Queen of firsts.
First queen to write a lip stick mirror message.
First queen to compete twice.
First queen to do a death drop.

@@jamesbill7983 That would be Courtney Act actually. Now she is the first queen on the American version of the show. However, Courtney Act did it years before in Australia.
@@Jordi6304 I think they meant more that she was the first queen to compete in multiple seasons. 🙂
Ru saying “I have a feeling we haven’t seen the last of you yet” was the biggest understatement ever
@@G.tuness Shangela first appeared on season 2 of drag race, went home first. Appeared again on season 3 and fought HARD, but still lost. Then appeared again on season 4 but as a gag and didn’t compete. And AGAIN on All Stars 2 disguised as Jujubee during All Stars 2 Snatch Game and finally on All Stars 3 as a competitor and got top 4 but still lost
@@brokenalex3304 I truly thought that Shangie would win but I’m still happy for Trixie
@@beckygooch5065 I love that theory but will she ever come back again to finally win? 😂
Not including Shangela being the first to write a lipstick message was a choice
Guurrll, it’s still almost an hour of Shangela. It’s a small choice at that point gurl
If anyone is wondering, her lipstick message was: "Love you all. Turn it out... Shangela "DJ"
Mimi saying the lip sync is “starting to get a little violent” has to be the most hilarious thing in retrospect🤣🤣
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but...
In all fairness to Mimi, she was asked to do what she normally does at her shows...specifically picking people up. Production was just sweet enough to leave that part of it out. Kinda like the thing with Max. 😒
The S H A D E of it ALL!!! 🤭
@@bloodysweetzombiegirl she had already done it, they just asked her to do it again so they would get a better shot
@@bloodysweetzombiegirl yes! People seem to conveniently forget this! And venus was much more violent than mimi. One picked one up sure, the other was deadass wanting to street fight her. They did mimi so dirty. It was like when they asked max to sing a song on stage when she felt faint. And then editing it to make her seem like she went insane. Mimi has done some bad things but that moment ruined her career. She was seen as a joke and super violent since then. Look at how they treated her in all stars. It was bullying for no reason. I felt so bad for her.
@@carlosdiazrojas287 They aren’t but it’s a known fact producers asked her to do it. Again, they even made them do it again to get a better shot.
I love how Shangela’s and Ben de la Creme’s lip sync battles are more of a collaboration. Instead of being pushy or blocking the view, they worked off each other like improv.
Agreed; they fed off the vibes and positive energy each were giving out. And unlike some lip syncs (Mimi Imfurst), they didn't try to get physical with each other, unless you count DeLa VIOLENTLY flirting with Shangela during "I Kissed A Girl".
the final of all stars 3 was the coronation of shangela in our hearts, even without the crown
Shangela is the DEFINITION of a drag race success story.
“Never listen to the haters. Be a pro. Cuz I worked my way, paid my dues, now I got the whole screamin’ ‘Halleloo’”! That line hits hard. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I loved how Alexis went to "She already had her moment of glory." and being bothered by Shangela to literally kissing her on the forehead and almost crying when she left.
No one liked Shangela then, Alexis and Yara were much kinder, tho shady, kinder than the others.
I am the BIGGEST Trixie fan, for real, but Shangela deserved the crown 100%, no tea no shade just reality. Trixie is incredibly talented but Shangela's talent and her GROWTH is something else
Yea Shangela was so strong in her season of All Stars, we need that girl back a 4th time so she can actually WIN like she deserves
Tbh, the show is highly bias from the beginning. Gave Stevie to Thorgy and gave Mariah full of joke to Shangela. No wonder why the girls didn’t pick her.
Absolutely. Poor Shangela was robbed of her opportunity to lipsync for their legacy.
I know it’s not totally to do with Shangela, but the heartbreak in Sahara’s eyes when she realised she sent Shangela home.
I live how in season 4 everybody “complaining” about how Shangela could be the 14th queen. Meanwhile Willam goes out of her way to give her a high five. Icons welcoming icons
She was like. “Hey bitch here’s a hi five for when we are both in a Lady Gaga movie together 6 years down the line”
Willam and Shangela I love them soooo MUCH definitely my top 2 Ru Girls
Yara and Alexis helping Shangie with her make up was so cute
@@Fee212 I mean she literally created tours and bookings for many queens in the early seasons before Voss events was a thing. So she was literally helping people get paid but go off sis.
@@Fee212 it doesn't need to be seen on tv or news when she was gonna helped her fellow queens
If you haven't seen or heard of her helping queens on tv or new or whatevah doesn't mean shes not helping the queens.
