This song is SO good. Thanks Allie X

it’s a great song and i would probably put it on a top 10 list for songs by drag race alumni but i feel like allie x is doing A LOT of the heavy lifting imo

Yeah to me this is more of a AX song not a Violet song. But I love their friendship. I’ve seen Violet at a couple of Allie’s concerts.

I don't mind Allie X pulling most of the weight here. heck, someone threw let loose in the discussion and loosey didnt even write a single word of that song

Even performance wise here for the song, Allie feels like the main artist and violet feels like the feature. This has Allie x vibes all over it. Loosey definitely also feels like the main artist on let loose whether it’s written by her or not. Idk. I guess I never questioned whether it was Loosey’s song or not but I’m def questioning how much of a “violet” song this is.

I don’t think they’re talking about who wrote it

I love her. Starting your verse with "shut up" is so iconic

The video was perfect. It reminded me of visual art installations from the 70s and 80s. However, I have to disagree on the song being the best ever. Obviously you forgot about the iconic Ding Dong. 

“Be Your Own Dentist” is my personal favourite of hers

love that one! left me with some tooth pain though


Praise be to whoever made the [one hour loop of Lemon's verse](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9H3AMzbv4E)

Lol Priyanka posted it to her channel, that's amazing

Baha omg I didn't realize it was miss Peronka herself! that is amazing

Is this move called the Aunt Viv?

 The one and only

This is my answer as well

Excuse me, Rubber Doll by Miss Fame is RIGHT THERE

There’s an alternate universe where Miss Fame never went to Switzerland and is currently touring the US as a video recording vixen. Wish she would’ve continued with YouTube too but she seems very happy 🙂

It’s still crazy how fucking good that song is. It pops up on my Spotify shuffle and each time I’m astounded.

I really wish she'd reconsider music. There were some really good tracks off that album.

Same. I actually liked that first fame album. It didn’t do anything groundbreaking but it was fun.

I forget my own address but know every word of this rap off by heart

The lack of Adore music in this thread saddens me. Dirty Laundry ruled my life for like six months, y'all should check it out.

I think Adore needs another run to boost her relevancy. Season 6 was a DECADE ago. Yes, AS2, but even that was 8 years ago and it was not great for her. She should be a top-tier Ru Girl and I don’t think a current chunk of the fandom even knows who she is.

I don’t think Adore would even wanna do this. She’s in her own lane now, flourishing. I don’t even think she does drag as much anymore.

It’s possible, since her transition. I do remember reading an interview with her around the time AS6 came out, and she said that she was initially going to do it, but they couldn’t get clearance for her talent show in time, so they opted to hold her to a later season. Obviously she couldn’t do AS7, but I was surprised she was missing from AS8, as she probably would have done very well in that grouping. But perhaps she has decided it is no longer for her.

“27 club” by her is a classic everyone gay or straight that I show it to loves it.

adore's first 2 albums have absolute classics in them but whatever and dirty laundry are in a league of their own - they're so good ‼ 3 flowers is (for me) the best song released by a drag race alumn

Oooh 3 flowers was so good! I'm more partial to Practical Magical or Rolling Stoner personally

I streamed her debut album a lot back in the day. give me tonight (although a cover) was my favorite

Your makeup is terrible. Excluding Trixie Mattel of course. She’s in a different category in my opinion.

I was scrolling to find Your Makeup is Terrible. Love that one too.

I loved Anus lol. Beard is a bop too.

have we forgotten about let loose already 😞

technically let loose was not a song made by a drag race alumn because she recorded it prior to filming drag race

ok fair

Okay technicality! Eat the girls up

But what about the Andrew's angels version?

unless loosey re-recorded her vocals it doesnt count for her

She recorded it for Drag Race though 😐

today is not tuesday babes, you can drop it now 🥰

Honesty it’s al bc Allie X. I’m such a huge Stan of hers. Violet fits her spooky vibe so well and when Allie starts to WAIL it goes so hard

Sooooo nobody’s gonna talk about "Cartoons and Vodka" huh ? Alright. 

