Keke Palmer's Uncanny Shakira Impression Has Us Asking, "What *Can’t* She Do?!"

Keke Palmer's list of talents is officially longer than a CVS receipt — and we all know how endless those tend to be. During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show [1], the Hustlers actress showed off her uncanny knack for impersonating fellow celebrities [2], and each one had us doing an open-mouthed double — nay, triple — take. Keke kicked things off by mimicking Angela Bassett playing the role of Michael Jackson [3]'s mom in The Jacksons: An American Dream, and her exaggerated mouth and shoulder movements were so spot-on, host Jimmy Fallon [4] jumped up from his seat in surprise, much like we did while watching from home.

Next up came the real treat: Keke's impression of Shakira [5], which was fittingly unleashed as a cover of the singer's 2001 track "Whenever, Wherever." The 28-year-old star completely nailed Shakira [6]'s distinctive voice, with Jimmy describing her performance as both "phenomenal" and "unbelievable." The best part? Shakira herself approved of Keke's impersonation [7], writing on Twitter, ".@KekePalmer! You are so cute! I'm dying!" All in favour of Keke hosting Saturday Night Live [8] ASAP, please say, "aye!"
