What did you think of the finale??
Marina Summers, you will always be the champion. there will never be another.
Amazing!!! I was gonna be happy with either result of the top2. If you watch the music video of gloc 9 sirena its the narration of how a normal gay boy experience has with their traditional father who tries to beat the gay out of him. Ppn captured that essence in the final lipsync. Im so sad my wednesdays are back to being boring for awhile. I hope you visit the PH on our summer months mar-may and do some RnR
Precious surely deserved the win. Marina's great, but Precious played the finale really well
Precious ate
Precious slayed!
Wasn’t sure what international audience would think about the final lip sync song, but the song is a very important song to Filipino LGBTQIA+ because it’s about a gay person being abused by their father (and others) and overcoming obstacles as a gay boy. This is why the judges were very emotional watching them so Im glad you all appreciated the performance
I'm not american, at least not from the USA, I'm from Brazil and I really liked the song. For me it was a great song to end the series.
F the international audience! This is for the Filipinos. If it's epic for Pinoys, doesn't matter how it translates to foreigners.
Agree 💯 it's like our country's born this way
As a Filipino who understands the deep meaning of the song, Precious Paula Nicole ATE THE FINAL LIPSYNC. It’s theatrical and moving.
Marina slayed and came prepared, but through the entire season, Precious brought the heart and soul of Filipino drag. She also embodied that final lipsync REALLY well and what it meant and stood for.
I am a solid Team Marina. But as someone who understood the lyrics of their Final Lipsync, PPN truly embodied and clearly won that lipsync. PPN interpreted the song very well. That’s why, even though my fav didn’t win, I’m not mad about it, because PPN truly deserves it. She ate both her lipsyncs that night. I’m also kinda happy because, Marina has a big chance of getting called for an All Stars or VS The World Season.
I want to thank you for manifesting marina on uk vs the world
When Precious pulled out that black scarf and turned it into rainbow is ICONIC. Sirena is about the struggles of gay boy. It has very deep meaning. Thats why theyre emotional when Precious did that. Her winning move.
I agree ,she killed !!
The sasha velour of it alllll
Yep. That's when I was convinced she was gonna win. I'm team Marino though.
@@karencorpus7779 ik the rainbow thing was iconic but please, nothing can compare to sasha velour let’s be honest💀
yes yes yes!!!!
That final lip sync song carries such a deep meaning especially for the lived experiences of young gay boys in the country - of being abused and battered by their masculine fathers for being too feminine. Just like what Gigi Era confessed about her childhood. Sirena is a truthful and poetic narrative of a filipino gay child’s journey that is too familiar, of being drowned to wash away their “gayness”. But the song also emphasized their resilience by liking them to a mermaid who can breathe underwater, or in this case withstand the abuse and still carry their flag (translation of the last line “bandera ko’y di tutumba”). So it really was the best song to end the series and Precious’ final reveal of the pride flag was perfectly timed, which got her that crown.
You said it all👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I love this explanation! This is ON POINT!
Well said. No more further explanation. Periodt. 👏👏
YES YES YES!!!! Precious felt the song and its lyrics!!! ❤
Thank you for explaining this, Precious is the absolute best!!!
They picked the right queen. Precious is the perfect representation of drag in PH. She has the Filipino touch in her drag. Marina is just beyond it. Marina deserves an all stars or versus the world. I love them both and any of them can definitely snatch the crown. The production just pulled off the Season 9 finale. However, if you see Precious’ performances, she’s really a force to be reckoned with.
Agree
@@renvcaraig2839 Diba bhiee? Labyu!
Nope
Sorry bebe Reign pero I have to disagree haha production did not give PPN the winner edit.
@@ersoncanlas It’s the Shea and Sasha edit. Pareho tayong fans ng Drag race dati pa, alam na natin ganap nito. Hahaha! Beyhive si PPN, plus points. 😂
I was Team Marina from day one! Putting my bias aside, I truly think Precious ate the finale up. She looked the best she’s ever looked this whole season in that finale and preformed down. I’ve heard she’s a legend in the Philippines, they have their own club nights dedicated to Precious to celebrate her. Also heard she is close to Mama Pao so many people are claiming it was rigged. Overall she won my heart and I’m happy for her. I think she’s been doing drag for over 16(?) years and Marina is only 3(?) years in so she’ll blossom even more than what we saw on this season.
Hahahah, even her name Precious Paula Nicole is an approval of the host Mama Pao and the guest judge Regine which is PPN's brand in local drag.
I'm going to correct. Precious obv ate the final lypsync. She's doing drag over 12years and yea she's one of the legend here.
The part that irks me people pushing the narrative PPN was the favored winner when it wasnt it could easily be Marina too. PPN started by asking experienced queens if she could slip her number somewhere in the lineup and grew from there...she started from the bottom and even if she has recognition now as a tenured queen here she remains humble.
11 years dear not 16.
I'm not Filipino and could CLEARLY see Precious devouring all her lipsyncs. Marina ATE the first one against Xilhouete but lacked a little on the second one. PPN embodies drag, and she does it so effortlessly. Marina will surely slay in a vs. the world season.
🤭
And she sure did!
I ate this prediction up Allstars 10 next iktr
If you understood Sirena's lyrics, you'd realize that Precious had won by the conclusion of the song because she interpreted it better than Marina. In the Philippines, the term sirena, or mermaid, is frequently used as a slur against gay people. The song was intended to turn the insult into a source of empowerment. The song's final phrase translates to "I am a mermaid (gay), and they could never take my flag down no matter what." Precious is seen pulling a dark cloth and unveiling the rainbow colors underneath. It had symbolic value. That's why the judges were overcome with emotion at the end of the performance.
So this shouldve been a lip sync battle, shouldnt it?
As a Filipino, I fully agree. Precious' interpretation, especially the ending, was on the mark if one understands and knows the song.
@@andeng9614 the format has been this way for yrs despite track record people win drag race with low wins. Samples are s14 when willow pill one over lady camden who had the most wins or lawrence chaney over bimini who had more badges. Its the drag race format. Lip sync performances are their bread and butter to get income so it could have been anyones game by last episode depending on performance.
@@karencorpus7779 then explain all star 7, monet and Jinx?
@@andeng9614 Favoritism
Not the gooped and gagged looks on your faces HAHAHAHA. Thank you for sharing the journey with us Filipinos! We truly appreciated your enthusiasm with our drag culture. Congrats to PPN! Don't feel to bad for Marina, she slayed and could still slay on an American All Star or a Vs the World season.
but she should've won tho
I laughed so hard on their reactions it felt like the seconds they went still I thought I had hit paused
Love them both. Precious is a perfect embodiment of Filipino drag.
The dragshows here are getting big. We have more drag brunch and events. The hype really helped these queens get more bookings and even the other performers. Drag Den hosted by Manila Luzon is coming soon and I hope they get an even recognition.
right omggg i hope filipinos continue to support our local drag queens even if the season is now over 🤩
The Filipinos like an underdog with a heart and so it was a good win. She brought in the look,reveals, and the moves in the finale.
to echo most sentiments yes PPN is more representative of Filipino drag and she nailed that final lipsync. Apart from the well-paced dance moves that gradually upped in ante, it was super impressive that she, bar for bar, lipsynced perfectly to those rap verses (written by Gloc 9 who is know famously known for snappy lyrics). If you remember Pop Off Ate, Turing's and PPN's verses stood out as having uniquely Filipino flow, so when I saw the song choice I knew Precious was going to be in her element. Marina slayed for sure but PPN embodied the song better. That said, Marina's gonna walk out of here with a shit ton of new fans ready to buy her next single so there are no losers here.
Precious Paula Nicole’s performance was THEATRICAL. She delivers each line of this iconic LGBTQ+ song with the nuances of the lyrics. She truly deserves the win and slayed the final episode. ❤
When I saw Precious' runway looks, I said, okay she's really pulling all the stops. Then she did the lip sync and I thought she might win, and she did. I was actually thinking Marina would win prior to this episode and I wasn't really thinking of Precious as a front runner. I think Eva was a great contender for top 2 as well. And Xilhouete has become a crowd favourite, at first people were making fun of how long her monologues were, but it has become her trademark that people started to love her for it.
That final lip sync was amazing, she did great. And the song is really what describes what gay kids experience growing up in the Philippines, well, not all of course, but it's mostly those who "moved" or "acted" a certain way and get bullied or punished for "being gay".
I'm excited for the 2nd season of Drag Race PH, and I do hope they let these queens enter other franchises like vs the world or even All Stars PH (manifesting), coz I think these queens are great.
I expected Marina to win. Reading comments here and on Reddit I now understand that Precious was reacting to the lyrics of the song and this made her performance more powerful. Loved, loved, loved this season and thanks guys for sharing your reactions with us
PPN Perfectly portrayed the lipsync. Sirena in English means mermaid. Its about gay resiliency and the struggles and abuse that they encounter
Also the reason its called mermaid is because in the song the father was drowning his son in a drum of water because of being gay. Then there's a lyrics that says you will be amazed by how long I can keep my breath.
