 Singers whose voice doesnt match the face - Stuu
Ive done a couple of these, playing my wife a song, then asking her what image she has for the singer.

I literally made my wifes jaw drop with a clip of Jackie Evancho and Jonny Lang completely threw her. Ill dig out some clips if anyone hasnt heard of either.

Got any favorites? Its tougher than it sounds.

Barry perhaps, Robin is quite a strange looking dude on a good day, but then their harmonies were pretty odd given how they looked.

The Jonny Lang clip I played for the wife. She got a 50 year old black blues singer from this. Doh.

James blunt.

Looks cool, sounds like a little girl with a sore throat.

Oh I dont know, with the right wig, he could well look like that girl...

I didn't realise she had lost all that weight. As for the voice you are right....shame.....you scowly faced git (o-:-o) x
 Singers whose voice doesnt match the face - Zero
Hey - I dont give many scowly faces, so I like to put my monika to them

ANd back to Allison, on the whole I don't much go for salad dodgers, but Alison Moyet was one sexy piece when she was a few pounds, with a voice to turn you to jelly.

Shame she was poor at singing her words properly. ' I go wee, wee in the presence of beauty' was not a great lyric.

My vote would be for Anastacia.

That's a bit disturbing. It reminds me of another one. Jimmy Somerville.

Ottilie Patterson. Sounded like a black momma looked a slight Irish gal!

One from left-field for you; Don Estelle.

Ignore Windsor Davies' inane and pointless ramblings on "Whispering Grass"; Estelle's singing was on a par with the original Inkspots version, and if you ever get a chance to listen to some of his solo stuff, you'll realise as I did that his was a sadly wasted talent.

I can't help thinking that if "Britain's Got Talent" had been around when he was at his best, he'd have been a singing star rather than a not-very-funny little bloke in shorts.

Wonderful song though.

Amy Winehouse.

Not a singer, but a broadcaster.

Tony Cozier, veteran commentator on West Indies cricket, sounds like a West Indian - a black man.

Except he's white:

I dunno Stuartii; Clifford T Ward looks exactly like you'd expect a singer/songwriter of that era to look IMO.

I do agree about the song though, one of the all-time greats from a man who was taken too soon. "The Best is yet to come" is my favourite.

Van Morrison - I thought he was black. Mind you, what should an overweight red-haired Irishman sound like?
