Talking Vs. Singing

Ok, so I'm listening to a radio interview with Ray Davies (from the Kinks). The guys out promoting a new solo record, fine. Great. But this guy is barely understandable. He's British, so the accent is thick...but I've never heard an accent this thick before. It's like Keith Richards...but I know what Keith's problem is (too many drugs, plus he's dead). What's weird is, they keep playing old Kinks songs and stuff from the new album (which is sounds really good, by the way) and when this guy sings, he sings near perfect English! Now what's up with that? How can you sing and sound perfect, and when you talk sound like shit? Does this guy have to concentrate when he's singing? He plays guitar too, so damn...the guy must have a million thoughts going through his head when he performs...

Just a weird thing that's been bothering me.
