Separated at Birth: John Mayer and Michael Jackson
We've gotta admit that John Mayer hadn't impressed us. His music was fine if you wanted to give your mom something safe for Mother's Day (anything but that "Your Body is a Wonderland" we should say).
But hooking up with Valley Girl Jessica Simpson is a pretty great score regardless of your feelings about the politics of tuna fish and/or chicken.
However, when we were passed along this link from the blog by an LAist reader, it totally brought a smile to our face.
Could it be that the King of Pop has changed that much in such a short period of time? He went from being a John Mayer look-alike to being a LaToya Jackson look-alike in just a few years?
Hopefully John won't make the same mistake(s) as Michael.
Make sure to click the link for other Mayer look-alikes.
