Mami Watta Era Sacred Queen of France (Du Drag) during the final of Drag Race All StarsThis Thursday, August 28. In addition to its title and its crown, the winner of this edition wins 30,000 euros, a novelty compared to the previous seasons. The last episode of Drag Race All Stars also brought together Ellips, Picé and Misty Phoenix.
If the program was transmitted at 11:20 pm to live in France 2 and France.TV, it had been filmed a week earlier in Olympia in the presence of several thousand spectators. Two final scenarios were recorded so that the winner’s name was preserved until the transmission. His coronation was carried out during a visualization party organized by production at the Tokyo Palais, in the presence of all the finalists.
Lip synchronizations in Gogo
Until now, the finals of Drag Race France It always took place in the same way: each finalist had to achieve an individual performance of his choice. At the end of this first step, the two best candidates had to compete in a Lip -Sync, an event consisting of the interpretation of a song, an included choreography, in reproduction. The latter was an opportunity to make “revelations”, that is, transform their outfits into an eye opening and close during performance.
The season of all stars forces, the rules change. The individual test gives way to another lip synchronization. Two duos were drawn to compete in a first lip synchronization. The two winners of this first step faced during a second lip synchronization.
Two favorites
Two important favorites seemed to leave this season. First, Mami Watta, who was already a finalist of season 2. The Iivéo-Française artist, who had his name of an African aquatic divinity, marked the season, getting up for three weeks in the first place. The one who studied the law before embarking on the dredge takes out of his ivory heritage as a dance hall and an Afro-fouturist aesthetic.
His direct competitor was ellips. Sixth of the first season of Drag Race FranceThe Drag Queer Burgundy, from the family group, surprised its competitors and has been demonstrated in the episodes with androgynous, orderly and political looks. The one who was crowned Miss Sympathy during her previous participation won two Nicky badges, that is, she placed twice on the top of the podium.
Among the strangers, Misty Phoenix, a former candidate of the third season, was one of the figures. The full artist, Drag Queen who studied fashion and dance at the conservatory, achieved several surprising performances until you get two victories. He noticed for his drilling lines and his humor, says he played with “a touch of insolence” in his outfits and is called herself, “Garce.”
It was also necessary to have piche. Often, at the top of the classification, Drag Queen Barbue won only one badge at the end of final lip synchronizations. The candidate for the second season presents a spectacular aesthetic, sometimes at the crossroads of his gypsy origins, and the figures he admires as Lady Gaga, Jessie J or Bree van der Kamp of Desperate housewivesSometimes with costumes like frige or a look at Formalus. Dancer and rapper, Piche was part of the group of artists who acted during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games of Paris 2024.
Iconic tests
This special edition brought together ten of the best candidates from previous seasons, those who have not yet been sacred, and has given them a new opportunity to win the crown. Two jury members joined Nicky Doll and Daphné Bürki to decide among the Drag Queens: Loïc Prigent and Thy’m. The prestigious guests of the season also helped them throughout the season, especially Marion Cotillard, Thomas Jolly or Judith Godrèche.
This season was an opportunity to find the legendary events of Drag race Such as the artillery game, improvisation and imitation of personalities or weak heel, the show parody The weak link. The new characteristics also marked the program, such as the elimination process: unlike the previous years, it is the winner of the week of the week, and not the jury, which was to eliminate one of the two “queens” at the end of the classification. Therefore, Moon, a Swiss candidate involved in the trans cause, stopped at the doors of the final, when Mami Watta favored the piche.
