songs for Rhianna and Beyonce. She has unbelievable range as shown in 'Chandelier'. Her only setback might be her diction, which is slurred and incoherent. I'd say she has one of the best vocals in pop music. Ariana Grande is a great singer too. Though, her songs are so-so and she tends to be a little too breathy. She was once on Broadway in the Musical "13". Lady Gaga is amazing too. Though, she hasn't done too much lately. She was classically trained, like Grande. Mariah Carey was once a gifted singer, though her voice is pretty burned out - as shown in the infamous "All I Want for Christmas" performance. I also think she now lip-syncs as well.Katy Perry is a good singer...in the studio. She sounds great in recordings, but live she is very weak. She has great people writing her songs (including Sia). But, I think Sia truly does have the best voice in Pop. She has a raspy, rough sound too her voice. And she cracks all the time. On most people this would be considered a terrible voice, but these 'flaws' are what make her voice so unique and beautiful. Her cracks give her voice so much character. She can belt like nobody's business, and writes her own stuff. So yes, Sia has the best voice in Pop Music today.
Did you see pictures of Rihanna's beaten bloody face?
Yes i did, i also think its awful that she is taking him back. What kind of example is she setting to young girls. She is showing them that its okay a man beats you, then apologizes and you take him back. Unbelievable.
