Derrick Barry - better than the original Spears
Derrick Barry is best known for being a professional Britney Spears impersonator. He’s been featured on the reality competition, America’s Got Talent.
Spears impersonator Derrick Barry moves better and is hotter than the real thing. It’s too bad he’s a guy, and that he can’t sing.
But he seemed to convince at least one of the judges. David Hasselhoff looked confused by the whole thing.
Derrick Barry, who is all man with a diva attitude, impersonates Britney Spears for a living - well enough to make it on America’s Got Talent!
If I have the chance to showcase live vocals, I think that would take it to the next level, says the “An Evening at La Cage” performer who was featured Tuesday on the NBC talent show.
Today’s results show - which, like Tuesday’s effort, was pretaped - will let the world know whether Barry gets cut from the competition or comes back after the Olympics as one of 40 finalists for live episodes of the talent show.
The national exposure is part of a good week for “La Cage” producer Norbert Aleman, whose two long-running shows usually plug along with little fanfare at the Riviera. Of course, “Talent” likes to pretend its contestants walked in off the street, so there was no mention that the 24-year-old Barry has been featured in “La Cage” since 2004. (And absolutely no mention that he already competed on a rival network’s talent show, “The Next Best Thing.”)
Still, it’s an almost-free gift if Aleman and the Riviera can connect the dots back to their revue. Aleman’s B-movie “Las Vegas Crazy Girls Undercover,” featuring cast members from “Crazy Girls,” also sees the light of day soon, with a three-month TV pay-per-view window starting Sept. 24, after nearly eight years of afternoon shows in Las Vegas.
