Madonna Rusical is still so iconic. One of the best episodes in Drag Race History. Everyone did so phenomenal.

“Shade: The Rusical” is one of my favorite performances of the series. Funny, live vocals, a decent performance from each queen.

Gigi and Jaida gave me chills in the Madonna Rusical, but Jan’s performance gets stuck in my head like no other. She sang the shit out of that.

Utica's performance in the Unverified Rusical is so underrated and also with her runway look, she could have easily won that week with Rose, or at least place High

Moulin Ru was legendaire! I love how they started to use different camera angles during Season 14. Those lip syncs? Some of the best picture wise. I hope they keep it up!

Shade: The Rusical is still unmatched for me. The vocal stylings of Courtney and Adore definitely take it to the top, but the performances of the girls in the first team really helped elevate Courtney. To round off the Top 3 Rusicals I would also pick Madonna: The Rusical (because everybody did well in it, even Brita who was sent home that episode, and of course for the face crack moment) and Moulin Ru (primarily for Lady Camden slaying a part she didn't even want initially). For the international spin offs, I choose Rats from UK S2 as my #1. It was just fun and stupid, it was where I fell in love with Veronica Green, and Tayce in the Memory lipsynch still lives in my mind rent free.

As an italian, i’m happy that you’ve appreciated our rusical and i can also see why you didn’t get a lot of the references. Raffaella Carrà is the most recent iconic singer and she became famous because she was the first woman to show up a little belly and more provocative outfits on Tv, outside of cinematograph and despite the criticisms she received(italy is such a traditionalist country, that’s why we needed shows like drag race, even if it wasn’t top tier or with a low budget). She carried on lgbt rights and she was like a lady gaga for americans. She unfortunately passed away in 2021 and the entire episode was an heartwarming tribute, she would have definitely wanted to be a guest judge or a permanent judge if she hadn’t died before the start of filming. The edit throughout the season was messy, but we kinda enjoyed for what it is. The producer of the rusical was also Raffaella’s songwriter, that’s why we loved it💕 there’s a video on youtube where all the references are explained, and after that it will make a lot more sense!

The thumbnail genuinely looked like a Schaffrilas video and I was so shaken 😨

"Under The Big Top" is so good. From Pythia's mesmerizing Hennywise, Icesis's huge downfall from the previous episode, Eve 6000's trick up her sleeve, Synthia's lovely voice, and the utter chaos of Suki, Oceane, and Adriana.......ICONIQUE!!!!!

Season 12’s rusicals being in the top just proves that Season 12 is one of the best season

“She died when I was five years old” “haha I love it!” This is WHY the Madonna rusical is the best thank you for coming to my Ted talk

The special thing about the Madonna one- they’re alone on the stage with the backup dancers. Theres no set decor, the lights hardly change. But you don’t know because the focus is on the queens. The knocked it outta the park

I feel like some rusicals were really an uphill battle for the girls with the utter shite they were given

THANK YOU for including Thailand.. im so sick of people put them aside. Season 2 is one of the best international season i ever seen.

scarlet envy in that little shark outfit is the cutest this i’ve ever seen.

I’m a simple man, I see you post a video; and I watch it

Something I didn’t like about Moulin Ru which everyone seemingly liked (I didn’t enjoy it tbh) is that there was no live singing or pre recorded singing elements. The amazing vochals mixed with coreography and dance in Madonna The Rusical is still unmatched. I am waiting for another Rusical to touch that level!

I recently heard the full Herstory of the world song and I have to say we really missed out on the cut Cleopatra and Joan of Arc verses

Honestly, i m shocked that you put Glamazonian Airways so low. It is really my favorite. It is so catchy I can literally perform it word for word. But you explained yourself well so i get it. But still... it is so good!

So glad you've actually watched España! Both seasons are so good, can't wait for you to talk about them.

I know absolutely zero about Cats. I've never even seen it. But Rats the Rusical is definitely in my top 5. I'm probably a little biased because I love Tia Kofi and Veronica Green so much. And they really made it such a stand out. But even with the low-brow jokes aside, the cast really stepped it up and made this Rusical amazing.

okay, we can all agree social media the Rusical was bad, but Utica was iconic in that one, and was definitely robbed of a high placement

Great video as always! And unsolicited unpopular opinion, but B****h Perfect is one of my favorites. It was so on trend for the time, the megamix of Ru songs is great, Chi Chi, Naomi, and Thorgy ATE but everyone did well, and the episode itself is iconic because it was only the show's second double elimination.

Honestly, I prefer Moulin Ru over Madonna due to the fact that it actually has a plot and feels like an actual musical, while Madonna... Its just that everyone kind of slays their part, but nobody has to work to stand out among the rest and its plot is "Im Madonna A!", "Im Madonna B!" etc

As an italian I can say that the Raffaella carrà rusical was really good, they used a lot of reference and they used a lot of her songs as background music.

the drag race live las vegas one ismy absolute favorite and i'mso glad it made the top 5. it's one of the songs i listen to most out of the entire franchise. the mirrors segment just makes me so emotional and the self-written verses?? chefs kiss

As a Filipino, the OPM rusical had me on the floor from beginning to end. I honestly wish Filipino pop culture is much more widespread because the nuances and jokes are deeply rooted in Filipino culture AND pop culture and I wish the whole world could laugh with us as well.

