We have made it, Drag Race followers! The final spherical of the competitors is right here earlier than the grand finale.
The High 4 queens had one closing likelihood on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 Episode 14 to show why they need to have a spot within the grand finale.
Positive, RuPaul stated solely three would make it to the finale. However that is Drag Race; eliminations by no means really go as deliberate.
“Blame It On The Edit” was an emotional but anticipated spherical of Drag Race.
Between the music video, the choreography, and the rap verses, we knew what was in retailer for the queens for his or her video vixen second. However even with a routine move of occasions, the present nonetheless discovered a method to tug in any respect the tears.
I like an excellent music video problem. Positive, it has been accomplished to loss of life, all the best way again to the early years of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Nevertheless, these queens earned the prospect to star in a music video.
This problem has a few of the highest funds values, the units are well-designed, and the queens get fairly fierce on digital camera. And in contrast to another challenges, like Snatch Recreation, which is timeless, you may see the video high quality and ideas develop all through the years.
She was fierce competitors, however while you play a grimy recreation, typically you get soiled outcomes.
Luxx Noir London
On this case, the space-themed music video appeared glossy and polished.
The units had been minimal, however the queens had been the largest drama. All 4 stole focus, whether or not via their appears to be like or their dancing abilities (each in good and dangerous methods).
With solely 4 queens left, one of the best ways to debate the spherical is to go queen-by-queen. First up, the winner of the Maxi Problem: Sasha Colby!
Was anybody else blown away by Sasha within the music video?
Her alien look was so hauntingly charming; it was laborious to look away when she began her rap as a result of the make-up and ensemble had been so well-done. Pair that together with her attractive Barbarella look throughout the dance scene and you’ve got a recipe for a video vixen famous person.
Her appears to be like had been beautiful, and her lyrics had been on hearth. She wasn’t the most effective rapstress within the group, however she served her lyrics like a professional.
Plus, we will not neglect about her rhinestone orchid on the runway.
Her “Drag Excellence” robe was a gorgeous ensemble that shined each time she moved. The robe was the proper mixture of magnificence and pageantry.
We will at all times rely on Sasha to deliver glamor to the runway. Her selection of the frilly orchid was sufficiently subtle to not steal focus, nevertheless it was large enough to go away an enduring impression.
It is no marvel she snatched this victory.
Luxx Noir London was a detailed second out of the queens.
Identical to Sasha, her ensembles within the music video had been beautiful and video-ready. My favourite is her black latex corset and white boots for the dancing portion.
She appeared attractive and assured with an alien high quality.
Her rap verse was slightly laborious to listen to as a result of singing and the audio mixing. It could’ve been higher had the vocals been blended extra, however that is a post-production problem on the a part of the editors.
Luxx’s rap verse was well-written and served fairly properly.
And her runway robe was so superbly elegant and easy. She did not want any elaborate designs or options to remove from the flowing silhouette.
[In confessional] Karma is a dish greatest served chilly. You thought you bought me. Whose face is the egg on now? Not mine. Yours.
Luxx Noir London
Luxx is a famous person with all her suits and outfit decisions. Although, she does amazingly properly when utilizing impartial colours.
She excels with black-and-white combos.
Although, she’s fortunate that she did an excellent job. If the judges discovered she took a nap throughout the brainstorming, they might’ve roasted her for sleeping at a necessary level within the competitors.
Anetra was an fascinating case of a queen who was an important performer however not nice at sure choreography. It is a huge distinction between lip-synching and performing steps on the spot.
Hear, she had all the fitting items: distinctive appears to be like, fierce dancing abilities, and a powerful rap verse.
Nevertheless, you may by no means predict how a queen can be affected by a twist. Michelle Visage forcing the queens into recording the music video instantly caught Anetra off-guard.
The twist paid off for what it needed to do.
The rap scene within the music video helped her lots, however these dancing scenes held her again.
Anetra wanted to hit them more durable and really feel extra assured in her strikes. Exhibiting concern in a recording problem works in opposition to the queen within the closing judging as a result of it might seem within the closing edit.
It is a disgrace she stumbled on the finish as a result of her closing runway was beautiful!
All that’s left for me to win is the crown.
Anetra
The blue velvet fitted robe with the silver fringe accents appeared unbelievable as she moved down the runway. She gave futuristic excessive trend with a contact of high fashion. Her costume was a successful look.
If it weren’t for the dance strikes, Anetra might’ve been a contender for the highest.
In Mistress Isabelle Brooks’s case, it was a unique story.
Can all of us agree it was apparent she was touchdown on the backside? The thriller of who can be taking one of many spots was lengthy gone.
Mistress’s destiny was sealed when she could not sustain with the others and forgot her dance strikes.
Her rap scenes had been hearth and would’ve protected her every other week. Nevertheless, when solely 4 queens are left within the competitors, the judges should critique each little element. And when a key half is the dancing, her dance portion did not measure up.
Her runway partially made up for the problem stumble.
I agreed with the judges that her golden fringe cheetah robe appeared elegant and beautiful. Every time she moved on the runway, it was so stunning how the cheetah print moved together with her and mirrored within the mild.
It could’ve been higher had the cheetah spots appeared a bit darker. With the motion and the brilliant lights, the spots had been getting misplaced, and in some circumstances, they appeared pale.
The robe would possibly work higher in images as a substitute of performing and with plenty of motion.
Anetra and Mistress ending up as the underside two wasn’t stunning. As talked about above, Sasha and Luxx dominated the week, so the others needed to fall by comparability.
The lip-sync of “When Love Takes Over” by David Guetta that includes Kelly Rowland was, by all means, common.
It was a pleasant quantity for the queens to showcase their feelings and dish out the lyrics. They did not need to do a lot motion to the beat since they had been in robes, however the music allowed them to do extra in the event that they needed. I want that they had accomplished extra.
[In confessional] We nonetheless have another problem left. Eye on that prize. Eye on the grand finale. I see you! You’re mine! And I’m coming to get you.
Sasha Colby
It feels fairly lackluster for this lip-sync to be the Double Shantay of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15.
Like, why did not the Anetra vs. Marcia Marcia Marcia quantity get it? Michelle even admitted it was her new favourite lip-sync of all time. If I had to decide on, Anetra gained the lip-sync, however the double security appeared like a filler win to avoid wasting RuPaul’s High 4 favorites.
Final Ideas From The Werk Room:
-
The twist of the queens having to carry out the choreography proper after studying it’s going to by no means get previous. It is so deliciously evil and enjoyable! Drag Race wants extra twists like these as a result of it retains the queens and the viewers on their toes.
-
The queens giving heartwarming speeches to their youthful selves will at all times be emotional. So many tears!
-
RuPaul must get some new Tic Tacs. They should be caught collectively at this level.
Now, over to you, Drag Race followers.
