This Ain't The Grammys, This Is Drag

Several reviewers have criticized the level of vocal abilities displayed on these songs. I think they are missing the point. Most of these queens do not claim to be great singers. I did not purchase this album in hopes of hearing vocal perfection. I bought it because I like RuPaul's original versions of these songs, I like the queens being featured, and I thought it would be fun to hear their remakes. And I am not disappointed with the results.
RuPaul is highly adept at using all forms of media to promote and expand her brand. And this album serves to help the featured queens to do the same. Few drag performers have national recognition. A queen can be very successful in her particular city or possibly even region, but not on the other side of the country. RuPaul has very smartly created a platform for queens to reach a much wider audience. For better or worse, we have all been exposed to Mimi Imfurst thanks to Drag Race.
Each queen's personality permeates these songs, making them more than just covers. For example, RuPaul's original version of Tranny Chaser is great fun, and Joslyn Fox makes the song even more fun. Thanks to RuPaul, fans everywhere can "Keep It Foxy...Womp, Womp" just like Joslyn. And although it was a nice touch for RuPaul to include the Pit Crew, I think I would much rather see them than hear them.
Perfect!!!

Although all the songs are great and catchy, my absolute favorite is Miss Bianca Del Rio's version of "Click Clack". It's got me pressing repeat over & over, as well as calling people Peanut Butter Heads! Just love her!!
Loving it!

Loving a few of these tracks! First my girl Joslyn Fox killed it with Tranny Chaser. I love the little "wah wah" she puts in there. Magic! Next up for me is Courtney Act. Her version of Champion really gives me goosebumps...it's so epic. I also loved Bianca Del Rio's version of Click Clack because of her accent on "Peanut Butter Head". So much attitude. I also love April Carrion's version of Sexy Drag Queen because well...let's face it...April was underrated. Definitely check these out!
Really?