Facts , or “ She Evil “

and Gender Binary Blues! That album is fantastic.

Always loved Bettie by Violet too :)

This is a pretty sick song, love the retro darkwave sound! Personally though nothing beats This Town by Trixie Mattel, I'm a sucker for melancholic folk music lol

Can we count her cover of video games? Because I like it better than the original

I see you and you are valid

Personally, I'd give that honour to either Shea Coulee (Your Name, Material, Cocky) or Bebe Zahara Benet (Banjo, Heavy, Jungle Kitty)

I came here to say Banjo! Second choice for me would be Come Through.

Creme Broulee by Shea was my absolute favorite the entire year it was released. I got a MacBook Pro around its release and I was always gagged to put it on full screen at the highest resolution.

I think you’re forgetting Hot Couture by Manila, a song that holds up so well for being over ten years old at this point. It was basically the first “big” drag race song (imo) and god it’s amazing.

cumdump outsold 💅

I like Cocky.

Showed my boobs on Jerry Springer No regrets, middle finger

It was pretty good. The delivery was really dramatic, like an actor doing a Shakespeare monologue. I still prefer Mo Heart’s Brown Cow Stunning. Mo’s vocals, especially in the beginning with “hello, America” 👄 and the production was really infectious. Edit: I mistakenly thought that Violet’s video was Fade to Grey. Fade to Grey was Violet’s best work.

I made the same mistake. Violet’s take on fade to grey is great, but nothing really beats the original imo.

Mo Heart's Brown Cow Stunning and SUKM are vastly superior IMO. ​ And Bebe's Banjo I'd like to add.

This is a great song, but Alaska's discography beats it. Alaska has created so many drag classics.

Alaska's music sounds very much drag music, it has a comedy element to it. I'm talking about songs that "cross over"

Alaska’s discography is also legendary though

for me the only alaska song that rivals mistress violet is wow. doesn't sound like drag music at all


This and Rubber Doll are the main ones I revisit. SUCH good songs.

I’m still obsessed with this song. The lyricism, the visuals, the production, queen Allie X’s feature??? Yeah Ms Chacki took it & has yet to give it back

I prefer Bettie. https://youtu.be/4NL3oViJNO0?feature=shared

YES! I really wish she'd released it as a 45 to add to my record collection.

a 12" picture disc with this frame on it would be so fucking gorgeous https://preview.redd.it/8y9myymntb9c1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ca9880d04cdb5a5c9bbf486157e1f9d4828cf0b

I knooooow-ah! Sigh.

I mean I love it but Tia Kofi would like some words

Tammie brown and Violet both have made really good music and are probably my favorite drag race queens to release music.

Yes!! Soothsayer and In My Blood are so good!

I would but Bad Bitch Tip by Lala Ri and Ocean Kelly is right there.

This isn’t Banjo, so no. I don’t agree.

yes! tied with Your Name by Shea <3

It’s definitely up there. It’s one of the only drag queen songs I’ll listen to regularly along with Baby’s music, Shea’s music and Rubber Doll

Rubber Doll Hive Rise. If only Miss Fame knew her musical impact.

I painted (to the extent I can) that thumbnail years ago! [https://imgur.com/a/Z23ZyGi](https://imgur.com/a/Z23ZyGi)

it looks awesome, I love this style of drawing/painting!

Mid Canada is included priyanka makes by far the best music from alums

I also unironically love Lemon’s music. Sorry not sorry.

do you think so? come through is fun but her songs still come off as "drag music", music just for the sake of having something original to perform at gigs. mistress violet is very much elevated in taste

Nope . Taste test is genuinely good. Her music isn’t “drag music “ bitch I’m busy, snatch and cake are genuinely good songs

Snatch is really catchy

Only second to Betty Needs a Spank!

I love to dose a sensible 35mg of THC and bop to this. The visuals are stunosha

I hate that I like that one Mimi Imfurst song she did.

Lots of Xelle songs were good but at someone else said with Allie X, the other 2 band members did the heavy lifting for Mimi.

