I hear my voice on the radio quite often, but never my name.

I hear my voice on the radio quite often, but never my name. Oh it doesn’t bother me really. I get paid well enough. I go in and sing the song exactly like the producers want it, a little vibrato or grit as required. They bring her in and she goes over it and they autotune it to me and use a little program to add my inflection to her voice. And that’s how it’s done. I don’t think anyone has ever caught on because they are quite good about altering it enough that it doesn’t sound just like me. But when I go get plastered at karaoke bars and sing one of those songs, man, people go crazy. “You sound almost exactly like her!” they say. Honey, you preachin’ to the choir on that one.

I might try my own stuff one day, under my name. If I lose enough weight and get in shape, that is. Otherwise people would rather have a pretty phony than a fat genuine. Can’t really be no hit singer and wear size 17. Not around here anyway.
