Jennifer Lopez:



Lisa Lisa:




Sure Jennifer has the acting career and a few hit songs under her belt but in my mind she will always be the poor mans Lisa Lisa..

I'm a poor woman's D'angelo.

Paula Abdul too.

Pet Shop Boys are the rich man's New Order.

Sorry. I was unclear on the premise. I thought you meant who are we poor man versions of.

Stuart Townsend. poor man's Johnny Depp.

Nooooo! that's humbug!

SenseOfDoubt said:

The guy who wrote Saint Morrisey pretty much says Neil Tenant is the poor mans Morrissey. I LOVE Neil Tennant and just getting into Morrisey.

SenseOfDoubt said:

how come!

sosgemini said:

I'm glad that little red X isn't showing up.

GangstaFam said:

I always thought J-Lo was just a weak Paula Abdul. At least Abdul had a smidge of class (sleeping with married Jacksons aside).

John Mellencamp


Bruce Springsteen

Gwen Stefani


Cyndi Lauper

c'mon now Mariah IS NOT big for God's sake.

GangstaFam said:

maybe this one will

I always thought Gwen wanted to be Debbie Harry, when No Doubt went new wave.

AnckSuNamun said:

Yeah as much as I love Cyndi (she is criminally underrated) I think Gwen deserves a little bit more respect than that (Her No Doubt years were critically lauded)...However, the solo Gwen Stefani is more of a mix between a poor woman's oldschool Madonna and Blondie...

This may be too easy, but

Rancid


is the poor man's

The Clash

AnckSuNamun said:

I agree, last year's Tori is ALWAYS the poor man's this year's Tori.

Fred Ward


poor man's Harvey Keitel.

I'm the poor man's Imminent Starvation.

I'm the poor man's TRON.

GangstaFam said:

You are.

hey you!

AnckSuNamun said:

And just vocally speaking, Cyndi Lauper is the poor man's Melanie Safka. I always thought that they sounded similar, although Melanie's voice is much more pure. *





*who in turn sounds like the poor man's Edith Piaf. But I wouldn't call her a "poor man's" anything I suppose, since I think she's one of a kind.
