In case one Britney Spears wasn't enough, there's now another taking on America.

Derrick Barry left talent judges open-mouthed when he donned a schoolgirl outfit and danced to the pop star's hit 'Baby One More Time'.

The male impersonator, who has performed as Britney for five years, made it through auditions for America's Got Talent earlier this year with rendition of the singer's hit Toxic.

Piers Moron has the open-mindedness of the Taliban and the all the charm of influenza. :P

I'm confused about that article though. Is Derrick Barry aiming to transition? Or does 'he' think of 'himself' as a guy merely impersonating a girl for a career and a way of making a living? The way it's written isn't really clear.

The quote about the world being ready to see that male impersonation is a true art form... suggests the latter. In which case... calling him a transsexual doesn't seem right.

But either way, there's no denying that Derrick looks good. :)
