Did they dub Emily Blunt's voice?

Ok,sounds a bit crazy, but I swear that is not her
voice! It has a East Coast/New England bit of twang
to it, and I swear it's another actress's voice who
I have heard somewhere else, just can't figure it out!!!
I've heard her do an American accent in other films,
and she's not that far off from this small part, but
it's more that I'm recognizing that accent from some
other well known actress.. Someone like Rebecca Pidgeon?..
And that little scene of her wafting down the staircase
in her bikini briefs, well, that was someone's gift to
her....

No, they didn't. She's actually very good at accents. And she was not "body-doubled" either in that scene, and she's the one who's singing too.
Watch her talk about it:

I kinda wrote the comment about her walk down the stairs as
a "Gift to her" in the wrong way. It was not that I thought
that it was a body double, but that they had written in the
small cameo to allow her to really show all of her "assets",
i.e. she sings, she jokes around, she looks beautiful and
sexy. She got a nice little chunk of screen time in a big
budget, A-lister film, and that's a nice "gift" for any
young actor!

Oh right, I get what you meant. She sure is talented.

Her scene, though short, is a memorable part of the film. I barely knew of her before that film but she blew me away in this film --- beautiful looking, amazing body, sexy and fun.