I mean it’s a big compliment to have RuPaul herself bring you back on the show she must’ve adored shangela
THE queen, she's living proof that you don't need a crown to be a winner.
The fact that they didn’t include Shangela’s plan to force Carmen to pick reggae, literally the moment I fell in love with her
I agree on this! She was a master manipulator during that episode. Hahaha.
The Force is strong with that one! She totally Jedi mind tricked Carmen into taking reggae.
she DEVOURED all stars, that final scene always makes me cry. she worked twice as hard and put in twice as much heart, and got no reward. truly an all star.
The jury system pissed me off..... Shangela should have been in the final 2 with Trixie. I HAPPILY would have taken a double crowning
@@fnafsummoners5679 right I genuinely feel she would have won I hate how the jury had to decide. They were haters idc
@@Marcus-ul9zx they were all bitter that shangela beat them. Which, I don't understand. If anything, I think I'd be hella impressed Shangela went from a first out Queen, to a top six queen, to the top 4 in an all star season AND was slaying the competition with BenDelaCreme! But nope. Let's be bitter :/
@@fnafsummoners5679 If you think about that could have been why they were so bitter , she started with no experience at all . Each time she came back she got better , I think they saw that as a way of her not deserving it due to experience because most of them had done it for years. Like you said they should have been applauding her and how quickly she grasped things but they was just mad and bitter
@@Marcus-ul9zx i think what kills me the most is that Thorgy was the ONLY vote Shangela got to be in top 2.... Hopefully Shangela will give it one more shot but time will tell
And years later she's in a film next to Gaga and Bradley Cooper. She has achieved so much even without the crown
Shangela is like the glitter of Drag Race: You think she's gone but then she comes back up yellin' Halleloo and making Drag Race fabulous again!
how could they forget to include shangela writing the first lip stick message? that's an important part of herstery.
Mimi: The lip-syncing is starting to get a little violent...
Also, Mimi: *Literally picks up and carries India Ferrah*
Shanglea looked really upset after that lipsync she even was gracious enough to try and give her a hug after but was turned down wow
@@jent6711 Oh that one... yeahhhh. I am happy shangela won but ooof Ven D-Lite I feel bad for you gurll.
Shangela, like Alyssa, is a True Star! It can't be faked, it can't be forced, it's either there or its not. It's innate. That's why crowns and awards rarely mean anything real, those are all very subjective to who's doing the choosing. Most of the "losers" on shows are the ones who end up being more successful than the "winners" anyway. I've learned this even in my own life, when you know you have a special light inside you, hold onto it no matter what.
Shangela, one of the few queens who did not need production pushing her to the top by giving her unnecessary wins or saving her from bottoms 2. That is why she is so loved. Production needs to keep this in mind. We are not blind!
@@antekaniol9406 well they did a Ball when she sucked in every Design Challenge in herstory. Doesn’t sound like a set up for success.
@@Discretion234 they gave her the role of Mariah which had a whole script when other queens had regular RuPaul lyrics
@@antekaniol9406 You can say that but still she had no challenges were she fell short and was saved from it due to favouritism. All that, because she is actually very talented.
I love Trixie, but FFS Shangela SHOULD HAVE WON ALL STARS. She was a million levels above all of the others.
No. Trixie was superior throughout, when you look at each individual performance. Shangela does better in the Snatch Game and in Hey Kitty Girl, but Trixie was better than her on every single runway, and all the other challenges.
Trixie and Ben tie for number 1, and Shangela is number 3.
@@elizimmer3838 on which planet exactly? in the professional expert opinion of a renowned… trixie mattel fan? trixie agreed shangela should have won, the judges certainly agreed, shangela and ben were in a league of their own this season, bebe woulda been third and trixie fourth, nowhere near first.
@@elizimmer3838 Trixie had 2 TOP2 placements, no wins. Shangela had 3 wins. It's not that hard to say who did the best.
14:46 Seeing Alexis & Yara schooling Shangela on makeup is everything 😂💄💕
Sometimes I miss the rawness of seasons 1 - 3. Stuff like them having different outfits and hairdos/haircuts in the confessionals, them not having a set placements on stage, Rupaul commenting after a lip-sync, stuff like that. I also loved seeing how Yara and Alexis were teaching Shangie how to properly do her make-up.
If only the footage were more crisp and all that, it's insane to think that in 2011 we didn't had a 1080p footage without distortions in the image. Because it wasn't THAT long of a time, just ten years! XD
I totally agree. Like there was no expectation for fame, catch phrases, gifs.. it was just so real. Now they all come in knowing they’ve all made it so they hardly work that hard anymore.
