JIM BAILEY Classic Barbra Streisand

[doothless]

Barbra..what a genius in so many dramatic areas!

[egames170]

He kills

[lizzfrmhon]

how the hell does he have boobs?

[sweetfuckingchrist]

@lizzfrmhon It's called contouring and a chest piece.

[popazz1]

All he needs is the voice!

[blackwhimsy]

How the heck does Jim get such a convincing cleavage? It looks like bare skin,not falsies.

[LiviaLvinLife]

wow, i hate to say it but itss pretty good, especially the beginning when she sort of noods her head and looks down, then regeering her mouth shape. She is a very gorgeous women in real life though and I do look up to her imensley so usaully i would be 'stop taking the mick out of Barbra' but i guess he is an impressionist and its a good impression. He cant sing like her though. funny girl <3

[JTH2327]

YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

[christentze]

this is pretty damn perfect! haha. he's got all her mannerisms down, especially with the hands and the "swooning" thing she does. im not sure how to describe it, but she kind of swoons around when she sings.

[Rayarena]

He's amazing. He imitates all of her special and unique face and hand gestures, down to the smallest one. Even his voice sounds like Streisand's. And that's no easy task! This is what makes him so convincing. Nowadays drag queens are only interested in looking like a particular star and for this they have plastic surgery, implants, etc.. and while they end up looking like the woman in question, they aren't real artists, like Bailey. Baily is a true illusionist.

[chinzebo]

Is not this great actor the absolute BEST!!!!!!

[SpamSpope]

omg for the first minute I had no idea it wasn't barbra. This guy has got her down!!

[Treklady]

What poeple do not relaize, is that is more than just the voice. You need to have their mannerisms down as well and Jim nails it every time.

[carlymichelle1234]

He is freaking AMAZING.

He has EVERYTHING DOWN.

Her movements, like all the little stuff.

Wow

[tonyjay]

I've never heard of Jim Bailey before seeing this. I am now a fan. What an incredible performance.

[belamisoizanteneuf]

This performance is simply perfect!

[Pectoris4]

Fantastic performance- one could swear that this was Barbra herself!

[burffle]

Jim is performing as Judy at The house of Blues in Hollywood Sunday  June 29th

[Joasia9]

And that's him singing; no lip sinq?  Cause when he sang as himself, his voice was quite flat. So who's the best impersonator today? BTW. It was quite brave of Carol to bring him on. That kind of performance wasn't tolerated on national television, back then. Although there was the episode on All in the Family.

[jcowens2000]

wow

[elsa8001]

Who is this guy!?!? And what NETWORK show as THIS!??!!?

[jearne]

years ago in the dark ages before your birth there was a Show called The Carol Burnett Show It was on the air about 10 years or more. Who is the guy? Jim Bailey arguably the best female illusionist ever.

[adelgado75]

Whose special was this?

[rickenba]

LONG LIVE THY ARTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSI­ST! MY HEART WILL BE FREE!!! r.i.p. mR, BAILEY

[148jules]

Did he pass away? I tried to google him but nothing updated?!

[BROADWAYFAN887]

ONE OF JIMS BEST

[LAVIEENROSE33]

Absolutely incredible performance.

[burffle]

I "DO" Believe that is a Bob Mackie creation!!! PLEASE, "PLEASE, PLEASE PUT THESE ON DVD MR. CAMPBEL!!!"

[terry112354]

What a treat to watch and listen to Jim's Barbra!!

[mmvonr]

I would so love to see these in a DVD collection--thank you for sharing these!!!

[prorosemorgan]

Please, please keep putting up these vintage clips of Jim as vintage, classic Barbra! They are absolutely chilling! The Color Me Barbra-esque set is sensational!

[Jennmoore69]

Jim is by far the best Barbra impressionist there is, ever was and ever will be. Jim has the entire Barbra down pat, from the perfect hair, the chiffon Central Park Concert-like gown to the mannerisms, plus that is Jim singing himself as Barbra. Simply Perfection!!

[Jennmoore69]

Actually, the dress is a take off on the Irene Sharaff designed Central Park pink outfit and the Donald Brooks designed pink & green gown Barbra wore on the cover of LIFE magazine in 1964.

[JAZZGUY55]

I think you are right...from someone else that remembers isnt Jim great?
