[@jayzielinski9301]

Finally, a classy opening for Continental!

[@TheDragLover]

Agreed. I haven't enjoyed an opening this much since Alexis Sherrington's in 2012.

[@geneterrell999]

That was a very boring opening for Continental.

Someone out there has a passion for Irish dancing and high pageant drag and is going to come across this video and simply LIVE 🤣

[@linedanzer4302]

Love it! Who knew that Riverdance would ever meet up with Drag. It's a sweet union.

[@lastrega2968]

What a great opening! The standard of gowns was sensational. Really strong Comeback.

[@paulmaloney9188]

Mimi Marks exudes beauty and humbleness alltogether !

[@melindablack8750]

Thank you for this, I was there last year but unfortunately was still standing in line to get in and missed the parade of formers, Vanessa Van Cartier is a class act ❤️

[@ramseyhernandez1270]

Beautiful opening but the audio and quality of the video are horrible.

Alexis Gabrielle did it once again Yassssss

[@Leeleemeow]

Bravo!!!! Bravo!!!! Absolutely wonderful! Ive been waiting for you to post this. Vanessa is amazing! Loved it all but missed some of the girls that year due to Covid still raging.

[@Allenguyen]

I loved this opening! But is it just me or was the audio and lighting really harsh this year

[@melindablack8750]

The audio was terrible. I was there that night and it was so bad that you couldn't understand the music, it was all bass sound, snd every one sitting on top of each other they packed us up like sardines in that theater, maybe thats why it's going to be at the Riviera this year, it's much bigger and hopefully a better DJ.

[@msp.5159]

Alexis Gabriel Sherrington always grace the runway with pomp and circumstance, in style. 👍👌❤❤❤

[@ANGELO54]

Beautiful opening.

[@thekeith-donovanexperience]

This was cool!

[@ravenlozo2256]

hi! may I know the music that they were all walking to in the beginning? I initially thought it was fuego, or riverdance, but it was not. I just heard it again here in this video and it burnt me to the point that I have to hear it over and over again!

[@melindablack8750]

Will you be putting up a video of the continental contestant's for 2022?

What's the name of the song that Vanessa's performing to?

[@lisbonirish]

It's the opera aria "Una Voce Poco Fa" from the opera Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville) by Rossini.

[@drewu213]

Great darling, thanks. But the sound is terrible, sounds like someone is frying bacon backstage X

[@houseofbuck007]

Where is Jazell and Tommie Ross

[@TheDragLover]

Tommie Ross attended the pageant but I don't know why she did not participate in the opening. Also would have loved to have seen Sasha Colby and maybe Paris Frantz in this lineup. Always miss Tulsi, Armani, Tasha Long and Victoria LePaige as well.

[@szymon200000]

Is there a reason why Naysha wasn’t in drag? Sorry I’m new

[@TheDragLover]

That weekend Naysha competed as Fabian in the Mr. Continental division. He may have decided to stick to male form for the entire weekend. He can be seen escorting some of the female competitors during the Miss division, like Silkie Munro. Maybe he just wanted to reflect his male persona since he was competing in the male division. Check out his answer to the final question during the male competition. It may provide some insight. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6C8dZ2vbMR4hc0

Damn no Tommie Ross Victoria Le Paige Armani Tulsi Michelle Dupree Chena Black 😒😐🙄

[@TheDragLover]

Kelly Lauren is usually there too. Heather Fontaine showed up a few years ago. But honestly, I've never seen Chena Black in any of the openings after the 80's. Would love to see Tiffany Ariageus, Chanel Dupree, Lakesha Lucky and, of course, Monica Murno as well.

[@TheDragLover]

No one is talking about Brooke Lynn Hytes or Mokha Montrese missing as well.

The Beautiful Chanel Dupree is one that's always Amazing to see on the Continental Runway as well!!! In my opinion one of The BEST!!!

Chena Black has never returned once, Michelle Dupree retired, and Tulsi has only returned twice since winning the title aside from the night she gave the crown up.
