I particularly enjoyed watching her work the multitrack in this video: [link] She sings the way Brian May plays guitar.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I would suggest it's not just the singing so much as other things through which Gotye makes people think of Peter Gabriel and Sting. The songwriting: the unsympathetic first-person narrator (Big Time, Moon Over Bourbon Street, Every Breath You Take). And the video: it has so much in common with Sledgehammer that I think I'll show them one after the other in my music video lecture next semester.
It's a GREAT video.
Edited because I did a post-and-run and got some song titles wrong.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Weirdly, this cover version also sounds a bit like Sting/Peter Gabriel to me: [link]
