There's none like Michael Jackson, or so we thought until one country music artist, Brandon Conway, came pretty close.

There's none like Michael Jackson, or so we thought until one country music artist, Brandon Conway, came pretty close. When Conway began singing on TikTok, it seemed as if it was the popstar himself reincarnated. His voice had an uncanny resemblance to the high-pitched melodies of Jackson's, and hence it was no surprise that it took the internet by storm.

From parking lots to his living room, Conway turns everyday spaces into concert stages. His first TikTok video, posted on July 24, 2022, racked over 27 million views. In the viral clip, he is seen standing at a car parking lot, singing 'The Way You Make Me Feel,' as reported by Upworthy. His rendition of the famous song had people's jaws drop. On social media, netizens showered him with praise. Interestingly, Conway, however, sees himself more as a country singer than a pop star.

On TikTok, a person @brown.sugar1933 noted, "He sounds just like M.J. If you close your eyes, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. I have been a fan since 1969. He is the first and only person I ever heard that’s got M.J.'s voice down pack!” Another person, who goes by the username @aelsoa..1, echoed, “I thought I went brain dead when I heard him sing. I mean it’s fricking amazing! Like he sounds like Michael Jackson!” In agreement, @your_fav_catz gushed, “Excellent mimic of Michael Jackson’s voice. You should definitely do more versus from other songs of his. It brings back great memories.”

Meanwhile, an individual @digitalzebra87 suggested, “Why does the voice have to match anyone or anything you imagine?? This kiddo is amazing; give him that.” Others in the comment section noted Conway also nailed Jackson’s iconic laugh— 'he he'. A TikTok user, @theoneandonly24775, wrote, “Bro, your voice is amazing and you have got talent. Nobody can do the 'HE HE' right, but when I saw this video, I just knew that you were given a blessing.” As the comments poured in, @_alexnorris remarked, "My man, you must be basing this off of overtones or some sh-t cause this is legit and I have never heard another hit the heehee THAT on point." Another (@rhonnirush) opined, "He hits those Michael tones a couple times, so close. Would have been a fantastic harmonizer with MJ."

Britney Spears, who performed the iconic song with Jackson, in her memoir, 'The Woman in Me,' shared, “In my heels, I prowled all over that stage. The audience went crazy. At one point, it felt like the whole crowd of 20,000 was singing along with us.” Jackson helped shape the pop industry into what it is today, and those that followed, Spears, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, to name a few, embodied his style into their work, as reported by Showbiz Cheatsheet.
