About 7 out of 10 - especially for sustaining it for so long. Her pronunciation of the Spanish words was impressive too.

She does a great job imitating a Dominican girl from Washington Heights or the Bronx - it's eerie........

Don't see why they ask if it's controversial. It is what it is.

Funny, funny stuff! I grew up in Washington Heights and knew girls in my building just like her character.

I agree with you. The imitation is Spot ON !!! She does it very well (I know PR girls who sound exactly like that too).
And, I am stealing your disclaimer too ;)

It is to YOU because you are British. It would be similar for me, British all sound the same although I am sure you, being from there, can probably distinguish what part of the country they are from and even what social class they might come from.
