[Smt-talk] Looking for bad text settings

[Channan Willner]

Handel quite beautifully accentuates English phrases in a way that to us
sounds unconventional:

E.g.. CHAriTAble in

and FOR (as if it were Four) in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owcn6fgYwpw

And Olivia Newton-John sings HorizontaLLYY and MentaLLYY in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWz9VN40nCA

That was before such mispronunciation became common in today's popular
repertoire.
