BEDINGFIELD: 'I CAN'T WAIT FOR NON-COCKNEY SINGING'

British singer NATASHA BEDINGFIELD has urged her peers LILY ALLEN and KATE NASH to ditch their strong London singing accents. The These Words star - who currently lives in the U.S. - admits she longs for the return of performers with "normal voices"; something she believes is a classic singing style and deserves a comeback. She says, "When I was in England last year it was all about girls with Cockney accents - Lily Allen and Kate Nash. It's all inspired by people like (U.K. rappers) The Streets and Dizzee Rascal. "I liked it but I'll be happy when normal voices come back."
