The best and worst professional musician lookalikes
These are real humans you can actually hire
Rachael / Beyonce: We get why she's trying - Beyonce is one of the most famous women on the planet, so the demand is there. The trouble is, if you're going to ask people to pay you money to pretend to be someone, it's a good idea for you to actually faintly resemble that person. We tried squinting, we tried tilting our head, we tried taking off our glasses and standing far away... nothing worked. Sorry.

We've never quite understood why someone would want to hire a celebrity lookalike. We've actually been to the occasional party where there hasn't been a stranger walking around who, from far away, looks a bit like Barry Manilow, and still had a good time. Hard to believe, yes, but it's the truth.
Nonetheless, the market is there, and these plucky entrepeneurs are doing their best to provide for that market. Some are good, some are bad. We'll be honest actually, most are bad.
Here, ranked from worst to best, are some of the professional musician lookalikes that you can hire today.
