I don't think I know many women who could do Etta that well, Not to mention Satchmo. The puppets are almost secondary to his vocal talents.

And one more...

He has mastered throwing his voice, he's the best ventriloquists I've ever seen!

If I could ask a stupid question ....

I liked the first impression. Which female singer was that?

f6twister

That was by Ella Fitzgerald. He sounded almost exactly like her. Impressive.

Etta James, actually, but it's a common mistake.

Thanks - both of you. I'll look into each of them.

lol I watched the entire season of this damned show because of this guy. I was trying to talk to my mother about something and she was watching it and I ended up sitting and watching with her. Terry Fator came on stage and I was word for word with David Hasselhoff "oh no a ventriloquist...." I've always HATED them. Can't think of much I think is more obnoxious actually.

And then he started performing......

I'm sure I was right there with more than half the american population watching that was slack jawed and glassy eyed saying "oh my god how cool is that!" I've never seen anything like it. hes a funny comedian, a gifted singer, and the most brilliant impressionist I've ever seen.

Impressive doesn't even touch this guy. For once, we have one of these "the best, the top, " or what ever shows that FINALLY picked the most talented person in the bunch, instead of some cute and completely inadequate boob that they think will "sell well". well, they got the sell well part on Fator as well hehehe..

Who wants to go to Vegas to see him with me when they get him set up out at Bally's?

That is awesome. A good ventriloquist is really cool. I watch Jeff Dunham, and he's good too, I think. This guy is better, though. I'm so very impressed by the vocals.

OMG, now I understand what the people at work were yammering about. He is absolutely great

Jeff Dunham is a darn good ventriloquist as well and a gifted comedian.
This one is clean enough to show the kids: The rest... not so much. Gotta be 13+. "Arguing With Myself" ranges from heavy smirk to gut-burning belly laughs. My favorite is Peanut, but Walter and Sweet Daddy are a close second.
