Literally when Raja wins you can see the disappointment and defeat on Manila’s face but then the second she looks over at Raja she smiles and you can tell she’s genuinely proud of her. Goals.
I dont think Manlia was smiled because she was proud of Raja, it was because Raja was smiling so she smiled back
IMO Raja opened the doors for queens like Violet, Aquaria, Sasha and so many more the younger fans don’t even realise her impact
She's better than all of them
Is sasha a fashion queen i didnt even notice
@@Markane62 well fashion is subjective I guess
@@Markane62 sasha is versatile enough to be whatever she wants to be
@@Markane62 HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHGAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH IM DEAD
her runways STILL hold up however many years later. she is THEE fashion queen of the franchise imo. auntie raja is about to come for allll of us on as7
I've been obsessed with Raja for so long. I started watching Fashion Photo Ruview because I loved Raven but then I stayed because Raja cracked me up. She is my #1 favorite queen.
But I'm nervous. I was ready to tell everyone else on AS7 they could go home because if Raja is there its over....but Raja is being awfully quiet on the AS7 interviews and I can't see her being that way if she slayed. And sending Raja home early would definitely be a gag.
I hope I'm wrong because I love my dear Raja.
@@Aimee42 no one is going home on all stars 7?
SHE DID RED AND BROWN FACE!!!! CANCEL HUUUURRRRRR!!!!💅💅💅💃
@@RecoveringChristian she is brown lol
@@rem1595 than it was black face a la ANTM lol
It’s been so long since I’ve seen Raja out of drag. I forgot how gorgeous Sutan is.
👁 👁
👅 did you s👀 the expression on Carmens face🙄I will NEVER forget that side👁😂🤣🤣🤣 The Shade🌒was real
GORGEOUS.
Yesss!
Agree!!! 💯💯💯
Sutan makes me fan myself. So damn fine.
THE eternal fashion queen of the franchise.
legend
Facts.
Raja, aquaria, farida kant, the countess are the fashion queens in my opinion. I feel like violets looks weren't as polished as much as I loved her she just had a good finale look, yes im aware that fashion doesn't only apply for drag race but I'm talking about internal drag race. So she had the best looks
The only look from the countess that was breathtaking was her beetle juice/alien look. Also Violet and Aquaria are the only drag queens invited to the met Gala 💅🏾 they really are LEAGUES above the rest.
@@alexdominguez2325 you're wrong. the two of them (and symone too) were invited to the met gala basically representing drag race because the show became this huge thing and these events have to tap into whatever's hyped in the moment. They were just the fashion queens to choose from more recent seasons. So that's not an actual reason to say they're better fashion queens. If the show was as popular as it is now when Raja was on, she would definitely have done all the things Violet and Aquaria did, and more. She was relevant even before she got on drag race. And above anything else, the truth is Raja is just OBJECTIVELY better, more creative and inventive, and she can actually build and sew garments, while Aquaria and Violet won their balls with hot glue (people conveniently forget about that) AND she was actually the blueprint for all the others (I'm sure Violet, Aquaria, etc. would actually confirm that). Anyone who knows anything about what they're talking about will admit that Raja is the one in a league above the rest.
not including her lip sync against carmen is such a crime
for some reason these compilations aren’t including the lipsyncs (probably copyright idk) but it’s so sad bc all of the winners have amazing lipsyncs (especially yvie and monet!)
The kiss of death for Carmen. Iconic! 💋
My top Favorite Lip Sync not including that come on now. THAT was HOT and SEXY
Gosh yes that was so iconic
Agreed .. that lipsync was jaw dropping sensual and sexy.. 😊❤
Raja is the perfect example of taking her craft seriously but not taking herself too seriously. She’s always so on point and in on the joke.
The only winner with an Asian background on an American season of drag race. When I saw season 3, I had the biggest crush on raja. A timeless, amazing queen!
Same! The representation to have the final 3 be all POC, especially with two Asian finalists was amazing. It's still one of my favorite seasons to this day.
True! So glad to see her back in AS7. Manila should've been one of AS4 winners, but unfortunetelly it didn't happen.
i keep rewatching her season i so so love her!!
@@justme7410 it’s their charisma, confidence and taste level. Just *chefs kiss*
Now Nymphia Wind finally become the 2nd Asian winner
“It’s the purple people eater” WHICH QUEEN SAID THAT, made the entrance x100 EYE-conic
Mimi Imfurst 💀💀
I think it was manila
@@CNTango that does not sound like Manila 😬
It's actually Laganja Estranja in Bootleg Onions from the future
@@raspyswirly lol not this
The fact it cuts to Shangela every time raja wins is shady☠️
😭😂😂
...deliciously devious shade from Shangela!
