Why do people keep saying this? IMHO, Jason Kay can only capture 1/16th
of Stevie Wonder's vocal style. He can't growl like Stevie, he lacks
Stevie's dynamics, he can't sustain his voice like Stevie, he doesn't
even have Stevie's range. Ergo, he doesn't sound like Stevie at all. I
just think the whole Stevie/Jay Kay thing is just this simplified media
belief that people just assumed as well, with JK's ego growing evermore
bigger at every mention of it.
Jes, I do like Jamiroquai (the band), and Jay Kay for what he does is a
pretty good singer, I just can't stand his attitude (can anyone?).
