Both Blu and Janey grew up in religious parts of their countries, but Mo, who also grew up surrounded by religion, was on the path to ministry before being put through conversion therapy. The subject of their verses also inspired the girls to open up about their experiences in conservative upbringings.
They discussed how their line of work opens the door to alcoholism and addiction, and how the clarity of mind that comes with their levels of sobriety has helped improve their lives and careers. It was a topic that Juju related to since she’s 10+ years sober at this point, though Baga is only drinking in moderation at this point. Baga opened up about how Drag Race saved her from alcoholism in the sense that it helped her realize how much she was drinking while working in bars and clubs. While getting ready for their performance and runway, Juju asked Baga about some of her lyrics that hinted at an over-consumption of alcohol. Because it’s their semi-final performance, all the girls wanted to push themselves, but were also concerned with making sure that they showcase their own strengths. Baga was the fish most out of water in this session, but the attempts by Juju to adapt some of the moves to make everyone look good were mostly shut down by Mo. Mo and Janey took the lead in the choreo development with the girls, figuring themselves more capable than the other three.
Jade thought Baga’s lyrics were “bang on Baga Chipz,” had to work really hard with Janey Jacké on her pitch and even asked her why she chose to sing her verse if she knew she couldn’t sing, and was impressed by the way Juju could stretch her vocals beyond what she thought she could. Juju didn’t mince words in her reply, saying that she’s going to do something she likes instead of worrying about what the other girls think or what the judges will say about it.įor the recording session, Jade Thirlwall from Little Mix was on hand to help the girls with vocals and Ian Masterson was around as producer. Mo thought her verse was too vague for casual audiences that will be unfamiliar with Boston and Blu said it was too similar to what she did in her talent show on episode one.
The verses themselves would be about 15 seconds long and each queen would tell a quick story about their own hometown.ĭuring the writing process, Mo and Blu gave Jujubee a hard time about her first draft. To prepare for the song, the girls decided to set their verses in the order their names come in the alphabet, placing Baga first and Mo last. The next morning, after Blu admitted that she “kind of enjoyed” sending Pangina home, the semi-finalists were greeted by Ru for their next maxi challenge: adding their own solo verse to Ru’s song “Living My Life in London.” Over the course of the challenge they’d write and record their verse, and then perform choreography that they create themselves. Baga Chipz was previously vocal about wanting to get revenge on Pangina on behalf of Jimbo, so it was no surprise that had she won she would have sent Pangina home as well. Blu defended her decision as being the same one that Pangina made in eliminating Jimbo, which is to get rid of her toughest competition when she had the chance. Blu Hydrangea vocalized her own worry about how it might be received for her to have sent such a beloved queen home, but Mo Heart supported the decision because it is a game after all. “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Versus The World” airs every Tuesday at 4pm ET / 1pm PT in the US and in select territories exclusively on WOW Presents Plus, day-and-date with its local airing on BBC3 in the UK.įollowing Pangina’s tearful exit, all of the remaining queens felt the disappointment on behalf of Pangina, knowing how much she wanted to prove for her country. Below check out our recap of episode 5 to see the final five put their spin on Ru’s song “Living My Life in London” with a verse about their own hometown.
