MDNA, Whooooo?
Some of you out there maybe know the infamous tweet Cher tweeted saying: "WTF is MDNA?" I personally loved it, and haven`t had any problem with having a big laugh at Madonna for that. (Even though I love Madonna). But that is not the thing, The thing is that a British smart person had a genius idea to start a YouTube empire known as Charlie Hides TV.
What he does is basically drag. He dresses up as the great divas and icons of (pop)culture. His repertoire includes pop goddess Cher, queen of pop Madonna, new queen of pop Lady Gaga, show business legend Liza Minelli, newcomer diva Lana del Rey, comedy icon and legend Joan Rivers, barbara "the nose" Streisand and many more. Also he has created some characters of his own like "Pop Shizzle" hostess "Laquischa Jonez" and a manager. What he does with them is putting them into certain situations, music video parodies and letting them attend at "Divas Anonymous" meetings. He even has created a prayer for the divas at the "DA" meeting. The prayer is as follows: "God grant me the serenity to accept that younger divas have taken my place. The courage to turn down six figure offers to appear on reality TV and the wisdom to not be seen in public without make-up. Gay men." So to let you know what sort of video he makes i have gathered my favorites here for you:
My all time favorite is called "Shit Cher Says"
My favorite Lady Gaga and Madonna parody by Charlie: "The Lady is a ... - Lady Gaga and Madonna parody"

Charlie here impersonates Cher and does some of the crazy catchlines the diva herself has used throughout the years. But he also did many jokes on his own and its actually really funny. But he always pays homage to her, since he is a big fan of Cher. Best is that he does look a little like her and that he does a great impersonation of Chers voice. The catchphrase of his Cher definitly is: "Whooooooo?"
Here Charlie puts Gaga and Madonna into a duet and instead of just singing they just sing against each other. And that is quite funny. Actually it is very cool to see that Charlie does it all by himself. And he really has taken on the Madonna - Lady Gaga feud. In some videos we see Madge and Gags exchanging admiration for one another, that in the end they just do it for publicity! The catchphrase of Madonna would be. "You are reductive!" and Gaga's would be "Your so old!"
To see the rest of Charlies repertoire you have to go on YouTube and look for yourself. So go ahead and dive in to the world of Charlie Hides TV.
