I can’t believe I’m saying this, but... In all fairness to Mimi, she was asked to do what she normally does at her shows...specifically picking people up. Production was just sweet enough to leave that part of it out. Kinda like the thing with Max. 😒 The S H A D E of it ALL!!! 🤭
@@bloodysweetzombiegirl yes! People seem to conveniently forget this! And venus was much more violent than mimi. One picked one up sure, the other was deadass wanting to street fight her. They did mimi so dirty. It was like when they asked max to sing a song on stage when she felt faint. And then editing it to make her seem like she went insane. Mimi has done some bad things but that moment ruined her career. She was seen as a joke and super violent since then. Look at how they treated her in all stars. It was bullying for no reason. I felt so bad for her.
@@G.tuness Shangela first appeared on season 2 of drag race, went home first. Appeared again on season 3 and fought HARD, but still lost. Then appeared again on season 4 but as a gag and didn’t compete. And AGAIN on All Stars 2 disguised as Jujubee during All Stars 2 Snatch Game and finally on All Stars 3 as a competitor and got top 4 but still lost
@@jamesbill7983 That would be Courtney Act actually. Now she is the first queen on the American version of the show. However, Courtney Act did it years before in Australia.
I live how in season 4 everybody “complaining” about how Shangela could be the 14th queen. Meanwhile Willam goes out of her way to give her a high five. Icons welcoming icons
I loved how Alexis went to "She already had her moment of glory." and being bothered by Shangela to literally kissing her on the forehead and almost crying when she left.
she DEVOURED all stars, that final scene always makes me cry. she worked twice as hard and put in twice as much heart, and got no reward. truly an all star.
@@Marcus-ul9zx they were all bitter that shangela beat them. Which, I don't understand. If anything, I think I'd be hella impressed Shangela went from a first out Queen, to a top six queen, to the top 4 in an all star season AND was slaying the competition with BenDelaCreme! But nope. Let's be bitter :/
@@fnafsummoners5679 If you think about that could have been why they were so bitter , she started with no experience at all . Each time she came back she got better , I think they saw that as a way of her not deserving it due to experience because most of them had done it for years. Like you said they should have been applauding her and how quickly she grasped things but they was just mad and bitter
@@Marcus-ul9zx i think what kills me the most is that Thorgy was the ONLY vote Shangela got to be in top 2.... Hopefully Shangela will give it one more shot but time will tell
@@Fee212 I mean she literally created tours and bookings for many queens in the early seasons before Voss events was a thing. So she was literally helping people get paid but go off sis.
@@Fee212 it doesn't need to be seen on tv or news when she was gonna helped her fellow queens If you haven't seen or heard of her helping queens on tv or new or whatevah doesn't mean shes not helping the queens.
Sometimes I miss the rawness of seasons 1 - 3. Stuff like them having different outfits and hairdos/haircuts in the confessionals, them not having a set placements on stage, Rupaul commenting after a lip-sync, stuff like that. I also loved seeing how Yara and Alexis were teaching Shangie how to properly do her make-up.
If only the footage were more crisp and all that, it's insane to think that in 2011 we didn't had a 1080p footage without distortions in the image. Because it wasn't THAT long of a time, just ten years! XD
I totally agree. Like there was no expectation for fame, catch phrases, gifs.. it was just so real. Now they all come in knowing they’ve all made it so they hardly work that hard anymore.
I am the BIGGEST Trixie fan, for real, but Shangela deserved the crown 100%, no tea no shade just reality. Trixie is incredibly talented but Shangela's talent and her GROWTH is something else
Tbh, the show is highly bias from the beginning. Gave Stevie to Thorgy and gave Mariah full of joke to Shangela. No wonder why the girls didn’t pick her.
I remember being so mad at the jury for letting their feelings towards Shangela cloud their judgement. They all KNOW she should’ve been in the top 2 and won the crown. She deserved it and proved it to them and to everybody who watched. Such a rising star. ❤️
I remember when this happened and was like really she deserves it and she is better than all the rest. The only reason they did not vote for her because they knew she would of won and plus they did not like her cause of her raw talent in my opinion. Shangela in my opinion won all star period.
The thing about Shangela in Season 3 is that her personality and natural charisma were already there, and she was already excelling in challenges that required natural humour or personality. She was already the Shangela that she is today, it just took a while for the make-up and fashion to catch up.