On the last part the lyrics says "I am a mermaid, no matter what they say, my flag will not fall" which is why PPN taking of the black fabric tied on his foot and turning it into a rainbow gave goosebumps.
PPN steps also mimics a lot of the lyrics where the lyrics are about playing, being soft, and feminine at the right parts of the song.
I've been to OBar where Precious, Brigiding, and Turing mostly performs and I can say it's a real fun experience. The other drag queens aree so much full of potential. Excited for Season 2.
I'm just excited that Marina get to have the opportunity to compete vs The World. She deserves worldwide recognition
I feel like foreign viewers who watch the final lipsync would think Marina did better since a lot of the moves Precious did and how they matched the message of the song would get lost in translation. Personally, I think both of them deserved to win but Precious simply gave a much stronger Finale performance! Much love to both of them and to you guys for reacting to the whole season! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Exactly my thoughts. PPN told the story of the song. That's a very strong factor for people who understand the language.
I just know drag race ph is preparing Marina Summers for 'Vs the World' season ❤️
our coping mechanism
SIRENA the final lipsync was very symbolic, I think you need to understand the lyrics for you to appreciate what Precious did. SIRENA is a rap song about growing up being gay, showing girly traits like liking girly games putting lipstick on, dancing in front of the mirror, getting beat up and still standing for who you are regardless of what your parents/society think. "Ako'y isang sirena" ("I am a mermaid" Mermaids being the symbol of being gay especially to young gay kids) "Kahit anong sabihin nila ako ay ubod ng Ganda" (Whatever they say, I know I am beautiful)
Sirena s a term used to tease Filipino Gay boys. The song is about the struggles of Filipino Gay Boy in the Philippines. Precious did some of the relatable actions/dancesteps that correlates to what reasons they might call u gay. It embodies even how many struggles we young filipinoy gay boys had in the past we keep on holding our LGBT flag. The last lyric of song said "Bandera koy di tutumba" meant out of all the hurtings I'll still hold on to who I am no matter what". Precious cloacking over herself the lgbtq+ flag with that lyric is a very emotional moment
WE DID SAW THIS COMING. IT IS THE SONG AND PRECIOUS’ REFERENCES TO THE SONG THAT WE CAN’T SIMPLY JUST PUT INTO WORDS. BUT SHE DESERVED IT AND ALMOST EVERYONE ON TWITTER AGREED!!! OUR REAL SUPERSTAR WITH A PRECIOUS HEART! ❤
They didn't understand the song, I think that's why. Marina's an amazing dancer no doubt. But Precious didn't only lip sync there, there's emotion and great interpretation of the song.
love how it’s pretty unanimous here in the Philippines that Precious won this episode. hehe.
It was sad that DanD and most of foreign viewers did not get the message and true essence of the final song because of the laguage barrier. But, it was clear that Precious ate that final lip sync without any doubt! Marina was great as well but Precious’ performance was on point, heartfelt, EVERYTHING!! She totally deserves that crown!❤❤❤
PRECIOUS PAULA KILLED THAT LIPSYNC. SHE KNEW THE MEANING OF EACH LYRIC OF THIS ICONIC SONG. SHE EMBODIED THE SONG AND SLAYED THE FINAL EPISODE.
I don’t understand why you think Marina won that final lipsync. Precious absolutely KILLED that. She told the story of the song, she was enjoying, she delivered. Marina also performed well but Precious outperformed her. Precious is a known beast on stage in bars here. She RIGHTFULLY WON. Nobody was robbed. 💅🏼💋
There are many videos of Precious’ performances here on UA-cam. Check it out. I’ve seen her live a few times. I expected she would eat any lipsync performance.
I'M A MARINA STAN TOO BUT HEAR A FILIPINO VIEWER OUT...
As much as I want Marina to win because of her track record, Precious Paula Nicole has the mainstream appeal. Marina may be the fans' pick to win but the impersonation element of Drag can penetrate the mainstream audience more. And Precious, being one of the most renowned Regine Velasquez impersonator, could contribute a lot in bringing drag culture into the mainstream.
Second, Marina's packaging is very foreign to me--the reason why Turing won in the 3rd episode over her. It may be argued that Marina has better lyrics, technically, than Turing but Turing's lines feel and sound more Filipino. Marina's foreign appeal was very very evident throughout the season.
