I could be wrong but let me place a few out there. Michael Bolton, Rick Astley, Joe Crocker, Robin Thicke, Daniel Merriweather, Michael McDonald, George Michael, but I could be wrong maybe they just sing soulful, but I think a few of them sound black.
If we continue falling into the pop music crap they sing then yes, but you don't see ANY other females sining like Aretha Franklin, Patti Labelle, Mahalla Jackson, and so on and so on.
The bee gees, Christina Aguilara, Jon B, Robin Thicke, Elvis Presley, and many others sound like a black singer, when singing. I thought that Jessie J was black, too. Who else?...There are a couple others.
the shaytards intro(one of their intro) was done by a asian american dude...but for the longest time, i thought it was a African American guy rapping.
this is all BS we all need to stop eating the RAT POISON !!!!!!YOU SOUND LIKE A VERY NICE BW SMART, KIND wen not pissed off lol AND NOT LIKE THE STEREOTYPE bm complain about now WHY they got you on youtube in this GW ?? your to good for that ....also i see BM that are not thugs or Dogs on this (YT) GW LIKE I SAID LETS STOP EATING TH RAT POISON <3
come to england you will be inundated with them that's ALL we have rappers, soul singers rnb singers all sound BLACK im not sure you remember rick ashtly when i first heard him i thought he was black- now as for americans you have micheal macdonald dr john.
naw black women will never be replaced as long as i have something to say about it 2 micheal mcdonald i thought was black and queen(another bites the dust)when i were a child SHALUM
lol should have been called are black people replacable you should hear how eminem sounded in his interviews when he first came out if the pop world see that replaced black dudes from hip hop with good white rappers they will do the same with black female r and b singers more then
what about the michael bolton song 'when a man loves a woman'? he sounds kind of black. i dont think its a case of hitting the bass notes, as this is more down to individual differences rather than race. but there are there differences between the vocal chords of different races which may make it difficult for white men to achieve a "black" sound.
@MizzDiamonds Damn you just taught me something. I just went & looked at the video of Bobby & i'll be dang he is white. I always thought he was black lol.
You can try your best to replicate us, but you'll never be us. You don't have the feelings we do and whatnot. I'd much rather support a black artist, but only if I actually like them. Sorry, that's just how it is.
WE CAN never be replaced, you can sound, sing, and talk, walk, copy or what ever.... but you can NEVER be the real thing... we got dat on lock down ;-D
I am not sure what you mean by replaceable. You either were born with a god given talent or you aren't OR you meet some Caucasion standard of Black beauty with a mediocrity of talent. I am not Black, but it does bother me that dark skinned Black women are not celebrated or even acknowledged. In other words, it seems like the new Black isn't Black at all but of clearly mixed race which is portrayed as the standard. Where did the Grace Jones's of world go? Am I wrong?
It seems like a lot of white women are doing soul music these days. But they can't compare to the real soul singers that have been doing this for years.
I don't know if its because I'm familiar with some other foreign singers, but I never confused Little Dragon as black. She reminds me of Kate Havnevik who's a Norwegian singer.
I mean Disney plucks out some little white girl who can carry a tune for 5 seconds every other day. The only other time you really see extraordinary white female singers is if they sing a genre that's not fully mainstream, like country singers. A lot of them can sing just as well as black women but are not confused for black women.
I don't know so much that its that black women are replaceable, but more than black women with singing talent are just more striking, which is why when a non black woman comes a long who can sing people assume she is black. White men in this age are also known for their singing talent. But many of us grew up under the influence of Britney Spears and other manufactured bubblegum pop, so not a lot is expected of white female performers. Especially in main stream.
We are totally replacable. look at the girl from black eyed peas, adele, the late amy winehouse, christian aquilera, and more. the only black female performers they all to be on the airwaves are light, bright damn near white. beyonce, rihanna, nikki maj, and the dark ones, like kelly rowland, india arie are tossed to the side. if kelly rowland was lighter her career would be better. its sad but all the effects of blk are being taking from our body shape to our vocal ability. its over
I know a white singer when I hear one, no matter how soulful they sing, because their timing is off. They don't have an inborn sense of rhythm, so white singers have to actually "try" in order to sound soulful, whereas it was natural for Aretha, James Brown, Gladys Knight, Diana etc. Black ppl for the most part have a different timbre than any other race. Just listen to our speaking voices. Our speaking are just naturally soulful, that's where the whole "talking white" thing came from.
Ditto, Robin Thicke comes to mind immediately, there are many other "blue eye - soul brothers" as some DJ dub them. Some of them are of the 60's, 70's and now the in the millienium. I'll have to find my thinking cap to recall their names and when I do - I'll hit you up on it.... Happy New Year!
That male soulful quality toward the bass is a little rarer across racial groupings. Though on the falsetto side you'll find more representative soulful diversity. Seems to me to be a great opportunity for evolutionary biologists to dig in and get some inkings about, being that the throat and voicebox is right there covered by layers of tissue and skin. The physics of sound is understood. Can't be all that hard to understand the qualitative dynamics of soul. Kinda makes me wish I had nine lives
Are Black Women replaceable for me? Would you ask the same of my hands and feet? Without which no motion could there ever be Thus this question I could never meet.
For whom raised me and soothed my infant woe? Whose milk strengthened me to walk tall and strong. How could I not wish such a person to know, In this I'm sure I can never be wrong.
From slaves bonds to picket lines we both went. From this task we could not be stopped nor bent. So why question this design for she was meant to be mine
I've heard some Asian and white men that soing black equally with non-black women who sound black Far east movement (some of their songs) most popular example funny how these things work??
Oh and... as for black women be replaceable. We aren't. If we were, they would of accomplished that a long time ago. I mean seriously folks, it isn't like they haven't been trying to, lol.
@RotundaHopkins Rick Astley never sounded black to me. When I first heard him, I knew he wasn't black. He sounded imitation to me. Same thing with Harry Connick Jr. I never thought he sounded black. He sounds like a imitation of Frank Sinatra. Not a black man.
The title of this video is controversial "sounding" for no apparent reason... this really had nothing to do with black women being replaceable. No hate, just saying.
here is how to sound like michael mcdonald 'ugh ohh aag umm uroooaah' he never pronounces words. what a fool believeeeeves ugh eeeeee e sa da sha da shaba ooh nuttin at all.
michael mcdonald sounds kind of black and so does that guy who makes that song 'never gonna give you up'. i stopped listening to new music back in the 90's so i am not familiar with these singers you talk about.
@lineartechbd1600 I knew Michael McDonald wasn't black when I first him sing. There's something in the voice that I pick up on everytime. I've never been fooled by any of them. I hear people claim all the time that they were initially fooled by Teena Marie, and I'm like .... really??? I don't know... maybe it has something to do with me being reared in the black holiness church, lol.
No race of people is replaceable . Barbara Streisand has a very soulful sound a great voice and Bet Midler dose also but we know they are white women .
I don't think blk females are replaceable. No race/gender combo really is. The "problem", if that's what you want to call it, is western media favors nonblk over blk, especially when it comes to women. So a nonblk female with a 'blk' timbre is seen as have an X-factor will the blks who have that in higher abundance aren't given extra pts for it.
@Unekwu89 - They sure seem to be able to replace Native Americans with almost anything - Indians (Hindus), Latinas, Whites with a tan, Asians, etc. in every movie and TV show...
yeah, in the media sense people are replaceable. For instance Asian males are pretty much invisible, blacks (women in particular) are disproportionately represented by people who are half or less than half black, ect.
However in a cultural and historical sense races/cultures are irreplaceable.
Oh, I thought this was going to be about how the music industry loves to find the great white hypes to replace black women singers and they always end up selling way more than their black counterparts.
I thought Rihannia was white for a while. You have to remember that every is using Auto tune to fix or enhance there voice. So mabay a black voice pattern is just the thing they are using.
In the eyes of the music industry, ANYBODY, regardless of race or gender, can be replaced. They do it ever so often when the "next big thing" comes out. American Idol, anyone? There are several factors leading to the "replacement" of black women in the music industry: the cutting of funds form art/music programs in public schools, which affects a lot of black children - white females who "sing black," Nikka Costa and Jane Monheit had fathers who were music executives, so they could afford...
...to go to schools with music programs, and they got music education at home; speaking of music executives, many of them select female AND MALE artists whom they feel would be "more marketable" to the public. As someone mentioned, this has been going on since the days of Elvis. The difference between the "black" sound and the "white" sound is attributed to the difference in our facial bone structures, and sinuses (resonance chambers). Despite singing styles, these resonance differences...
Joss Stone and Christina Aguilera both sound black, especially Christina because she has soooo much soul. And Joss Stone's style of singing just kind of reminds me of Janis Joplin, only Joss Stone sounds better and her voice is a lot stronger.
@NEMESIS1JUSTICE4ALL Naw, I think Christina has a strong voice, but you can tell that was a white woman doing imitations. Joss Stone is just annoying.
i think the black female singing voice/pattern can definitely be imitated/reproduced pretty successfully by nonblacks. i can usually kinda tell though cuz there are usually a few subtle differences. i think little dragon's voice is very close but not quite the same. but how about nonwhite females that sound white? are white women, or the white singing voice specifically, replaceable? probably. and i think it's probably easier to emulate/imitate white women than it is to imitate black women.
justin timberlake maybe? actually he probably sounds more like a black female though. no diss to him of course, i really like him, but his voice is pretty high for a male but so was michael jackson's so whatever. there arent a whole lot of famous nonblack singers that i can think of but there are a lot of amateur nonblack singers on youtube that sound black.
@tnn1 okay, fine, i was just throwing it out there. he doesnt exactly sound like a black man but he doesnt really sing like the typical white dude either. when was the last time you heard a white man do the kinds of vocal runs justin does? he grew up on al green and he's definitely TRYING to sound black. his mickey mouse voice just kinda keeps him from completely hitting the mark. i stand by what i said lol.
a lot of people thought bobby caldwell was black when he came out; some folks thought michael mc donald was black; roy head does, depending on the song... and wayne cochran was the one white dude who had the moves like james brown (but no one could ever replace mr. brown), and could sound sort of like jackie wilson, depending on the moment.
woman is not expendable ever, man is expendable... just get another man. Only significant difference is sex... but one is deemed with noticeably more value due to gender. this is clear sexism.
I suspect you may be trolling... cause who calls them self a "nigga" after being called a sexist? That's kind of weird.
Joe Cocker and Michael Mcdonald sound like BM to me. I think to the public, BM and BW are replaceable. The only thing nonblacks love more than black music is a nonblack (especially a white person)singing it (Elvis and Eminem).
@UHeardMe1stTime Jon B. is Puerto Rican. Sure that's technically "non-black", but some Puerto Ricans have a significant mix of African and native ancestry.
I could be wrong but let me place a few out there. Michael Bolton, Rick Astley, Joe Crocker, Robin Thicke, Daniel Merriweather, Michael McDonald, George Michael, but I could be wrong maybe they just sing soulful, but I think a few of them sound black.

