    Derrick Barry as Britney: Creepy or Cool?

    Posted under Videos on October 31, 2008

    There are a lot of people who will be dressing up as Britney Spears for Halloween this year -- but there is one committed Britney fan out there who takes dressing like Brit seriously the other 364 days of the year! Derrick Barry impersonates the pop princess for a living, and he's really good at it!

    You might have caught Derrick doing his  best Britney on TV shows like America's Got Talent and The Next Best Thing. The first time I saw him, I couldn't believe how much he really looks (and moves) like our Brit!



    So what do you think? Is Derrick Berry so much like Britney it's creepy or totally cool?

      I was there that night at the gypsy in Las Vegas. I was impressed by how much he looked like her. The other performance of her he did that night was much better,

      I am amazed at the true amazing Talent of them both. Britney is always refreshing,new and entertaining and Derrick,well for a guy to minick someone so famous and do it as well as he does,and as flawlessly as he does is sheer talent. Being a female impersonator is hard enough,being just a female..To take on a celebrity and get it right on is very difficult,My hat goes off to Derrick Barry,He is absolutely incredible.

      I think it is so cool when someone can impersonate you so well. So many try to do it and they really do a terrible job. Derrick Barry is awesome he does it so well. Brit ur the best pop diva out there!!

      I think it could be creepy for Britney herself. I mean, i wouldn't like a person who copies everything i do. :? But of cours, he's probobly a great guy. A good entertainment.

    1. Tony said:

      I went to cosmetology school with derricks mom and he came to our school last year to see her and we got him to perform for us. he wasnt in costume or anything, but he is super sweet and soo fun to watch!! love him!

      i love derrick barry! it's incredible how much he looks like her sometimes. when britney wasn't around, derrick filled my britney void.

      I think Derrick's impersonation is very cool. I give him props because he has always chosen to portray our princess of pop in the most flattering ways. At the end of the night, Derrick's wig comes off and he lives his life as a man. I think Britney would really appreciate his sincerity as a tribute artist. He seems truly grateful for the opportunity to entertain her legions of fans.

      i guess u have to make money some how. i don't think he dances that great. in some angles if the lighting and make up are right he does resemble her a bit. But he doesn't do her justice. he needs to work on his body, the skinny legs do not look good. stick to the pants i guess. but I guess it's all fun, so y not.

    1. sarah said:
      Nov 4 2008

      He is awesome! He looks like Brit so much and pours his heart and soul into her performances! He is cool!

    1. moshix2 said:
      Nov 3 2008

      I say it's creepy! He looks nothing like The Fantastic Ms. Britney Spears, and he doesn't dance anything like Brit! Britney is an AH-MAZING dancer! Nothing like this dude

      I think is actually kinda creppy. He can't dance that well, and I don't know, I don't think he looks like her either. Oh well...

    1. Jen said:

      by far the best Britney impressionist I have ever seen. He just needs to work on his dance moves a little. Some ballet lessons would help.

    1. Katalicious said:
      Oct 31 2008

      I guess he looks okay, but something about it makes it seem slightly awkward. He's not as smooth as the real Britney.
      Nevertheless, he's still doing a good job, and I respect what he does. :]

    1. Laura said:
      Oct 31 2008

      I was wondering if that was the same guy from that show. its a little creepy but kinda cool too!

    1. joseph said:
      Oct 31 2008

      why is everyone comparing him to britney? HE IS IMPERSONATING HER...meaning he's a big fan too and he is doing a great job at it, give him credit and stop trying to take this moment away from him.

    1. Kristi said:
      Oct 31 2008

      I think its great that Derrick loves Brit that much to be an impersonator. He does a great job and looks wonderful!!! We all love Britney!
      Heck, I hope I can get my Brit abs back! With her working out like crazy again, its definitely motivated me to work out more believe it or not! When she was on Ellen years ago talking about her 1000 sit ups a day, I started doing 1000 a night and it paid off!

    1. Shawn said:
      Oct 31 2008

      Yeah, it's a little weird but not as weird as his performance on "America's Got Talent". Now that was creepy. It's just weird seeing a dude walk around in women's clothing.

    1. jenny said:
      Oct 31 2008

      i think its cool. but is that a men or what?

      some people here needs to realize that THAT is an imitation of britney. i will like to see more people with that kind of commitment with britney as this guy, because (like it or not to some people) he is doing such s good job.

      Oct 31 2008

      Si uds fans son lo suficientemente fuertes para ver este video lo deberian de ver. Es muy fuerte y los hara recordar algunas cosas del pasado pero sobre todo los hara apreciar la salud mental y fisica en la que Britney permance. Ella es una verdadera estrella no solo por lo que fue antes de su caida, pero tambn por haber salido de ese hoyo antes de que fuera demasiado tarde.

      Nothing compares to the real Britney! It's not the hair, the make-up or the clothing it's just who she is. Derrick is okay, I mean I would definatley cheer him on at a club because of his bravery and his passion, but Britney's Britney (If I had a lot to drink I might think he is Britney) Sorry Derrick. <3

      I think that he's good at what he does,
      I guess...
      But hey, At least someone loves Britney that much.
      I love Britmeister too
      But this is a little creepy..
      I know her dance moves to her Boys, Slave, and Overprotected,
      I just simply love the way she moves...
      (Britney that is. )