I literally cant stop watching joan the unauthorized rusical.

I'm so happy that Thailand was included. So often it is left out but it has some phenomenal content to offer

If you listen to the whole audio for Herstory of the world, they include eliminated queens, and you can see they definitely planned for coco to win with Alyssa that week.

Things I love: JackFed videos, Rusicals. Very happy watching this! Would love more Rusical based content!

I had fully forgotten that some of these existed!

Madonna the rusical is still undefeated to me: clearly my favourite (haven’t seen all of the rusicals). Also there was something so moving to witnessing Michelle being so emotional this episode that made it special for me

i love how much personality you are able to show through you videos, when the videos are about drag race and we cannot even see you! I feel like you are so real and genuine and your audience can see the real human behind the voiceover's of ur video's because your just too damn cute! Keep up the amazing work, love to hear your opinions and so glad to see your following grow!

Under the big top is probably the best and the worst rusical at the same time, but it's really entertaining in both cases. It's one on my top 3! Also I'm glad you include the DRT s2 one! It deserves so recognition!

When you said about going back and watching old videos makes you cringe, I felt that so deeply! 😂 Great video!

Utica's performance should've been high and I'll die on that hill. Honestly, it felt so tiring that they wanted to push the narrative of Utica being another "fashion queen who is not a performer (cof, cof, Gotmik)" when she clearly was at least, good. She didn't deserve to be in the bottom for the disco challenge (Gotmik, Symone, and Kandy say hi) and she delivered every time she had to lipsync. To this day, I say that her being safe over Gotmik was just for narrative purposes. And Madonna the Rusical is soooo I C O N I C. Let's start by saying that Jan's, Gigi's, Crystal's, Jaida's and Widow's performances would've been win wothy in other seasons. Then you have Heidi, Shitty Pie and Brita, who did well enough to be high or safe, and well, then you have Jackie that did struggle... but come on, 8/9 performances being near perfection is FUCKING NUTS. S12 cast is one of the most talented casts the show EVER had, and eveytime I'm finishing watching the rusical, I feel some tears come up because you can see the girls being so proud of what they have done. AMAZING.

Maybe this is a little bit biased, but I actually really liked the Twitter solo in the social media rusical. Modern major president is just such a cool musical number and it actually fits the character pretty well

Glamazonian airways being low is insane…. This countdown is crazy

The only thing I disagree on is the 'nothing memorable' about Cher The Unortherised Rusical, Cher and roaches, cockroaches and Cher will forever be a segment my mind drifts to 🤣

Truly an amazing list and I LOVED that DRT 2 got their credit! More people need to watch it !!

The Madonna Rusical was my favorite too!

It makes me so happy that the Rusical from drag race Thailand s2 is so high on the list, the girls are incredible and so entertaining. Forever my favourite season of drag race.

The fact that Kardashians is so low is mind boggling to me…

Discovered your channel this morning and been binge watching your videos for the whole day!! Great content can't wait for more to come :)

Honestly I love the rusicals but when the actual concept is pretty weak (ie pharmarusical) it's basically doomed from the start

I think I would remember the halftime show better if the judging wasnt so bad tbh, maybe its just me but I remember the judging being rigged more than the rusical. And omg Shade the rusical and rpdr live are SO GOOD, glad to see them high up

Maxima may not be everyone's choice of rusical, but I really like it for two reasons 1. I love how Drag Race Holland just go in slagging off their own King and of course, Queen Maxima, like it's just so funny how they call their King fat and old and insinuate their Queen is with him for the power, I just find it so funny Drag Race Holland doesn't give a shit. 2. Janey Jacké. As you say, she is the Queen of the Rusical, she thinks she's a dancing queen, which she is, but she's also an actress, like her tango dancing is good, then amongst the group sections with all the other Maxima's, your eyes are on her, she was the most captivating of them all in that performance and she continued to show how good she is in West end wendys, quite literally the Meryl Streep of Rusicals.

For me Rats is my favourite rusical hands down, they commited to the concept and the live singing just made it so much better.

By the way, the España Rusical had another advantage, both Javiers (judges) are TV series producers, they wrote and produce the Rusical :) (Madonna the Rusical is my favorite forever)

Loved reliving the rusicals through this video, even as someone who's not into musicals. But I do wish we could listen to you gush for longer about why the Madonna rusical is the best. I feel like you analysed each rusical so well but then you rushed through the last and best one.

Tbh I think the Maxima Rusical is by far my favourite. It’s just that you have to know a lot about Maxima

The Vegas RuSical in S12.. AMAZING! I still frequently listen to the track, so beautiful. Gigi's verses, amazing.

