Jane Horrocks as Shirley Bassey

[MadonnaImperia]

Where is this from? :)

[bdrasin]

It's Bubble! I had a really shameful crush on her during the Abfab days based on her stupid-sycophant character

[thegoodrodgarrett]

This is great.

[TinaVukovChannel]

buahah. this is so funny. she did it great.

[synthzero]

Jane Horrocks is an incredible singer and actress! I wish she had more fame than she does.

[cottoncandyboy]

i am a huge shirley bassey fan and this was hilarious, so dead on!

[adrian993]

Is this song a parody of a song that Shirley Bassey sings? If so, what's the song...like the music...

[felilov]

there will be noone like that welsh girl ......

[Fred121212]

It's like Mr Beans more extrovert sister.

[wil3333]

Absolutely Fabulous! :D

[leopictor]

Bassey would never have dared take that last hight note , well done Jane

[Thorneycroft1937]

@leopictor

Never heard Goldfinger? Shirley is famous for her high notes.

[leopictor]

@Thorneycroft1937 Yeah I'm sure she was/is don't know why I wrote that!

[Rosannasfriend]

@Thorneycroft1937 you know I'm as big a fan as you are, but Shirley doesn't hit high notes like the one Jane does at the end. At least not publicly, maybe during her vocal exercises...

[funk192]

meh, Gina Riley does a better Shirley Bassey

[Thorneycroft1937]

@funk192

Agree with you!

[Charmredux]

What a voice! I loved her in Little Voice...

[PeaceFan1]

Brilliant ...FINALLY Jane Horrocks has captured the true joke that Bassey is...all over dramatic and butchering lyrics left and right ..I just don't get her appeal ..Bassey is a bad cabaret train wreck on crack ...Thank you Jane and maxinebendix

[jwkcanada]

Very funny!  Shirely would laugh. (I hope?!)

[jvane2010]

@jwkcanada

i think she will..

[youronlydoll]

@americangalbasseyfan It's meant to be comedic?

[tigerchops]

she was at fearnes secondary in bacup rossendale

[skyeblack1]

she is great loved her in little voice. and abfab

[pastrami1945]

Besides "Little Voice" she was Bubble on Absolutley Fabulous and was hilarious as Edina's secretary!

[helenajesstarzak]

Jane Horrocks is so awesome!

[Flap999]

You said it! Great talent.

[Lukin4SumthnReal]

Wondefully funny and talented!

[Alice45Rodriguez]

Watch the film 'Little Voice'.  She sings all the songs. It is a great film. It is very British.

[jkalin196511]

@Alice45Rodriguez Little Voice was a fabulous movie!

[thewomaninthemoon]

Freakin hilarious.She is just genius.

[Taro39]

Bloody Brilliant!!! lol

[moosey62]

Shirley, Jane xx

[vieno65]

You Jane- Mee Taazan

I love you

[SundownerDrifting]

The face she makes at 0:19? Priceless!

[bustinmakesmefeelgd]

omg she's coming to my school tomoroow IM SO EXCITED!

[madchives]

yikes, lucky, lucky you!!!

[bustinmakesmefeelgd]

omg she was the nicest person and she even signed my worksheet :)

[Musicandcomedyhq]

why was she at your school?

[bustinmakesmefeelgd]

she lives locally and she talked to us about drama and her career

[Musicandcomedyhq]

awesome

[Ramsgate15]

exactly this wouldnt be funny if the lyrics were "im shirley bassey aint i so nice, i help all the kiddies, im sugar and spice" its not a personal attack its merely showing the public persona of shirley, the diva persona

[Ramsgate15]

but the very point of parody is to exagerate somethings and point out little things that person does, not to be cruel but so the audience laughs and thinks, oh god they do do that dont they!

[Ramsgate15]

lighten up! its a parody of the legend, its meant to be an exageration!

[donpazer]

That last note was SO NOT SHIRLEY BASSEY, but great job anyway. Very funny!

[Rosannasfriend]

I know!! LOL.

[umeshalchi]

Jane Horrocks is a genius.

[celinejen]

She was awsome in "Little Voice" She's extreamly talented.

[mmangum4444]

Dead-on and funny!!

[centmillevolts]

horrificly good :-)

[TINACHER1]

BRILLIANT Jane! So well 'mimed'! Your face was a 'picture'. So good.

[lyndaaaaaa]

A very good humourous immitation.

