Title: Singers who don't look like their voice.
Post by: billiumbean on 28 May 2009, 20:01: The assemblies at our school usually allow a student to sing the national anthem, and this past Wednesday we had a "Farewell Seniors!" ceremony. The guy who sang the Star-Spangled Banner this time was a senior, and though he's generally one of the quieter, more nerd-cool guys, seeing him onstage made me think he was there as a joke or a dare, which would suit his sense of humor.

He sang the redneck-pride out of that song, and the shock-and-awe of the crowd made it difficult for him to even sing, since we were cheering so loudly.

I was wondering, though, where else does this Susan Boyle phenomenon exist? And I welcome similar stories to mine, even if the person isn't famous or even searchable on the internet.

Post by: Catacombs on 28 May 2009, 20:09: I don't like American Idol or anything like it, but the same time I saw Susan Boyle, I was shown a video of a ten-year-old little girl singing AMAZINGLY. I think her name was Hollie Steel. Check it out on YouTube. Totally unexpected.

Post by: Patrick on 28 May 2009, 23:12: Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers. He's also the guy who sings in "Time Of My Life" from Dirty Dancing. I expected that voice to be not from a white dude.

The dude from Built To Spill also looks like his voice would sound a bit less nasal than it does, but I guess not all people who look like lumberjacks have got voices that can thunder down a mountain.

Mat Weddle is apparently this man's name. He does an amazing acoustic cover of that song Hey Ya, but after hearing it a few times on friends' iTunes, seeing the video made me do a double take. You can't hear the beard at all.

Seconded! Every time I've seen them, he introduces the band right after the first song and the ENTIRE AUDIENCE double-takes. Last show I saw, the guy in front of me turned to his friend and said "Holy shit they're from Ohio".

It's less about what I expect her to sound like, and more what I expect her to look like based on her voice. The first time I heard Janis I thought "black female blues/soul screamer," and she looks like a folk/country white girl.

Seconded, I remember first hearing Coheed and Cambria from a friend, then I saw that music video and was shocked. I always thought that voice came from a skinny little white dude, not some heavy set hispanic guy. It kind of blew my mind for a little bit.

I didn't have to worry about that one, the first time I heard him was in his music video for "Youth".

Yeah, first time I saw a video of them playing live, I was really surprised.

I think what fascinates me more about her is the fact that her voice isn't the product of a good studio take. I've seen two Decemberists' television appearances (both times singing Repaid), and she fucking nailed every note with the same amount of power as on the album. Maybe the voice itself is kind of believable, but I did not expect the cannon.

There's a difference between not looking like your own voice and not looking like any voice.

If you think about it, Little Foot from Land Before Time didn't look like his voice particularily, but really, what should his voice have sounded like?

In some pictures, yes, but when I saw him (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/BrittanyMarie/Calvin%20Johnson/Calvin1.jpg) it fit perfectly. Though maybe that's because the voice fits in with how weird a person I think he is more than how he looks.

Look at that dude and you'll be like "Oh sure yeah the voice fits" but when you hear him sing a note that is higher than Mariah Carey can sing on heroin and 30ccs of adrenaline, you will be like "Oh what in the shits is this guy, a cyborg or some shit" and I mean he dresses like a fucking cyborg so I would not be surprised.

I think the singers for Horrorpops and The creepshow fall into that catagory... actually, pretty much the whole psychobilly genre... probably does.