I remember being so mad at the jury for letting their feelings towards Shangela cloud their judgement. They all KNOW she should’ve been in the top 2 and won the crown. She deserved it and proved it to them and to everybody who watched. Such a rising star. ❤️
Some of the queens said production had a heavy hand in that season and the performances they saw were not what we saw.
I remember when this happened and was like really she deserves it and she is better than all the rest. The only reason they did not vote for her because they knew she would of won and plus they did not like her cause of her raw talent in my opinion. Shangela in my opinion won all star period.
@@AnimeFreak-dn6zt bendalacreme should have won but him and shangela should be in top two
1:00 sahara's response to her shantay then suddenly becoming sad upon knowing shangela's gonna get sashayed away always makes me cackle! we miss you sahara davenport
The true winner of all stars, I don’t care what anyone says. She had full circle moment, but crown or no crown, she has been so successful and so well deserved!!
@@Enchantix00Sasori Dela eliminated herself and that was her choice, so she isn’t the true winner. Honestly, I love Trixie so so much and I’m happy she has a crown, but it should’ve been Shangela’s. That twist was such bullshit.
That said, if Dela had stayed she would’ve 100% undeniably won lmao
funny how mimi was saying that venus was being physical and violent.
I know, right???? When she said that I immediately said “guuuurl” 😂😂😂😂
Not everyone can do it like Shangela. A true legend of drag
I will always love how shocked Trixie is when her name got called and not Shangelas.
You know she thought that was a gag. 😆
They really didn’t put that " I don’t have a sugar daddy " untuck ???
Very homophobic
If they wanted to put it, they could go out and put it in but they are what? Homophobic!
To quote Thorgy:
“Oh work bitch”
12:30 Her grandma unfortunately passed away a few days ago, Rest in Peace Grangela 😭❤🕊
Not Michelle being shocked at a death drop, I believe she was the 1st to do so On the show 🥰
No at earlier episodes shangy lipsynced and did a deathdrop and Michelle was looking directly at shangy but her lipsync with carmen her death drop was more intense
Those lipsyncs between shangela and Ben are so underated it hurts
De LA just gave in to mimic because he couldnt keep up. Then upped his game for later face offs with Shang
The thing about Shangela in Season 3 is that her personality and natural charisma were already there, and she was already excelling in challenges that required natural humour or personality. She was already the Shangela that she is today, it just took a while for the make-up and fashion to catch up.
When Yara Sofia and Alexis Mateo were telling Shangela how to use make up though 😭❤️
“Shangela, Alexis, condragulations”
I’m dying, the Mimi’s face, she looks so pissed
Shangela is a true definition of a DRAG RACE ROYALTY EVOLUTION.
Truly a Drag Race Royalty and Legend.
Not enough people talking about the fact that HER DRESS HAS POCKETS
Shangela is a Example of Drag Excellence, She is Considered one of the Gods of Drag, My Respect for Thorgy is so High for atleast picking Shangela, Shangela will always be The Top Robbed Queen
I love Shangela so much! She's beyond genuine and it makes me sad af seeing her cry when they eliminated her. The sadness in her eyes knowing she didn't get picked to be in the top 2 breaks my heart; she worked so hard and came so damn far.. I'm sorry, but she should've won all stars 3.
I said what I said.
Shangela's shoe flying off into the ether during her lip-sync with Venus always sends me 🤣
Shangela and Monique queens of having talent and just needing money
And when they got the money, they slayed AllStars 3 & 4 respectively. They were baby drag queens on their seasons too as Shangela only been doing it under 2 years her run on S3 & Monique about the same time of under 2 years as well on S10
@@hannahzeplin2794 I love both of them, they are the definition of charisma, uniqueness and talent!!
@@hannahzeplin2794 but Monique lost in her season rightfully to Trinity (and Monet) by being statistically worse, whereas Shangela had the best track record (besides Dela) and runway in her AS season plus destroying Trixie in a lip sync but still lost, this makes her case even more unfair :/
“I thought her name was Angela and someone was telling her to shut up” she is an icon
She’s one of my faves. She was a newbie and willing to take criticism. I adore her.
I cannot believe that I cried during the final chorus of kitty girl. Her growth from 0 to stellar is a story that will be forever in our hearts.
Shangela is one of those queens that don't need a crown to be a winner, she's a winner at life
yep. her and Alyssa are imo the two biggest winners without a crown of RPDR.
also Bendela and Juju.
