    • Her impersonations are usually not very good. Amy winehouse was the best one but Stevie can never seem to lose her accent.

  • Stevie Ryan is funny and creative as can be. I guess u just want to keep recycling Sarah Silverman and her lame poo jokes.

  • I’m not sure I could name anyone on TV who came from youtube. Justin Beiber came from it I guess but that’s music. If there are a lot, the reason is probably because it allows people to form their craft with direct response from the public. They learn what works and what doesn’t early on in their career. Imagine by comparison someone who has only done a few bit parts in a couple TV shows trying to write and star in their own show. My money is going on the person from youtube who has experience producing their own content and has been tested in the public eye.

• Stfu carg0. You don’t know of whom you speak of. Stevie is a very talented, hilarious lady and I’m pretty damn proud to know her. Extremely happy for her. And I hope that twat that cheated on her is kicking himself in the balls that she made it without him.
