Question:

Who is your favorite performer of any type, and why?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'll give you an answer that's guaranteed to displease everyone, and I bloody well don't care. My favourite performer is Wayne Newton.

He's been around for ages, doing everything. I caught his act in Las Vegas some time ago, and was totally awestruck. Here's a man who can sing, dance, play seven musical instruments expertly (and he proved it on stage). He's acted in films and television for years, does brilliant stand-up comedy.

What else could you expect from an entertainer? Name one other perfermer who's done as much in so many different fields for so long.

Cheers, mate.
