Why do British singers seem to lose their accent?

I've heard that this has something to do with old English sounding more like American English today - is that true?

Singing is not the same as speaking. If you take classes on how to sing they teach you to open your mouth certain ways and to breath certain ways. There are more efficient ways to make sound when singing and these are pretty much universal.

It's not so much that British singers sound more American, it's that all singers lose their accents when singing. Whether you're American, British, Chinese, Russian... good singing produces similar sounds.
