It turns out that musician Rob Cantor lied, and enlisted the help of 11 different impressionists for his “29 Voices: 1 Song” clip, and just lip-synched his way through it. Proof positive you should never believe anything on the Internet.

(NSFW) Comedian Melissa Villasenor mimics female stars, from Wanda Sykes to Christina Aguilera. She doesn’t get all the voices right, but she makes up for it with her facial expressions. Her Natalie Portman is hilariously accurate.
