True or Lie: I faked an American accent to interview Lady Gaga, AJ Odudu - BBC

[@martinsmith8670]

I'm surprised that at no point did they ask her to do the accent

[@MexieMex]

That probable would have ruined the 'joke'

[@Ziggyziggy1]

[@garruscuriosity9791]

I want all new show where people from Blackburn only talks what has been demolished.

[@deependmashups8715]

(SPOILER ALERT) I knew this was a lie because Lady Gaga in the earlier days of her career, was a regular guest on Jonathan Ross's show. And no offence to Wossy but if she could decipher as easily as she did what he had to say to her, I'm sure talking to AJ would have been easy enough.

[@pixiestxNyomouf]

[@guitarmatricide4834]

As an American, I can verify what Lee said as true. Most Americans have absolutely no idea about different English regional accents. You can basically chalk it up to Americans having a notoriously bad ear for accents and dialects… The only reason I know about it is because I watch a lot of British shows and movies and most Americans remain pretty insular when it comes to entertainment.

[@andraspongracz5996]

I don't get it: they figured it out! They agreed that her accent was very easy to understand, and there is no way someone would have difficulty with it. Sometimes decision-making is so random on this show.

[@jietroraximoff2805]

1:11 The clear irony/hypocrisy of Rob stopping discussion about Blackburn seeing as he starts rambling about the glory of Wales whenever Rhod Gilbert or Alex Jones are on.

[@seanglaze7284]

Would be a tad different if all Rob discussed was Port Talbot. (But I'll add that I enjoyed the chat about Blackburn)

[@TimForTheWin12]

It was an obvious lie. She said on the card that the agent told her she wouldn't understand, but then says she started the interview in her normal voice.

[@shakes1026]

Lady Gaga is around 5 ft 2, its the title of her documentary. I knew it was a lie

[@GayBennyyy]

i mean to be fair to AJ, lady gaga does usually wear like 6 inch heels everywhere she goes

[@ManofMode]

That's funny I was born in Blackburn Queens Park Hospital and they pulled down our old house. How much of a dump is Blackburn? Well my mum and dad paid £80 for that house back in 1970. They got £800 for it from the council when it was pulled down and couldn't believe their luck. I love AJ's accent. My dad moved us to another dump Bradford, partly citing his dislike of the Lancastrian accent as a reason. Needless to say my father and I never got along. Live in North Yorkshire now but every time I visit Lancashire it's like coming home. ❤

[@Nunununo]

£80 for a house? Crazy times 😂

[@Someone-or3yr]

The demolition conversation though

[@sarahashun1180]

😂🤣😂😆Love, Love, Love! This is one of my favourite shows on TV. Simple concept, but it’s absolutely excellent. Always has me in fits of laughter, a truly great show🤗🤗🤗

[@richbuilds_com]

The simple ones are always a winner - look at Taskmaster (simple concept, but it must be a hell of a job coming up with the tasks!) or Qi, etc. Put smart/funny/entertaining people in front of a camera and let them get on with it ;-)

[@paulgray1318]

Her accent is lovely, has edge of honestly about it. For me, having to change your accent to appease somebody else is pandering to a fake disability that fuels discrimination, however trivial it may seem. Still, had they got a translator in, that would of been more honest and yet been more clearer cut for what it is.

[@richbuilds_com]

The further north you go the more honest they get in my experience. (Unbiased Yorkshireman speaking ;-) )

[@TheTruthKiwi]

Thanks for the thesis Paul :p

[@andraspongracz5996]

I wouldn't use the word "appease". As a non-native speaker, I can assure you that some accents are much easier to understand than others. I have less and less trouble with this issue as I experience more and more different accents (e.g., by watching shows like wilty), but it is a problem for many people whose first language is not English. Also, speaking about disability and discrimination, not everybody is equally apt in learning foreign languages. English became the "common tongue", we are the ones who have to make the big effort to learn your language. Do you really think it is fair to ask us to also get used to all kinds of accents, as well? It is far more reasonable to ask the English speaker to adjust a little and go easy on the accent.

Mel B? I thought it might have been her as I'm not that familiar with these celebrity people.

[@martinsmith8670]

I’m Canadian and I can confirm all these accents sound the same to me.

[@Lauren_3000]

Can you tell the difference between AJ and someone like David?

[@ej-miranda]

I’m assuming AJ has a very strong accent because she does kinda sound different, but not enough for me to not be able to understand her. She sounds similar to Mel B to me. Lee, David, and Rob all sound the same to me and if I met them on the street I would assume it was just a generic English accent. The only UK accents that are easily identifiable to a Canadian ear are Scottish (a really strong one like Kevin Bridges is very difficult to understand) and Irish which is actually very similar to a Canadian accent!

What is the point of her

[@tatianasolsrud9077]

Lady Gaga is incredibly smart. She’s one pop star who has always been incredibly vocal and conscious in her interviews. That one lady is incredibly false.

[@vlad3k]

incredibly means not credible.... is lady gaga that smart that it is not credible ? .. maybe, because i sure don't believe it :))

[@emdiar6588]

Let me get this straight... You're such an overly-defensive Ga Ga fan that you're accusing someone who is playing a game, the object of which is literally to deceive your opponents, of being incredibly false? Isn't that the entire point of the game? Also, I would think being 'vocal' and 'conscious' is the very minimum one might expect from an interviewee. Who wants to interview an unconscious mute person?

[@GayBennyyy]

@@emdiar6588 ikr, they deffo dont get the show. I'd have to assume they arent from britain and don't understand our humour or something. also the way they said 'that one lady' came off just a little rude, in trying to defend their stan celebrity they fully disrespected another.
