Man who eerily sings like Michael Jackson becomes an overnight sensation with just his first video
Michael Jackson is remembered for his solo hits that took the world by storm along with his dance moves. His signature high-pitched singing style made him easily recognizable to many people and his tonal quality was unique. Young people were emulating him even while he was alive and after his death several artists who moved like him and even looked like him appeared on social media.
Many people have covered Jackson’s songs but few have ever been able to successfully replicate that iconic style. One of those people did it in a parking lot without any instruments. TikTok user Brandon (brandonconway11) released his first video on the platform back in 2022. It was a clip of him singing Jackson’s ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’ and it blew up. According to a report in Upworthy, it has received more than 27 million views.
Backed by a magical voice, he clicked his fingers to maintain a steady beat as he sang the iconic number. The resemblance that his voice had to Jackson’s was uncanny. The same high-pitched and powerful vocal style impressed millions of viewers.
Fans on the platform were left awestruck and they expressed appreciation in the comments section. “Bro the long lost Jackson #6,” one user called Jackson DiGiacomo commented. “No one in the world can sound like Michael Jackson That's how special he was but you definitely do it justice,” another user named Mars 42 quipped. Things worked out in Brandon's favor since that video as well.
A pinned video on his TikTok account showed his journey from being just someone who liked to sing to what seems to be a part of a dance routine. However, he was just singing the same song that the dancers practiced their steps to. The text overlays on the video read, “To go from this…to this.”
