When Maya sang Twinkle Twinkle in Gwen Stefani's voice, she actually given us a hint of a beautiful singing voice she inherited from her mother singer Minnie Riperton.
sistaledaren Creepy? idk, i think it just shows how talented Maya is. She never even tried doing a Gwen Stefani Impression and then she pulled this one off pretty easily, it was perfect.
Her mom wrote that "loving you is easy because you're beautiful song for her." That's why at the end her mom sings "mya, mya, mya..." It's really touching.
+Mr.Magnifico there is a live version where she goes off and sings mya mya mya at the end. It might not have been in the official lyrics but it was definitely written for her and she definitely sang it like that before she passed.
She's funny..wholesome and talented and that has a lot to do with it :) Talented family. Mom is Minnie Riperton(Loving you) and dads was moms producer/husband. Jus lil facts.. She has 4kids! One has Minnie as 1st name.. another as her middle name. Miya's a good daughter and mom in this biz... Loved her mom! RIP Minne!
There is no other woman funnier than her............... Since the 1st time I saw her on SNL many years back........ So awesome to have a woman like her to make us laugh! Gorgeously hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it....................
I love when Ellen knows exactly what her guest is doing, but she puts on that clueless smile and lets them desperately free-play for more time just to entertain herself and the audience. I love Ellen.
I noticed that your videos don't have captions available, I'd like to ask that you add them to be inclusive to the deaf community. Your support and consideration are much appreciated!
Maya Rudolph is the best female at impressions than just about anyone I've heard on TV/movies. She makes some of the best faces that you can't help but laugh! Love you Maya!
Her Gwen Stefani is more Gwen Stefani than Gwen herself.
right? ahahahah
Jajajajajaja
Leonardo Costa congrats on copying another's comment
I love her laugh so much :DDDD
Leonardo Costa I hate Ellen ' s stupid little face.
That is the most normal dressed celeb ever. 😊
Yeah i was about to say it. She is so down to earth, refreshing somehow
Was thinking that too:) how chill.
This was 8 years ago though
Hannah McCallum exactly. It was cool then to dress down
She looks like a WHITE woman
"If you wanna twinkle with my little star"..she made it sound so suggestive lol
I read that in Connie's voice lol (Connie is the name of the Hormone Montress)
Well it's Rihanna after all ;-P

that gwen stefani impression was so spot on
She had 3 SECONDS to think of a Gwen Stefani impression and she did that???!!!!! OMFG!! DAMN MAYAAA!! My favorite snl actress btw..!!!
Its tv... Dont take It literal
Kristeen Wiig is the best
Ian Cutamora different people, different opinions
She already had mastered that one. Still amazing though.
Her mother IS.THE LATE GREAT SINGER MINNIE RIPERTON
When Maya sang Twinkle Twinkle in Gwen Stefani's voice, she actually given us a hint of a beautiful singing voice she inherited from her mother singer Minnie Riperton.
does anyone else notice how sang EXACTLY like Gwen Stefani's pitch? im so mind blown right now...
it's pretty impressive... and she has that mouth thing exactly down.
yoyo ma your mom called, dinners ready.
yoyo ma Calm yourself, child.
Her mother was Minnie Riperton. A VERY talented singer!
That's that Minnie Ripperton coming out on cue 😁 😅🤣😂
Outstanding Gwen Stefani, she made that up on the spot too..
+submissivelover it was so good it was creepy
sistaledaren Creepy?
idk, i think it just shows how talented Maya is.
She never even tried doing a Gwen Stefani Impression and then she pulled this one off pretty easily, it was perfect.
submissivelover yeah she b all kinds of good
Yeah but she dresses a little too young for her age
Orchid1933 Gwen or Mya?
because that's stupid and sexist.
her Gwen Stefani one was on POINT.
Maya is so f-ing spot on w/ the impressions. She's great.

I'm stuck in another goddamn Ellen loop.
It's like being stuck in a Rube Goldberg device
Happens to the best of us
5 years later and I'm stuck too....lol
Haha ditto
A Maya Rudolph loop brought me here
The key part of that Gwen impression was the vibrato. A lot of people miss that when they do an impression of her.
The Gwen Stefani impression was so on point , holy shit.
Red Moon 96 racism is everywhere. Let’s be careful that we don’t fall into that trap, right?
Her mom is Minnie Riperton !!! So talented !
Her mom was the best. My aunt used to play Back Down Memory Lane so much.
Her mom wrote that "loving you is easy because you're beautiful song for her." That's why at the end her mom sings "mya, mya, mya..." It's really touching.
+greekcambodianlove I just Googled the lyrics and there is no mention of mya anywhere.
+Mr.Magnifico there is a live version where she goes off and sings mya mya mya at the end. It might not have been in the official lyrics but it was definitely written for her and she definitely sang it like that before she passed.
Thought she was white. Not biracial.

Just you, you special little snowflake
+Lisa Leuschner Andersen it's not just him, but I bursted laughing with your comment man ahaha