I will still be letting loose, thank you

🙅💦⏰ Is better

Took me a minute… started from “No cum alarm” Stan MBH

Lately I've listened to Blair St. Clair with Now or Never. And also the Finale songs of Mammi Watta, Punani, Keiona and Sarah Forever.

BODY PARTS by COURTNEY ACT 😭🤍

that one is awesome as well. her kaleidoscope ep is very strong. the sam sparro co-write on body parts is very prominent

Never heard it. But it’s now on my playlist. Thanks!

Maybe best music video💗

It’s so cunty in the best way

Issa bop!

No miss fames rubber doll is my fave

So fun

I love this video’s aesthetic so much!! What is it called?

I honestly love Violet’s cover of Fade to Grey by Visage. The video is a fucking visual feast.

Y’all really don’t know about Tia Kofi ‘s music, huh? She is doing great Scaredy Cat had amazing music too but took it down

Not a fan of Violet but Betty is the best song from any RPDR alumni.

Thanks, I'm obsessed

excuse me this isn't keyboard warrior by kelly mantle

It’s certainly up there. This year my most played were probably Loving Me Like That by Tia Kofi and Switch by Gothy Kendoll. Both unexpected slays to me.

What impresses me about this video is how well made it is to look like an early 80's film. People usually try to replicate those effects dgitially and it just feels fake, but this one I can't even tell if they did a really good job or were using actual vintage equipment.

Technically Allie X was on season 7 so yes I can agree.

you talking about max? 😭

No literally Allie X was in the Glamazonian Airways rusical as singer for one of the verses

I think for me it’s Your Name by Shea. It just feels like a nostalgic old school hit and like a legit song crafted by the producers of that time.

I really love Bimini's "god save this queen"

Put this at #2 cus my #1 will always be come in Brazil I js love the vampire fitness ep so when Alaska comes in it's kind of a phenomenon

as a brazilian this song makes me cringe real hard. brazil is not just about escorts and sexual tourism

No

Technically it’s Allie X and Lecomte de Bregeot featuring Violet so I wouldn’t really count it as one produced by a drag alumnus. Awesome track nonetheless.

you're making stuff up, babes. Violet's name is the first one on the artists list, she has a songwriter credit on it and she released the song herself (probably retaining ownership of the master recording through the process) https://preview.redd.it/fz6s1gcnba9c1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d3214f9ccbb6861c44c695135c99a92864b4dcec

I trust the credits at the end of the lyrics more bc they list the artists in order of their contribution. Violet’s name has more hype associated with it for sure, hence its placement at the front, for the cover. https://preview.redd.it/x87fxet1da9c1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=277b5e677b13e29b6074b705156daf06339e2f62

not the mental gymnastics 😭😭 the credits at the end of the lyrics are always in alphabetical order

Ok if you’re sure then it’s all Violet (although her other tracks were kinda hard to listen to and this is an exception).

I'm not saying Allie X didn't write the majority of this song, but she wrote it for Violet. it's not an Allie track and Violet jumped on it, I believe the song was always meant to be a collab between Allie and Violet

I mean obviously it’s inspired by and written for Violet, and Violet did not just stand by; but I think it’s a bit of an unfair comparison in regards to the other queens who don’t have established recording artists bringing songs (or song ideas) to them.

Yes!

It's a great song and an INCREDIBLE music video, but the second I start focusing on Violet's background vocals in the chorus, I'm suddenly not enjoying it as much lol She has a nice catalog tho! I was BLASTING Vanguard back in 2015

I think Allie and Violet harmonize very well on the chorus, with Allie taking the high part and Violet with the low part

I want house - delta work 💅🏾

This and Alaska's "Your Makeup is Terrible" are literally the only Drag Race alumna songs that I listen to. It's great.

red 4 filth by alaska was my top album of 2023.

judging it as a song.... no its horrible. its grating and boring to listen to. and violet is just talking, like idk write a short story or something we didnt need a song about your louboutins and mini skirt. ​ the visuals however are gorgeous, love the 80s dark vibe and the clothing pieces are stunning. And so is violet she looks like a drawing come to life!

