and of Katy Perry herself.
After RuPaul asked whether shes kissed a girl, Alyssas response Ru, never!
We already knew Alyssa existed in her own world, but this was next level.
Without condition.Unconditionally, even.
And we dont need a million reasons, just one good one.
If it was too much for Latrice Royale, its too much for us.
Morgan McMichaels as Pink (Season 2)
If only the assignment was to play herself!
Unfortunately, Morgan was supposed to be Pink.
Sure, she mentioned Little Monsters.
Yes, the look was passably Gaga.
But nothing about this was lived in.
Lineysha Sparx as Celia Cruz (Season 5)
Come on.
In a Dunaway as Crawford manner of hysteria, we bellow:No.
Gia Gunn as Kim Kardashian (Season 6)
It simply cant be all about the look!
Stylist humor is tough to sell, and that robotic staccato delivery did Laganja no favors.
Snap out of it!
and ramming her ass into Phi Phi for no reason.
The level of unprofessionalism?
Far too much indeed.
There isnt much left after she shouts her classic New York is in the motherfuckin house!
line, besides some vacant nodding at Rus questions.
Instead, she was just one cucu away from breaking the illusion completely.
This is Diana Ross at about 4:30 in the morning after a couple packs of cigarettes.
The only Nicki caricaturization here is that she … looks into a hand mirror a lot?
but the look was a huge miss and the judges were right about the wig being too long.
The allusion to reefer smokers was funny, but Acid Betty seemed over it from the jump.
This was less Dangerous Woman and more Whispery Lil Girl.
It would have been funny, or at least funnier than the flat performance we ended up with.
As Angelou once said, I had a lot of clouds, but I have had so many rainbows.
Chi Chi, this was a damn cloud, girl!
Make it a rainbow!
Detox as Nancy Grace (All Stars 2)
We dont know, guys.
Maybe queens just shouldnt be doing Nancy Grace.
Snatch Game just isnt Detoxs thing, and thats okay!
We can understand why Violet backed off in the Who Will Play Donatella?
Alas, it just wasnt funny, and Violet dodged a bullet here.
Youre playing Alaska, Roxxxy!
This is your hair!
Well pray for her, henny.
Tyra Sanchez as Beyonce (Season 2)
As Tyra herself said, Beyonce is just like me.
All I had to do was just be myself, like smile and say nice things.
We needed something to pull the character Gigi out from the relative obscurity of the real Gigi.
Ravens visions never gave any variable reward, unfortunately.
Trixie Mattel as RuPaul (All Stars 3)
Loser, loser … chicken dinner?
Trixie holds the distinction of being the onlyDrag Racewinner with a low-ranking Snatch Game performance.
you could only get so much mileage out of that, but tongue pop away, sis.
Would you scream about the air-conditioning atDivas Live?
Would you viciously shade Dionne Warwick?
Or would you lean on a lazy bit about how she loves to eat?
Instead, the touches of detail are what made her Kimora Lee memorable.
Not bad for a self-identifying pageant queen who turned out some great comedic performances during her season!
Not a terrible thing to commit to.
It wasntthatbad, and Michelle Visage would go on to say that it was a great performance years later.
All tea, no shade!
during the smush-smush pandemonium earned her our respect.
The overlong nails were right on the money, too.
Otherwise, this was a textbook Tina Turner impression that youd gag for at a gay bar.
The shoulder bobs, the grimaces, the hair tosses were all authentic Anna Mae.
And the way she called him Mr. RuPaul!
To therealMiss Congeniality of season six!
To be honest, a rewatch reveals that Willam sort of resembles Amy Schumer.All Stars 4, anyone?
We were rooting for her, we wereallrooting for her and … she did well!
Two breasts way up!
Extra points for the lightly shady qualifier of (Tonis sister) underneath the name on her card.
This performance was also Tamar-approved, which is really the highest praise.
Ayo sis, you crushed this.
It was alternative, singularly funny, and we already said smart, right?
Even as a young queen, Tatianna was not that innocent.
She really does look like her!
Its an example of how an impression doesnt need to be actually good or right to bevery goodanddead on.
I aint worked with that bitch.
Ginger played up a disinterested, detached version of Adele with a delightful Cockney accent marking all her responses.
Telling Katyas Suze Orman, I love you, Justin Bieber!
Dont fuck with her, fellas!
Still, her performance as Monique or rather, as Mary fromPrecious felt fresh and topical back in 2011.
In what was collectively the weakest Snatch Game, it was more than enough to snag the win.
That well never know how her Jan Crouch impression would have done onAll Stars 2is an unknowable disappointment.
Bonus points for not coming out in a swan dress and for literally eating one of her answer cards.
We arent necessarily in the Pandora was donewrong!
Alaska Thunderfuck as Lady Bunny (Season 5)
Well, Julie, I just wrote ANUS!
Dont like this performance?BUH-LONEY!
At the end of the day, it was a funny, faithful tribute.
Everybody loves a winner.
Referring to Chelsea Handler as Lady Handler?
Clapping back at Nicki Minaj about originating the English language?
The interactions with Kristin Chenoweth were delicious, as were the back-and-forths with RuPaul.
All hail the Meryl Streep of drag!
I dont know why they book me on these chicken shit gigs.
Of course she did.
Shes Cher, bitch!
and accessories (the magnifying glass, even!
), but also that bougie yet still Long Island accent.
Why dont you come up and fuck me in the ass sometime?
Youve got to be kidding.
You dont beat around the bush, do you?
Ru asked, but before he even finished the question, Alaska swooped in with a Whaddaya mean?
I beat around the bush all the time!
The tiny moans, the snatched vintage look, the drooping tongue, it was all perfect.
