Presenting RuPaul's Drag Race Winner Raja In His New Music Video


(In the voice Stefon from SNL's Weekend Update) New York's hottest club is Tuck! Can't find the front door? Just stand still and wait for a caramel covered giraffe named Pennywise the Clown to escort you into the back storage room of a White Castle. This place has everything. It has the black swan Donatella Versace barfed up, shredded Elvis wigs, kidney stones, matronly leopards in ostrich masks, mariachi biker daddies, trannies wrestling in a giant Whoopee cushion full of Cherry Slurpees and glow worm aristocrats. You know it's that thing when a drag queen swallows Ambien so she can make the yawn.

Bummer. Have drag queens become more pedestrian or is it just me? I'm not feeling this Raja chick. Raja looks better as a dude and to my eyes, this is never a good sign for a drag legend. In 10 years, no one will be evoking the name of Raja they way they do Hedda Lettuce. She just looks like a half assed show girl.

That said, I am DYING to find a source for that molded pink wiglet. I can see it doing wonders for halloween. If anyone has a resource, let me know!

That is all.

I think the problem is that Raja is not a musician and has no musicality. She is still a great fashion model, runway walker, poser, and makeup artist. She is not a dancer and therefore cannot convey sexuality through her moves. It feels like fake sensuality because there's no fire. There's beauty, which the lyrics quickly cheapen.

This has nothing to do with sexism and everything with nature. There is scientific proof that the male and female brain are wired just as differently as their bodies differ. That does not mean that one gender is
better than the other. The nature versus nurture debate is of course very valid, because it would be silly to hold people back on the basis of social preconceptions. But denying the differences would be equally
silly. Dutch society has done so for the last decades. Now it turns out that many teenage boys - predominantly from a middle class background - are totally lacking in motivation to participate in school activity or
society altogether. One of the possible reasons for this, is that our primary schools have basically no male teachers anymore. As women are by nature more prone to seeing danger everywhere, they tend to be overprotective towards boys, thus preventing them from fully reaching their potential. Also, our primary school program has become by all accounts too 'verbal' for boys. While girls thrive in those circumstances, boys do not. So this could very well be another explanation for their underacheaving. Studies have also shown that boys drop out of college and university in large numbers, because they are not as dilligent as the girls, less into planning their future and more carefree. Is there a point to all this? Yes, I think that Mother Nature has a carefully designed plan for every creature on this green earth. If you make too much modifications in that design, things go amiss. Not straight away, but very slowly and by the time the decline becomes clear it may already be too late.

Wow, this is bad. Like real bad. I like the makeup and looks, but the worst video ever and very boring. Like the lyrics a bit, though.

O I dunno. It does kinda make me want a gay man. Altho, to be fair, that's not really any kind of challenge.

It sucked, but it was better than that last Katy Perry song.

The half-mask with the yellowed teeth was creepy.

heathen's picture

I recognized that hot bitch Raven! She totally should have won Season 2.

As for Raja -- LOVE HER! While I agree the song kind of sucks, visually the video is great. First time the best queen won on this show (Season 1 should have been Nina Flowers, hands down).

The next thing you say is that women really shouldn't drive cars

I was *just* going to say that! Well, maybe if a male is also riding in the car (primarily for guidance).

The line between what is male and what is female continues to blur, and IMHO that is not a good thing. It's certainly not something to encourage, as RuPaul seems to be doing here. Men, straight or gay, serve as role models for little boys. Weather people like it or not, gender differences serve a function in society. For instance, less and less male students register for Dutch medical schools. This is alarming, because it will affect the quality of medical care in the long run, seeing as women are more into patient care and men are by nature more innovative.

That is some sexist, homophobic, prejudiced BULLSHIT, right there.

Raja is HOT... out of drag. Personally, she shouldn't have won her season of "Drag Race." Her personality alone killed it for me.

I like it! It's all about the pose.

Maybe the sound is a little repetitive, but it's clearly club music and I've heard much worse music in clubs. Raja is beautiful!

I'm shocked!

Honey, I'm SHOCKED!

Bad musicianship (except for the initial repeating chords which were then inexplicably dropped).

Bad production.

Bad songwriting.

Bad pitchpoor vocals.

Unoriginal and rehashed looks.

I mean, COME ON.

Listen, people...

The drag immortals did NOT play around...

Charles Pierce, Parris Dupree (that's two "r's" and two "e's," honey), Avis Pendavis, Wayson Flowers, RuPaul, Kevin Aviance, Pepper Labeija, Dorian Corey, Lipsynka--even this entrance by Tandi Iman Dupree: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWEbL133hP8)...

All of the artistry of the immortal female illusionists of yore force us to confront the simple fact that the new girls (crown or no crown) have GOT to do better!

...have GOT to do better!!!

Yes, thank you! I think it's because Ruthie is always nodding out (can't blame her).

"Artistically stunning (save for the blond wig) however, I liken the song to a child's rants. Well, a potty mouthed child who likes to repeat silly things. From what little I know about Raja, I'm rather surprised he would have approved of this video."

Agreed. For someone with such a strong fashion aesthetic, he's tone deaf when it comes to song. Adam Lambert, come get your friend, chile!

Who knows, if that happens, maybe we'll finally have a whopping three women on the U.S. Supreme Court at once or a female president who knows basic geography and U.S. history that is taught to most fourth graders.

Yes, thank you! I think it's because Ruthie is always nodding out (can't blame her). We've had a total of four women (add Sandra Day O'Connor) on the U.S. Supreme Court. According to my in-depth research (a 20-second skimming of a wiki entry), the U.S. Supreme Court has been around since 1791; a woman (O'Connor) was appointed in 1981. I just get a little impatient with other people's idea of progress.
