Jean Walker (Taxi-cab impersonater)

[KingMikeJ]

Many of you will have seen Brazilian Jean Walker sing Billie Jean in a taxi, he has a YouTube channel with a lot of Michael covers and I think he is underrated.

Here is his cover of Best Of Joy:


His 2 YouTube channels:

Yes Jean walker is diffinately something. I thinks he deserves some credit here to - thank you for posting

 

[Dutchie]

Hey, that's pretty damn good! Kudos!!

 

[MJ~And~Me]

He is quite good:yes:

 

[Gregershansen]

Yeah he is very talented.

He sings off-key an awful lot, his English is not very good (not a problem of course but it does take away from his impersonation skills) and he is technically not a very good singer, but he is one of the few impersonators who can actually sound like Michael in a few spots imo.

YANA from 0.39-0.57 is pretty good I think.

And WYBT from 1.00-1.17 as well (until the 'walk when not able' line).

In general he seems to especially have problems imitating MJ's grittier voice (his voice sounds really strained then, imo).

Watch his cover of Earth Song, I'll post a link when I get home.

 

[Dutchie]

Regardless of all that, this is a fan who can definitely imitate Michael's singing voice well.

 

[KingMikeJ]

I think Earth Song is his best cover:


But This Is It comes pretty close to, even his speaking voice at the start sounds like Michael!:

[news2arya]

[KingMikeJ]

Dirty Diana is amazing until the chorus! And even then it's still pretty good.

Could only be Brazilian. I'm sure Michael would like. :wild:
