Oh, Claire

Behold, the lovely Claire Perinal.


Come here.

She's apparently not in the mood for an April Fool's joke.

Timur Rodriguez Singing

Yes, I've been on youtube again watching various versions of "Your Face Sounds Familiar" from around the world. The Russian version offers some particularly entertaining videos.

Here is the singer as Diana Ross, performing in English:

Boy's Day

I'm not a big fan of lip-synching, but this Korean "supergroup" is entertaining:



In case the video is ambiguous:
Putting together the ′pretty boys′ from different groups, Boy’s Day will include BTOB’s Min Hyuk, NU’EST’s Ren, VIXX’s Hong Bin and A-JAX’s Seung Jin. They will be parodying Girl’s Day from head to toe, including hair and make-up, in order to present their own version of Something.
This is the Girl's Day performance they are mimicking:

Finally, here are some side-by-side pics comparing the members of Boy's Day and Girl's Day.

Update: Just noticed the Jaye Kaye has lots of great photos on her terrific tumblr.

Looks and Sounds Like Amanda Lear

Stana of the terrific blog Femulate followed up my post from last Thursday with a post about the worldwide television program "Your Face Sounds Familiar" (I had misidentified the show with the apparent American name, "Sing Your Face Off").

Stana posted this video as her favorite:




I was curious, and found the original Amanda Lear video for "Enigma (Give a Bit of Mmh to Me)", which reveals that the European pop singer has a very husky voice. Many speculate that she was born male. One of her songs is featured in "Dallas Buyer's Club."







P.S. Thanks for the link, Stana.

XiaoCan (小灿)



This isn't XiaoCan's best performance I found on youtube, but it is recent and in HD. Mostly, XiaCan dances, but I've seen snippets of her singing and would like to see more. The video portfolio reflects multiple appearances on Chinese talent shows on television.

Her images on-line are astounding.