Because those moments where Shangela was the 2nd place.
....i gagged when Raja told her....to her face...that she did NOT belong there....maybe season 1....she was right....however Shangela has worked very hard...and has a great career....
@@CuirPhotodotNet ..
much love to DJ Pierce!
Her looks aged pretty well. It’s even more impressive that they were from a lot of design challenges. I’d like to see the new seasons try to steer away from professional designers-provided looks and switch back to design challenges. I’d rather the queens sew and throw things together than all compete with trying to outspend each other.
This would never work nowadays. People demand FASHION! People demand ELEGANZA! These queens spend thousands on costumes and sometimes still end up looking horrible. The producers know way too well that most queens on the show cannot sew anything remotely close to the expensive fashion they bring to the show. So sewing challenges are far and between these days.
Fr it sucks 😩
@@Meechooilka that's sadly true, but I believe that maybe trying to do more design/sewing challenge for one season - or even putting a limit on how much you can spend on costumes for the show to really make some queens struggle - could really bring out some hidden talent, sure it may look horrible but it could also be amazing!
Raja has still kept popular since season 3 now that’s a winner.
I don’t think you can do best of Raja without doing the ‘Straight up’ lip sync y’all! That was a cultural moment!
EXACTLY
Wildest part of this video was watching Raja hug Ru. Talk about NERVE
while i’m not going to argue that it do take nerve, ru was more open with the queens during the early seasons of drag race and was acquainted (not friends lol) with raja before the show because she used to watch raja perform.
Also, if you keep up through the grapevine, Ru knew Raja before the competition as Ru was much more into the drag scene while Raja was coming up. It wasn't rigged but Ru knew Raja and knew she'd be strong in the competition.
@@sureal9048 Yeah definitely. It's part of the shift to it being more popular. Still jarring in the context of "is there something on my face" ru
@Sebastián Baeza Raja def had some favortism
Raja is the blueprint. There is no Violet Chachki, Courtney Act, Bimini, Krystal Versace, Miss Fame, Aquaria, Naomi Smalls, etc. without her. That’s not shade to any of them, but Raja was the first one to elevate the drag on that runway. She was the first one to bring high fashion drag to Drag Race and she stepped up the game to a level that required future queens on the show to step up THEIR game now that the bar had been raised. We are where we are today because of Raja. It’s because of Raja that drag queens can’t wear store bought mall clothes (ahem H&M) on the runway anymore. She is and will always be that girl.
SAY IT LOUDER SIS👏🏻
For me this was the season that cemented Drag Race as a cultural touchstone. Some of the most popular queens to ever appear were on this season; of course Raja and Manila, but also Alexis and Yara, the "make the most of every opportunity" winner Shangela, trailblazer Carmen Carerra, and even Mariah, Delta and India. Because of these amazing entertainers we have a season 14, an All-Stars 7 and successful franchises all over the world and growing. All my respect to these queens for making great television and changing the world in a small but important way. 🙏
Season 3 had some iconic queens, i mean almost all the cast is all-stars and still relevant to this day (good or bad publicity) like: Raja, Manila, Alexis, Yara, Shangela, Carmen, Delta, Stacy, Mariah, India, Mimi.
Venus D-Lite and Phoenix that didn't get to showcase their talent a little bit more.
Even Venus. Girl that throwing wig to the contestant is iconic. I laughed so hard.
@@FeelingMyOats LOL I love this community so much sometimes. I remember watching season 3 week to week over 11 years ago!! I was gagged in the worst way and was so mad she kept pushing Shangela! Feels like yesterday 😂😂😂
In a small way???? Nah. Tbey showcased their quietness and confidence for at least one entire generation to see. It made it ok for us to maybe paint our nails blk or wear eyeliner. All the way to expressing our full fem side. This wasn't wasn't small thing. This show at season 3 and 4 kept so many boys and young men, from giving up. It made them feel seen. That there was hope in their future. To see hope in this world again was everything for them. It's not a stretch to say this show has saved thousands of lives.
Shangela aint a winner tho
Hats off really to the queens for surviving the season with that many construction challenges :o
But all the love to the OG fashion queen Raja ♥
this is hands down the most difficult season of RPDR ever.
that's what drag was though. when this was airing, queens would get paid maybe $50 for a gig if they were lucky. it wasn't something you could make your career and have all this extra money to buy things. most queens were constructing all their looks at the time.
