Duffy confused by foreign accents

15th April 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Duffy thought French people were from another planet when she was little.

The Welsh singer first heard a French person speak when she was listening to the radio and singer dith Piaf came on. She was amazed by what she was hearing, and immediately thought aliens had taken over the airwaves.

La Vie En Rose by dith Piaf came on the radio when I was little and I thought it was from another planet. I was a little girl from a small town in Wales and hadnt ever heard anything in French! She has such a unique, enigmatic voice, Duffy recalled.

Not all Duffys musical tastes were quite as high brow when she was growing up though. She developed a love of British boyband Ultimate Kaos and listened to their track Some Girls repeatedly.

I bought the single for 99p when I was seven, after having a dream, that I was going to marry the lead singer, Haydon, she explained to Company. I only listened to it a few times, before realising he wasnt going to be my husband, then I lost interest. (C) Cover Media
