Raja: "In My Arms" @ RuPaul's Drag Tour!

Raja performs the Sebastien Leger Vocal Mix of "In My Arms" by Kylie Minogue @ the RuPaul Drag Race Tour held June 1st 2012 @ Micky's in West Hollywood. Shot by Myles Matisse.

[@Tellevangeline]

People always say violet is the best look queen in drag race history (deservedly so) but imo raja is just (ironically) so much more modern and global and I think that gives her the edge over violet.

[@oh4539]

Raja did what violet is doing now a long time ago. Now violet preforms with Dita and so did Raja back in the day. Also the fetish elements are something raja was very well known for

[@ashleycrash8838]

True, but Raja will always have that extra grit and glamour and charm, even eloquence and presence that just can’t be replicated through fashion. She transcends fashion, she is fashion

[@Clinty727]

I’d say raja is the fashion queen, she came from the makeup and modeling world and violet said when she first started she didn’t know much about fashion and it just kinda happened that she became known as the fashion queen.

[@kdmiranda]

100%!!!!!!!

[@clyderamirez1]

3 years later and this number still gives me life resurrecting me from the ground up YAAAASSS

[@GGIGamingINC]

Come on 5 years later!!!

[@jas7188]

Come through 6 years

[@dmc3319]

Come on 11 years

[@gonejja]

Raja is truely what androgyny means to me, she is a man but a women at the same time. I find him extremely sexy for his masculine qualities but absolutely beautiful as a women.

[@maryberry6262]

I agree one hundred and twenty million percent!

[@shelleynobleart]

yep. Well said.

[@ramyams5184]

I swear, Raja makes me question my sexuality all of the time.

[@kandakebrooks7530]

+Ramie Yamaguchi same her and Raven❤️

[@KayGirl216]

Took the words out of my mouth. Man or woman I am so attracted to this beautiful human for many reasons.

[@cosmicheather]

see me with them arms

[@userneime]

Can u imagine being in the bar drunk and seeing this? Life experience!!!!

[@marchelofolck]

This is the perfect mix of comedy, fashion, culture, drag!!!!!! Raja its such a amazing performer

[@glittergrasshopper1144]

her face when the curtains open.. Raja is a magical being

[@orgxiii4ever]

Gag. People who say Raja cant perform,watch this.

[@thellytholdtheathellth5278]

+orgxiii4ever People say that?

[@twixxsticks2806]

Literally no one says that haha

[@gabeash007]

Raja needs props to give a good performance. Without it she's just walking around

[@icydelight3693]

@@gabeash007 she's not much of a dancer if that's what you're saying, but even without props she knows how to serve face and how to pose/move. She could just strut around the stage while serving face and posing and it would be more entertaining than some Queens who dance more than her. Besides she doesn't just walk, she moves her body, her arms etc etc in a sensual, graceful way. It's not hardcore vogueing but she it's more than just walking. Besides, her walk is not just a walk, her walk is legendary. And the props... They're part of who she is, of her creativity. She knows how to create a look that matches the song and she always has some cool ideas to make the performance more interesting. Creating those looks require talent and craftiness. Raja is nearly unmatched in her ability to create sickening looks from scratch and she incorporates this in her performances. Just look at this video, Through the fire, the one in which she was dressed as a carnivorous plant (night of the living drag) etc etc. She has an insane level of creativity. Sasha Velour bested Shea because of her creativity, even though Shea was the better dancer. At the end of the day lipsyncing is not necessarily about hardcore dancing, it's about being entertaining. And btw Raja doesn't lipsync all the time, she also sings live and she's actually good at it. I heard her cover Adam Lambert and she did well, just like she did well on RPDR s3 when she covered that RuPaul's song. She can sing. She can also do stand-up comedy (as she proved on the show) and she's a good host, so she has multiple ways to entertain the public and not all of them require props.

[@javierlopeztapia5588]

Raja herself says that byee

[@leosousa6636]

this is art

[@officialejj8075]

I gasped when I saw those arms. Raja just unbelievable, fucking love this chick she gives me life!!

[@joshuahughes-davies7124]

I love how Raja, like Kim Chi embodies elements of her ethnic lineage and doing an Indian Goddess tribute was genius

[@perezdavidangel]

Shes Indonesian not Indian. .

[@Gfriend_Buddy99]

@@perezdavidangel hindu-buddha influence a lot of indonesian culture.. So the above comment wasn't that far fetched...

[@erikm8372]

They even influenced Philippines history many centuries ago. The early Indian conquests were all over Southeast Asia.

[@powresitta]

shame other hands are not functional, she'd collect much more money

[@stealthragnarr2644]

Yes bro yes

[@mlou3610]

omg if she did this on drag race... amaze

[@Tefixitafuckme]

Raja and Raven should have a tutorial on "how to be sexy effortlessly"

[@teamph633]

Raja is my queen

[@addwantedparadise]

hot

[@stealthragnarr2644]

He is king actually watch behind the scenes

[@faku.iglesias]

Kylie + Raja =

[@10sweller]

This bitch is not normal, she is an epic genius. Raja gives me life.

[@Nikhil9707]

I dare you now boot this violet 💀

[@alexashelby2917]

I love the way Raja lip synchs...so elegant, fun and gorgeous. Reminds me a lot of Raven's style! Seeing how Raja won S3 with such a similar lip synch and performance talent, I still don't get Raven's loss. SMH

[@leodisphillips6371]

Tyra destroyed her.......

[@nolangreene8168]

+leodis phillips no

[@shaniqua2789]

grrl, u still in denial? raven got slaughtered

[@chaoticneutral8040]

+Nolan Greene lmao yes. tyra won 3 challenges without ever landing in the bottom 2. raven lip sanc twice, tyra never did. anyone that says raven was robbed didn't watch season 2

[@alexashelby2917]

I think I and a lot of other RPDR fans regret Raven didn't win is because she's salty but Tyra is a huge bitch, negative, nasty. I would rather have an imperfect winner than a perfect one who is cold and has no personality.

[@LieutenantSloth]

This performance gives me chills :)

[@oscar210590]

Now This is art peopleee! this is a true artistic performance!!

[@yoshana87]

omg Raja is sooo beautiful here!!! Love her!

Raja is the best of all the drag queens I've seen on RuPauls drag race. However, I love everyone that made it on all the seasons. Raja is fucking gorgeous though!

[@angelmora3660]

[@fulanocubano]

THis performance struck me as artistic and unique..the first time i actually feel Raja owned it since winning. Good luck to you girl.

[@sexys531]

[@plastiqueedwards2722]

[@houseoftyrell1544]
