Paula Randell,  Sony recording artiste, actress and internationally acclaimed  Tina Turner and Cher  vocal visual impressionist. Paula is “the only” impressionist performing quick changes from Tina Turner to Cher  and back to Tina, in one complete show, in the world! Up to as many as 10 total costume changes in a performance.

Paula’s most recent high profile appearance, in 2004, was an 8 week engagement starring in her own ‘one woman’ show   “ladies of rock 2”  at the famous “Riviera Hotel and Casino” Las Vegas. Performing as Tina Turner, Cher and herself.  2001/2/3 she appeared in her very own cabaret room in Palm Springs, California, where, in 2003, Cher’s mother, Georgia Holt attended one of  Paula’s performances. Georgia was enthralled (see snapshots taken in showroom) with Paula’s show and could not believe her amazing ‘lightning’ transformation from Tina to her daughter Cher! Georgia quoted Paula as “the best Cher impersonator I’ve ever seen except for my daughter, and i’ve seen a lot!”,  “when I closed my eyes I thought my daughter was singing to me!”, also quote: “you do my daughter so well!”. “your costumes are fantastic!”. These quotes are a wonderful accolade to Paula.

During her engagement in Palm Springs, her show was critiqued by, Dr. Hal Bargelt of the ‘Bottom Line’ magazine  who quoted in an extensive article revue that,  “Paula is so good she could be a ‘stand-in’ for Cher if she  were taken ill. It would be difficult to tell Paula from the star herself!“

Signed to Sony records Scandinavia, with several single releases to her credit, singing as ’herself’. Paula toured Scandinavia in concert with Scatman John and Wigfield to crowds in excess of 25,000 promoting her 1st club re-mix of the ‘Foreigner’ hit ‘I Wanna Know What Love Is’  also her 2nd release  ’Rock My House’, which she co-wrote.   Both these singles went onto compilations ’Dockside Dance Party Vol 1 and 2’ respectively featuring artistes such as Luther Vandross, 2 Unlimited, Black Box and Livin’joy. “I Wanna Know What Love Is” also featured on the ’Pepsi Cola’ compact dance release of over 65,000 copies.  

In 1999 and 2000 Paula also headlined as Tina and Cher, for ’Mermaid Pride’ and in 2000  appeared with Jimmy Somerville.   Paula has clocked up as many as 18/20 tours of Scandinavia with her ladies of rock show and was dubbed Britain's Tina Turner!

Also, a featured actress in the ‘Xmas special film’ of the long running comedy show ‘Last of the Summer Wine’. (this cameo performance highlights Paula’s ability as an actress and singer to be able to, intentionally sing ’out of tune’ to an ’out of tune piano, with a  rendition of Shirley Bassey’s ‘Big Spender’!)
