Today I was listening to a young woman who has a similar timbre and fluidity in her voice. I have known of this young person for a couple years but had never notice the similarities between her and Lady Gaga. They are both singer/songwriters; both are approximately the same height (only an inch apart), both were born in the same city, both are nearly the same age (approximately 10 months apart), both hail from the same old country (Italy); both are interested in dancing, theater, and singing; and both have a similar smile and original hair color. I was thinking they could be sisters. I am talking about Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga) and Francesca Battistelli. Both Francesca and Lady Gaga have lovely voices. Francesca grew up in a musical family with each of her parents involved in musical theatre.
