I find Colleen Ballinger charming, adorable and charismatic. I suppose it proves that she is a good actor because she was able to create a character so far from her real personality that I can’t watch for more than 5 seconds.
And this belongs in CS. So moved.
All right, I’ll quit. For now. But if any Haters show up - EESNOT FAHR!
I am semi-serious about my falling into doing Miranda speech! You know how people can pick up accents - look up some old videos of Hillary when she was First Lady of Arkansas. The funny thing is, I seldom watch Miranda videos anymore, but somehow that ridiculous made-up speech pattern got under my skin.
Colleen Ballinger is very talented, but she’s in her 30s now and I suspect she won’t have much of a future playing an egotistical teen YouTuber. But she’s had a good run and maybe that’s okay. I once remarked that it’s too bad she wasn’t around in the silent film days - her rubbery facial expressions are worth a million.
She was the only guest on the show to remain in character throughout (inasmuch as any actor or comedian is ever not “in character”). Jerry spent the entire episode looking nonplussed.
My kids were into Miranda Sings for a bit a couple years ago so they would easily slide into her speech patterns. I was surprised to see that Ballinger just had a baby and has posted quite a bit about that as well. I don’t really follow her but I am happy for her success.
I can’t take Miranda for more than five seconds, either, but Colleen herself has become one of my favorite Youtubers (as has her sister and former assistant Rachel). I find it droll that she just got married and had a baby with the guy who played Miranda’s boyfriend in the Netflix show they did. Cute little bugger.
I do think it’s time she retired Miranda permanently and did something else. She’s too talented to remain locked into that. She doesn’t need to be another PeeWee Herman.
Slight hijack: I find I’m watching more of these Youtube channels than I am of “regular” TV. Anyone else?
