Total Eclipse of the Heart - Christina Bianco

I usually don't go down this road, but I decided to be different. Bianco is an actress and comic. It doesn't seem like she's had her "big break", yet, but she's awfully funny and talented if you ask me. I'm a sucker for impressions, and she ties them together with music very well. You can check out Christina on her website. Some of her impressions are of people I don't really know, and a few others aren't quite spot on the mark, but some of them, wow! Overall, they're pretty good. She's an excellent vocalist regardless.


As for the song, it is a huge hit from the eighties, having been featured in several films throughout the years and parodied by even more, but it also stands as a hit all on its own. Originally recorded by Bonnie Tyler, the song took the #1 spot in the US and several other countries. It was Tyler's biggest hit, and it's been covered by many other artists through the years. My favorite cover is below; I'm sure quite a few of you have heard it.

If you're still not sure where you've heard that one before, let's try one more video.
