This has probably been posted before, but who cares?
Hands down, the best Liza imitation ever.
Forbidden Liza One-Note
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I LOVE Christine Pedi!
But I think the original Liza One Note, Linda Strasser, is still the best.
You can hear a clip on Amazon.

I just adore Christine Pedi. This is one of my all time favorite YouTube videos:
And I Am Telling You
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

Posted: 5/13/10 at 12:15pmPedi's Bernadette is wonderful. Her Lansbury is uncanny.
#6Christine Pedi: BEST LIZA EVER!
Posted: 5/13/10 at 12:24pmThe first time I saw her Bernadette it took me a moment, but when I realized who it was, I was just amazed.

I always thought Liza was the best Liza ever.
She's not dead yet!

Nah, Pedi is better.

Posted: 5/13/10 at 3:13pmWho knew Lansbury was so ripe for parody? Pedi is the best! Her Nancy Grace in NEWSical was phenomenal.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

As an impersonator, Pedi always delights because she so obviously loves these women.
She reminds me of an impersonator I loved when I was growing up: Marilyn Michaels, here doing Merman, Connie Francis, Garland and Streisand, which was her specialty.

Posted: 5/13/10 at 6:56pmI love Miss Michaels. Daphne Davis was also very good. She worked in Las Vegas in the 80s.

I love Pedi too.