@@charliez077 let's make a hall of fame for our alternate queens. Raven, Katya, Alyssa, Bendela, Shangela, Manila, Monique, Jujubee, Miz Cracker, Raja, Ginger, Eureka
Shangela, like Alyssa, is a True Star! It can't be faked, it can't be forced, it's either there or its not. It's innate. That's why crowns and awards rarely mean anything real, those are all very subjective to who's doing the choosing. Most of the "losers" on shows are the ones who end up being more successful than the "winners" anyway. I've learned this even in my own life, when you know you have a special light inside you, hold onto it no matter what.
The true winner of all stars, I don’t care what anyone says. She had full circle moment, but crown or no crown, she has been so successful and so well deserved!!
@@Enchantix00Sasori Dela eliminated herself and that was her choice, so she isn’t the true winner. Honestly, I love Trixie so so much and I’m happy she has a crown, but it should’ve been Shangela’s. That twist was such bullshit. That said, if Dela had stayed she would’ve 100% undeniably won lmao
I love how Shangela’s and Ben de la Creme’s lip sync battles are more of a collaboration. Instead of being pushy or blocking the view, they worked off each other like improv.
Agreed; they fed off the vibes and positive energy each were giving out. And unlike some lip syncs (Mimi Imfurst), they didn't try to get physical with each other, unless you count DeLa VIOLENTLY flirting with Shangela during "I Kissed A Girl".
Shangela is a Example of Drag Excellence, She is Considered one of the Gods of Drag, My Respect for Thorgy is so High for atleast picking Shangela, Shangela will always be The Top Robbed Queen
No. Trixie was superior throughout, when you look at each individual performance. Shangela does better in the Snatch Game and in Hey Kitty Girl, but Trixie was better than her on every single runway, and all the other challenges. Trixie and Ben tie for number 1, and Shangela is number 3.
@@elizimmer3838 on which planet exactly? in the professional expert opinion of a renowned… trixie mattel fan? trixie agreed shangela should have won, the judges certainly agreed, shangela and ben were in a league of their own this season, bebe woulda been third and trixie fourth, nowhere near first.
Shangela, one of the few queens who did not need production pushing her to the top by giving her unnecessary wins or saving her from bottoms 2. That is why she is so loved. Production needs to keep this in mind. We are not blind!
@@antekaniol9406 You can say that but still she had no challenges were she fell short and was saved from it due to favouritism. All that, because she is actually very talented.
I love Shangela so much! She's beyond genuine and it makes me sad af seeing her cry when they eliminated her. The sadness in her eyes knowing she didn't get picked to be in the top 2 breaks my heart; she worked so hard and came so damn far.. I'm sorry, but she should've won all stars 3. I said what I said.
Shangela Laquifah Wadley! First of her name. Slayer of drag. Mother of sound bites. The debutante of bucking. The princess of the comeback. Burglarized queen of AS3. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I love Trixie, but everybody knows that SHANGELA was ROBBED and this pissed me off!!!! Trixie deserves to be an All Stars winner, but I guess if Shangela had a lip sync against her, definitely she would be the winner. She IS a winner in my heart, because in fact, Shangela nailed this competition! I'm a brazilian fan. Love U Shangela from the bottom of my heart, werk girl!!!!
For context for others...They did lip sync against one another before and Shang won that round ( the fat suit lip sync). A final lip sync Shang would've won.
You don't love her, you couldn't say that mess imo! 🤦🏻♀️🙄Trixie is top notch, style, comedic gifts, personality, buisness minded, smarts in general , etc She & Katya too ARE the whole package. She is one of the most successful drag artists to come from this show & Def worth millions now. I legit got goosebumps when she was crowned on All Stars 3,she deserved every bit of it if ya ask me. Shangie is epic too, of course but she's still no Trixie!
@@ashishsingh4867 Dela slayed so hard but unfortunately quit on her own terms. Shangela slayed but also struggled sometimes. I also think that if she had won, her story arc on drag race would have been picture perfect. She is one of my faves from the entire series tbh. I love her drive towards drag, and her family is so cute.
No at earlier episodes shangy lipsynced and did a deathdrop and Michelle was looking directly at shangy but her lipsync with carmen her death drop was more intense
And when they got the money, they slayed AllStars 3 & 4 respectively. They were baby drag queens on their seasons too as Shangela only been doing it under 2 years her run on S3 & Monique about the same time of under 2 years as well on S10
@@hannahzeplin2794 but Monique lost in her season rightfully to Trinity (and Monet) by being statistically worse, whereas Shangela had the best track record (besides Dela) and runway in her AS season plus destroying Trixie in a lip sync but still lost, this makes her case even more unfair :/
Caleb Ennos yes! She was so special, they should for sure make a video in her memory. It would be great if they could collect other interviews. I think if Sahara was still here, I think she’d be on All Stars at some point and gain a new following. Sahara had a special and unique drag tbh oh and she could dáncese She was a classically trained dancer
Shangela has always been one of my favorite queens. She is a pure joy to watch, and her smile is so bright and genuine it can be seen from space. She has so much heart, and puts it all out there.