Lastly, I realized that Marina's storyline of being a prodigal daughter to Xilhouette challenged the social constructs within Filipino culture. In contrast, the show presented Precious as the family-oriented queen. Not that it matters cause I'm probably just overanalyzing these things but in the Philippines, it is very usual for a reality show winner to cater to Filipino values. Also, Marina's storyline ended when she lipsynced against Xilhouette. The same way Monet's storyline ended when she lipsynced against Trinity in AS7 finale.
I'm just really sad cause our first queen are getting a lot of flak from foreign viewers on Instagram. I didn't expect that there would be a time when a Filipino queen would be at the receiving end of this kind of toxicity.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR WATCHING DRAG RACE PHILIPPINES! THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING THE TALENT OF OUR QUEENS! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO CONQUER THE WORLD STAGE ❤💙💛 MARAMING SALAMAT!
That doesn't make sense. Marina has the most fans, popularity = mainstream, in that sense Marina would have been the better win. So, that reasoning isn't valid. Actually, I think that is the reason that production/Mawma Pao didn't want Marina to win bc they want her to be the Philippines representative in international Drag Race competitions (like vs. the world).
Not mad at PPN's win though bc she did better in the finale and she's a sweetheart.
@@josereyes-fd1qp When I say mainstream, I am pertaining to those who are not really watching Drag Race. Marina is probably the fans' pick to win; that's very evident in her social media engagements. But due to Precious's Regine impersonation, she could reach a larger audience spectrum in the Philippines. I think the producers' priority for season 1 is to appease with the Filipino masses instead of pursuing the avid fans.
@@quinzel3237 I get that bc I know that in the Philippines as well as in other countries like Mexico, Spain, etc impersonations are a big thing. However, seeing as Marina is now signed as a recording artist, I wouldn't be surprised if she makes it out to the masses over there.
PPN is going to be an amazing reigning queen. She has heart and soul. So, overall I'm not incredibly upset about the result.
But I saw the thing you said about Marina having more foreign/international appeal and I agree with that, which is why I think she would have made a good winner since a lot of these girls travel overseas and it would be great to have a winner that can connect and bring a larger audience to the Philippines drag scene and popularize the show. But I don't think Marina needed the crown to do that, I think she already has a lot of ppl waiting for more. So, in a sense, they both will have great success beyond drag race, but still hoping for a "vs the world" with Marina being a part of it.
@@josereyes-fd1qp That is so true! I think they're prepping Marina for the next VS the World season. I am certain that one slot has already been reserved for her. It is really a win-win situation for the Philippine drag industry.
The last line translated is: "whatever they do, my flag will not fall." That's why Precious' pride "flag" at the end was a gag!
I'm Team Marina but Precious gave me goosebumps. As a Filipino, I really think Precious embodied the song. Well deserving of the 👑
Thank you for reacting to DRPh from beginning to end! I love you guys and I'll continue to support this channel!
SAME Reaction, Shookt! This is giving us Shea and Sasha moment, track record doesnt matter, Congrats to Precious, i think her story in the show is very inspiring, and in Philippines shes a seasoned queen, Marina hope to see you all stars vs the world!
Okay both of your faces during the winner's announcement are the face cracks of the season! LOL love u both! I hope you cover Drag Den by Manila Luzon as well!
They chose someone who is an icon in Filipino drag over the young upstart. Regardless, all of them are going to go on to amazing careers as the cast of one of the best, if not the best, season of Drag Race ever. Congrats to the DRP team for a great season. You're going to have a lot to live up to in season two and I know you're ready.
As someone #TeamPrecious, I couldn't take my eyes off of Precious during the final lip sync. She just totally embodied the song 💯. I've rewatched it several times to focus on Marina, but gosh, my eyes focus still on Precious! Her performance, for me, was perfect and the cherry on top was the rainbow "flag" at the end. 👌👌
I think Mama Pao/production wants Marina to gear up for a "vs the world" and represent the Philippines. I knew since that interview that they had with them in ep 9 that they weren't going to let her win, they kept saying "you're so young and you're already this good... imagine how much better you'll be... your time will come cause you're a star."
Also is it just me or was this the best lip sync for the crown we’ve had since season 9. The lipsyncs were RUPAUL songs and Precious and Marina still managed to turn it out. Shout out to Eva and Xil asw. And the final ls was such a close call, and ultimately Precious won the crown. It’s kind of the same thing almost? A lipsync assasin (Marina and Peppermint) being bested in the end by the queen no one really expected to win (Precious and Sasha) It’s so poetic
You havent watched the finale of Drag Race Espana S1? Because that was Art! That lipsync was sooooo good!
