Not Vera Lynn then. OK, narrows it down.

*Laughing in real life
Sheās 50.
No way.
Checks. Feels old now.
Azealia Banks?
Sorry.
I knew she had to be up there; Been Around the World came out when I was a sophomore in high school.
Has she ever had a hit record?
Nope; I donāt know enough about her to be annoyed.
Think lighter.
So, big in the late 90ās/early aughts. Hmm.
Was she ever on SNL?
Possibly, but I canāt say for sure. I quit watching SNL when it stopped being funny.
In terms of mass, choice of material or colour saturation?
All of the above.
I only have the incomparable Alicia Keys, but I think youād like her and sheās out with a new album.
Christina Aguilera?
I do, in fact.
I canāt say much about her recent stuff, but I did buy her debut album just on the strength of āFalling.ā
Sheās blonde. And I donāt know about any recent hits, but Iām sure she has some music out currently that Iām just not hip to.
In all my life, only once did somebody ever say I looked kinda like someone. It was maybe 10 or 15 years ago, and they said I kinda looked a little like Eric Stoltz. Now, having done a Google Image search on him, his looks have changed a lot over the years, but I donāt see how any of them look remotely like me.*
Hereās the best mugshot that was ever taken of me (for my WB badge, taken in 2001, but which I still beg them to let me use every year, since it was the last flattering picture of me ever taken):
And hereās what I looked like three minutes ago. Sheesh, I need to use a different conditioner. And probably a good tooth-whitener.
I dunno, I donāt see any famous resemblances there. You guys?
Go away, @Donald_Petersen! @Melizmatic has got us going on this.
Lauryn Hill?
Wasnāt there a picture of you where you looked like David Foster Wallace?
Oh yeah! But hell, spectacles, bandana, overdue-for-haircut, and comfy shirt will do that to you.
First, you know I was kidding before, I hope.
I had a great passport photo from 1990. I asked if I could have some 8 x 10ās.
I know.
I was gonna guess Lauryn Hill, too.
You aināt wrong. there are days when I look like DFW.
