When she transitioned flawlessly from Dolly into Whitney, my jaw hit the floor.

[@DDumbrille]

Whitney was too harsh, to brassy.

[@professorteacher3679]

​@@DDumbrillemas foi "à altura" da homenageada.

[@Ciclopea2]

She has got to perform "Goldfinger" with a full orchestra in a glamorous gown with Dame Shirley's voice, she would bring the house down, amazing.

[@jaclynmenna]

Her Celine is spot on ALWAYS. Its my favorite.

[@neurocat8837]

Jaclyn Menna Mine too

[@toroprathisto]

Jaclyn Menna not here tho.. her celine dion sounds like if celine dion uses a better technique. the real celine dion sounds mooore nasal.

[@sarahwoolley79]

+Mixed pusing love her Celine and Julie best

[@carl-El14418]

Wow, this girl sends chills down my spine when I listen to her! They should make a movie with her! Amazing

[@Janen74]

Carl Williams Great idea! If you haven't, watch Little Voice in waiting for it! Cheers!

[@JohanLebbing]

Her Shirley Bassey is right on the spot.

[@theevilqueenreadstoo]

Jesus! 'I will always love you' was amazing

[@KatharineForsyth]

Shirley Bassey!! That was amazing.

[@akelsey6604]

I WAS THERE!!!!! she was wonderful!!!

[@lvelez1999]

God has really and truly blessed her with such talent

[@grandcarriage1]

The Dolly isn't quite right, but the Shirley Bassey is INCREDIBLE.

[@tam5712]

Love when Christina does Celine Dion :) Amazing

[@marianaduque7301]

The Celine voice to the mannerisms are SPOT ON!!! As a Celine fangirl myself, it is spot on 90s Celine!

[@herbertlongfellow7702]

A brilliant Bernadette Peters and Shirley Bassey👏👏

[@carwyncymru]

cant get enough of watching miss Bianco xxx what a talent. thank you so much for posting xx keep them coming xx

[@faad8746]

Oh my God...Your voice is beautiful, you are amazing!!!!!!

[@alessiapugliese1896]

wow her marilyn is actually pretty good!

[@pikemeredith5604]

She's a great imitator of everyone especially Celine, Dolly & Julie. She has a great voice in her own right regardless of the people she is mimicking. I think she is a cross between Celine Dion & Karen Carpenter with her looks, that's my opinion anyway, but she is very talented indeed. Good on her for learning all those voices. Wonder if she could sound like Karen Carpenter, hers would be a hard voice to imitate.

[@themadmuggleify]

The pianist's expressions when she's singing Celine Dion ahahahh

[@nyla-amarasmit8117]

to say another person somg is 1 thing to sing it is amazing. especially the full high notes when you have to do it in adele or christina or celine its impressibe what she can do. oh and whitney ofcourse

[@cognitogrrl]

Christina, you are SUCH a hoot, and damn amazing singer. You've got a personality that must be further enjoyed to boot. Can't wait to see where you go from here, but i want to see you on your next U.S. tour.

[@holidaysinsweden]

She is SO amzing! Thank you for bringing us this clip!

[@Amandapanda1553]

Her Whitney Huston is flawless!!

[@kg142]

Phenomenal! Touring here across the country in Britain in The Rise and Fall of Little Voice(made famous on stage by Alison Steadman and on film by Jane Horrocks(Bubble from Ab Fab) who she does incidentally. She will go down an absolute storm here. Amazing talent.

[@sammiewatts9150]

silly people she was dolly parton at the start of i'll always love you and became whitney for the chorus

[@revjdavidson]

+Sammie Watts That is because Dolly had released the song in 1982 as part of the soundtrack to "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas", 10 years prior to Whitney releasing the song in 1992 as part of the soundtrack to "The Bodyguard".

[@sammiewatts9150]

Jamesy A. Davidson Music finally someone who knows the facts

[@revjdavidson]

Sammie Watts haha thanks.

[@MediaLover194]

Dolly actually wrote the song in 1973 but recorded a different version for The Best Little Whorehouse...