@@drecinema I meant like the top 4 lipsync for the crown. Like from seasons 9-13, and all stars 7.
@@drecinema España S1 lip sync is SO GOOD; but we all knew Carmen was gonna win. 😍
I was Team Marina day 1. I only knew of Precious when I saw her in DR. I didnt like her at first stirring the pot first 2 ep. But after watching her grow. And seeing her story. Also saw her during live shows and her performances was always heartwarming to me and I got pulled in. She also gives her huge tips to the streetchildren one event I saw her (100pesos per kid was huge we usually just give 5pesos or change) and even did a donation fr all their earnings on 1 event after the monsoon. She represents Filipino heart and resilience. She said when she performs she imagines shes performing for her mom so maybe thats why whem you see her live you get sucked in bec I felt all the love she exudes. Marina is a Technician and perfectionist and breathes drag race culture her drag caters more to the western culture while PPN has the heart and narrative Filipino mainstream media wanted. Congrats PPN! Fr a Marina Fan. Im so happy for your reactions congratulating the winner and reminding not to send out hate. Our twitterverse and ig comments have gone haywire here. I just hope it doesnt cast a dark shadow on what a celebration s1 is
I'm Filipino and thats BS to call Marina just a perfectionist and Precious has the heart. If you want to compliment PPN then do so without saying something negative about Marina, kasi ako nakikita ko ang heart ni Marina in her performances and dedication with the art of drag kaya nga almost every week nasa top siya.
@@wilfred29 ur misinterpreting me. of course marina has a heart but ppn embodied more of a heart for filipino masses. Thats what i meant. If I had to make an analogy marina is the brain and ppn is the heart. Both equally important. And when I say perfectionist and technician I meant that as a compliment not an insult because those traits mean they give it their best all the time in everything they do...
Its either a boquet or a bukake hahaha. Pure poetry. Thank you DanDTV for covering DRPH!!! Love from Manila!
Here’s the english translation for the last lipsync song. PPN just slightly edged Marina because she had these nuances to her moves that match the lyrics
I am a mermaid
Whatever they say, I am very beautiful
I am a mermaid
Whatever they do, my flag will not fall
Drum of water is where I dive
Gigantic arms are pounding me down
Drum of water is where I dive
For longest breather, with me, you'll be amazed
Starting from when I was younger
You'll notice whenever I play
Therefore everyone seems confused
that I excel in Chinese garter and hopscotch (note: this is when PPN did the backwards hop, a move from chinese garter)
My lips are very red
From the gum I chewed
Always walking in front of the mirror
telling myself "who can they match"
While waist is swaying
Earrings that are moving (note: this is after PPN removed her wig, dropped down and gyrated)
Using the powder that was purchased from Mrs. Bebang
To hide the bruises on my face
that came from my father
who is apparently not happy every time I am seen
Always beaten
As time goes by, I am not even aware
that instead of becoming harder, it seems that it gets softer (note: after PPN flexed her biceps, she did the “Spaghetti” move, a famous dance by pinoy girl group Sexbomb Girls, and also emulated by young gay boys in the early 2000s)
this heart of mine that is very loving
like curly eyelashes
I am a mermaid
Whatever they say, I am very beautiful
I am a mermaid
Whatever they do, my flag will not fall (note: and of course, the Pride flag that she revealed from the black cloth)
I agree with the judges. If you understand the last song, Precious killed the last lip sync. But I love Marina too. She's definitely for international audience.
Okay, here's what you missed in that final lip sync. Even though Marina served face and had fantastic dance moves, Precious provided better moves with a hint of campiness based on the lyrics of that song. It was a tagalog song, so I can see why you didn't get it. The wig reveal moment followed by "kumekembot ang bewang" (translates as "Shaking hips") sold it for me.
That's on loop to me. That wig reveal, the "kembot" and even the Sexbomb steps. All embodied what the song is all about for a young Filipino gay.
For Marina's outfit in the campy runway
- "Sana Marina" is a play on a real tuna brand, San Marino, and also means "Hope/wish Marina (wins)"
- that was "tumbang preso", a game where kids try to make a can fall down by throwing their flip flops at it
SECOND I LOVE YOU GUYSSS!!! THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO DRAG RACE PHILIPPINES SINCE EP 1 😭❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Im going to miss the two of you! See you in season 2!
Marina is an all around queen. She’ll be very good for VS the World or All Stars.
