I'm pretty sure the other one is Rosie O'Donnell. Especially with all the "cutie patootie's".
Her Bernadette is usually better, it actually made me sad. I don't think her voice was really letting her do it that night. Usually it sounds spot on, not just in mannerisms.

#8 Rosie O'Donnell
That MADE MY DAY!!!!
Bernadette's was pretty frightening. Uncanny.

Amazing, just amazing.
As brilliant as Bernadette and Merman impressions were, it was her Julie Andrews that is still making me laugh, just insanely on spot. Love it.

Posted: 7/9/07 at 6:03pmIsn't #1 supposed to be Judy Garland?

I think # 8 is supposed to be Rosie O'Donnell. She does the Betty Rubble laugh and says "Cutie Patootie".
I could be wrong but thats the best I can think of.
Yes that's me. No, it's not a Rent homage.

Posted: 7/9/07 at 6:09pmMorosco, I got Judy Garland from #1 as well but everyone seems to agree that it's Liza.

Posted: 7/9/07 at 6:16pm#1 was her Judy Garland. Her Liza is in more of a state of hysteria and has a higher toned voice with more vibrato. And yes, #8 is Rosie. Her Bernadette is my favorite though.

"She needs her own tv show. Maybe it's time to bring back the weekly variety show!!"
Gothampc--I kept thinking the same thing. If she didn't have her own show, she would be guest-starring on everything.
She reminds me a bit of Marilyn Michaels (if anyone remembers her from the Variety Show era).

Posted: 7/9/07 at 6:31pmMarilyn Michaels' Barbra was supposedly dead on, but I never heard it. Then again I've never heard anyone quite get Barbra just right.

I clapped through the whole thing, but her Bernadette really got me. I laughed out in the office. I think she started with Judy, too. (I didn't think her Rosie was very good, though. :/)
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

Posted: 7/9/07 at 7:13pmluvliza- Marilyn Michaels was truly amazing- especially her Streisand. When I first saw this video, I thought she was lip syncing to Liza or Judy- I didn't even realize it was actually her doing the voices. When she started channeling Julie Andrews in the middle- I broke out laughing- just the thought of Julie singing this song is funnny and then she was dead on! Now if Rosie was still on the View, I'm sure this would have been on the show. Thanks for sharing! Loved it!

Her Kate Hepburn was quite funny. "You old poop." (Did I make it out right, or was it "You old coot"?)
And was she trying to imitate Christine as Little Edie, or Little Edie herself?
All together, quite possibly the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. The best performance I've heard of "And I Am Telling You..." since Jennifer Holliday.

Posted: 7/10/07 at 11:15amThank you, jv, for posting about Little Edie. I only got Rosie that one little time. I knew that's who she was doing.

you are right it is "you old poop." Most people say it when they are doing old Hepburn.

That was not Liza. That was Judy.
You people should really learn the difference.
Or maybe Liza should.

Yeah, I'm surprised you people don't know the difference between Liza and Judy.
Some of you are loosing points on your gay cards.
I love the last "you're going to love........ ohhhhhhhhh"
As Julie Andrews.
It took me a while to recognize Bernadette, but it is dead on. Not very flaterring for Peters, though.
Brava, diva Pedi.
Personally, I think I have too much bloom.

Posted: 7/11/07 at 6:17pm#1 is definitely Judy. I could tell from the arm movements. I think she sounds exactly like all of them except Rosie and Bernadette. My favorite is her Julie.
