"The portly Jimmy Emerson, however, was the crowd favorite. First as Madonna's
'bigger' sister, and then as Tammy Spraynette, Emerson had
the house howling as he pranced around in his cowgirl outfit, trying to keep his
silicone boobs in check."

"Just
when you're consigned to a string of look-alikes, Jimmy Emerson shows up as a
hefty Madonna. Later, he gets more needed laughs from a fast-traveling set of
falsies as 'Tammy Spraynette.'"

"It's not always
about an exact replication of an icon. Jimmy Emerson is hysterically funny as a
queen-sized Madonna."
- Erin Auerbach, Las Vegas Weekly
"The star of the
show, Frank Marino was on vacation. Was that a bad thing? Not quite. Marino's
replacement, Jimmy Emerson was phenomenal! Emerson was his bubbly self, shaking
and slithering all over the stage with a myriad of costume changes while he
acted as the emcee. . . I have seen Mr. Emerson in other Las Vegas shows but
this was the first time seeing him in a starring role. He is simply
hilarious."
