Comedian and impressionist Christina Bianco is described as a “comic firecracker with a pyrotechnic voice, drives the audience wild” by Ben Brantley of the New York Times. Indeed, when she sang Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” in the voices of 19 of the world’s most iconic divas, her audience certainly went wild. As she told Ellen on The Ellen Show, she performed this piece after midnight one night to a noisy crowd and almost didn’t even upload it because she felt the quality was poor. Wow, are we glad she did upload it! And so is she. It’s skyrocketed her career.

True story: my teen son and I were riding in the car last week and I had this song playing on my iPhone. He couldn’t hear it, but he could hear me. I was soooooo channeling Bonnie Tyler! He said “Really, mom….really????” I said “Hey! You don’t know what this does to women who grew up in the 80s! I’m sitting on a powder keg and giving off sparks!”
