Every single Crystal Methyd's DeBarge mullet moment

[@Jorieeeeen]

· (El) DeBarge got named 19 times · Rhythm of the Night played 10 times · The word 'mullet' was used 14 times · RuPaul was 100% jealous when Raven got to touch Crystal's hair

[@sarahsheary2604]

They got their money’s worth on that song if they played it 10 times.

[@ceciliamarques7832]

This is like 1.5 debarge name drops per episode lmao

FACTS

Gay stadistics

[@bunnyandherstuff]

Crystal Methyd made drag race herstory for being the first queen ru dreams about

[@layali5723]

Imagine if she did rhythm of the night for the finale lipsync. It would be I C O N I C

[@liamross340]

I loved Like A Bird so much but Jesus if she did that Ru would’ve instantly crowned her the winner

[@shaxbrontedickens]

she did it on her film get dusted and it was w other queens :)

[@layali5723]

@@shaxbrontedickens yeah, it was really stunning, can't wait for for g3t dust3d :)

[@kasiaandrzejewska4474]

@@shaxbrontedickens where could i find it? I need to see it 😆

[@shaxbrontedickens]

Kasia Andrzejewska its on a site called viemo and the film is called ‘get dusted’ it should be the first video on the reel but i highly recommend watching the whole thing as well as the other two :)

[@justjkid4892]

Ironically, I bet El Debarge is wondering who tf is Crystal Methyd

[@Emione]

Crystal should comeback for an All Star and do El DeBarge for Snatch Game 🤣

[@monsieurromanbedlam5101]

I can imagine Crystal just going in there with no makeup and Ru would still be fine with it XD

[@Emione]

Roman 1987 YES

[@TheDancerMacabre]

She should be a lip sync assassin for AS5 with Rhythm of the night

[@Slientsword4631]

RIGHT!! I’ve been thinking of that for years!!

[@honey--8284]

Ehmyon yes HUNEY

[@mauriciocppaiva]

Crystal should have done ElDebarge without even knowing him, only being herself and the win of the challenge would have been HERS

[@timblom7364]

Would honestly be hilarious!! Ru would throw references at her and Crystal would just give a confused cute smile! Excited to see el debarge on All stars!!

[@dawnwien3redits]

Tbh she wasn’t bad as poppy it’s just Ru didn’t know who she was

[@summonersupport8056]

Maybe she would have won the snatch game with ElDebarge impersonation, but tbh, she didn't know who he was, and she told us that the first time Ru used the ED reference

[@shiroi201]

Right?? Ru would've peed himself laughing!😆

[@misharyal-saani3507]

@@dawnwien3redits if only crystal made fun of the poppy character even more instead of just impersonating her it would've been funnier even if you didn't know who poppy was, the "they release my music" joke was so good if only she sticked to it and added more to it

[@elizavetachernova7151]

I live for this jeff goldblum's reaction

The fact that he constantly referred to Crystal as El DeBarge too Also timestamp for reaction: 2:25

[@Starscooterkart]

“.. yeah :)”

[@nisarojas2869]

Jeff goldblum in that episode alone was a gem

[@lealoaf]

Best ep

[@amymifsud7864]

Cause he’s a dinosaur doctor As said by Jaida

[@sibrak706]

the fact that rupaul tried to convince her to do el debarge for snatch game even tho she didn't know who that is...i-

[@multifandomer_]

In all fairness Crystal could’ve done the worst el debarge in history and still would have won the challenge

[@ffrai3094]

ru was joking

[@TheDaneyeledee]

@@multifandomer_ Honestly, Crystals voice is similar to El Dabarge’s.

[@Oxymoric]

And even if she knew him how do you make el debarge funny? The Debarges lives were so troubled and their family history so dark

[@alhol7558]

Ru definitely had a huge crush on El Debarge back in the day and idk if he’s aware how strong that showed through lmao

[@kennettabradford6566]

Men and women likes El 😂🤣😂🤣

[@kiramabel2216]

the fact that rhythm of the night became a sound bite kills me

She's should use rhythm of the night as lipsync song tbh... That will be iconic

[@leila125]

In Get Dusted: the Movie her and her friends do a lip sync performance to it. However i was hoping she used it in the finale lmao

[@elliekate7824]

You know she would’ve won 😂😂 it would have broken ru 😂😂

I never realized in the beginning gigi said I love that hair girl I CAN'T

[@ibugfishi]

"You and I both know that mullet can CAPTIVATE someone." girl- that's something

[@dessssire]

That was the beginning

[@isabella1595]

I just wanna know if any of the producers showed her what el debarge looks like or if she was just guessing the whole time

[@summonersupport8056]

LMAOOOOO ME TOO! 😂😂😂

[@fatimascrying]

I don't know why, but I'm obsessed with rupaul's obsession with crystal methyd's mullet. it's just everything to me. and that el debarge running gag is so iconic

[@MitchellWiggs]

The music 😭 *feel the beat of the rhythm of the night*

[@eoghanfeighery7383]

She means business in the front...and PARTY IN THE BACK!!!!!!! 🎵FEEL THE BEAT OF THE RHYTHM OF THE NIGHT!🎵

[@Saraa968]

yeah...

[@eliaaron.8852]

RuPaul singing Rhythm of the night is like in season 6 when she wouldn't stop saying "Oh no she betta don't"

[@KinjiroTheThunder]

The difference being that Oh No She Betta Don't isn't a super old song from the early 90's that your mom and dad may have grown up with in their adult years

[@MuggenKlapper]

Crystal's mullet had more screen time then some of the queens

[@renanreixach]

0:22 - Crystal's "uhum" as if she just remembered who DeBarge is

[@moamoaoz]

reminds me of me in the past when I pretended like I knew the song people were singing in middle school

[@modtini]

So Ru could get Rhythm of the Night to play 10 times but couldn’t pay for 1 minute of a Janet Jackson song??? *Choices*

[@caitthecat]

I get what you're trying to say, but some companies are straight up greedy with their songs. It's entirety possible that playing even 20 of that song would cost less than a Janet Jackson song.

[@sisronweasley2074]

Agreed royalties are no joke gurl Janet Jackson's songs must be expensive

[@JeremyMYG]

I didn’t realize how much Ru stanned Crystal for this mullet/El Debarge moment. I’m screamingggg. Ru is obsessed.

[@kaiver5687]

THE WAY THIS PART WAS EDITED MADE ME SCREAM 1:21

Look.. Ru kept calling her El Debarge because she couldn't remember her actual name. You know it's true.

Really wish Crystal had done her finale individual lip synch to Rhythm of the Night

[@laurooq]

Had she done that she would have been crowned. And solely on the basis of the mullet. I swear to God, Crystal is talented, funny and creative af, but if she'd played a little more on the El Debarge thing she wouldn't even need to be. Ru was so into it lol.

[@lifeisrosyyy]

0:26 I love how they have a moment of silence and then they start singing it again 💀💀💀

[@grm7237]

She's my happy pill now ❤️❤️❤️ wish to see her on next all stars

[@woschaebedip]

I gave myself a mullet haircut in quarantine. And when I saw Crystal being this beautiful, fun and weird perfekt human being, rocking almost exacly the same hair as me, I got this enormous confidence boost and reasurance that I did the right thing. I love her so much and she also inspired me to get some colourful blouses and leopard print and have more fun with clothes. Thank you El DeBarge, I mean, Crystal Methyd!
