Q-Seattle Events: Tacky Tourist Clubs

Yes. That's Jake Gyllenhaal from last night's Saturday Night Live. Yes he's doing Dreamgirls drag. Gotta love it.

He's no WonderRobbie, but he is J-j-jake GyllenHot.

Mine's huge: Oh, yes... and then there's this repartee between CNN's Anderson Cooper and Larry King sit-in Ryan Seacrest.

Whatever we might have said before, we are now convinced that our favorite YouTube drag queen is so good that hair, makeup, and dresses would only detract from the performances.

We first noticed him because of his amazing lip-sync to Jennifer Holiday's Broadway-cast performance of "And I Am Telling You...".

Just in time for the Dreamgirls movie release, WonderRobbie and his busy camera have released a new performance of "And I Am Telling You..." channeling the new (but never the replacement) diva, Jennifer Hudson.

Jennifer #1 is now worried that her diva status may be rescinded because Jennifer #2 is getting all the attention after the boffo box-office for the movie version of Dreamgirls. Although we haven't yet checked with authorities on diva-dom, we believe that there is room in the diva pantheon for two Efies.

Who could we ask? Unfortunately none of the Dreamgirls divas made in onto the top 10 of divadom voted by LogoOnline users. And that means they must all be dismissed as possible authorities. (And besides, they voted Whitney to the #1 spot. We're sorry, but that just doesn't jibe with our admittedly flawed divameter.)

Fortunately, though, WonderRobbie himself now answers questions from his thousands of YouTube fans. Our question is on the way: Is there room in Divadom for both Jennifers?

Let us clarify from the very start that we're not saying anything else about WonderRobbie, the cute guy in this great vid, except that she he sure does hit it for the lip synch part of a drag act. (And that is a rare talent, after all.)

Let's not assume anything from the cutesy fantasy print hanging on the wall behind him or from Robbie's impeccably pressed t-shirt featuring an exaggerated fantasy chick of some sort. Nothing. OK?

But if anyone wanted to offer costuming and dressing services for him, we figure you'd be hooking up with a star. Come now. Look at him. Look at those eyes. You gotta admit, getting him dragged up as Jennifer Holiday would be fun, no?



Compare his act with Jennifer Holiday's original from the '82 Tony Awards. (Jennifer's solo starts at 3:30 into the scene.) Notice that Robbie avoids doing that shaking chin bit that nearly every Jennifer impersonator falls into. A star, we say. A star.
