Jimmy, I wish you had the spotlight that many drag artists have today. Not trying to be rude or ungreatful because many of them are truly talented. But you have more talent on the tip of your toes than many famous drag artist of today will ever have. I mean, this is exceptional. 👏 👏 👏
Jimmy, you make me cry. 😭 San Antonio, TX born and raised, I am. I went to John Jay High School, you went to Oliver Wendell Holmes High School. So close we were yet WORLDS away. Life is so astounding for me in such bittersweet ways at times. Love Ya, Girl. 💕
Ebony & Irony brought me here. Coming from the Philippines and being a child in the 90s, I only knew of Jimmy James because of his hit song "Fashionista". I enjoyed his interview with Lady Bunny so much that I had to see videos of him doing all these impersonations right away. This is amazing! Jimmy just gained a new fan. 💜
I've seen him do Marilyn many times but that's the first I've heard those other voice impressions. Both his Billie Holiday and Judy Garland are UNCANNY. Very talented fellow.
What a taleeeentttt... The voices are amazing. I always come back to this video from time to time to find this exceptional artist commited to such an amazing job. Chapeau! ❤
Thank U Felipe! Coming soon TheBoyWhoWasMarilyn.com an accompaniment to the GoFundMe.com page. We’re in the process of making a demo reel to shop to all the platforms in hopes of getting a full length documentary made. Just help spread the word. Thanks! JJ 😊
He was absolutely brilliant!!! His Streisand voice was amazing and Billie Holiday. The best I ever heard. His spectrum of impersonations. Incredible. The poor guy passed a while ago. He'd be making a fortune headlining in Vegas today! God rest his soul🌹
What is amazing is how even out of costume he captures marylin by communicating with his eyes and mouth the way she did in that very idiosyncratic way,that strange subtle inflating and deflating of the eyes and mouth. Those unique hesitant quirky yet seductive mannerisms she had.
Jimmy I’m speechless. We knew Kenny Kerr who opened for Joan Rivers as Joan Rivers in Atlantic City. I have to say your voice and performances are the absolute best of the best. There are a few very talented impressionists but you go beyond them all. Did you work with Seth Riggs? I am now your major fan. Thank you for your work.
I saw Jimmy perform in Dallas around '91. He is amazing live. Of course he was still doing Marilyn back then. I wish he hadn't stopped doing her, but I can understand him wanting to move on. God bless you Jimmy. I love you!
That was then. Now, a new array of female impersonators are doing much more than Jimmy James. Courtney Act (Shane Jenek) from Australia is now an absolute force. He has done RuPaul's Drag Race and many reality TV shows and now already has a book that is an audiobook on iTunes. If Jimmy James tries to perform on RPDR, RuPaul would reduce him to tears. Jimmy was a bitch off stage and RuPaul is far worse.
@onehotminutex Was thinking the same thing! With absolutely no change in make-up, Jimmy's face very nearly becomes Bette! Such an extraordinary talent.
I have been obsessed with lookalike and sound alikes.I might give them ten seconds and stop it.Say to myself okay not bad but not quite there.But you are perfect.If my son ends up being a drag artist he better be as good as you lol.
He's probably related to MM somewhere down thru the generations, we'll never know but he looks like her as he is, it's spooky but he is a very talented guy.
NO - NONE. I would not have been able to afford it. And I was so lucky to have straight teeth too. Because I would never been able to afford dental work either. Everybody in my family had crooked teeth issues except me. I was blessed. No surgery.

The Billie Holiday voice was amazing.
The Ertha Kitt voice was fab.
Judy Garland was exceptional.
Streisand had me in stitches. 😆

Jimmy James is extremely talented! WOW!!!
I agree. Best Judy Garland voice impersonation that there is. All of his voices are spot on.
That Billie Holiday voice just freaked me out! It was so spot on! Wow! This guy is really talented!
Most talented person ever! No exaggeration.
Great interview by the lovely Joan Rivers (rest in eternal peace) .Such a talented man Jimmy James...and still is. Love and respect from the UK Jimmy.

WOW, he was spot on with his impressions.

Fantastic 🇦🇺🌹❤️🇦🇺...
Jimmy is prettier than some girls I know, LOL.

What a talent omg
I loved Jimmy, seeing him on Donohue and Joan. He retired Marylyn.
Del Cee yup. In 1997 I moved on to focus on my Voice Impressions & Dance music. #Fashionista
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO 🇦🇺🇦🇺👏👏👏👏👏🇦🇺🇦🇺....
So strange to see someone break out a cigarette on a talk show. How times have changed.
this is' the one' whom should play marilyn in movie.
Wow! If Jimmy James could do Eartha Kitt, that WOULD be something.
Honestly his Barbra Streisand vocals are uncanny!
Oh my god so talented and beautiful gagging
talented
@onehotminutex Was thinking the same thing! With absolutely no change in make-up, Jimmy's face very nearly becomes Bette! Such an extraordinary talent.
His Judy Garland is amazing! So is his Bette Davis! Holy Shit! His barbra Streisand too!
No one is as good as you
so are you kid x
Did Jimmy go to high school at Madison HS in San Antonio,TX?
I have been obsessed with lookalike and sound alikes.I might give them ten seconds and stop it.Say to myself okay not bad but not quite there.But you are perfect.If my son ends up being a drag artist he better be as good as you lol.
Sorry but those who lipsync don't have any talent beyond dressing up, this is real entertainment
He's probably related to MM somewhere down thru the generations, we'll never know but he looks like her as he is, it's spooky but he is a very talented guy.
Man.... That Barbra Streisand!!! Wowww.....
His Streisand is uncannily accurate
He shouldve been huge.
Judy garland is so SPOT ON it's almost scary. too funny.
He is so talented and awesome. Makes me wanna learn to impersonate some woman lol
Jinx Monsoon has watched this video fooor sure.
I just realized jimmy is prettier than me
Can't believe this guy is jamaican
no wonder why he looks so much like Marilyn and the others, and get away with it, he is such a pretty man!
Prophetic on chaz lol
U caught that! I had inside information.
jimmies great!!! it's funny chastity is Chaz now....
Great impersonator.
The original snatch game
charlie Yaas, great observation! Love it!
No he isn't. He is from Texas...
He surely must've got some serious surgery done !
NO - NONE. I would not have been able to afford it. And I was so lucky to have straight teeth too. Because I would never been able to afford dental work either. Everybody in my family had crooked teeth issues except me. I was blessed. No surgery.
