Singers that don't sound like their appearance

[Alapeno]

This has probably been done before but here goes...

Found myself listening to King Krule this week. Has a really distinctive voice and I had a preconceived idea in my head of what this guy looks like. He's probably the complete opposite though.

Link to his music video: clicky

He's actually in the video which spoils it a bit.

Anyone else the complete opposite of what someone thought they sounded like based on their voice?

More rappers but the two that spring to mind were Large Professor and Big Pun. DJ Evil Dee and Show Biz are the complete opposite. Two big guys with squeaky voices.

I also listen to King Krule and that is the first time I have seen him.

Pretty gobsmacked by how he looks, not expected at all.

[Uncle John]

John Newman looks completely different to how I expected.

Not really a rapper, but Maverick Sabre as well. Doesn't sound like he looks in my eyes.

Eartha Kitt - knew her as 'Catwoman' on Batman when I was a kid, she looked a bit fierce, only realised recently that it was her that sang Santa Baby in that cutesy voice.

I was expecting someone in the ballpark of Ceelo Green.

Good ones here, Maverick Sabre definitely doesn't sound like the mad Irishman that he is.

Another one along the same lines - Dr Syntax from UK hiphop

[ReallyReallyGood]

Lana Del Rey, she sounds like a warbling old lady.

I took the O/H to see Dr John a couple of years ago as we both like his stuff, my girlfriend had apparently always thought he was black.

I'm not really sure that counts as singing.

She could do with a pack of Strepsils.

As a baseline, I'd like to point out that Morrissey both sounds, and looks, like a whining little girl.
