Having all those queens only made this season look even more dull by comparison. Their "I'm doing a clip show" drag was better than nearly all of the looks this season.

I think this season had way too many group or acting challenges. What challenges did we get to see the queens personalities in the work? Born Naked and the ball. I feel like I don't know any of the queens like I have in previous seasons. Saying that, I hope Violet takes the crown tonight but I wouldn't be shocked with anyone else. Ginger is a very safe choice and Pearl didn't start properly competing 'till week 5.

If Violet wins I fully expect that, like Tyra, we never hear from her again.

So... All Stars Season 2 sort of got confirmed... Recently the shows rights were sold to a company for UK distribution. Within their catalog they have Drag Race All Stars... but it's listed as two seasons... with 14 episodes... so that's 6 for the first season... and 8 for the next...

It begins...

Jinkx set the bar too high, don't care much but Ginger has been steady.

Starting July 26th, Season 4 of Drag Race will be back with every episode having a running commentary with Ru!!!

Thats some exciting sh*t!!

Violet?

Y'gotta be f*ckin' kidding me. What a waste of everything.

That Katya gag HAD me for a sec

[TheatreFan4]

Posted: 6/1/15 at 10:38pm

It's better Violet than it is Pearl. That was my one and only thing I wanted to avoid.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 6/1/15 at 10:39pm

See, that Katya gag they did just proves that Ru knew what the public was feeling regarding this season. 

I was really hoping she'd announce All-Stars 2 at the end of it.

At least this season is over.

Ginger should have won, but I much prefer Violet to Pearl, who would not be nearly as loved if she weren't a cute boy. But I think it's pretty clear that Katya is the true winner of this season, regardless of what Ru says. I normally understand most of the judging on this show, but this season just felt nuts- I disagreed with so many decisions.

And with the conclusion of that comes the music videos.

Violet's 'Bettie' (NSFW. Like Really. Bondage. S/M. Violet's my kind of guy)

Dear God...WHY?!  There's a good reason why drag queens Lip Sync!!!

There's a good reason why drag queens Lip Sync!!!

 

 

And that's a very narrow viewpoint. Ginger is a trained singer (and is actually the first Drag Racer to be on Broadway before the show). So is Max. And Fame. And Trixie. Kennedy has a natural voice so does Jaidynn. Pearl isn't singing the music she puts out, there's actually very little actual singing in any of it, they're all compositions. Violet isn't going for insane vocals. They know their strengths and they play them up.

When did Ginger perform on Broadway? 

[TheatreFan4]

Posted: 6/1/15 at 11:46pm

Back when she was 19 I believe. She did a year and a half in the ensemble of Beauty and the Beast.

A lackluster end to a lackluster season.

I'm laying down and watching season 4. I desparetly needed something to remind me why i love this show so much.

Ginger's real name is Joshua Eads Brown; according to ibdb, no one by any name remotely like that was ever in Beauty and the Beast on Broadway (although it's possible Ginger was using an entirely different stage name).

[TheatreFan4]

Posted: 6/2/15 at 3:03pm

According to Ginger's Sleuths bio

most notably spending a year and a half with the Broadway companies of Disney's Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King.

And she talked about it on her FoF

She also talked about being the first Sondheim approved male Mrs. Lovett.

Performers talk about a lot of things; but we have tools at hand that effectively help us cut through the "exaggerations" that many people use about their achievements.

I have seen a lot of resume padding in both the arts and non-arts world; I don't really hold it against anyone - it's so incredibly far from unusual in these days of Facebook Envy for people to need to feel more special than they do, and to stretch the truth about their lives (or just outright lie) in order to feel that little bit more special.

And there's nothing wrong with taking lovely Ms. Minge's claims about her career with a grain of salt, particularly when it's difficult to find corroboration for any of them. She's still fun to watch, whether she's ever stepped foot on a Broadway stage or been Personally Lovett Approved by Sondheim or not.

There is also this site, although it's unfamiliar to me, and I have no idea about its reliability...
