I particularly enjoyed watching her work the multitrack in this video: [link] She sings the way Brian May plays guitar.
Willow: It feels like we're going around in circles. Xander: Our circles are going around in circles. We got dizzy circles here.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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]
