Hi
Can anybody here try to explain me the way they speak? I always wonder how they sound to english-speaking people (yes, I know, I just haven't anything better to do than wonder about irrelevant details). The only thing I know, is that I just can't understand when Freddie's speaking.

Freddie has a very English accent, in my opinion. There are touches of something else in there, but it's mainly a very posh southern accent.

As a Brit I can say that Freddie had a very well spoken English accent, he actually sounded posh/camp at times. I find him very clear and easy to understand.

yes there are bits of Persia(iran)/Zanzibar in there as well as Surrey (England)...but i think the greater part of his accent is Indian

I think Brian has a very Londoner accent.

Roger i'm guessing has a Norfolk accent.I could be wrong.

John? I'm not sure.A bit posh Midlands,i think.

John can't say his r's quite properly.

I heard Rod Stewart on the radio the other day and thought it was Rog.
