Impersonate is a verb, while copycat is a noun. Impersonator is a noun that means a person who impersonates.
Impersonator is the same as copycat, but more formal

@Kitty_Cats Thanks a lot for the help. Isn't "copycat" commonly used as a verb? Like new domestic wines copycat the expensive imports?

You could say”
I am impersonating Lara Fabian”. That would mean that I am pretending to be her
When a person does something , like kill people in a church or a club, and other people start doing the same thing— that is a copycat action.
That is why FVI always says that they are afraid of copycats- similar action inspired by someone’s first time action.

@Sanja_Hunt Thanks a lot for the feedback. So the word "copycat" is usually used as a noun or an adjective, not a verb, right? I'd just like to know that.

It is usually a noun. It could be used as a verb, “don’t copycat me” but that would not be proper. A similar thing happens when we say “Google it”. To google is a verb but “Google it” implies to use the search engine named Google ( a noun).
