This is even more powerful knowing that the green suit she's wearing belonged to her mother, and Sasha took it after she died. Go read Sasha's comic "What Now?". Absolutely one of the most moving works of art I've ever seen.
Sasha Velour, I love you so so much.
Emmy Lennon- Wow, thank you for that reference. Reading that was very cathartic for me. I needed to hear those words to begin my healing process.
Thank you so much for this info I was asking myself where does her art and thinking come from 😍😭
I'd love to read that but i can't find it anywhere 😭😭 if u could give more details it'd be wonderful
such an emotional performance, even more moving knowing those are her mother's clothes.
my favourite queen of season 9 by far
Craig Maxwell congratulations good 4 u!
This is heartbreaking. His mom, his queen, and the pain lingers in spite of the beauty. So many memories, and he holds them close to his heart. Sasha is her mom's queen.
I've always wanted to see a queen do Kate Bush. This is amazing.
Days ago I found Lady Bunny singing Wuthering Heights! haha
Hope McLaren Seriously, "Running Up that Road" would be a perfect lip sync song.
She did another performance where she lipsynced to Wuthering heights as gollum lmao it was pretty good
Justice J. Srisuk Running up that hill is the name of the song...
Sasha transcended drag long ago...the angels of art and music use her now. How lucky we are.
'Give me these moments, back. Give them back - to me' when I hear that line I think how those words must feel knowing Sasha lost her mother to cancer. What a beautiful performance
Loving all of these beautiful pieces! Read a comment on a photo on Facebook about your "Nightgown" performances and followed my nose to a beautiful UA-cam hole of your art! xxx
Hi Courtney! Nice to see your comments floating around! Aren' t Sasha's performances incredible?
oh, why hello there miss courtney act
This is incredibly good work. Takes a lot of love and technical prowess to make this kind of thing go round.
I'm a live video projection artist and I feel the coordination of this woman's work, big time (sorry if that is a cheesy pun but I couldn't help it).
The choice of song is spellbinding in and of itself.
Sending big ups and respect for this.
Carrie Gates are
:) oh hi
yes... I'm showing up and loving after I've sen the new cast, but I'm looking up everyone.... then, i see Sasha Velour... and i stop looking up everyone else. She's the one, she's my favorite for this season, and based of what I'm seeing here... she's gonna be an all time favorite... i just hope they don't give her a bad edit or story...
I am literally bawling my eyes out! I'm so sad that I didn't know of Sasha before Drag Race, I'm so sad that I didn't know of Drag before August so that I could've found this sooner, and I'm so sad that I haven't been able to have seen Sasha perform live before. Art is meant to make you feel something and this did. I don't know how anybody could say that this isn't art or that Sasha isn't creative or smart, because she is. When I see videos of her performing, they take my breathe away and I don't want them to end; her performances seem to end so soon and I wish they wouldn't. I hope that I will be able to see Sasha live when she comes to my city near the end of the month.
High Art, Highly Conceptual, Highly Emotional.
Absolutely stunning and beautiful.
This is incredibly haunting, what a performance, you've got talent coming out of every pore.
I think she's telling us she won season 9 everyone.
I would like that, but I am not expecting this... You know Ru has his little favs always... i wont shea who he favours...
She's probably signalling Top 3, but remember that the actual crowning is filmed live at the end of the season - with 3 different outcomes, so there's no actual spoilers from the audience. But, SHE BETTER WIN!
Paul V. AND SHE DID!!!!
The prophecy has come to pass :D
foreshadowing done to a t😂
The fact that you chose this song shows just how unique and brilliant you are. Kate Bush is a genius at convey very real, brutal emotion... And your performance here did that so much justice. Beautiful.
Now THIS BITCH KNOWS HOW TO ENTERTAIN this is such a creative way to preform, at first you think you're going to an art museum and then BAM bad bitch lanes here
One of the best drag perfomancesI have seen, and I have seen a lot!!!!
fuck knowing how recently her mom died just made this go from moving to straight up I am in tears
My favourite Drag Queen doing my favourite song by my favourite artist... I'm in heaven
Who'd thought a drag performance could bring me to tears.
