I don't think singing in your native tongue counts as an accent.
If we knew enough to distinguish between the accents of various parts of Germany, maybe
Like in Spanish there are singers who very clearly sound Argentinian (Vicentico), Colombian (Carlos Vives), Puerto Rican (Bad Bunny), Spanish (Alejandro Sanz), etc.
and then there are also singers who sound more generically "neutral" (Diego Torres, Ricardo Arjona, Ricky Martin)
I'll throw in Café Tacvba for the Mexican AF category.

I get what you mean, Jorge, but Spanish is the primary language in, what, 20+ countries? And that's across multiple continents. Of course the accents are going to differ greatly.
Ain't nobody here listening to Rammstein and going "Oh yeah, that's totally a Western Pomeranian accent. For sure".
Fuckouttahere.

It's the same everywhere. Like in Norwegian, many singers use a neutral Oslo-like dialect when singing. Others use their local (often much broader) accent.

where is Tim Armstrong from and why is he the only person who talks/sings like that?
