Well, it's not good French, and it may well be the survival of a very American mistake, but I'm with Jonathan -- and from Ohio, as well, to boot. My teacher always said "BARE - ut".
We could fill several threads with comments about American (even specifically Ohioan) pronunciations that seem to do violence to the original. Where I come from, Berlin is "BER-lun," Milan is "MY-lun," and Chili is "CHYE-LYE".
So in that context, I understand why Barret is "BARE-ut".
You could always just study Prestini instead . . .
