The Swiss army knife is one of the worlds most ubiquitous tools, precisely because it’s so versatile. One tool with dozens of functions, what’s not to love?
That same quality is what makes Christina Bianco the absolute powerhouse of talent that she is!
One woman. With as many voices as you can imagine. Christina’s an American actress, singer and more impressively: impressionist. As if conjured by magic, she is able to impersonate a huge range of singers and bring them right into the room. Close your eyes, and you can’t tell that Celine, Adele, or Cher aren’t right there on stage in her place.

In one particular video, her incredible talent for impersonation is simply mesmerizing.
With a pianist to help, she performs Bonnie Tylor’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” as Adele, and 18 other divas including but certainly not limited to Celine Dion, Shania Twain and Julie Andrews.
When she begins with Adele, she completely “becomes” her.
Her voice and singing style completely conform to Adele’s and every little detail of Adele’s voice can be heard in Christina’s.
Then when she breaks out her Cher, holy cow!
Could there be more of a dramatic change than between Adele and Cher? With Cher being such an iconic singer, you may have heard someone attempt to sound like her before, but never like this! All of Cher’s idiosyncrasies are perfectly nailed.
Then comes Shania Twain, instantly recognizable!
This is followed by Edith Piaf, the French diva. Then Bette Middler! Every time the voice changes the audience lose their minds.
Then Mary Poppins makes an appearance!
With even the arm gestures of Julie Andrews, Christina brings her to the stage. Using little hand motions, and nailing the accent, Julie Andrews has officially arrived.
And her Celine Dion is insane!
She does Celine as well as Celine does Celine! The little inflections in her voice, Dion’s fancy little trills are all there. Seriously, close your eyes and tell me that’s not actually Celine Dion! You can even see the Celine in Christina’s face as she embodies her 100%. Needless the say, the audience go wild.
A little Nora Jones, anyone?
With another dramatic shift, Christina slows it right down with the sultry, jazzy tones of Nora Jones. Once again, the Swiss army knife of performance proves just how versatile she is!
Christina Aquilera’s the only person who can sing like that right?
WRONG! As if it were nothing, on a dime Christina Bianco transforms into Christina Aguilera and belts out Bonnie Tylor’s hit like you’ve never heard before.
And her Shakira don’t lie!
Well, you can’t really hear the words because that’s how good the impression is! Again, such a unique singer isn’t so unique when someone can copy you exactly.
Not even Zooey Deschanel is safe!
You could even mute the video and hear Zooey in your head when you see how Bianco’s impression is so well physicalised. Of course, why would you ever want to do that when hearing her impressions is so incredible?
Nothing ironic about this Alanis Morissette!
Yet another complete transformation that will leave your jaw on the floor is this Canadian/American singer songwriter spontaneously appearing on stage.
And for the true diva fans, a little Barbara Streisand goes a long way!
For fans of musical theatre and great singers alike, this Streisand is just the treat you need! In addition to these impressions, she fits into the same routine: Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears, Judy Garland, Patti Lupone, Liza Minnelli, Bernadette Peters and Kristin Chenoweth…just WOW.
Watch the full video below to be blown away by Bianco’s arsenal of incredible musical impressions.
