Gender confusion

[Nixon]

For years, I thought this song was sung by a man.


I was also sure the singer of this song was a woman.


It turns out I was way off. Have you ever had this problem?

I wish I could remember the name of the band, but there was this terrible metal band a guy at work was listening to once. The singer was doing that terrible "too close to the mic and moaning" thing through the whole song. It was a really deep voice, and it turned out to be a chick.

i thought Imogen Heap was a dude with a girly voice (like the savage garden guy) for no apparent reason

Re: Gender confusion

I'm going to get the obvious out there, the first time I heard the Biebs, I thought it was a new tweeny pop singer (girl).

Re: Gender confusion

The first time I heard Silversun Pickups in Rock Band 2, I THOUGHT it was a guy singing, but I had a twinge of doubt.

Bruno Mars is essentially a woman in his music.

Re: Gender confusion

I seriously only found out that this song wasn't sung by a woman about 1-2 years ago. I had no idea.

Re: Gender confusion

It sounds like a high pitched dude, but hes got female backup singers, so it just kinda enhances the "woman-ness" of his voice.

Re: Gender confusion

Everyone I know seems to think Claudio Sanchez of Coheed & Cambria is a chick at first.
And yeah, the first time I heard Silversun Pickups I wasn't sure either.

Re: Gender confusion

I thought the singer of Rush was female for a while. Also I'll jump in with the Silversun Pickups gang.

Re: Gender confusion

The lead singer for 3 Inches of Blood comes pretty close to gender confusion.
