Most Overrated Queens on Drag Race

Rupaul

Ross Matthews. She lost all that weight but she still needs a neck lift

I don't hear about her as much anymore, but...Naomi Smalls. I've said this before. Yes, he's a man in makeup, but there's no transformation in his drag. At all. And aside from his height (6'5" in bare feet), he's unremarkable. But during his season, he was propped up and practically worshipped. Why? I don't fucking know.

And while I appreciated his shtick at first, Detox is on my list as well. I've seen a few of his performances online, and while they were funny at first, ultimately they're one-note. And he's not done anything to evolve beyond that.

And I agree with R1 as well. I have no illusions about just who Rupaul is, exactly. And while handing his makeup, and hair over to artists better equipped to handle them resulted in Emmy awards for both Raven & Delta Work, that he doesn't even do that for himself at this point isn't helping. But he wasn't ever good at these things.

Gottmik, I think she came in 3rd and is on every red carpet in America. Nice looks, but I'm not sure what's so great about her.

Raja, man face with a sour personality. Wit extends to just being bitchy.

I disagree with all three that the OP mentions, but in agreement on everyone else's. Come on, how can you not love Vangie!?

All of them.

Then you REALLY must hate Raven, R6. I admit, I never miss Fashion Photo Ruview with Raja & Raven. I think they complement each other really well in that show. I'd love to meet them both. But they're only two of maybe a handful that I like enough that I'd be willing to do a meet & greet (provided the price is right).

I FEEL VERY ATTACKED!!!

Gottmik.

Uh, I never said I hated Raja. I said I find her overrated for the reasons I stated, so calm down sweets.

Agree with Naomi Smalls. Just a big phony with horse legs. Her, and Silky. After a while Silky's shtick gets so lame. Sickening how Ru was pushing her down our throats, like she had found the next Oprah.

Not May. That's a HUGE uncut dick!

“Not May. That's a HUGE uncut dick!”

We ship her truckloads of duct tape.

All the fat ones.

They're all messed up in the head, inconsistent at best as performers, and seething with rage at not being considered healthy, fabulous, sexy and PERFECT AS THE ARE.

Ru and Michelle

I absolutely HATE Shangela and I have no idea why. She's perfectly nice, talented, etc, but I have hated her from the word go. My friend doesn't understand what my problem is and I don't either, but I don't like the bitch.

Raja and Violet own this thread.

Manila puts on and Filipino accent and crosses her eyes. That's it. She's never been funny and now she's old.

I would add Tina Burner and Kandy Muse - in their own minds.

.........

Bob the Drag Queen is absolutely amazing, comedy gold.

For me it's Katya. SHE is the MOST overrated. Let's not pick on lesser or broker queens. A lower price ticket to see Katya and Trixie on their upcoming tour is $260. You want close to the stage? $900. Hell nah. They aren't even Drag Queens. The sit together and laugh hard. In ironic clothing. Trixie is unikeable but talented. Katya is a very lucky old bald drug addict. Cuz that bitch is officially nutz. And only funny in a schizoid methy word salad kind of way. You'd have to pay me to go see it.

Silky RuDeemed herself on All Stars 68. She paints beautifully, puts on a show for the peoples and is a good LIVE singer too. She's far from overrated. She's underpaid and too often hated.

Naomi Smalls AND Kim Chi were both undeserving of their final three placements and boring dumb WoW series. But they're OVER now. Only thing Naomi ever did that was noteworthy was ROB Manilla of her All Stars crown.

Manila Luzon is a LEGEND. Nothing in the lexicon of Drag Queen that cute artistic man can't do. Including perform his ass off in a club.

Raja is disliked by even the people who watch HIS shitty show where she does nothing but praise every iteration, variation and bad runway of RuPaul's Empire. In his valley girl vocal fry. He's grotesque.

BoB, Bianca and Shangela are STARS. And therefore all are kind of safe, predictable and hard working. None are overrated. They deliver what's expected of them. They all have professional PERSONALITY.

Interesting that OP and others in this thread only have an issue with black queens.
