Every RuPaul’s Drag Race Final Cast Remix, Ranked

[ad_1]

After RuPaul’s stellar “Blame It on the Edit” Season 15 redesign, it’s time to rank every final remix track from RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Being featured on a RuPaul song is quickly becoming the drag queen equivalent of jury duty, in which some of the top queens write a verse of their own, in what is often the final challenge of a season.

But which remix will end up becoming the super queen, who will cheer and who will be lucky?

No early or mid-season challenges or Rusical numbers were considered for our ranking. This space is reserved for the end of the season. So in reverse order…

12. ‘Super Queen’ All Stars 4

The inexplicably slowed-down remix of “Super Queen,” featuring Mont X Change, Monique Heart, Trinity the Tuck and Naomi Smalls, makes the list.

On paper, it’s a sickening combination. In fact, the only lyrics I remember are Monique saying “never ashen,” and even the inclusion of previous All Stars winners “playing” instruments doesn’t save the day.

Chad Michaels pretends to be a DJ, and this is the last time we see her on Drag Race. That should tell you everything you need to know.

11. “This is our country” All Stars 6

Dropping an otherwise surprisingly strong season of All Stars, the remix of the top four actors being a country song dedicated to the United States at the end of a year that became the deadliest on record for trans people is a perfect example. not to read the play.

Eureka O’Hara begins her verse by talking about Marie Antoinette and Catherine the Great for some reason, Ginger Minj fails to achieve anything memorable, and while Kylie Sonique Love looks flawless and Ra’Jah O’Hara has a decent (and important) verse, it’s still a flop.

I can’t even give topless cowboys any points because there are topless dancers in almost all of these numbers. Not even a crisp cartwheel from Sonic or a feature from Tanya Tucker can make it up the list.

10. “Drag Race Vegas Medley” season 12

I never understood how losing is the new win, but Season 12 queens Gigi Goode, Crystal Methyd, Jaida Essence Hall, and Jackie Cox did their best to teach me.

Unfortunately, after an eight-minute medley, I was none the wiser. More importantly, audiences were tired of pretending there wasn’t a fifth queen that the production clearly favored, but were forced to cut (Sh*rry P*e), which is probably why he didn’t. there is no video of the number available anywhere.

It’s also pretty low on the list because it reads like and is a shameless take on Las Vegas show RuPaul’s Drag Race Live!

Still, some solid verses, and I still remember Gigi sliding across the floor like some weird Spider-Man.

9. ‘Catwalk’ season 14

With five queens in the form of Lady Camden, Angeria Paris Van Michaels, Willow Pill, Bosco and the only previously eliminated queen to make a final during a regular season, Daya Betty, that number is less paraded and more furball.

Joking aside, the verses in this cast remix were generally passable while “Step, SMACK” by Miss Daya Bettica and Lady Camden are very good.

There’s no reason the queens should all be wearing production-made costumes rather than their own wardrobe, but the choreography is actually quite fierce, and credit goes to the crawl-gate, in which Michelle advises repeatedly causing Angeria to crawl along the floor, who completely ignores her, only for Daya Bolical to do it instead.

It’s hot.

8. “Clap Back” All Stars 5

When this remix landed, it made absolutely no noise, which made no sense considering the cast of three fan favorites: Miz Cracker, Jujubee, and Shea Coule.

The performance is slightly sour because the whole season was basically a formality to hand over her crown to Shea and because her verse pales in comparison to the masterpiece she offered in her first appearance in the Drag Arena. Breed.

It seems hard to put the number this low on the list, but I can’t justify placing it higher, solely because of the quality of the numbers above.

Shea’s dancer-to-dancer cartwheel is sickening, though, and Cracker has some great lines. And, like many seasons of Drag Race, Jujubee is here.

7. “American” season 10

Asia O’Hara, Eureka O’Hara and Kameron Michaels owe season-winning Aquaria’s verse for dragging this RuMix to the top of the list.