PPN did better on the lipsync against Marina. Her choreo is on point, she did so many nuances that can only be caught if the audience understood the lyrics tho so it's understandable how intl audience might not get that.
Visit philippines and watch precious.. that song is iconic for us. They both slayed it.
Although I wanted the runner up to win, I'm very pleased with the winning Queen, who well-deserved the crown! She is kind, hilarious and worked extremely hard for the win!
You both obsessed to “I’m American” song so much i swear🤣
I think maybe the Filipino song threw you off. Marina was definitely winning the first half. But Precious overtook her by the second half. Her lip sync is nuanced to the lyrics. Marina was dancing, yes. But the feeling of the song, Precious definitely captured. I would honestly say it was neck and neck until that very last line of the song. While Marina was already striking her last pose, Precious stole the win with her last move. That line is very moving for us little Filipino gay boys who grew up in non-progressive Philippines. What Precious did in those last notes was very, very moving. It may just look like a cheap dollar store trick to anyone else. But it meant a lot to the people who understood. I don't understand when people say Precious shouldn't be in the Top 4. She's NEVER been in the bottom two. She's been top consistently throughout the competition. Her track record is second only to Marina. The competition is decided on a lip sync and in that final lip sync, Precious definitely overtook Marina.
Marina's camp look was the campiest of them all. So many aspects to love about it but it mostly catered to local viewers. She was wearing a San Marino can as a headpiece (it's a popular tuna brand here in the Philippines) and the label says "Sana Marina" which means "Hopefully Marina." And she was playing Tumbang Preso which is a children's street game where you throw a can off its position using flip flops.
PPN just outshined the other finalist and her lip syncs are both snappy and insanely good! Marina is a worthy runner-up to Precious who has shown I'm the Maestro and you are just a protege! This finale episode really gave a big exclamation point on DRPH and all the queens were effin amazing! Can't wait for Season 2!:) GURLLLLL!
20:50 Fun Fact, she did keep it and was also crowned during the finale viewing party for DRPH
You guys need to react to the music video for Sirena by Gloc 9, you'll understand why Precious won.
A slight tidbit, with how Drag Race used Sirena and how Precious and Marina performed to it, the song has finally been given justice and has be reclaimed by the LGBTQIA+ community in the Philippines. Months after its release, the general public ended up using Sirena as an insult or to make fun of the gays, and so a lot of gays ended up fearing the song instead of embracing it.
But now, now that we have it back, I hope people will understand the meaning of the song again.
Yassssss uno reverse that
I was actually team Marina and team Eva right from the start but honestly I do think the right queen won. Although Marina was consistent throughout the season, Precious showed the most growth and in the last few episodes she started to win me over. Plus she slayed both lip syncs in the finale.
I think, from the producer’s point of view, Marina Summers will be a great representative of Philippines for international all stars or VS the world.
Precious showed the most heart. Most deserving to win❤
track wise it's marina, but just based on lip sync PPN clearly won this one. they are both good tho and both will be great winners. Any of the two winning i have no problem with it. if you know much about the song and it's significance you'll know she did great on this one. Saying it's rigged will be inappropriate and unfair cause PPN did perform better on lip sync and her runaway looks are serving.
I am imagining great things for season 2! Drag Race Ph is awesome!
I always watch your reactions! Thank you for reacting, I too am shocked that Precious was crowned but it is what it is. I think it became obvious to me PPN was winning when they always showed an emotional side to Precious almost every episode despite PPN not slaying competition-wise or not even being in the top for most of the challenges.
Precious nailed it! From the Chinese garter, Sexbomb dancers' iconic choreo, to the rainbow flag in the end! Marina is a great dancer but Precious' moves are much more entertaining and memorable. Foreigners may not be able to get it or understand the references and the song itself but to Filipinos it has a very big impact. Well deserved win by Precious!
I am Filipino, and I had the same gagged and gooped face when the winner was announced. Ahahahahaaa! The final lipsync song was the perfect way to end it, though. I really thought Marina had it in the bag. I was also even doing what Hansy was doing, cross-fingers chanting "Marina", but Precious was an awesome contender as well. I am still #TeamMarinaSummers but again, condragulations to PPN! ♥️
Something you might have missed:
The context. Each words from the song, Precious had an interpretation in her movements. The song carry so much meaning that Precious emulated and represented.
Precious was the sirena in that song. Marina did her best and it was so amazing.
