Our 7 Favorite Flamboyantly Fabulous Pop Diva Remakes
TRACK: Shakira – “She Wolf”
RECREATED BY: Andrew Foster
THE HOOK: When this video hit last month, we knew a skilled body contortionist would be uploading a remake ASAP. Andrew Foster delivered a scene-by-scene replica that, we’re guessing, he rehearsed and filmed in his parents’ basement. It is excellent.
very entertaining, thanks.
Aww Queerty, you mised the best one!

I Believe In You – Kylie Minogue.
What great enjoyment and release in viewing these, better than sex…OK, maybe not but a close second. I loved the videos Queerty, thank you!
with all due respect to the fire island pines video makers, most of the videos you posted were made prior to their video! might i add, that gayz and drag queens have been doing remakes to pop songs for ages!
I enjoyed all of them because each had really great qualities. Really great job for everyone!
Thanks! What a great video and a great song.
#6, single ladies, are members of the national tour of The Color Purple. So it’s more of a 30′s southern suit thing then 50′s page boy. And it’s done on the set for the show… so random!
They were all pretty good but the last one to Miley Cyrus was my favorite. Shows how out of the loop I am; I thought Miley was country music. First time hearing anything from her; a lot better than her Dad. He was an embarrassment to country music.
I really like Spice Boys 5 doing SAY YOU’LL BE THERE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuYq-SOh5JU
My fav was the Single Ladies one. And I hate that song. LOL.
@KyleR: Agreed. Those dudes were good. I like the styling. And man those pants are tight. They’ve got some bootie along with nice dance moves.
There is a latino version of this filmed in vieques. Much hotter!
Okay, have to jump into this stream…had forgotten about the “spiceboys”…they were one of the first youtube lip-synching phenomena, weren’t they? I agree with Corey, the production values of the Kylie song were fantastic and it deserves to be one of the top choices. However, you are all forgetting Lilly Allen’s “Fuck You”! Perhaps one of the best. The link is:

or if you would prefer the French rendition with the cute French boys, it can be found at

There are a couple of honourable mentions that should be included on this list and they both derive from Glee’s, “Say A Little Prayer For Me”. The first is a group of Otters performing the song – not the best choreographically, but the lead is priceless. It can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Lp3s4ygDw0.
Another version of the song with the best male lead (I believe) and future Queerty subscriber (if he is not already) is found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vuaZILPqA
If you want to see a kick ass live version of Miley Cyrus’ “Party In the USA”, you can always search on Youtube for Nick Pitera – he really is a good singer (and cute too!).
Oops, that last link is a 1 and not an I and can be found at:
