You could say that for a lot of today’s musical acts.
As Autotune™ reaches for those harmonies & difficult to achieve notes.
As Jon Pertwee explained in a Goidies episode, the word Eisteddford is detived from the words
Eistedd = bored
Fford = stiff
That rules out goldie looking chain the most famous welsh hip hop band in err wales.

I had to re-read the snippet. I thought the rapper was dropped for refusing to sign in Welsh. I then wondered if every country has their own version of sign language. So that would lead to multiple people standing next to a speaker signing in loads of different languages.
Then I re-read the snippet and realised I was wrong.
Hallowed Be that was my first thought too…
Different countries do have different sign languages – and since sign languages are totally different to spoken to different languages, not just a way of encoding a spoken language into visible actions, you can even get two English-speaking countries with totally different sign languages. But you can’t “sign in Welsh”.