Your faces at the end 😂 I laughed so loud
As someone who is both Team Precious and Team Marina from the beginning I'm super glad they made the finals. 💖
I can sort of understand why you were gooped and gagged about the results but it's possibly because Marina appealed to the foreign fanbases while Precious appealed to all of us Filos 💕
Also the final result of the lipsync I saw Precious just commanding the stage more and the usage of the black scarf to rainbow which correlates to the song's message really warmed the hearts of many of us LGBTQ+ Filos 💖
Overall a great season and can't wait to see more of Season 2 💖 (also am super shocked and proud on how it was able to use the drag race formula with a Filo twist)
i know that a lot of people were rooting for marina & i can't blame them. she's a fierce drag queen & at that very young age? undeniably very talented. however in my opinion, precious truly was more deserving of the crown. during the previous episode, when they were asked why they deserve to win the crown, she spoke very passionately about how she (kind of) live, breathe & eat drag. i think people should really try searching some of her live performances because that might convince you better. she's just as fierce as marina & just as good as a performer/entertainer. she's been doing drag longer than marina & if drag race ph were to crown it's first ever winner, it would only be fitting to crown someone who has been in the industry for a long time. besides that, her story about how she wants to go to america to see her family only makes sense for her to win the cash prize. only goes to show that she is not just a fierce drag queen but also a person with a good heart. don't lose hope for marina though because i'm very sure that she will be returning for an all stars season. either in the philippines or maybe even in the main franchise. 😁
10 minutes ago!!! It's 9 am in thhe Philippines and we go here right away. Will have breakfast watching this! :)
don't worry, I'm a Marina fan too but Precious absolutely destroyed that last lipsync. I was also very bummed that Marina didn't win 😭
that camp look of marina is what we call "tumbang preso", it's a pinoy childhood game
I think the finale lipsync song turned the tables. I wished they put subtitle to the song then it would make more sense why Precious won.
I will (attempt) to translate the chorus and end part of the song:
Ako'y isang sirena
(I am a mermaid)
Kahit ano'ng sabihin nila, ako ay ubod ng ganda
(No matter what they say, I am very beautiful)
Ako'y isang sirena
(I am a mermaid)
Kahit ano'ng gawin nila, bandera ko'y 'di tutumba
(No matter what they do, my flag will not fall)
Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid
(I dive in a drum full of water)
Naglalakihang mga braso, sa 'ki'y dumidikdik
(Big arms push me down)
Drum na may tubig ang sinisisid
(In dive in a drum full of water)
Sa patagalan ng paghinga, sa 'kin kayo ay bibilib.
(In holding breathe, you will be amazed with me)
The rest of the song explains that the gay boy's father tried to "drown" the gay away in a drum full of water. In the end the father got cancer and the rest of his kids did not take of him, except for the gay boy who he tried to change..
The father then said at the end of the song:
Anak, patawad sana sa lahat ng aking nagawa
(Son, I am sorry for all the things I did to you)
'Di sinusukat ang tapang sa ang bigote sa mukha
(Strength is not measured by the mustache on your face)
Dahil kung minsan, mas lalaki pa sa lalaki ang bakla
(Because there are times when gays are more manly than men)
It is an amazing poetic song. I really wished they did a subtitle during the finale. Then it would make sense why Precious turning that black flag into a rainbow flag is so significant. Which may have won her the crown.
Marina aced the whole season but I feel like I still don’t know her. That call me mother lipsync was Iconic but Precious nailed the final lipsync. Precious deserved the win. They both deserve it honestly.
Totally agree with you. Maybe this is what Rupaul calls 'showing vulnerability.' I felt more connected with Precious. But then again, maybe it was just because of the editing. 🤣 Anyway, ALL drag queens won this season because they have become celebrities in their own right. For sure, there will be a lot of opportunities awaiting them. Losing is the new winning.
I agreed with all the decisions in the finale. Precious has a real stage presence and was really serving face during her lip syncs.
As a Filipina … I totally understand the shocked reactions of our dear foreign viewers on why Precious bagged the crown… Marina and Precious were both deserving TOP 2 of this season.. However Precious embodied the finale song “Sirena” which is about the struggles of being “gay” since childhood, by doing more relevant dance steps and campy moves fitted to the lyrics. Those solidified her winning…not to mention the emotion she brought in to the audience when she pulled a black lace and turn it to a rainbow and wrapped it to herself. Signifies of embracing her sexuality no matter what. 😉
I've been #TeamPrecious ever since her Regine impersonation. I love Marina and I think that she is a triple threat, but Precious just hits a really soft Pinoy spot with her nuanced impersonation of THE iconic Regine Velasquez, down-to-earth personality, very touching and inspiring love for her family, and finally, her heartfelt lip sync in capturing the meaning of the song, Sirena. ❤️ Lots of love for Precious. ❤️❤️ Anyway, this is just the beginning for all the queens. Only better opportunities will come their way after this. The ticket prices of their shows have already increased and I'm both happy and proud of them!! 🥰🥰
HAHAHAHHHA I MADE THE SAME SPEECHLESS REACTION, IT WAS SO FUNNY SEEING MYSLEF LIKE THAT
Your reactions were... 🙄 Idk, but didn't we all see what Precious did there? That's art. She clearly won that lip sync battle.
