No, it doesn't. Raúl is pronounced "Row*-ool."
*Not row as in "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," but sounding like "Now."

Posted: 6/1/05 at 2:35pmIt's kind of like *growl* like *the dog growled at the robber*

Posted: 6/1/05 at 2:35pmSo it sort of kind of rhymes with owl then?

raul = towel, owl, foul. not raw-oool.
and on a side note it should also be mentioned that Idina is not eye-dina but uh-deena. :)

I say Tar-Tag-Lee-Uh. Just how it's written.
Raul rhymes with......Brow-ool. :)
#11re: Raúl rhymes with ...
Posted: 6/1/05 at 3:06pmwhoa idina i thought was ih-deen-uh...and yeh, raul with the accent backs it row (like now)-ool like pool. thats what the accent does and thats why it makes it not raul like owl.

for real? whenever i have heard it pronounced, i thought it was owl. haha i guess i'm not that observant. and he went to my school. oops.
but i do know for an absolute fact that idina is uh-deena. she talked about it in an interview a few years back.

And "D'Abruzzo" is not "Dee-uh-broo-zoh," it's "Duh-broo-zoh."
And I can't believe that my mother still pronounces "Chenoweth" as "Jenn-oh-with." (In my opinion, and I'm sure everyone else's opinion, that isn't a very hard name to mispronounce.)
This is fun. "It's 'Liza" with a 'Z'/Not 'Lisa' with an 'S'/'Cause 'Lisa' with an 'S' goes 'SSSSSSSSS' not 'ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.'" Lol

I'm pretty sure that I am correct with "Tar-tag-lee-uh"
That's the way I've always heard his last name pronounced
edit: just checked last year's Tony Awards, I am correct

Posted: 6/1/05 at 4:54pmI depends on how you pronounce it, if you pronounce it like "Rall" then it does. This how they do it in POTO, right??????
#17re: Raúl rhymes with ...
Posted: 6/1/05 at 4:58pmMy mother couldn't pronounce his name correctly to save her life...
#18re: Raúl rhymes with ...
Posted: 6/1/05 at 5:04pm
wow, I don't call Idina "eye-deena" or "Ah-deena"....I call her "i-deena" (with the 'i' sounding like it does in the word 'it')...so not THAT different from ah-deena.... is that weird? :/
and raul is "rah-ool"
