NCVS in the Kesha song.

The words "glove box", "got", "blah blah blah", "stop" etc. with a central [a] rather than the General American [A] I've noticed.

"stop ta ta talking that blah blah blah"

also "jukebox" is [a], though in 'tik tok', her "got" is rounded, which in NCVS i think would be [A]

some mentioned it was attributed to 'auto tune', but even then, its inconsistent. she's so weird P:

I don't know. She is so strange, and her accent is weird, she pronounces

1. BACK as [bek] (so Chicagoan ''I ain't comin' BACK'')
2. GOT as [gɒt] (rounded vowel, in ''you GOT me'')
very Valley Girl-ish

gawt (rounded vowel in GOT) at 2:16

also toes [t@uz] instead of [touz] so RP
hahahaha

Milton, as for [t@uz] - you know that there are some Londoners (from Inner part of the capital) who pronounce it just like in General American -> [touz]....

Though, [t@uz] instead of [touz] does occur in some regional american accents as well. definitely in the midlands, and in california