@@charliez077 let's make a hall of fame for our alternate queens. Raven, Katya, Alyssa, Bendela, Shangela, Manila, Monique, Jujubee, Miz Cracker, Raja, Ginger, Eureka
Ladies and gentlemen this is the moment you all have been waiting for
@@SymoneTheDon if season 3 were to air now, Raja, Delta, Manila and Carmen would've receive a lot of hate
Her smile is genuine. Just her aura makes the world a better place! And boy Shangela is just cute as a button too! ❤
Her corn look is beyond stunning that wig reveal 😭💕
Shangela vs Venus: still the messiest lip synch in all of Drag Race Herstory 😂
@@Ezzie__ Your opinion. I think Alaska's harassments in the lip syncs from All Stars 2 are far worse than anything Venus did; and Mimi was absurdly out of place since the beginning of the lip sync.
I love Trixie, but everybody knows that SHANGELA was ROBBED and this pissed me off!!!! Trixie deserves to be an All Stars winner, but I guess if Shangela had a lip sync against her, definitely she would be the winner. She IS a winner in my heart, because in fact, Shangela nailed this competition! I'm a brazilian fan. Love U Shangela from the bottom of my heart, werk girl!!!!
For context for others...They did lip sync against one another before and Shang won that round ( the fat suit lip sync). A final lip sync Shang would've won.
Well Trix WAS expecting Shangela to be called and not her. The shock says it all.
You don't love her, you couldn't say that mess imo! 🤦🏻♀️🙄Trixie is top notch, style, comedic gifts, personality, buisness minded, smarts in general , etc She & Katya too ARE the whole package. She is one of the most successful drag artists to come from this show & Def worth millions now. I legit got goosebumps when she was crowned on All Stars 3,she deserved every bit of it if ya ask me. Shangie is epic too, of course but she's still no Trixie!
Watching this after RuPaul herself said Shangela deserves a crown 👑💖🥹
WHERE IS THE LIES?! LIKE, TELL ME, WHERE ARE THE LIES *gets Ru's Opera glasses* WHERE THE LIES AT?!?
Shangela performed the strongest standup routine in Drag Race history.
The moment she tagged herself as the Danearys Targaryen of drag, her fate for the crown was sealed.
@@a.s.03 Me too. I didn't care for her in AS3 and Season 3.
But I think she deserved to win AS3 even more than Dela.
@@ashishsingh4867 Dela slayed so hard but unfortunately quit on her own terms. Shangela slayed but also struggled sometimes. I also think that if she had won, her story arc on drag race would have been picture perfect. She is one of my faves from the entire series tbh. I love her drive towards drag, and her family is so cute.
Anytime I watch anything about Shangela my husband (sarcastically) says, "But Shangela was robbed!" and I reply, "You goddamn right, and don't you forget it!"
Shangie, Juju, and Manila= The queens without crowns
Hearing Sahara say "I'm glad I survived" is a bit gut wrenching
We need a Sahara Davenport best of video. Let the children today know how fierce she was!
Caleb Ennos yes! She was so special, they should for sure make a video in her memory. It would be great if they could collect other interviews. I think if Sahara was still here, I think she’d be on All Stars at some point and gain a new following. Sahara had a special and unique drag tbh oh and she could dáncese
She was a classically trained dancer
I can't stop laughing at the girls' reaction when Venus D-lite throws her ponytail to the back of the stage lmao
She’s the definition of an All-Star. She evolved more than the other girls in my opinion.
Her not making the finale is one of the biggest reasons they never did the Jury twist again I believe. It was completely unfair that she dominated the competition and didn't get her deserved spot in the finale because of a bitter jury. I'm very happy they only did this twist once and I hope that it is never brought back again.
Edit: And if they ever did decide to do it again, at least announce the twist at the beginning of the competition so maybe the queens can strategize a little better, sort of like Survivor.
She said she was the Daenerys Targaryen of All Stars... and then proceeded to get taken out right before she could get the crown... accurate 😂😂😂
D&D ruined the show for me, especially by completely changing Daenerys’ arc by being the “mad queen” in literally one of the last few episodes; ITS SO ANGERING
@@Ariuhna lmao Daenerys was the mad queen right from the start - she let her husband brutally murder her brother in front of her eyes, she burnt countless people to death, anyone who was disagreeing with her she would intimidate or destroy if necessary, y'all just didn't want to see it
@@itsdannyhoney the problem isn’t so much her going “mad” it’s how fast it happened. Yes there were signs, there were hints and foreshadowing, but is that character development? No. You don’t go from specifically not attacking KL in s7 because of the innocents to burning it down in s8 overnight. I’m fine with her going mad but it needed to be more dragged out and a slower process where you could really see it happen, especially for those who didn’t pick up on the “hints” or read the books. If it went on for a larger period of time (over several seasons) it would feel far more believable and not have the criticism and hate it receives, at least not to this degree. There was a lot wrong with season 8, this was one of those things.
