This is a whole lotta WTF? A hefty dollop of WHY? And a big ol’ helping of “OH DEAR ME…” This is so wrong. What the hell am I watching?
No, it’s not a scene cut out of Spike Lee’s Bamboozled. But it could be! This televised “talent” competition is called Your Face Sounds Familiar where you get to dress up as your favorite performer and impersonate them. How weird is it that a.) the producers said “Sure, why not?” to a minstrel act? and b.) that she was applauded instead of booed or laughed off the stage?
Oh shit. What would Stevie say if… oh never mind. You gotta see it to believe it, I suppose.