[@tarnnichollsofficial]

She wrote it for her manager porter Wagner for she left his show

[@nyomi1879]

BEST SINGER EVER😊😊😊😊😊😀😀😀😀😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😃😃😃😃

[@Gallifrey1991]

It's like Whitney Houston is alive again :'( Amazing work

[@faramiomir]

Actually, her rendition of Dolly and Whitney are her weakest points. Other singers, she nailed! :))

[@dastaylor]

Her impression of Celine Dion is so good that her impression of Whitney Houston sounds like Celine Dion impersonating Whitney Houston.

[@mrcongeniality88]

No girl just no

[@jamesn.osullivan4320]

It's not an impersonation of Whitney. Dolly Parton sang that song first. She switches to Whitney at the end.

[@davethomas9269]

Just a sensational performer.I saw her in Swindon; UK in Oct 19.:I couldn't believe what I was seeing; it was mesmerising.It was just her & a Pianist @ a 100 star voices.I hope she comes back to the UK soon.She will be welcomed.XX

[@newtonduck1]

Another great one!

[@Lbartha83]

The celine dion is awesome. Arianna Grande also does a very good Celine dion. I like that Christina Bianco can do this while actually singing in full voice which is something impressionist sometimes have a hard time doing as the voice might crack when they really go for it. But not Christina Bianco! She's very talented

[@Claramata]

Omg awesome

[@colleenkennedy]

Genius!

[@MrIcelander]

I've been waiting for a clip where she does songs that the people she's mimicking actually did, and finally here I found one! And she _nailed_ it...of course she did :)

[@nadiakent879]

Amazing

[@landry2611]

Streisand will always be my favorite, but so many good ones

[@sydneyreid7401]

U are so amazing

[@angelgolds]

I think my favorite of hers are Celine Dion, Kristin Chenoweth, and Bernadette Peters.

[@tu11]

STANDING OVATION 😘😘😘😘

[@theevilqueenreadstoo]

Her Céline Dion is superb!

[@pianom1539]

The best part is that she can also impersonate all of these women as if they were singing in tune and without yelling. :)

[@Paty1972djan]

Sos genial!!!

[@MegaMorphTronpages]

omfg her Shirley Bassey though!

[@pauldriscoll5356]

Remember Billy Srtich, from Houston, the trio "Montgomery, Plant and Strich".

[@HistoricThimble]

LOL @ "Center of Lincoln"

[@neurocat8837]

Is it just me or did she bring Whitney back for a moment.

[@taylorb9484]

As good as she is, I think she needs to really work on her impression of Idina Menzel. I don't think she was trying to caricaturize here the way she may have been in her "Let It Go as multiple singers" act, and her impression is too nasal, even as an impression of Idina in Wicked. Other than that, I really love Christina's singing.

[@purpleshamrock17]

I love her Julie Andrews! It’s amazing!

[@fantastischfish]

Great again! But the Julie Andrews isn't quite there yet.

[@DG-us6rh]

should have done Wind Beneath My Wings with Bette

[@ciaraoneill9846]

She can’t really do Bette’ voice though

[@geordi49]

Her Adele is great

[@jigm6568]

Below is the list of impressions (it seems from what I heard). Are these right? Let It Go - Idina Menzel A Spoonful of Sugar - Julie Andrews There's No Business Like Show Business - Ethel Merman Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend - Marilyn Monroe The Way We Were - Barbra Streisand Goldfinger - Shirley Bassey Skyfall - Adele I Will Always Love You - Kristin Chenoweth then Whitney Houston My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion

[@THEjoanieMACK]

I do believe you're right, but she did Bernadette Peters' "There's No Business Like Show Business" I could be wrong. And the first voice she uses for "I Will Always Love You" Is Dolly Parton. She originally wrote the song with Vince Gill. Whitney Houston did it for the movie. :)

[@jigm6568]

Yeah could be. I wondered about Dolly Parton. I'm not so familiar with her voice, having not heard her songs other than Nine to Five and Islands in the Stream.