What a Full Circle moment it would have been if she got crowned in AllStars 3.
Everyone always talks about how Shangela got robbed but so did Bebe. My girls were top 2 contenders but lost because the other queens felt bad about Kennedy and Trixie Wtf
She would have been if the eliminated queens hadn't screwed her over. The fact that only Thorgy voted for her when Shangela is the one that sent her home...
@@lizyanne6681 THIS. I really hate the way the production handled that finale omg
she’s started so many trends on a national level for one singular person and it’s amazing
Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that Aja and Chi Chi were singing to each other in the background during Shangela and Dela’s lipsynic of jump RIP Chi Chi
Shangela is the epitome of being a winner without a crown. Amazing!
As Manila and Raja said in a Fashion Photo Ruview "She doesn't need one anyway cause she is Sickning"
@@kareemgriffin7835 this is about shangela how about we don’t bring down trixie right now
The fact that we didn't get the SUGADADDY scene is a crime
When she didn’t make it to the top 2, that was the first time I cried watching drag race. A truly robbed queen
Michelle Visage's reaction though when Shangela did a death drop 💀
In Monique Hearts Voice: “THE MOMENT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOORRRRR!!”
That part where she asks monet if you're supposed to paint up and down or side to side and monet says up and down but didn't listen and starts painting side to side anyway 😂
Ru: I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of you yet.
I don't think Ru could of ever guessed how popular Shangela would become.
Shangela has always been one of my favorite queens. She is a pure joy to watch, and her smile is so bright and genuine it can be seen from space. She has so much heart, and puts it all out there.
UA-cam: How many Best of Shangela moments do you want?
Drag Race: Yes
I just realized that shangela was on drag race when drag was still a contact sport
She may have always walked away without the crown and just her corn..but she made it bigger than some winning queens and knew how to spin her exposure in the right direction! You go girl!
Mimi: “the lip-sync is starting to get violent”
Well that didn’t age well...
Yara and Alexis giving Shangie makeup pointers gives me the warm and fuzzies and yes I know there's an ointment for that
I love how shangela must have watched the whole game of thrones series before All stars
The Shangela and Trixie lip sync has to be the FUNNIEST and most entertaining lip sync battle the show has ever aired!
Shangie is a legend-she’s like the the poster child for success regardless of the crown
Hall👏🏼ley👏🏼loooooooo👏🏼
queens that should be next in these compilations:
- shea coulee
- bianca del rio
- aquaria
- jaida essence hall
FOR ME, Aquaria and Jaida are not on the level of Shangela, Juju, Bob and Bianca. I'd rather have one of BendelaChrist.
Honestly, I think they should maybe focus on more underrated queens like Sonique, Shuga Cain, Trinity K. Bonet, Monique Heart, Alexis Mateo, Akeria Davenport, Asia O'Hara, Mrs. Kasha Davis, and Jaidynn Dior Fierce just to name a few.
@@blkmaverick03 yes i think so as well. i didn’t put everyone that i would like to see just a few, i would love to see underrated queens

Shangela
Personification of hard work, dedication, charisma and realness
Shangela did not wing Drag Race, but she definitely out here being booked and busy.
Gaining that much prosperity, fan love, and job security is a crown on its own. She don’t need the other crown- she got the best reward of all. Love love LOVE my Texas sister. 💞💞💞
The Shangela and Dela lipsincs are everything
Halleloo is my new word. He said his grandmother is his biggest supporter. His impersonations are priceless.
Shangela is my favorite queen of ALL TIME! I've been watching since season 1, since I was 12 years old, and there is no queen like Shangela!!! She has such a beautiful spirit, her personality is everything and she's freaking stunning!!! Shangela is the best!
Now I get why she is the danaerys Targaryen of Drag Race, We all thought she was going to be the queen but then her allies turns her down. I was enjoying the entire Compilation but I immediately felt sad at 47:26. She deserves so much more.
The fact that they didn’t include the Nancy drew parts. Also, the part when she tricked Carmen into picking the reggae genre of music so that she was left with her first pick. Icon.
That freaky money performance is iconic! Work!
BRING her back! She's my favorite queen ever. Talented, funny and down to earth! I love her soooo much!!!
Not including the sugar daddy moment is homophobic!
