Sasha Velour gives epic performance at DOODz

I figure most of you are here because of Drag Race. Thazz cool, welcome! I’d like to point out tho, while yr here, that before Ru-rumours started circulating about Sasha, this video had only a handful of views, maybe 100. I’m thrilled that more people are interested in seeing her perform cuz she’s incredible! I’ve been a cheerleader for Sasha since I met her back in early 2015 and began booking her for everything I could. She is, tho, just one of MANY extraordinarily talented dragunz from Brooklyn. Two of them have also been on Drag Race: Thorgy and Aja, but there are plenty of others that either WILL be on Drag Race one day or simply don’t fit into that machine despite being just as brilliant and talented and a joy to see live … because Drag Race is what?!? NOT. THE. CENTER. OF. DRAG.

Its actually pretty cool cause Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights is an adaptation of a classic late 18th century Gothic novel and Nosferatu is an adaptation of a late 19th century revivalist Gothic novel.

[@ChrisofHur]

thunkyoo fur nott sayun dumm stuuf #MWAHz

[@paillette2010]

WH: Mid-19th c. Novel. :)

[@mike856ms]

Ima Dork Kate Bush is a GOD. She is like the European version of America's Madonna.

[@dylan6208]

girl wuthering heights was NOT not a late 18th century novel

[@paulboard8221]

gagged, slayed, impressed, murdered, scalped this is fucking art

[@MR-fx9gg]

so well said

[@ccmesich]

proof that she doesn't need the production and visuals to win a lip sync. she's totally ready. besides, who needs splits and kicks when you have spooks and tricks?

[@LucaCullen]

Before watching this i was team sasha, Now i am obssesed

[@BiaMalaga]

luca damperat SAME

[@jvalley1138]

Sasha for president

[@genesiskravitz8621]

I remember hearing Sasha saying in an interview that it was funny how she never had to lip sync for her life, and that was one of her strengths. It ultimately won her the title (of course, apart from her many other strengths).

[@makaksi]

wow......this is the true meaning of drag as art. Visual/Emotional/Palpable.....BRILLIANT!

[@nathancreek6086]

They better not treat her the same way they treat the other club kids on drag race.... you can tell she's either gonna win or it's another milk/betty moment

[@commonroach]

Nathan Creek I'm hoping it's like a Sharon situation where everyone underestimates her but then she fucking wins

[@estelmarine6670]

+Nathan Creek I don't think you get it though. Sharon IS a club kid, Ollie was just adding to the conversation. Also, I don't know why people think Tyra takes herself too seriously; you even imply that Raven should have won yet she was anything but humble in her season. Tatianna clocked her in the reunion. Drag is not PC. It's not only the "not being offensive" tag but also the identity politics and the baggage that comes with it. Drag mocks identity, either alt-right or PC. And I wanted Katya to win (in season 7 but I must admit Alaska beat her ass in AS2) yet I recognize Violet is the rightful winner. RuPaul is always right, because who knows better than Ru to judge who should win RuPauls Drag Race? Clearly not someone who would say Raven should have won (in either S2 or AS1). *>>EDIT

[@nathancreek6086]

you were right, shes about to win

[@fernandodiez1339]

She won so congratulations haha

[@SY-gx1xz]

who's betty?

[@devonzoal9385]

[@thequeenbee7081]

Michael Soares well she won girl 😂

[@Johnnythakyd]

As a dancer I spotted those musicalities. This drag queen can dance.

[@katelynfinley330]

GODDAMN. This is the best lip Sync I've ever seen and Sasha Velour better fucking win Season 9. This is the future of drag. ART.

[@Terryode2007]

God are you kidding me!! This bitch is the most incredible queen I've ever seen. I've been infatuated with her and her work since I very first ever saw her but watching performances like this only pushes me deeper into how fascinated i am with her. Ive never been so inspired and artistically energized by a person before. Thank god for Sasha Velour.

[@aeris44]

Pure poetry! I was so oddly mesmerized, creeped out and somehow seduced...what a performance!

[@rui2500]

This summarizes the way I feel about her perfectly.

[@hinorichan172]

Dare I say it. THIS IS THE BEST LIPSYNC FROM ANY DRAG QUEEN. EVER.

[@mistermooseyman]

Avrila Vyne though I was gagged, Tandi Iman Dupree lipsyncing to I need a hero is the greatest lipsync in all existence , if you haven't seen it is recommend it so much

[@ashleighcranford3541]

I really like Bob the drag queen's lipsyncs to the 'Crazy' mix, I have/dreamed a dream, and the unfaithful one.

[@atlaslife3800]

[@bluedevil7043]

Sash Velour is doing some next level stuff, that was amazing.

[@cherrycola3604]

Yael Teenage-Tragedy well, checking back in... SHE WENT AND WON IT GIRL!! WHOOP

[@cagliarigirl6510]

Thank you Chris for sharing this video and the long list of talents. I live in a remote little town in Sardina where my only contact with drag and the LGBT community is through the Internet, so I promise I will check them out, and if I ever go to Brooklyn , rest assured I will go to your club. Thanks you Again!

[@jonsnow1241]

Long May She Reign

[@lovefirst6270]

Real drag performer. Sasha is so talented.

[@Drezzedtokill]

Write the screenplay for this it needs a movie

[@ariom9961]

The new winner of RPDR

[@GhostOfAmsterdam69]

I honestly knew she would win once i saw her lipsynchs before the show began. She is unique.

[@georgemackey20]

Entertainment!! I'm completely Team Sasha! 😍❤

[@joshuafigueroa9527]

i have so much respect for this queen.

[@jstone7365]

fucking brilliant!!

[@taisgabriele7434]

I can't stop watching. It's just so fucking amazing! I'm totally in love with this performance.

[@jasmine-ashleighburns9897]

I hope that if Sasha has to lip sync (which I doubt because she slaayyyss)- that she pulls out those teeth and weirds the judges out because laughter is the key- she's not a splits and death drop queen, which usually keeps queens in, so I'm worried. I live for her, #teamsashavelour

[@artbertomedia]

There's Sasha, there's Bianca, and THEN there are the rest.

[@maggierusso304]

Wow this made me love her even more i hope shes wins this season

[@postin17]