[@marcosvalenca]

Joanna MacKinnon Jig M "I Will Always Love You" was NOT written with Vince Gill. Dolly wrote it by herself, although she later recorded it with Gill. Bianco sings "There's No Business Like Show Business" as Bernadette Peters as MacKinnon said. Merman sang very differently.

[@mrcongeniality88]

Definitely Bernadette for 'No Business like Show Business' and dolly for 'I will always love you'

[@conocesar10]

You are correct.

[@mattiemadison1234]

My gay make a wish is to meet her. She is so incredible.

[@googlemailbox615]

Dolly and Whitney...holy shit

[@NoOneHere2Day]

Is that were they filmed the Anderson Cooper show?

[@JordiekinsxxReal]

***** Yeah. Ellen also films there when she's in town.

[@Ozolz]

the adele is............................ i dont know...........................

[@stevenmfreeman3277]

Best are Bernadette and Adele and Celine.

[@neringaCD]

is there a singer she cannot impersonate?:D

[@dots_com1386]

She's amazing, but she's done better impressions of Julie Andrews and Adele for example.

[@janfirbondesto1021]

The song no business like showbusiness should have been ethel merman version...

[@Qermaq]

janfir bondesto And Diamonds should have included Carol Channing, but sadly she can't do EVERYONE!

[@MediaLover194]

For those two, you would have to get Christine Pedi.

[@MyrtheNijenhuis]

i don't really like her julie andrews impression.... :|

[@cameronwhatidoinsparetime8300]

MYRTHE she has done another one of spoonful of sugar it's christina bianco mary poppins

[@moochiwuvschachi]

Whitney was not happening. It didn't even sound soulful. Celine and Julie get me EVERY TIME!

[@Qermaq]

moochiwuvschachi There's nothing soulful about the melody, really, I think she did well.

[@moochiwuvschachi]

I am talking about Whitney's voice...not the melody of the song. After all, she isn't just singing these songs as herself. She is picking out things about their voices and hitting on them to do impressions, which I am sure you are aware of. What I have always noticed about Whitney's voice was that deep soul she always had. Bianco did a good job singing as Bianco...not Whitney. If I closed my eyes, I could tell that is not Whitney. Anyone could.

[@nahuelma97]

moochiwuvschachi Idk about "the soul" as you call it, but I do notice that the depth of Whitney's voice is much, much... Deeper (redundancy put aside) than basically any singer I've heard in my life. You can try to impersonate her and have many of her movements and manners on stage, but if your voice is not that deep, there's not really much you can do about it :/ still, it's one of the best takes on Whitney I've seen around KZbin

[@moochiwuvschachi]

No you hit the nail right on the head! Deep is I guess the word I wanted to use! But yeah seriously, I don't know anyone who can copy.

[@bender6261]

I love her impressions but she cannot do Adele to save her life, she just needs to stop doing that one lol

[@tartfuel]

Bender Her Adele is usually spot on.

[@lilbitkipsy]

+Bender her adele is a great parody yo.

[@avhotaistudios1206]

+tartfuel Yep, she just did Amy Winehouse XD

[@poopyfloot340]

Sometimes she sound like adele, some times she doesn't :D

[@chrischerry4967]

Please don't do Marilyn anymore, that was painful.

[@jaycastro07]

Doesn't sound Celine Dion at all! Celine's voice is much thicker than that though nasal in tone, but her nasality is pleasing to the ear. Christina's is not, she sounds like Kristen Chenowith! Whitney impression is also not 😅

[@brianeduardo1234]

She doesn’t really get any one of them right - just slightly misses them all - is the woman that was SNL? She wasn’t good on that either

[@adamsmith6594]

Julie Andrews 4/10 No idea Marilyn she couldn't sing anyway Barbara Streisand - 2/10 Bassey - 4/10 Joe Longthorn was way better. And he was a him lol. Adele - dreadful just no good Dolly Parton 7/10 even though she didn't sing it like that. Witney - 9/10 Celine Dion - 10/10 even though she is mucking about with her voice she can do it seriously for real.

[@professorteacher3679]

Desculpa, mas eu nem tenho mais palavras para te elogiar. Se eu pudesse, te contrataria para um show aqui, no Brasil.