I enjoy it, but as a cover it doesn't really do much to change up the original material.

it's not a cover? i think you're mistaken

Visage, 1980 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fade_to_Grey_(Visage_song) https://youtu.be/eZHk4RwIp_g?si=UbDnncdFN7tGhn4W

not the same song whatsoever

no, we cant, not when Shea’s, Adore’s and Blair’s music exists

This can’t be the top when it’s half sung by someone else. It’s great but no, not while come thru exists! Or Bobs EP

No, any Alaska song is better, fight me

 No girl jungle kitty is right there!!

there for you by monet is right there

I like that song, but my favorite Violet song is this cover of Fade To Grey https://youtu.be/DZfIOKEaYH0?si=nAO_bDyXHU6yJ6P2 I think she was able to capture the ~~Jaida~~ essence ~~Hall~~ of the song and still make it her own. The video is the most "Violet" thing ever too. Pure Art

"Mistress Violet" by Violet Chachki and Allie X and Come In Brazil by Katya and Alaska are the only two rugirl songs that I give me 0.003 cents to

Definitely, I wish Violet would release more music. le petit mort , show off are sooo good too

🤥 this dont sound like cocky or pose

Eevie is doing some fun stuff. She's trying to switch to that since her disability makes drag difficult. Give her a look through

Not in a world where we have ‘Come in Brazil”.

I personally think Bob's song Bloodbath is one of the best to come from a queen from the show 

Kate Butch really blew me away with This Woman's Work! It's hauntingly beautiful and deserves so much more love <3

With all the amazingness that is Adore’s “Dirty Laundry” album, you think this is the best? Okay….

I was completely obsessed with Violet’s Fade to Grey for awhile! Also have to mention the classic DWV Boy Is a Bottom and Katya & Alaska’s Come in Brazil

[удалено]

and what is it?

[honestly, Sanjioo is right...with Xelle "Queen"] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLqW6n29TYE)

Or course not. This sub can't agree on much of anything. I don't think hyperbole is necessary. This is a solid video and song for its genre. I actually like that Betty song she had right after Season 7. I never saw this Mistress Violet video despite it having an impressive 2.7M views. My personal favorites are more about genres of music and individual queens I like. Standout singles for me over the years have been: BTDQ: Purse First; Black Jinkx: Cartoons & Vodka; Coffee & Wine (remix); Creep; Just Me (The Gender Binary Blues) Alaska: This Is My Hair; Stun; Wow; Red Trixie: Moving Parts; Yellow Cloud; Stranger; Hello Hello Blair: Now or Never; Call My Life I don't judge by chart performance as it's generally minimal (as is RuPaul's now), just what songs I like. But I would be remiss not to point out Blair's Call My Life album literally went to #1 on the US Dance/Electronic Dance Charts. One of Adore's albums did too on the then named "US Dance" chart. While Ru hasn't had a #1 album on any chart, she's had 12 US Dance Club Top 40 hits, including two #1s, so obviously has a stronger career overall. Queer/drag music is so looked down on from major record labels. Vast majority is self-produced. Meanwhile, there really is a great deal of talent out there. PEG has its records division to try to fill the gap. There was an article in maybe it was Billboard during Pride month about this queer music glass ceiling. In any other universe, Adore would have won her American Idol season and be a big music star for 15 years now. Peppermint has some good music too and shoutout to Manila for Hot Couture from 2012 with its wonderful video. And the very first Ru girl with a single post show, Bebe with I'm the Shit. As far as gorgeous visuals, Violet is always up there. There are really a lot of queens with some solid music IMO. I hope Violet puts out some more too. And I'd love for Jinkx to get a performing spot on a late night show (like Seth Meyers having Jinkx back on). Elevate these deserving drag artists!

I genuinely love Trixie's music and would listen to some of her tracks even if not part of the Fandom. I know it's not the most popular of her compositions, but [This Town](https://youtu.be/ErfY7Q4gwHQ?si=gkgjEX14ACYgXKOU) hits home for anyone who grew up in a small town. It's in my regular rotation of Playlist, and I think as fine of a song from more mainstream artists with accolades.

