small h Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Do we not have this thread anymore? Can I just not find it? Anyway, my question is this: How do you pronounce Charli XCX? Like, Ex See Ex? Or something else? I don't want to embarrass myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 It’s kind of a guttural back-of-throat sound, kind of thing the Dutch are good at. But what most people miss is that Charli is pronounced with a hard C and long I, like Carleye. So, “Carleye-phlegmy hack,” can’t really go wrong.! Huge fan as you can tell. And very brat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakeater Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 1. Lilly Allen's songs weren't meaningless and neither are Charli XCX's. 2. There's something wrong with meaningless pop songs anyway? 3. Suddenly you can't do anything that has anything in common with something that was done before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course; it's all been done before, I have no problem with that. And I liked Lily Allen very much. I just found her music to be more approachable for me.

MitchW Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Let's just say my taste leans a little more Hinds than Charli. Or, I'm not quite as erudite as some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
