![]() Using hair as a jump rope is one of the campest, drag-giest things we’ve ever seen on Roople’s stage and is proof that Drag Race can still galvanise audiences after 15 years. Derrick Barry may not like India Ferrah, but we loved this performance. Flanked by a cartel of scantily clad dancers, India brought the mothertucking energy to the main stage with precise – and comedic – choreography and an assortment of unhinged hair shakes. India Ferrah fiercely demonstrated that queens who are early-outs on their seasons are just as talented as the rest and deserve respect from the fanbase when she conquered over higher placing contestants such as Shea Couleé, Jujubee and Miz Cracker in the All Stars 5 premiere. ![]() “Talent should know talent.” India Ferrah (All Stars 5) “I think maybe RuPaul was just very into the ‘available on iTunes’ thing, or mine wasn’t relatable enough for people because they didn’t understand…” said Gia. The season six alum, who revealed that she’s been practising the art since she was seven, later told Hey Qween host Johnny McGovern that the snub left her “so insulted”. Our favourite tucking professor Trinity the Tuck and Brown Cow Stunning vocalist Mo Heart conquered the All Stars 4 talent show but, admittedly, we gasped Joslyn Fox-style when Gia Gunn’s mesmerising Kabuku act was declared “safe”. All the gays doing self defense class now… I live… literally.” Gia Gunn (All Stars 4) As one fan said: “She just solved homophobic violence. The Las Vegas queen floored the panel – including special guest star Ariana Grande – with her vogue and duck-walk heavy routine, before karate-chopping a plank of wood and smashing through another with an effortless roundhouse kick – in heels! Bryce… What a trooper, eh? Anetra’s performance was funny, fierce and so stupid (in the best possible way). Anetra (season 15)Īnetra, which has (according to extremely reliable sources) six letters and three vowels, absolutely demolished – DEMOLISHED! – the season 15 premiere as she incorporated lip-syncing with martial arts, becoming a viral sensation in the process. The now-iconic stunt has since been replicated by several entertainers on the series, and is still referenced as one of the greatest moments in Drag Race’s herstory. Aja returned to the competition minutes after her season nine stint guns-blazing as she showcased her voguing skills to her original track, Level Your Pussy Up, before jumping off a box – roughly six feet off the ground – into a dip. “Is she gonna jump from there?”, the immortal words uttered by velcro artist Milk, memorably originated from the All Stars 3 premiere, which followed in the footsteps of its predecessor by tasking the returning queens with flexing their charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent in a variety extravaganza. ![]() ![]() ![]() (This list only includes seasons with RuPaul on hosting duties.) Aja (All Stars 3) Following the acclaimed premiere of season 15 – which, thanks to one particular queen, has gone viral – we’re celebrating some of the best talent show performances from Drag Race’s herstory. After debuting in All Stars 2, various contestants have demonstrated the plethora of skills in their arsenal from lip-syncing to dancing, as well as giving birth to ham and making an ice-cold glass of water (it was iconic, sorry!).