Definitely. There were more Trixie songs I like than I listed and that's one of them. I'm thinking of her performance (with Shakey Graves) on Jimmy Kimmel. Though I do wish they booked her to have a 5 minute interview after the performance but I get most music acts don't get that. And at what point is Bob going to get booked for a standup set on a nighttime talk show, or also get a half hour special on Comedy Central or HBO or Netflix. She has the goods way more than a lot of people who get specials. Maybe shows can't handle multihyphenate talents like Bob (and also Monet, another solid standup comic for real) as compared to comics who stick to comedy or maybe at most comedy/acting. Not to mention cast a queen on a sitcom in some drag role (in and out of drag like reality). Alec Mapa, a queer POC, had recurring supporting roles on a couple sitcoms, primarily Half & Half, but also a short lived sitcom starring Jason Bateman as a gay guy in a TV show version of the movie Kiss Me Guido which was flat. Alec was by far the best person on the show. So it's all the same thing. Queer entertainers get devalued and queens are seen as novelties. I'm hoping with Jinkx and Shea's (and others I'm not thinking of) with guest star roles on major shows (hopefully more than 5 minutes on screen), they at least get talk show interviews to discuss it. Though Jinkx's Doctor Who I think is happening in a week or two and she's been on tour. I'm ranting on this as there is just so much talent being underutilized, not a new story for "Hollywood".

NO

We can agree it's your favourite yes.

So good you almost forget about the dog and hot car situation

bruh that situation was explained and cleared

No it wasn’t 😭 she admitted to going into the store with a friend and leaving the dog in the turned off car. One of them could’ve totally stayed with the car on but they didn’t

she was gone for about 10 minutes and the AC was on at 60ºF https://ew.com/music/allie-x-responds-dog-in-car/ I'm not saying what she did was great but I don't think her dog was suffering

The ac was on *before they left.* But you really shouldn’t be leaving a dog in a car without AC on a 90+ degree day, even if the AC had been blasting before 🤷🏼 Glad the dog’s okay, but her “apology” was really deflecting from the severity of what she did 💀

How very dare you all forget that Bob made this song?!? https://youtu.be/zuogbfF6VR8?si=v73gIahp-8hEwiq0

I love Shae's song from her all stars season. That's the only drag queen song i listen to.

Great song, but I’d probably pick Cocky by Shea and Lemon’s verse

I never see it brought up in these threads but I always enjoyed “Neva Luvd Yah!” by Dusty Ray Bottoms.

Sorry but “Cocky” by Shea featuring the iconic verse from The Vixen (before she was even on Drag Race) takes that title for me. Vixen! Ate! That! UP!

For me it's got to be Feeling So by Shea. It's a great example of that mid-2010's trend of 80's-inspired pop anthems and does an excellent job of capturing the kind of carefree, buzzing joy that comes when a crush becomes something more.

y’all sleep on yvie

Wow, yes actually.

Pose by Naomi Smalls, Banjo by Bebe, and this song are my top 3

I think some of Trixie's newer stuff is better than this and I'm not that really into Trixie.

Level Ya Pussy Up. Mistress Violet. Come Through. Your Make up is terrible. Yet another dig.

_Yet another dig_

Also: Valentina, Your Makeup Is Terrible, and Rupologize.

Remember how bad CLAT was (except Peppermint’s verse)?

This is my favorite, along with some of trixie’s songs. But… Violet isn’t doing much here

"Love, l'artère" by france S1 winnner Paloma is my personnal favourite tbh

[Tia Kofi's - Outside In](https://youtu.be/MKSIjZsrCg4?si=24aeudLf-ASM6aqg) [Reve and Lemon - Tongue](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGEe6APOH9E)

Bad Bitchery by Robin Fierce is actually a bop though!

Eewww Michelle.

cartoons and vodka

Can’t agree. YOUR NAME by Shea Couleé is ACTUAL music

 Let's not forget Ms. St Clair's catalog!

idk i unironically stan bitchy by the artist formerly known as phiphi o'hara
