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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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
@@madisongreen7975 SAME
Madison Green omg SAMMMMME

+808aaq I hate that that's how Gwen sounds now.
+stephieirene1 That's how she has always sounded.
How do you know 👤👤👤👤
I have ears.
+Deb Hawkins so do i dude
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
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 😁 😅🤣😂
that gwen stefani impression was so spot on
Maya is so f-ing spot on w/ the impressions. She's great.
David Maine
Love her.. she needs even more flowers then she getting.❤❤❤
is it just me or is Maya Rudolph extremely attractive??
Just you, you special little snowflake
+Lisa Leuschner Andersen it's not just him, but I bursted laughing with your comment man ahaha
Absolutely! I've had a crush on Maya Rudolph for years! Not only is she beautiful, but she's funny, smart and can really sing!

+jchavfour not leave fiona apple for her attractive
The key part of that Gwen impression was the vibrato. A lot of people miss that when they do an impression of her.
her Gwen Stefani one was on POINT.
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.
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
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....................
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?
She nail Gwen tho lmao
Omg I was listening to the audio only but had no problem guessing who she was impersonating. Maya Rudolph is a comedic genius!
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.
She is so freakin' talented. Love Maya so much!!!
Minnie Riperton's baby... ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Minnie
Always loved. Midnight at the Oasis. had ho idea this was her mother
i love how all her impressions are good and she kept saying "i'm terrible at this" LOL. what a talent, so adorable.
The Gwen impression was on point!
Nikita Fox “Nikita” if you are afraid to say BLACK LIVES MATTER out loud, then you are a RACIST.
She killed them all! Most talented actress I've ever seen.
She is more Gwen Stephani than original Gwen,hahahaha!
I had no idea she was Minnie Rippertons daughter. Would have never thought that
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!
Andy's like, I love my job I hate my job I love my job. LOL
Maya is so Gorgeous she has always been my favorite female SNL cast member...
She is an amazing actress...🌹🌹🌹
I was amazed by those impersonations. So, so good. I wouldn't have had a clue how to do Gwen Stefani, but she nailed it.
That girl is talented!
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!
Natalie Zuniga 👏👏

Maya look just like her mother Minnie.
I know I commented before but the Gwen Stefani impression, so spot on. Maya Rudolph is a gem!
OMG, she did a perfect Rihanna at 2:27, how did Ellen not get that? LOLLLL
MRVEGAS i rolled
honestly that could be any female artist but I see how it would fit rihanna more
Rihanna does not sound like that
Her Gwen Stefani is SPOT ON!!
Since leaving SNL in 2007, Maya has only appeared on the show 56 times.
That Gwen Stefani impression was amazing!!!
GWEN WAS PERFECT!
oh my god!! she nailed the Gwen Stefani impression

The first yearbook picture of Ellen looked like Glenn Close
I've watched bridesmaids about 10 times and Maya was great in this movie. She's just lovely!
Love Maya and her Gwen Stef was good, but the other two sucked. To do Nicki Minaj you gotta do like a New Yorican baby talk thing.
Maya is crazzzzzzi funiii 🤣🤣🤣
Wow amazing Gwen impression!
