Incidentally, why don't you just listen to the way Bruce pronounces it in Out of the Silent Planet? It's not the same as the guy in the vid, but it's also not the same as in the Oxford links.
Have to say I was not overly impressed with the song either because as you said, didn't think it fit the singers voice.
Naturally there are Canadians on this forum who would be better to comment but I can't say I ever considered their pronunciation to be different from the english I'm used to either >.>
This is probably completely irrelevant to this discussion, but there's more than one UK pronunciation of 'a'. Mine is Northern English and nothing at all like the BBC/Home Counties English.
I quite like Eurovision entrants to sing in their native language
Midlands would be awesome with all those metal bands from Birmingham. Of course, I wouldn't expect metal to win tho.
There are bands like Kaiser's for us around here but not too much metal. Some decent song writers though for yorkshire, Robert Palmer could probably write something that would be catchy enough to win
Wiki on the other hand clearly has some continuity problems http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bands_and_musicians_from_Yorkshire_and_North_East_England claims whitesnake are from leeds, and their page says middlesborough ^^.
