Novympia's Drag Race Review: Season 12, Episode 7

Madonna is SHIT!!! I had to live through the demise of music first hand and it was nightmare that only calmed when Ray of light came out. (great album) So, I sadly really know Madonna out of forced exposure. Jan did her "dancing" perfect and she looked flawless. She just lacks soul or personality to me. She reminds me of Reece Witherspoon in the Election...she's so obsessed with winning and that's honestly all I know about her...sorry to her fans but she's a yawn for me. Crystal and Heidi have my heart.

Nova not knowing a lot of those Madonna songs and albums hmm I'd like miss "Research Madonna or get your rights revoked" to take a Madonna quiz and then we'll see

I also am not a big Madonna fan. I don’t hate her but I do recognize her contribution to music. Also, What does Jan need to do, set herself on fire? Okay she is perfect and “Madonna can’t sing...”, you know what she can’t do either, a back flip”. I like Gigi as well but to be honest, she’s just as flawless and perfect as Jan, I think this could have easily been a double win.

I agree with you that this should have been Jan's win and to see her eyes die was esp heartbreaking. I just hope it doesn't affect her performance for the following week as that would be a great great shame. I used to be a fan of Madonna back in the deep, dark, distant past but lost interest with Hardy Candy and all that followed although Madame X is up there (at times). Ray of Light is still a masterpiece but I agree that her career has been a testament to her creativity and balls rather than her singing ability. We do need to see a "Frozen" Olympia trapped in a black bedsheet/binliner also did we ever find out who knocked the table and dont even get my started on Hershel! We need answers!!! Haha.

Yeah, I’m gonna agree with Nova here, Jan had the better voice, perfect moves and a perfect runway. Gigi did well on the performance and was given good choreography that she executed, but her runway wasn’t good enough for me. Also, the camera work Gigi had was much better, they focused more on her face, where as Jan the camera was a mile away. I like Gigi, but for me this week she deserved a top 3 spot, but not the win. Also, I think if someone not super skinny and white wore what Gigi wore Michelle would’ve ripped them apart. Michelle’s the one always coming for people wearing a bathing suit or a body suit only, so it’s weird that’s exactly what won the Michelle Visage runway challenge. I don’t know what happens the rest of the season, but the way they are barely acknowledging how good Jan actually is makes me think they’ll eliminate her soon. If that happens I hope they bring her back for an All Stars, because I think she’s got the smarts and talent to be successful no matter what place she gets this season.

Why didn't you critique Heidi's Michelle look?

Head is looking very fashionable! I’m with lymp on this one, couldn’t care less about Madonna tbh. Some of her 80s stuff is okay, but I won’t ever actively search for it. Once again, another fab breakdown of an episode, thanks ladies ❤️

i haven't heard this episode yet - but i must say what i need to say. i have NOTHING against Gigi. absolutely nothing. but Gigi did not deserve the win. i am old enough to remember the original madonna - the skanky trashy chick that pretty much every single person on the planet aspired to. it's difficult to imagine now, but my gawd she was EVERYWHERE back in the day. jan had her moves and SPIRIT down - and it actually made me gasp. i LOST it when Gigi was announced - and to be honest, i really think it will be given to Gigi at this point. ru has his favourites, and Gigi is the one. and again - i do not hate anyone. but i do not believe that gigi should have won. Also, the boytoy thing - madonna used to wear a belt with the word BOYTOY. It was shocking at the time - and it added to her image.

trust me - i fangirl on the daily to these two - and i am in the same boat as you xx

I'm totally with Nova on this was Jan's win that was given away to Gigi. I think it's along leg skinny bias that I am not here for! I do think there was a basic problem with everyone in that they didn't get their heads in a Madonna frame of mind. She's kinda always nasty even in the early floppy limb, Lucky Star/Borderline, videos. I think that maybe if they had been thinking like Madonna, we'd have seen the nastiness. The only one who got there was Jaida, and she got all the way there with the nastiest Madonna to date!

You cannot tell me Jackie’s Toy Boy bit wasn’t Material Girl. Like ffs everything from the wedding gown to the cutesy sound to THE TITTING NAME. it made me so mad that they kept saying like a virgin. Only reason I know that is bc it was on SingStar from PS2 lmao. It was just so weird to me that Miselle (self proclaimed Madonna scholar) kept saying it was Like a Virgin.

Having said that, team Jan for the win! :D

Olympia doing a Madonna Frozen video would be amazing.... especially using her new found CGI skills (i.e the staycation video)

Another great show guys! I completely agree with Olympia about Madonna, she's just not a very nice person and I'm sick of episodes being dedicated to her. If we need to do a diva there are others that have never been done. Also, Jada. Oh my god! Until I say this I thought she was very forgettable but here she was amazing. I thought she should have won this challenge.

Spoilt with content 🧡 these are mt bath time listens when im not listening to Full of It

Obviously I haven’t watched the whole video yet, but can I just say before I forget how jealous I am that Head gets to wear the Jenna Marbles glue gun hat. Like. Truly jealous. Ok...back to the show.

OMG I got a mention.....I'm fanboying rather too much for my own good...(do people still say that...sorry I'm skidding towards 50 so WAY out of touch 😆😆😆) haha. Now to watch the whole thing.....and relax....🌟