Exactly their reaction was so weird and biased
so trueee
I had the same reaction to Precious winning. It was weird and honestly she was highly forgettable
Hard agree. It felt like they were just fixated on Marina and didn't bother to look at Precious, as if there was no way in hell she could do anything in the final lip sync. I would have been ok with Marina winning because I do have eyes and can watch the performances objectively, but their reaction was so off-putting.
You're entitled to your own opinion, but no one can ever denied that Precious Paula Nicole slayed in that final lipsync for the crown. That final performance is the deciding factor more than their track record. Both queens gave the best performance of their lives and gave us a really good final showdown. We have to give it to PPN. Just so you know, the lipsync song "Sirena" meaning mermaid is the Philippines' gay anthem. It narrates the experiences of all gay kids in the country, how they were discriminated against and bullied and hurt by people inside and outside their households, and how they fought with love to win everybody's heart and how they proved that their collective experiences and trauma made them stronger than cisgender males who trample them down. Sirena is an allusion to the young queers coming out of the sea (or a drum of water, as in the lyrics, where some father try to drown their own gay kids out of spite and hate for their identities) and evolving into the queens that they are. It's a very fitting song for the finale. Also, the female part of the song was originally sung by Regine Velasquez, the country's ultimate gay icon. Both Marina Summers and Precious Paula Nicole made good use and portrayal of the song's rich Pinoy gay history thru each of their performances. Hands down one of the best editions of RuPaul's Drag Race. Congrats Precious Paula Nicole, a well deserved win! Marina Summers, see you on All Stars vs the World edition!
The last song "Sirena" (Mermaid) was better lip-synched by PPN. The lyrics are about a boy growing up and experiencing challenges as a homosexual (being beat up by his dad for acting like a girl, wearing make-up, etc.), which PPN danced along to perfectly by adding more illustrative action to every hard-hitting line. The last lyric "bandera ko'y 'di tutumba" ("my flag will never fall" / "I won't surrender my flag") - gave chills when PPN took out the rainbow flag and wrapped consolingly around herself, whereas Marina just held hers up. If you understand the Philippine context of it all, PPN definitely won that battle hands-down. 👏🙌👑
I think Marina deserves the vs. the world because she is the best contender in international stage representing Philippines
My reaction exactly! Plus, the second the winner was announced I shut off the TV
Marina's Can look is an homage to a streetgame almost every Filipino kid has enjoyed "tumbang preso"
you guys should understand the musicT^T so that you can appreciate her win♡ marina was not robbedT^T
👏👏👏👏👏
We are all team marina but we have to give it to Precious. She did THAT and no one really saw it coming because we were all sleeping on other queens because of our biases. It’s a well deserved win!
Marina's camp is related to one of Filipino childhood street games.
the finale song was about growing up gay and the abuses and assaults you have to put up to
the song Mama Pao was lipsyncing to was "The Point of No Return" by Ms. Zsa Zsa Padilla (the Diva that Vinas Deluxe impersonated in the rusical) :D
I’ve watched y’all’s reaction to the winner like a million times 😂😂😂😂 definitely could be a meme…..”Are you for real”
same reaction as me yesterday!..Marina should have won..❤
Precious gave justice to the final lipsync, Marina did good but Precious' lipsync was more moving and connected to every queer person in the Philippines
The moment I saw Precious Paula Nicole in the cast I knew she would win. Though I was team Minty on episode 1. She is a popular drag queen here in the Philippines. She also has a strong influence to us fans. When I saw her performed live she was so lit. Whoever your bet for the Finale is whether you agree or not you can't deny she ate the finale. 😏❤️ Love you precious see you again this weekend.
I don’t know if you’ve clocked it, Mama Pao’s white dress has the map of the Philippines at the bottom half
As much as I wanted Marina to win, that final battle really sold precious for me! both queens are amazing!!!!
Omgggg I got a shout out!!! Yayyy. 🤩