@@1bwash For sure, but probably not for the short couple of days that they had to prepare per episode
And live singing + performing on top of that
as a gay indonesian myself it'll forever feel amazing knowing an indonesian won rpdr and became one of the most iconic queens ever.
we dont ask
@@MrShy-op9gddidn’t* if you’re gonna be hateful, at least use correct grammar
All these shots of Shangela looking so pressed whenever Raja wins 😆 the editors never wanted to let those slide
Raja's season was the first and only season of RPDR I have seen completely from start to finish and the reason why I fell in love with the show. Drag has changed a lot since then. I can't wait to see her again along with the other queens.
Season 3 is so underrated. It's easily my favorite season and am so excited to see Raja again!
Me too! I miss the older seasons and how they did things back then, particularly the runway challenges. ❤
remember that was the last time we got a true winning reaction
True. After that we got the voting and began recording all "winners"
Wasn’t season 4 the last?
@@Steerre nope
This was also the early era where Ru said production be damned and apologized if he was out of line saying something to the girls and actually took their feelings into account. It was very raw
She´s the one, she´s always been the one. The diamond crowned queen
She's a thunder breathing dragon-ette.
11:21 that walk. She is the OG fashion queen and will definitely bring it to the runway once again in All Stars 7. She’s one of the queens I’m most excited to see
Omg Same!!! Raja is everything!!❤
The way she stomps that runway
Raja & Manila pointing at each others when singing Champion in the finale is always a highlight of this season for me 😭
18:46 that beautiful moment where you see that Manila is clearly sad that she didn't win, but then she looks over at Raja, and the sadness just fades. She's so genuinely happy for Raja. Love their friendship. ❤️🌸✨
Rupaul: Raja Condragulations you're the winner of this challenge
RAJA: 😜😋😁😆
SHANGELA:🙄😒😑
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The disappointment in Manila's eyes before gracefully congratulating Rajah!
I'll take Manila over Raja any day of the week, month, year.... Raja is a fashionable queen, but that's it. Manila is the whole package.
Disappointed? More like pissed lol
@@MegaMaxiepadgirl pls you sound bitter. Even Manila herself would argue that Raja deserve that win🤷🏻♂️
Raja makes me supremely happy. My mom and I watched ANTM from cycle 1, then we peeped Raja on season 3 of Drag Race. Raja is an icon.
Omg same with me and my daughter 💗
Raja is stunning both in and out of drag. Raja has a presence about him. Like when he talks you are gonna want to hear what he has to say because it’s gonna be interesting. I absolutely cannot wait to see Raja and that exquisite model walk in front of Streatham’s finest (Naomi Campbell).
Ah I love Raja in that moneyball dress. That silhouette and that hat is so awesome!
She is my favorite Winner, one of the best gemini (so am I) out there ... I never forget an interview on Hey Qween, when Ru says: No one has kill that runway like Raja... The super model of the world saying that, is superior.
Geminis are amazing people, Ive been with one for 10 years 💗 Raja is my favorite winner as well 👑
I didn’t start hearing about drag race until season 6 so i’m very excited to see the OG fashion queen
So many great moments but I wish the Straight Up lip sync could’ve been included because while it challenge wise was a bad week she won that week with that legendary lip sync
new drag fans need to know about her kiss of death !
The kiss of death for Carmen! 💋
I don't know her dynamic w Manila I'm sure they joke I wouldn't be surprised if Manila gets even w her all those years by reminding her she almost lost it all bc of that makeover and that she herself won that week. And so the universe in turn punished Manila for that same feat lol
I love whoever yelled at the top of their lungs when Raja entered the werk room
I can’t wait to watch all stars 7 and see how much raja has grown from season 3. She’s going to turn the looks and I’m so here for it.
That money gown... oh my god. By far the best workroom-look ever made. Though maybe utica's bag ball comes close
....even RU....called it....breathtaking...
It was. Until you see what she did in all stars 7.. Only beaten by herself.. .
Raja is just a beautiful human
I know Raja is best known for her fashion and walk (and rightfully so!) but I feel not enough people talk about the other talents she got to showcase on her season. She always gave solid acting and comedy, had a great snatch game and slayed every performance and lipsync (like the lipsync vs Carmen and the music challenge). She's honestly such a well-rounded queen and an exemplary winner, in my opinion.