[Jonny253]

The facial expressions were amazing, and the way she perfected them acctually made her sound like shirley (To an extent, obveously)

[AndiJF]

Yes, it's very clever. She's got the gestures and the style down, but it's a little like a Ford Mustang with a Mini engine. The look is there, but the sound just... isn't

Ms. Horrocks can sing all right, but she's not the thunderbolt that is Bassey.

[Rosannasfriend]

exactly!! LOL.

[PanDa46fluffpot]

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[youngvictheatre]

Great! love jane horrocks - she's in a show at our theatre right now and she's brillaint!

[tbrais]

if she sang moonraker i'd be happy

[YellowLloydus]

hahaha

Jane Horrocks is just too funny for her own good

[todd2007]

Best impression of Shirley Bassey ever! lol

[NABARIMA]

Quien podría entender a "los genios " críticos de la Academia al nisiquiera nominar a Jane Horrocks como mejor actríz a los Premios Oscar. Que significará para ellos ser una buena actríz???

[Hickey66]

Jane - immeasurable talent.

God711, I agree.

[coza009]

She looks like Anne Diamond on LSD!!!

Her voice is sooo much better than this.

[GOD711]

I just finished watching "Little Voice". Why she never got a least an Oscar nomination is beyond me. She did everything in that movie except sell popcorn in the lobby (and who is to say she didn't do than, incognito). She is terrific.

[Shurayuki18481]

You're so right!! She was terrific in Little Voice, I actually prefer her version of Big Spender than Shirley's!

[effyleven]

Yes, Jane Horrocks was staggeringly good in Little Voice.

[BTW.. love the comment about popcorn. ;-)]

[rael1999]

She isn't American is why...the oscar would have been nailed if she was....The stupid yanks have given Michael Caine to Oscars...I guy who can't even act !!

[BigSal51]

Anyone who's seen Little Voice knows this woman has an absolutley incredible voice, singing and impersonating such icons as Bassey and Garland (why oh why didn't she get oscar nod DAMN IT!!). Plus she's hilarious and has some serious acting chops...did i mention she's easy on the eyes?

[JrWofulrabbit]

i LOVE little voice!

[brutbear]

shirley is is so drama,that is why so many drags queens love to impersonate her

[kerrpy24vim]

That mouth. Like a bulldog chewing a wasp

[cindb48]

OMG~HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!

[billylow]

hahaha love it

[adelgado75]

I am watching the Amazing Mrs. Prichard

[LoverSniper]

Is there anyone who has more clips from "Never mind the Horrocks" they can post?

[mmsmms2]

just love her, she sings perfekt, and is so funny

[ash180587]

wow damn good job lol

[swisskennedyacuzar]

HAHA!

[lassie123456]

please does anyone have the whole episode. the eastenders sketch was hilarious. the bbc should release it. or channel 4 should show it again

[summerwithoutend]

Couldn't agree more. She is completely amazing and I'd love to see the whole thing repeated on TV. Mystifying that it hasn't happened yet.

[fifibella00]

lol my fav parts are; just after she says 'waiting by the fone' with that little lip thing!! lol and the bit about 7 house, a porshe and a yacht lol

[sitgeshorn]

Been looking fo this for ages, thanks a lot!!!!

[djhillman]

Yes, please - if anyone has her "watch with mother" parody of a children's presenter, it is hysterical...

[limewalk]

this is fab love jane  hahah

[xgianpatrick]

I flair my arms a-larm-ing-ly!!!!!!  ha!!!!!!!!

[Rosannasfriend]

HEE-larious!!! I usually make a point of avoiding watching impersonators, so I'm not sure why I clicked in here. I'm glad I did. She was almost perfect as Shirley!!! I love Shirley, but this lady got some of her quirky mannerisms just right!! LOL.

[glamorousindirock]

Well, i love Dame Shirley, but this is excellent. Jane Horrocks is such a talented actress. She has Bassey's personality and gestures perfectly. 'what have i got? Just seven houses, a porche and a yacht'...excellent.

[fifibella00]

omg she is a legend!! love it!! :D

[riggsy1980]

Fantastic! Do you have the Children's Presenter character she did from the same TV special? It is so funny!

[ecaepynot]

she is brill

[adamamamama]

this is great!

[MrDirector]

Jane Horrocks is the best!!!!! She is soooooo good!!!
