"A lot of people have been telling me that I look like President Obama from a side view."
-- Former panhandler and trained radio announcer Ted Williams on comparisons to President Barack Obama. Recently, the New York native rose to stardom following a viral video that showcased his one-of-a-kind voice. (Access Hollywood)

Known for her no-nonsense 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' ways, NeNe Leakes probably didn't know she had a long-lost twin who was also on television. But we do. All we can say about the mystery person is that she has historical comedy ties. Find out who the celebrity look-alike is.
Celebrity Look Alikes Vol. 6
Ellen Cleghorne:
For a few years, Ellen Cleghorne impersonated various characters on 'Saturday Night Live,' including Natalie Cole, Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle and Whoopi Goldberg. However, there's one particular reality star that Cleghorne has yet to portray.
Nene Leakes:
Known for her no-nonsense 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' ways, Nene Leakes probably didn't know she had a long lost twin who was also on television.
Ellen Cleghorne/ Nene Leakes:
Same chocolate complexion, eyes, nose and mouth. What else can we say? But don't take our word for it, you be the judge! Photos don't lie.
Paul Abdul:
The former Los Angeles Lakers cheerleader and '80s pop music sensation had a career resurgence with the the talent competition series 'American Idol.' But there's another singer from the synthesized music era who is her dead ringer. Guess who?
Lisa Lisa:
It's none other than Lisa Lisa (aka Lisa Velez), the original Puerto Rican pop music princess who has a string of radio hits during the mid-1980s with Full Force and The Cult Jam. With songs such as 'Head to Toe,' 'I Wonder If I Take You Home' and 'All Cried Out,' Lisa Lisa and The Cult Jam became a force to be reckoned with on the dance-music scene.
Paula Abdul/Lisa Lisa:
Talk about seeing double. Abdul may have Syrian Jewish lineage and Velez may have Latino roots but as you can see from these images they are identical.
Jay-Z:
While recording anti-Auto Tunes tracks for his highly anticipated forthcoming album, 'The Blueprint 3', hip-hop mogul Jay-Z probably didn't think he would have a larger-than-life fashionista jockin' his swag.
Andre Leon Talley:
On the other hand, maybe Jay-Z was taking a few fashion cues from Vogue magazine Editor-at-Large Andre Leon Talley, who is revered as the most influential black man in the fashion business.
Jay-Z/Andre Leon Talley:
Although their skin complexion is a bit off, one thing's for sure, these two sunglasses-clad brothers look like they are well on their way to being the new-school version of Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi's legendary group, The Blues Brothers.
Estelle:
When she's all dolled up, the saucy 'American Boy' singer Estelle resembles a certain Tony-Award winning vocal powerhouse with pipes reminiscent of Whitney Houston in her heyday. Do you know who?

Come on now , why do we as Black people always have to play n to this white hype. we look alike. Mr Williams looks nothing like our President.News media always try n to presude us in our views. Just like the Lady who saw a pitcure of Jesus in her oatmeal.If that is what she thinks , that is her view and hers only. We as a people should be about stopping the repel of our Health Care Bill and a need to pass a gun control bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. MAB

I hope we can begin to see some intelligent articles on "Blacks" discussed! Some of them "just do not make sense"! What are we, as blacks, suppose to get out of them??????
Why didn't you write about the "human" aspect of it (Ted Williams) and how so many people came to help this downtrodden man; that perhaps someone will start a place where we can help the homeless --- some of them are men who fought in Iraq living in the streets and under the bridges in these US and they desparately need help.
We are a powerful race --- if only we would come together as one and "lift up" and not "pull or tear down"! One sure thing that I can say about white folks and I have been around them for long periods of time --- they can hate each others guts but will stick together like white on rice (pardon the punt)!

Iam, I agree wholeheartedly that unlike Whites, we as a race don't stick together on major, pivotal issues. This is one of our biggest problems.
I disagree with the posters who are upset about this non-story. Of course, Ted Williams doesn't look like President Obama, but please be fair. If you're mad at Black Voices for writing about the alleged physical similarity between them, you should also be upset with Mr. Williams for bringing it up. I doubt that anybody would be that upset, if, instead of President Obama, Mr. Williams was compared to a disgraced rapper.
Please stop looking for Black-against-Black conspiracies in every corner. Yeah, AOL is contributing to our downfall with this three-line blurb on Mr. Williams and President Obama. Go to "mainstream" Web sites, and you'll read plenty of infighting among Whites as well. But, unlike us, when it comes to "real life," they unite for their causes.
There's plenty of issues for us to be concerned with, but this nonsense is not one of them.

His vocals may be vary similar to President Obama but that is where it ends at, he look nothing like this president in front view or side view as he states. As a matter of fact meaning no disrespect to golden voice he kind of look like he's AIDs positive in stature which i pray he is not and hope all the success life can bring him.
