St. Petersburg native Sharon Owens will compete against four other celebrity impersonators for the chance to win a $200,000 grand prize as part of Fox's new talent show Performing As . . .

Owens, 36, was shown Tuesday mimicking Barbra Streisand in an episode that featured contestants performing as rocker Jon Bon Jovi and pop queen Britney Spears, among others. The University of South Florida graduate, who lives in California, won $20,000 by defeating four challengers. The two-hour finale is scheduled for Sept. 23.