Joss Stone and Christina Aguilera both sound black, especially Christina because she has soooo much soul. And Joss Stone's style of singing just kind of reminds me of Janis Joplin, only Joss Stone sounds better and her voice is a lot stronger.

@NEMESIS1JUSTICE4ALL Naw, I think Christina has a strong voice, but you can tell that was a white woman doing imitations. Joss Stone is just annoying.

i think the black female singing voice/pattern can definitely be imitated/reproduced pretty successfully by nonblacks. i can usually kinda tell though cuz there are usually a few subtle differences. i think little dragon's voice is very close but not quite the same. but how about nonwhite females that sound white? are white women, or the white singing voice specifically, replaceable? probably. and i think it's probably easier to emulate/imitate white women than it is to imitate black women.

justin timberlake maybe? actually he probably sounds more like a black female though. no diss to him of course, i really like him, but his voice is pretty high for a male but so was michael jackson's so whatever. there arent a whole lot of famous nonblack singers that i can think of but there are a lot of amateur nonblack singers on youtube that sound black.

@tnn1 okay, fine, i was just throwing it out there. he doesnt exactly sound like a black man but he doesnt really sing like the typical white dude either. when was the last time you heard a white man do the kinds of vocal runs justin does? he grew up on al green and he's definitely TRYING to sound black. his mickey mouse voice just kinda keeps him from completely hitting the mark. i stand by what i said lol.

@tnn1 I agree. Justin Timberlake sounding black.. don't think so. Remember when they were calling him the, "next Michael Jackson". LOL.

a lot of people thought bobby caldwell was black when he came out; some folks thought michael mc donald was black; roy head does, depending on the song... and wayne cochran was the one white dude who had the moves like james brown (but no one could ever replace mr. brown), and could sound sort of like jackie wilson, depending on the moment.

Why are you calling a nigga sexist??
hastious 1 month ago
@hastious woman and man are of the same type.
woman is not expendable ever, man is expendable... just get another man. Only significant difference is sex... but one is deemed with noticeably more value due to gender. this is clear sexism.
I suspect you may be trolling... cause who calls them self a "nigga" after being called a sexist? That's kind of weird.

Joe Cocker and Michael Mcdonald sound like BM to me. I think to the public, BM and BW are replaceable. The only thing nonblacks love more than black music is a nonblack (especially a white person)singing it (Elvis and Eminem).

@UHeardMe1stTime Jon B. is Puerto Rican. Sure that's technically "non-black", but some Puerto Ricans have a significant mix of African and native ancestry.
