Retro: Bosom Buddies (remake)

This video is from a 4-episode comedy series that involved the stars remaking the opening sequences of a "classic" television show. 

Retro: Bosom Buddies

 When Cillian Murphy won the Oscar for Oppenheimer, I noted that the talented actor had femulated in multiple films. Tom Hanks, of course, has multiple acting Oscars and began his career in a dress. I'm guessing many young people in the community don't know that.

Here's a peek at the credits:

It seems very difficult to find any more substantial videos of the performance en femme. 

Retro: The Odds

From 1993, it's "Heterosexual Man" featuring video appearances from some members of Kids in the Hall. Spoiler: towards the end of the video the entire band femulates. 

Here's an image of Dave Foley from the video. 

Tayce dancing

 Drag queen Tayce won the UK's Strictly Come Dancing Christmas edition in 2024.

Blu Hydrangea can dance

Drag star Blu Hydrangea was on a recent season of Ireland's version of Dancing with the Stars. I missed this when it happened. Sorry. 

Donald and "Rudy"

Happy New Year! The first 20 seconds are the set-up. 

 

Kuba Szyperski

It's a new season of Twoja Twarz Brzmi Znajomo and Kuba Szyperski is already the breakout star. Over at the The Cover Gurlz, I posted a couple of recent videos of Kuba singing as 2 female vocalists. Great voice! Apparently Kuba has performed in feminine/drag roles in Kinky Boots and Chicago. The Instagram page has pics. 

Here's Kuba performing as Celine Dion, which is a third impersonation:

Dueling Grande

 Over at the other blog. The Cover Gurlz, I've previously posted a video of Marek Kaliszuk performing as Ariana Grande on Twoja Twarz Brzmi Znajomo. Recently Stana posted an image from this outstanding performance. Here it is again:

It reminded me that this is a common femulation on these shows. For example, actor Dávid Hartl recreated the same performance on Tvoja tvár znie povedome:

I blogged about another performance but it has disappeared from YouTube, unfortunately. Anyone know where to find it?

Multi-tasking

Supremme de Luxe is sort of the Spanish Rupaul. She is a drag queen, hosts a drag queen TV show, and sometimes sings. 

In this case, she is appearing on one of those "Your Face Sounds Familiar" TV shows, Tu Cara Me Suena. Specifically, in this video, Supremme de Luxe imitates Ava Max on the song "Sweet but psycho." 

 

WRS & Emilian

 I really like this performance of "Cell Block Tango" from Chicago on the TV show Te Cunosc De Undeva: 

 

Here, the talented duo perform as Thalia:

   

 Over at the Cover Gurlz, you can find videos of these performers as Whitney Houston and ANDRÉ.

Marcin Januszkiewicz

These pictures are from the Polish TV show Twoja Twarz Brzmi Znajomo in 2023. Unfortunately, I could not locate video that I could easily put here (but there's one link in the next line). I found images of a Debbie Harry performance, but it was not as interesting to me. 

Marcin is performing as Reni Jusis in the first 2 pics and as Celine Dion in the last one:

Tribute to Madonna with AOC.

Park's Places

 I have not seen the Netflix series "Cowboy Bebop," and know very little about the Japanese anime original, but there is one bit of information worth reporting. Non-binary actor Mason Alexander Park plays a character named Gren.

Park has an active Instagram page that you might want to explore:

Park has also played Hedwig, the emcee in Cabaret, Frank-N-Furter in "Rocky Horror," and the title role in "I am My Own Wife."

Marics Peti Sings Golden Eye

 The first 30 seconds of the video lacks vocals -- the show was having a microphone problem. But it's worth the wait. Nice gown. 

Leona Winter / On the radio - Donna Summer

From the commercials I've recently seen, I learned that Leona Winter is going to be part of the singing cast on the new US television program Queen of the Universe. It will be on Paramount + starting December 2.

Rupaul is an executive producer. 

 

Courtney Act: Interviewer

Courtney Act is now conducting interviews for the Australian ABC News program "One Plus One."  Here's the trailer:

This look from her interview of Thomas King is spectacular (the second image here, but all are the same hairstyle):

Paweł Góral as Céline Dion

Fantastic look. Sounds feminine, but maybe not exactly like Celine Dion. This was on Twoja Twarz Brzmi Znajomo, which I believe is Polish.

Pandemic Performers

This is Radu Ștefan Bănică performing as Kate Hudson on the Romanian television program Te cunosc de undeva. Radu is singing "Cinema Italiano" from the 2009 film "Nine."

This is a link to the original video and this is a link to the version on the TV show's website. YouTube does not have the latter.

Earlier this season, Radu performed as Loredana.

Additionally, an earlier performance as Lady Gaga is on YouTube. 

The Show Must Go On

While the world continues to struggle with a pandemic, television programs all over the world are resuming. For example, Tu Cara Me Suena in Costa Rica has broadcast new episodes for some weeks.

The musical duo "Chillax" has performed as Shakira and JLo. The video posted on YouTube is not of high quality, unfortunately. I did find it on Dailymotion:

 They also performed in the summer as Natti Natasha and Thalia:

Here's a very short snippet of video of their performance:

 

Singer on TCMS

This is Mario Vaquerizo as Paulina Rubio singing 'Boys will be boys'.



Ignore the voice, focus on the energy -- and the look.

Mario also performed as Lola Flores and other singers on the program.
