No, and technically she was a rapper before her accident.

*LMFAO!

No, not Kelly Rowlins or “the rest of them.”

@subextraordinaire was in the ballpark with her time-frame; Late 90’s, early millennium.

Telling someone he looks like a young Larry King is not only cruel but also nonsensical; there never was a young Larry King.

I didn’t get a notification. Odd.

Hell, I was down to just googling for 2000s singers and checking their discography. I remember that Lady Marmalade cover but she was just one of the two that weren’t Pink or Christina Aguilera in my memory anyway.

I know who we’re talking about, but I swear my mind went immediately to Dallas/Fort Worth! Not sure how you could look like an international airport, but I suppose it’s possible. :wink:

According to some trippers I ran into while wearing my stripy red shirt, Wally.

Also known as Waldo.

I’ve been told I look like the singer from Buffalo Tom- but I think that’s mostly because we’re both redheads.
Weirdly, I used to work with the woman married to his brother. So there’s that.

In my 20s I was told by the midwesterners I waitressed and bartended for that I looked like Winona Ryder. It happened often enough that I consider this a useful, semi-valid datapoint here.

Since my move to Texas I have gotten much browner, and we no longer bear much resemblance.

When Mulan was a new film and popular, people would sometimes call me that name, including some of my fully Caucasian family members. I asked them to stop. It felt wrong and to some degree racist. (Yes, my own family. Argh.) When Drumpf is busy calling Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas” I get the sense that Disney’s many animated [female] leads are intensively-researched lab-created memes, mind viruses of the first order, extremely sticky with certain demographics.

There aren’t many multilingual multiracial part-Asian famous wimmin in U.S. mainstream culture as it stands. It’s a pity, because I believe walking in many worlds simultaneously does definitely wobble one’s horizon. A lot of perspectives, sometimes opposing ones, all held inside the space of one (often tired and overtaxed) human skull. The good news, I hope, is that since the world population is more and more multiracial, statistically [at some point] the famous people/celebrities/faces in dominant culture will become a lot more varied and inclusive.

Here’s hoping.

Better than “hey - fifteen years ago you woulda looked like Harrison Ford, right? Right?!”

i’d be happy to be mistaken for him at any age, honestly!

I just watched the PBS special for Joan Baez’s 75th birthday, and it reminded me that there’s a photo of her and Bob Dylan together which, growing up, had me convinced that they were my parents. I can still see it in her, to this day. But she’s not a mainstream star, so no one else has ever told me I look like her!
