The anticipation and excitement for Season 4 of “Drag Race Philippines” are officially on.
Six of the twelve queens in the reality competition’s upcoming fourth season showcased their charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent at “Versusan Live” by Adonis Prodhouse last September 6, Sunday.
New cast members Manza, Valeria, Maureen Biology, Merckz, Katana, and Taylor Sheesh each gave individual performances before taking part in lip-sync battles against drag queens from another local reality series “Drag Den, namely Shewarma, NAIA, and OA.
Also taking part in the battles were “Drag Race Philippines” alumna Minty Fresh, Zymbading, Angel, and M1ss Jade So, the latter currently a “Drag Race Down Under vs. the World” finalist.
“Versusan Live” gave the queens a video-game-style combat setup for the face-offs, showcasing iconic lip-sync performances to songs such as “Emotional” by Whitney Houston and “Padam Padam” by Kylie Minogue. The battles generated pure, electric fun for drag race fans at the jam-packed Vice Comedy Club in Quezon City.
M1ss Jade So, for one, delivered an uproarious individual performance of one of pop diva Rihanna’s biggest hits, “We Found Love,” in her iconic gold ensemble from “Drag Race Down Under vs. the World.” She later performed alongside Merckz and Angel, her fellow trans drag artists.
Also gracing the “Versusan” event were the iconic Divine Divas composed of “Drag Race Philippines” Season 1 winner Precious Paula Nicole, “Slaysian Royale” winner Brigiding, and the latter’s runner-up Viñas Deluxe performing iconic hits by Destiny’s Child.
The inaugural “Versusan Live” is the inaugural edition of the event, delivering pure drag entertainment and drumming up excitement for “Drag Race Philippines” Season 4 premiering on September 25.
