Maybe that's just how it's processed in her brain. It's like saying how many people look the same. It's a brain thing.

[@alessandrolok5450]

When i syaryed listening i could not realy tell the difference between John and Paul because I thought Paul was lead singer, but when you look up the singer of their songs and listen to them again you can hear the difference. Now I can hear it without looking it up. When you hear something more and more you simply become familiar with it, so if your not a fan of the Beatles it is understandable that you can't hear the difference. It is kinda dumb tho that she said "don't they all sound the same" because almost nobody sounds the xD same
