Singer who sounds exactly like MJ

This is an Arab singer by the name of Irfan Makki. The ressemblance between their voices is uncanny eek

Jermaine's son Jaafar sounds a little like Mike. So does Fenderella, Alfonzo Jones, & Jason Malachi.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Don't tell the E$tate this. They might use this guy on the next album and tell us it's MJ.

Back in the day before I knew better, I had a moment where I thought he was singing "Baby, Come To Me" with James Ingram.

Look up a song called "Girl You Are The One" by an artist called Alfonzo. The guy sounds almost exactly like early 80s era Michael Jackson.

But can he sing Dirty Diana or Leave Me Alone ?

That'll seperate the reals from mere imitations. hmmm

But that's only because MJ can do so many things with his voice. The singer in the video has the voice of MJ in songs like You Are Not Alone, while Alfonzo for example has that grit of funky MJ in songs like PYT or Leave Me Alone.

Yeah, at 53, I realize who Patti Austin is. At 14, I didn't.

Actually, I believe they were both friends (MJ & Alfonzo).

One Bad Apple by The Osmonds, Candy Girl / Popcorn Love by New Edition & Please Don't Go Girl by NKOTB sound like Jackson 5
