Alyssa Edwards has cemented her status as a RuPaul’s Drag Race classic with her memorable “Shut Up and Drive” lip-sync on All Stars 2 and her spectacular Season 5 debut. Let’s go down memory lane with the queen herself as she gets ready to participate in Global All Stars, reliving some of her funniest and most unforgettable moments.
Season 5: Plenty of Drama with a Hint of Orange
In Season 5, Alyssa made a splash as she was “dropped into a 30-foot-deep pool for a photoshoot.” The real drama, though, started when she competed against Coco Montrese, her erstwhile adversary in pageants. Fans still adore their epic Werk Room battle, which was sparked by Alyssa’s famed “Look how orange you f***ing look” statement. Alyssa insists that despite the conflict, their bond has always been similar to that of “sisters from another mister.”
Battles in the Snatch Game and a RuPaulogy for Katy Perry
There were also some less-than-fantastic moments during Alyssa’s Season 5 tenure, most notably her terrible imitation of Katy Perry in Snatch Game. Alyssa now laughs as she remembers the funny apology she made to Perry on social media as a result of her failure to capture the essence of the pop artist.
‘Doo-Wah’ to a Second Chance in All-Stars 2
In All Stars 2, Alyssa made a triumphant return to the competition, eager to display her development and polished drag. But as her hilarious “doo-wah” gaffe during the “Drag Movie Shequels” challenge showed, some things never change. When Alyssa was granted another opportunity to compete, her tenacity was evident despite the misstep.
Taking on Phi Phi and Creating an Everlasting Lip-Sync
A tense encounter with Phi Phi O’Hara, who had been disparaging Alyssa behind her back, heralded her All-Stars 2 comeback. The tension reached a fever pitch when Alyssa and Tatianna, who were both dressed remarkably alike, engaged in an epic lip-sync battle. Due to the strength of their “Shut Up and Drive” performance, RuPaul chose to retain both queens, which resulted in Phi Phi’s historic elimination.
Global All-Stars: Establishing a Legacy
For Global All Stars, Alyssa is back and ready to demonstrate that “the old broom still sweeps, mops, and vacuums.” She is here to cement her legacy and provide even more remarkable moments, not only to vie for another crown. With her unmistakable talent, wit, and fortitude, Alyssa Edwards is guaranteed to offer another exciting journey on the Drag Race stage.