I love Sasha. She just seems so beautiful - inside and out. And she's lip-syncing my favourite songs.
Sasha, you are a living artwork. Not just as a drag queen, but as a person. I admire you.
Lots of love from Poland.
KATE BUSH!!! I LIVE!
this is magical
holy. shit. QUEEN.
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, omg this gave so much life.
The way she looks up at the same time as the piano chords
I aways find myself coming back to Sasha's art, but this one is simply transcendent. What makes this whole performance all the more powerful is that Kate Bush wrote this song about a woman's experience during stillbirth. I can't unsee this: when Sasha crosses her arms, the gloves give an illusion of a large, warm heart in her centre where her child is inside her; then the red hands start beating like a pulsing heart, as all the flashes tell of how life flashes before your eyes; then, at the end of the piece, while the projection crosses two hands, you get the silhouette slashing Sasha's body, leaving scars and shadows where the "heart" was sitting as finally the two hands let go. Art should be subjective, and those images shook me down. Sasha is the queen.
She really honored the song. Beautiful dramatic performance and covering one of my favorite artists ever!
here I am watching this video again and LIVING
Oh she's a winner, baby.
This song is so beautiful. For years, I always associated it with that heavy scene in the movie "She's Having a Baby". From the moment I saw this performance, I have only associated the song to it. So moving to watch her do this. Amazing to keep a visual image of a song in your mind for so long, then to have it completely replaced by someone's interpretation of it after only one viewing. Completely awed by her.
goosebumps.
This is what I call creativity and artistry, this is beyond a simple performance, well thought out and one of a kind. Love 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh!. Was i the only one that almost cry?!. DAMN beautiful!!..
So beautiful 😭 It's hard not to cry watching Sasha perform
Wow Sasha Velour.........tears....... Thank you for doing this beautiful performance. As an immense fan of Miss Bush this was an amazing treat. All the love...
God I love Kate Bush. My favourite Artist of all time
Mine too!
THIS PERFORMANCE is EVERYTHING!a beyond any performance so far I've seen from a queen. The visuals and overall skill is so ugh!!!! I'm so excited to see her on season9 I will say people think this is foreshadowing her winning but if you watch the performance plus take the song into consideration if it meant anything it's almost her being defeated by the hole thing and infact not winning hence the part where she takes off the crown and the lyrics of the song overall are telling a what could have been story or a missed opportunity etc and how she could of done this or that idk I'm overthinking it but if it did have a meaning behind it I think it would be just that
you know how the human body is 60% water? Well, i think Sasha's is 60% talent
thsi is still my favorite piece and what made me fall in love with sasha and her spirit and everything she stands for and i don't know why this brings me to near tears every time but here i am again aaaa she's such a force of wonder and beauty and im in awe im in fucking awe
Huge fan of Kate Bush. I never quite liked This Woman's Work, yet this performance moved me to tears. I guess I need to re-listen to it, haha.
Holy fuck. I am literally crying. Sasha is a goddess. This is some next level shit.
Still brings tears to my eyes, my favorite performance to date. 💜
Oh my god, Sasha is stunning and so refined and this performance was the best drag performance I've ever seen
In awe and in love with Sasha Velour! You are singing the two ultimate divas! Kate and Annie rock! This is talent!
I fucking live for her. I'm so excited she's on S9
I am so in awe of this talented human.
Sasha brings such originality to each performance, I always feel like I’m watching something I’ve never seen before. Thank you Sasha for your creative works. You’re so special and inclusive of all drag styles at Nightgowns. You’re THE Queen..

This is my favorite Sasha. I want more of this kind of performance, this, her Gotta Move, her incredible performances of Love Song For A Vampire and No More I Love Yous, her stellar If You Go Away. She’s always best when she puts her design brain to work along with her drag brain.
SO AWESOME...Kate would love it!!
Makes me want to cry...love this performance
Her artistry is OFF the CHAIN. Brava, Velour! Brava!
Sasha Velour is a whole other new, fresh, queen that can't be compared to anyone else right now b/c she's totally different!
