Maybe French

[GeistFaust]

I am thinking more North Central European like German.

[bulgarian88]

Both of you are wrong. :rolleyes:

The words in your picture are eerily prophetic.

They are? In what way?

[bulgarian88]

More suggestions? :icon_rolleyes:

[alzo zero]

Bulgarian.

[Rosenrot]

Croatian!

[bulgarian88]

Sorry, both of you got it wrong. :)

[safinator]

Danish

[bulgarian88]

Definitely not! :rolleyes:

[Onychodus]

English or Irish

[bulgarian88]

English or Irish
Nope.
I could've given the answer long ago, but it wouldn't be interesting and I think someone should get the chance to be the one who classified/identified his nationality/subrace. :thumb001:

[safinator]

Russian

[bulgarian88]

Nope, Russia is too Eastern. His country is more Western... sort of. ;)

[Logan]

POLAND

[Onychodus]

Czech
He is similar to Karel Gott

[bulgarian88]

Czech
Nope.

POLAND
Nope.

:whistle:

[safinator]

Latvian

Latvian

[GeistFaust]

West Baltid he could fit in Ukraine, Russia, Lithuania, Belarus, and parts of Romania.

[Onychodus]

American

Yes, he could, but he's not from any of those. A hint: it's not visible in the photo, but most probably he has brown or dark brown eyes. And now some trivia: the photo is from 1985 and the singer was a one-hit wonder.


American
Nope, he's European!

[Mordid]

Serbian, of course.

[bulgarian88]

Serbian, of course.
Erm, nope. http://www.therugbyleaguemillion.com/images/smiley/smiley030.gif

[bulgarian88]

I can't believe no one got it right! :rolleyes:

[Onychodus]

George Michael?

[kamelin]

Spanish?

[bulgarian88]

Spanish?
Nope. :whistle:

[Mordid]

Greek, Albanian or Montenegro ?

[bulgarian88]

Greek, Albanian or Montenegro ?
No, no and no. :D

[Hess]

What the hell

[bulgarian88]

Do you people want me to tell you his nationality so it could be easier for you to classify him?

[Mordid]

^Yes

[bulgarian88]

He's Italian. I thought it was obvious.:p

[Mordid]

...Oh god :D

[bulgarian88]

I still wonder how couldn't anyone get it right. It's written on his face that he's Italian.

[alzo zero]

It's written on his face that he's Italian.
Is it? :confused:

What's his name again?

[bulgarian88]

Chato, an Italo-disco singer from the 80's: http://www.discogs.com/Chato-No-No-No/release/2493386

http://s.dsimg.com/image/R-2493386-1290900419.jpeg

I wonder why does his name (or rather a stage name?) has an "^" over the "H"? Is that common in Italian?

Never heard of him and also his name is very weird for an Italian. Are you sure?

[bulgarian88]

Well, it might be just a pseudonym, most Italo disco singers used 'fake' names. He sings in Italian: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbSB2NQaXdg

But you're the Italian here, so does he have some kind of a foreign accent while singing? I can't judge as I don't know Italian. ;)
I think he is definitely a Med.

His accent doesn't sound foreign but I can't be 100% sure. Some foreigners, like Eastern Europeans, are hard to tell when they are singing. However that picture isn't good enough for classification but he looks predominantly CM to me.

[Lucretius]

heavy CM with bad Italian accent.

[alzo zero]

I didn't find his accent bad, but probably you are right he isn't Italian. In this case he must be an Eastern European.

[bulgarian88]

Sorry about the dumb question bu what is CM?

p.s. I don't think any Eastern European could be that good at Italian. ;)

[alzo zero]

CM=Cromagnoid.

Eastern Europeans from the Balkans up to Poland are probably the best Italian speakers around because they don't have a recognisable accent, unlike Western Europeans. I've heard that their languages are so complicated that to learn Italian is relatively easy for them, but I'm not sure this last thing is true.

[bulgarian88]

I think he has some Dinarid influences.
