Songs that had you incorrectly guessing the singer's sex….

[GYAAAL YA PUM PUM FAT!]

So I'm watching GTA Vice City gameplay vids on youtube…..and decided to listen to some of the individual songs……

One of the songs I listened to was 'Automatic'…and for some reason I got curious as to who the male singer was that was singing along with the Pointer Sisters (all these years I just assumed he was just some random uncredited breh or some shyt)…..

So I searched for a video of them singing the song live, to see if I could see the dude singing with them…

I literally made the face at the 0:36 mark



I've heard a few other Pointer Sister songs and NONE of them ever sang that damn deep

I made the same mistake a while back when I first caught this song on the radio ….



For a short while I coulda sworn it was some Mary J. Blige-type female singer…until I listened closer to the lower-sung parts and the lyrics….Neyo sounded mad feminine on this one

And who could forget this classic….I can't be the only one who initially didn't know the 'female' part was just the dude rapping with the audio sped up




Any more song gender fukkery like these?

First time I heard this, I thought it was a female lead with a male back-up.



Think I overheard the 2nd verse to "My Love" while I was out somewhere, I was like "Yooo...who's this broad on this cold-ass beat?"

*bridge drops in*

"Wait...is that Timberlake?"

*T.I. verse drops*

"fukk it."

Lmao knew Automatic would be brought up. I made a post about that on srk before. I even told some co-workers at work cause it came on the radio and they were shocked too.

An artist who's age I didn't guess was Lorde.

When Chris Brown first hit radio with Run It, I thought I was listening to Missy Elliot.
