Christina Bianco: OMG...What A Voice!

Oh my goodness, what a voice! I was listening to the Broadway Supper Club show on Sirius XM on Broadway. I happened upon a fantastic singer who channeled a variety of fabulous ladies covering "Cabaret." It's odd that I had never heard of her before. Here is a video clip of her (and her "friends" ) singing "Cabaret."

I must say that hearing her for the first time made me laugh and smile. : )

It would be more exciting if she had not kept doing the same act for the last decade.

I, too, REALLY enjoyed her when I first heard her. Listen to her cover of "Total Eclipse of the Heart". It's great. Her Liza and Celine are particularly good. So funny!

It does not matter to me how long she's been doing her "act." The fact is, her voice gives many people great joy. That is what truly matters. I found this on her website.

She is fricken hilarious and can do Cheno's voice to a tee. I cry from laughing every time I hear her. She also sings Let It Go in other peoples voices.

Aside from Christine Pedi and Christina Bianco, are there other ladies out there who do impressions of Broadway stars?

A few years bad. Leslie Kritzer recreated Patti LuPone's LeMouches cabaret and was really remarkable.

Jennifer Simard, Valerie Fagan are also brilliant. Christina like the other ladies are alumni from Forbidden Broadway. The best Cheno impersonation is by Jennifer Simard.
The best Rosie Perez is done by Pedi, The best Merman is Val Fagan, Christina does the best Celine.

And Jennifer does the best Bernadette Peters. Bianco is spot on with Cheno and Bernadette as well. It is Forbidden Broadway training. My favorite Liza's are Pedi and Mario Cantone.

I believe that Natalie Joy Johnson is another performer who does impersonations. Quite well, too.

I tend to like Christine Pedi's better than Christina's impersonations, but they both crack me up all the time.

Somewhat off topic, but just sharing this video of Rachel York impersonating several divas.

Sorry, but when I saw this post I read it as Cristina Branco, one of my favorite fado singers...and wondering why she would be mentioned on this board...
