Posted: 5/15/09 at 3:08pmDoes Miranda Sings annoy the **** out of anyone else? She is such an attention whore.

No, she doesn't annoy me whatsoever. I can't get enough of her.
And how is she an attention whore?

I think Miranda is hilarious.
And she's not as big of an attention whore as Ryan O'Connor...

Posted: 5/15/09 at 3:14pmI don't see how she's an attention whore AT ALL. I 'd like to know why the OP called her such.

Posted: 5/15/09 at 3:21pmI am friends with her on facebook, and she just seems very- I don't know how to describe it. Very into herself.

Posted: 5/15/09 at 3:23pmThat is the character. You do know that it's a character, right?

Posted: 5/15/09 at 3:23pmShe's not a real person. Her name is Colleen Ballinger and she's a very talented performer. I don't think her "Miranda" character is as funny as everyone thinks it is, but in no way is she an attention whore.

She's not a real person though...
It's supposed to be a joke that she's into herself because she's a character created by Colleen Ballinger.

Sadly, almost everyone I know is very into themselves.

She's a friend, and she's funny as hell.
And she doesn't care that you find her annoying.
And she says thanks for the publicity, hater.

Posted: 5/17/09 at 10:34amI think the character works for the intimacy of YouTube. In live performance (such as the Easter Bonnets and the recent cabaret venue hopping she's done) I think it falls flat on its face. Craig Stevens is much funnier because he has more than one joke.
#19re: Miranda Sings
Posted: 5/17/09 at 2:11pmI think she is talented and funny but I am getting tired of hearing about her. I mean, some people pretty much worship her. Again, that's not really HER but a small group of people who think she is Jesus in a dress.

Posted: 5/17/09 at 4:44pmI think she's brilliant, and not in a "she's so talented" way (though I think the act is very funny). But come on, MAJOR props to Colleen Ballinger for creating this character that would propel her to such YouTube cult following status that she has been asked to perform at some major New York venues, both as Miranda and as herself, and get "seen" by the New York theatre community. That's pretty great self-promotion skills if you ask me.

Posted: 5/17/09 at 5:38pmVespertine, have you seen her live in one of those venues?

I love Miranda.
If I had to guess I would assume she didn't anticipate it taking off as it did, so really any annoyance is that the public bought into her, so like any performer she's just playing into what the audience wants.
I don't think her character fell flat on her face in person. I've seen the vids of her performing in NY and LA and they're hysterical.
If anything I would say the other two in the Miranda videos in NY fell flat on their faces. Craig, I think? And some other girl? They were annoying to me just because they were trying so hard. "Miranda" barely does anything and it's hysterical. Now THAT'S a performer.
But ya know, that's just me.. some may love the antics of those others.
One of the funniest live performance videos is Miranda singing Suddenly Seymour with Barrett Foa... BRILLIANCE.
Don't you wanna be the life of the party?

I think she's hilarious. Before she became so "famous," I thought she was a real girl who actually sang like that and was disgusted, lol. Now that I know it's just an act, I think it's brilliant. She never fails to make me laugh.
Mad props to Colleen. It must be incredibly difficult for someone to sing that bad and off pitch when she's actually a really great singer.

I posted this comment on the video, but Carol Burnett anyone?