That part where she asks monet if you're supposed to paint up and down or side to side and monet says up and down but didn't listen and starts painting side to side anyway 😂
Everyone always talks about how Shangela got robbed but so did Bebe. My girls were top 2 contenders but lost because the other queens felt bad about Kennedy and Trixie Wtf
She would have been if the eliminated queens hadn't screwed her over. The fact that only Thorgy voted for her when Shangela is the one that sent her home...
D&D ruined the show for me, especially by completely changing Daenerys’ arc by being the “mad queen” in literally one of the last few episodes; ITS SO ANGERING
@@Ariuhna lmao Daenerys was the mad queen right from the start - she let her husband brutally murder her brother in front of her eyes, she burnt countless people to death, anyone who was disagreeing with her she would intimidate or destroy if necessary, y'all just didn't want to see it
@@itsdannyhoney the problem isn’t so much her going “mad” it’s how fast it happened. Yes there were signs, there were hints and foreshadowing, but is that character development? No. You don’t go from specifically not attacking KL in s7 because of the innocents to burning it down in s8 overnight. I’m fine with her going mad but it needed to be more dragged out and a slower process where you could really see it happen, especially for those who didn’t pick up on the “hints” or read the books. If it went on for a larger period of time (over several seasons) it would feel far more believable and not have the criticism and hate it receives, at least not to this degree. There was a lot wrong with season 8, this was one of those things.
@@Ezzie__ Your opinion. I think Alaska's harassments in the lip syncs from All Stars 2 are far worse than anything Venus did; and Mimi was absurdly out of place since the beginning of the lip sync.
I liked her since day one. Shangela exudes likeability plus she's a killer dancer/ entertainer . Rue saw something in her since day one and mama Rue was right. Rupaul just pushed Shangela into right direction and rest of it is a history. Well deserve Shangela 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
1:00 sahara's response to her shantay then suddenly becoming sad upon knowing shangela's gonna get sashayed away always makes me cackle! we miss you sahara davenport
Now I get why she is the danaerys Targaryen of Drag Race, We all thought she was going to be the queen but then her allies turns her down. I was enjoying the entire Compilation but I immediately felt sad at 47:26. She deserves so much more.
Gaining that much prosperity, fan love, and job security is a crown on its own. She don’t need the other crown- she got the best reward of all. Love love LOVE my Texas sister. 💞💞💞
The fact that they didn’t include the Nancy drew parts. Also, the part when she tricked Carmen into picking the reggae genre of music so that she was left with her first pick. Icon.
Anytime I watch anything about Shangela my husband (sarcastically) says, "But Shangela was robbed!" and I reply, "You goddamn right, and don't you forget it!"
Honestly, I think they should maybe focus on more underrated queens like Sonique, Shuga Cain, Trinity K. Bonet, Monique Heart, Alexis Mateo, Akeria Davenport, Asia O'Hara, Mrs. Kasha Davis, and Jaidynn Dior Fierce just to name a few.
Shangela is my favorite queen of ALL TIME! I've been watching since season 1, since I was 12 years old, and there is no queen like Shangela!!! She has such a beautiful spirit, her personality is everything and she's freaking stunning!!! Shangela is the best!
Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that Aja and Chi Chi were singing to each other in the background during Shangela and Dela’s lipsynic of jump RIP Chi Chi
I remember how I didn’t like shangela at all during s2 and s3... but then when she came to all stars... I understood everything. She is really a star! In my opinion, the queen with the biggest growth in drag race herstory.
She may have always walked away without the crown and just her corn..but she made it bigger than some winning queens and knew how to spin her exposure in the right direction! You go girl!
Her not making the finale is one of the biggest reasons they never did the Jury twist again I believe. It was completely unfair that she dominated the competition and didn't get her deserved spot in the finale because of a bitter jury. I'm very happy they only did this twist once and I hope that it is never brought back again. Edit: And if they ever did decide to do it again, at least announce the twist at the beginning of the competition so maybe the queens can strategize a little better, sort of like Survivor.
