Lead singer G.C. Cameron of 70s group Detroit Spinners - It's A Shame


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5VaRSEvq8U

and Sam Sparro - American Boy (Radio 1 Live Lounge)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra6t2...eature=related

Sound almost identical!

I'm sure there are other singers that sound very similar.

How about Nik Kershaw singing 'Human Racing'?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUP_aM99ArQ

Close your eyes and it could almost be Stevie Wonder.

Not identical, but Phil Collins managed to sound enough like Peter Gabriel to get away with fronting Genesis for 30 years after he left..

I'm sure Patrick Watson must've listened to a lot of Jeff Buckley to get his voice to sound the way it does.

Bjork and Olga Bell sound alike to my ears. In fact Olga sounds so much like Bjork I'm quite worried and wondering whether she's just taking the piss or that genuinely is her voice:

Bjork - Who Is It

Bell - Magic Tape

Beat me to it!

But Matt is a lot different now to the Showbiz era. He's a fully recognised vocalist in his own right now.

Miles Hunt and Loz Hardy sounded the same, esp around the "Never Loved Elvis" era for the Wonder Stuff and on the "Eat Yourself Whole" album for Kingmaker.

Sometimes, I think Andrew Vanwyngarden of MGMT sounds like a young Neil Young. On "Pieces Of What" for example.

Livvi Franc in her song "Now I'm that chick" there's a part where she sounds exactly like Rihanna.

The Girl Singer in chipmunks Diamond Rings sounds like Chrisitna Aguilera when she does the line...

"And if your looking at me,
Then you gon be looking at them
Cause there the swagger that you see in my walk
And if your listening to me,
You gon' be listening to them
Cause there the slick that you hear in my talk"

I don't think they sound similar at all.

I love Sam Sparro. Great writer and producer and a very underrated singer. I don't know why radio didn't pick up on his second single as it did his first.

Kesha and Katy perry sound similar in the odd song. I really thought that was Perry when i first heard Right round.
I think Katy Perry and Kelly Clarkson sound more similar.

Kesha isn't as good a singer as Katy and nowhere near as good as Kelly.

The Jam and Kaiser Chiefs
Ricky from the Kaiser Chiefs sounds just like Ray Thomas of the Moody Blues.

Mika and The Scissor Sisters
Jake Shears has a far better voice than Mika.

Adam Young of Owl City sounds spookily like Ben Gibbard of The Postal Service.

Coincidentally, even without the vocals Owl City sounds spookily like The Postal Service.

Thanks for agreeing

Avril and Hayley from Paramore sound alike. Hayley's voice sounds more rough.