Starting a song called “American” by saying “Hello!”, the line “I may be an Aquarius but I’m an (American)” and “Turning looks, stunting pretty, I’m the b***h from New York City” all belong to the Poet Laureate equivalent of songwriting for a Drag Race cast remix.

We have Eureka being the elephant queen, the beautiful feathered leotard from Asia, and the queens all felt consistent in numbers, especially in the last dance break, which isn’t always the case.

6. “Queens Everywhere” season 11

I’ll be honest, I expected to rank “Queens Everywhere,” starring Yvie Oddly, Brooke Lynn Hytes, A’keria Chanel Davenport, Vanessa Vanjie Mateo, and Silky Nutmeg Ganache much lower, not least because of the word count it there is in all these queen names.

It’s higher than “American” because there are more purely memorable moments. “Where is the body?” is fantastic, Silky doing what can only be described as a “ka-splat” is what legends are made of, Brooke Lynn asking if we validate parking is objectively funny, and you can’t not love Miss Vanjie, even though she doesn’t seem to know a single word of her words.

And of course, Yvie’s verse can only be called masterful.

5. “Lucky” season 13

Sitting firmly in the top five, the season 13 remix, featuring Symone, Ros, Kandy Muse and Gottmik, is objectively sickening.

Gottmik’s verse is a love letter to gender non-conforming kids, Symone looks absolutely amazing in orange and Ros’ combination of bulging biceps and lingerie left me more sexually confused than the first time I watched. ‘ve seen Chris Evans in Fantastic Four let alone his lyrical craftsmanship.

The song is also properly mixed and well directed but gets a point deduction as Kandy rhymes “back” with “back” three times. Well, no one is perfect.

4. ‘Kitty Girl’ All Stars 3

This one-shot wonder had a lot going for it, and boy did it. Shangela, Kennedy Davenport, Trixie Mattel, and BeBe Zahara Benet all eat/chew/devour to varying degrees, and you can’t deny how sickening the video is.

The number also has a nice twist in that it features the eliminated queens as supporting dancers and while I can’t imagine they were too thrilled with their roles, it’s great for viewers.

None of the verses are legendary, but there are strong lines and seeing BeBe bustling about on the main stage will never make me laugh.

The world is also unlikely to forget Kennedy’s timeless statement: “Feel your pussy deep in your soul.”

3. “Blame it on the Edit” season 15

This is the most recent entry, and it would be criminal to say that these girls are doing anything other than completely sucking up every available crumb. The four best girls of season 15 look fierce and all of their verses are original in their own way.

As I wrote in my weekly recap, the verses of Luxx and Mistress Isabelle Brooks are strong despite the limitation of giving a generic Drag Race finale, but both sell their offerings so well in the video, doing everything Ru likes: referencing the show and showing unwavering confidence.

At this point, it would be impossible for Anetra to look anything but illegally good, and she walks her ducks for bonus points.

I haven’t mentioned Sasha Colby so far because (even though she looks like Snoop Dogg here) she just has it. Previously impossible levels of service.

2. “The category is…” season 9

Simply put, it’s undeniably good. Shea Coule, Peppermint, Sasha Velor and Trinity the Tuck take on this challenge, it’s no surprise that three of those four queens now have crowns.

The gem of the song remains the Miss Coule verse, which gives the closest thing to Beyonc that Drag Race has ever seen and yes, that includes the Beyonc track from season 15.

Sasha and Peppermint get away with it too, although Trinity’s verse isn’t the strongest. One of Drag Race’s most dynamic final four leaves an indelible mark on RuMixes forever.

1. ‘Read You Write Yourself’ All Stars 2

And the winner is… well, it should come as no surprise: sometimes the popular choice is the right choice.

Everyone remembers where they were when they first heard the line “your dad just calls me Katya”.

Alaska is bright blue for some reason and tells a dancer to get in her basket, Detox’s flesh-ography and “D to E to T to O to hold-up X” remains unmatched, and even Roxxxy Andrew’s verse has become legendary material.

Katya’s verse and choreography are always the highlight, and I really don’t know if “Read U Wrote U” will ever top the charts.
