SHARON OWENS as Barbra Streisand / Episode 2

[MajiH]

Location: St. Petersburg, FL
Age: 36
Occupation: Housewife and Mother

Personal info: When Sharon gave up her dreams of becoming a famous singer to get married, she did not give up her obsession of Barbra Streisand or the shrine devoted to her. Now, with the help of her family, this ordinary housewife will get the extraordinary chance to become her idol, Babs.

[MajiH]

The real Babs.



Not too bad on this one. They did make her look like Barbra. I'll be interested to see if she can really sing like her.

Sharon Owens is a professional Barbra impersonator, touring the country doing a "Tribute to Barbra" show.

Does it bother anyone else that they've brought someone who gets PAID to impersonate a singer for this show?

Or is it just me?

[greenie]

Yea, that doesn't seem cool. There are many professional impersonators out there. It wouldn't be as much fun if that was what this show was all about.

No, it bothers me, too. That doesn't seem right nor fair to the other contestants that don't do this for a living and really work hard over the two weeks to get the impersonation down pat.

Shame on Fox for this one.

[MajiH]

Greenie, I hate to break it to you, but that AIN'T a pickle in your sig line.... What on earth does that mean, anyhow? No one beats the pickle. How about the turnip. Does anyone beat the turnip?

[greenie]

Hahaha, yea maybe I should take that green thing out. It kinda looked like a pickle though. As for the saying. . . it's about baseball.

[MajiH]

Oh, well that makes PERFECT sense. Pickles and baseballs go hand in hand, ya know. Kinda like salmon and cherries.

[greenie]

They do they do! I'm tellin' ya. I ain't making it up.
