battle of the accents...

[lyssie]

Or something.

The sad thing about this vote: http://www.tv.com/tv-awards/?page=26&cpage=1 ?

Jamie Bamber and Sophie Myles both pale in comparison to Hugh Laurie. And yet. Where the fuck are the Housefen?

Sophia Myles, though undeniably cute, has a terrible American accent.

She does. I cringed during the one episode of Moonlight that I suffered through. She and Claudia Black should give the idea up, really.

HIS IS. I love him as pie.

Hugh Laurie's accent does slip an awful lot, though - and he can't sing in an American accent.

I'll take your word for it. I guess this means Myles and Bamber are ten thousand times worse, though.

Who the heck is Ed Westwick?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

No idea.

[lizardbeth-j.livejournal.com]

I looked him up - he's on Gossip Girl.

Don't blame me, I voted for House.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Good. ;]

I have no clue who Ed Westwick is. Don't know who Sophie Myles is either.

Anyways, I voted for Hugh.

The suggestion that I would care enough to fix this vote just kills me given I couldn't pick Sophie out of a line up.

Yes, Hugh blows them all away hands down.

*yawn* Is there anything actually interesting going on? Porn or something?

Bamber and Laurie are the only ones I've ever heard talk. I've no idea who Myles or Westwick are.

Holy crap, Laurie only had about 3% of the vote when I checked it out. COME ON PEOPLE. Bamber's accent has gotten better over the years he's been on BSG, but it's still not as good as Laurie's.

Wow, I didn't know Westwick wasn't American, and hadn't even given it any thought...and crap, I just admitted to watching Gossip Girl. I now have to go hide in shame. XP

I haven't found any of their accents bad, but I did notice Bamber slipping up on occasion in the end of BSG season 3.

That said, House is the best.

And wait, how can Bamber's be an American accent? Since when is Apollo American?? Disqualification! ;)

How the hell is Bamber winning? He slips all the time.

Laurie is fantastic and he still manages to confound my mother every time she hears him speak in his normal accent on talk shows: "What? He's British? Since when?!?"

Seems you can vote more than once. He's now at 4%

and I've heard Sophie and the BSG guy.. and wth are these people thinking?