S12 having both of its rusical in the top 5 is just a reminder of how excellent the s12 cast is. And those are 2 of my favorite rusicals plus s9 bitch perfect. I have to watch the Thai s2 rusical!

DIPTHERIAAAA… oops LOL Ginny had me dying in Rats 💀

I’m so glad that you put Thailand Season 2’s Rusical at the top 4 spot. It was pretty freaking amazing.

Honestly, the Jamal-Luciene combination for rusical is top tier

The fact that Madonna the rusical made me a Maddona stan is testament to how good it was

Madonna Rusical is my favorite as well. I know it by heart at this point hahaha but I love the Vegas medley so much, I never saw it as a rusical but it makes sense. overall s12 was awesome performance wise

I knowits not 100% on topic, and Ill comment again when Im at the end, but omg the QUALITY of your audio now!! Its so truly amazing! What mic are you using?

Oh we're eating GOOD today

you uploaded this the day I saw the madonna rusical episode with my bf lol. Ive seen it alredy, but it was new for him. He loved it.

22:18 unpopular opinion I think TKB’s Beyonce was so good that even with runway in consideration Trinity deserved the win. Production just wanted to play out the storyline of not giving Jan a win for a bit and finally giving her one for all the Jan Stan’s. They realized this might be one of the last places they could give Jan a win so they threw it to her instead of Trinity.

You stating “my quality has improved my videos have improved” we love a humble king who also recognizes their talent and growth

under the big top is my favourite because of the rollercoaster it takes you on

yall can rank however you want but you can't deny the power of the queen of vocals and music theater 💫EVE💫

omg hearing "togetetoduhotherJOKES" when it came up to #11 made me spit out my water the trio going on stage and immediately being out of breath fucking kills me every time

I'm sure you already know, but DRES' musical "La Llamadrag" is actually based in the "La llamada" musical and the movie of the musical, which is why it feels like an actual musical! In English it's called Holy Camp! and iirc it's on Netflix.

Your videos are so good and youve really come so far. Love this list. Also, in Glamazonian Airways there are those screaming moments that I absolutely hated.

The Dance to the Maxima song gets stuck in my head every time I remember that rusical

SOLID RANKING ur just the best drag race utuber like ur perspective and respect toward the queens is IMMACULATE we stan

I'm sorry but Kylie as Steven Tyler is fucking iconic and she deserved a high placement for it

So happy You put España S2 in the top 10

The Madonna Rusical is on a whole other plane of existence. I’ve watched the dress rehearsal video for it so many times.

season 12 is iconic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for at least including the Philippines.

Only 11th place for Under the Big Top is outrageous.

the first rusical i watched was the madonna one so i had such high expectations for the rest 😭

TKB should've won that episode even with the runway taken into consideration. Jan emulated Lady Gaga very well, but TKB not only emulated Beyonce, she WAS Beyonce.

I love rats, it helps that I love the cast so much too

"Babe, wake up JackFed just posted"

My top 5: 1. Under the big top 2. Rats 3. Shade 4. Madonna 5. Herstory (I haven't seen any of the non-English musicals, but I'm sure they're amazing!!)

Under the big top was kind of a mess but Synthia and Pythia’s performances were my favorite in any Rusical EVER!

Maddona did deserve to win so bad I cant even describe it-

You Glamazonian Airways, Glamazonian Airways was 23rd in the ranking. I could not believe it...

When I saw the Spain one I was like: "wow, that's a real musical".

Sir. You cannot seriously say “they were given the historical figure who best suited them” when Katya wasn’t the only Russian available and was directed to park and bark in spite of being one of the most skilled and flexible dancers of the cast. Also. PharmaRusical 4 lyfe.

Guuuurl, Rafaella Carra the Rusical is such a great moment for hispanoamericans and italians. Farida and Divinity slayed!

The only reason I come back to Cher the rusical is miz cracker, she really went for it and had a great time as Cher and do super well, I think she should of won over kameron, also her runway look was more fun than just pretty Also i listen to losing is the new winning ( top 4 edited ) all the time because its just so fun!

Under the big top and rats are so good

we have to admit that Lairy Poppins from UK series 4 is #1 now

I went to Argentina to meet my actual bf, and everytime we were in a house of one of his friends and we were watching the TV I always put the Madonna Rusical and they got so into it that all of them started watching drag race haha

Ginny, Tia and Veronica ATE that musical.

the real question is though, where does the newest Rusical place on this list. Cuz honestly, I might put season 15's at the top.

I mostly agree with you but seriously, Glamazonian Airways is one of the BEST ever!

YESS justice for the vegas musical! it always makes me cry and i am not ashamed of that anymoreeeeee

princess diana absolutely did not fit katya best, she was 100% set up to fail in that episode

Synthia Kiss’s opening to Under the Big stop, Canada 2 is all I’m saying. No one comes close to her singing 🙌🏼🙌🏼

This is literally my favorite KZfaq channel 😭😭

Man I'm In love with Canada's Drag Race AND Drag Race España..this had being epic Seasons. Man they are so epic.