These ‘best of’ videos are so enjoyable and fantastically edited. Thanks for continuing to post them. Loving them all.❤️
Raja is THEE queen I’m most excited for on the new All Stars 7. Reppin the southeast Asians, let’s goooooooo
17:42 her and manila pointing at each other and saying "you are a champion" is sooo nice and prettying
i think Raja’s rococo look is the first truly iconic runway in drag race herstory
genuinely most excited to see Raja again
One of my favorite queens 😭
Can't wait to see her on TV again
she is a winner and joining the most favorite show i ever watched but as an indonesian i never ever see her on the tv. SHE IS THE MOMENT YOU GUYS obviously crying of proudness rn. i love hER personallity so much ♡
Raja is high fashion but very personable. She's dancing goofy in a very expensive Couture evening gown. That's why I fell in love with her.
A primeira fashion queen, a eterna e inovadora! Nunca desapontou numa runway. Eu amo uma lendaaa
The fact that Raja is *STILL* really good looking today outside of drag 👀 Raja has had grey hair for such a long time (looks amazing btw) that it felt weird seeing old clips again of her black hair. My favorite queen of all time, just feels like a fresh breath of air seeing her first day of the show
I have never seen season 3 but the constant cuts to Shangela whenever Raja wins anything are killing me
This top two was one of the best ever. The crown could've went to Manila, and I wouldve been okay. Raja definitely deserved this since she was a first fashion girl who isn't so robotic and lacked personality. She was vulnerable from the start. Love this queen forever.
UGH. I need a moment. To this day, I don't think I've ever been so thirsty to see a queen's runway look AND walk as I have been when Raja was on the show. And she delivered, EVERY TIME. Maybe I'm biased bc I stan ANTM, and she may have taken pointers from when she worked on the ANTM set, but her fashion/model presence on the runway was undeniable.
Yeeeesss I've been waiting for the "Best Of" video of this eye-con
"100% pure family walked in" Go Heathers! ❤️
....i remember saying that to one of my classmates when he walked into a class i was taking...he is a savage ex gang banging drug dealer who changed his ways and became a drug and alcohol counselor....he hugged me and kissed my bald head....when i told him i got the line from RU PAULS DRAG RACE....he just smiled and said...THATS A BEAUTIFUL BITCH....LOVE HER....
I’m so excited for Raja she is one of my favorites and I can’t wait to see her on again 💋💋💋
"Hi gorgeous lady of wrestling!" 7:07 This is sending me: what a beautiful thing to say to someone!
First and only Asian winner of US Drag Race and OG Fashion Queen
@Novak D we almost had Manila on AS4 but 😫
Little did anyone know Raja was already 157 years old when she walked into the werkroom being the oldest queen yet she looked the youngest. Icon
"hello my name is Sutan and I'm 36 👶"
And India was the youngest apparently and looked the oldest
Her critiques were "When she's in drag she makes herself look so much older"
If Kandy Muse told her to act her own age, she would have died, but if Kandy Muse told her to act how old she looked, she would have been complaining about her final exams
Makes me nostalgic for old drag where the queens had to use their own creativity and resourcefulness to construct their looks. now it just feels like queens pay designers thousands of dollars and that's it. you can tell the newer queens don't have the same skills anymore.
The professionalism Raja queen carries is UNTOUCHABLE.
i just love that raja gets to hug ru on the work room like that is amazing!! she is amazing!! i love herrrrrr she is funny, talented and just full on AMAZING I CANT DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I LOVE RAJAAAA
Raja is such an innovator, she has done so much in her career and is the definition of a legend
The talent is incredible. Raja is so kind, level headed and humble. She is a beautiful queen .
Raja’s crowning is so emotional. Not only because of Raja, but because of Manila too. In the confessional before it looks like she was already crying. Maybe they recorded it post lip sync.
Then when the winner is announced we see joy and we also see Manila’s disappointment, and if your a fan you know how hard she fights still. The look she gives Raja was all raw emotion. I love these two so much! Thank you Raja and Manila for inspiring me!
Love the fact though that she was so underestimated when she walked in but she’s just so well known to this day and stomped the competition😍
She changed the game
She won the show the moment she entered the room. Unforgettable!!! ❤️
My Diamond Crowned Queen, I bow to thee! 👑❤
Raja's looks still impress over a decade later.
And some of the most impressive ones are for design challenges.
I'm soo obsessed with Raja, my biggest crush both in and out of drag😍😍
Season 3 stills the most difficult season in herstory
The personification of "Give me a sewing challenge and I'll give you what you like."
Raja: "She was doing stuff that Gaga is doing now before Gaga even knew about it"
Love her 😍
i love her so SO much
GOSH the way Raja knows how to work her body, her posture, her face, how she carries her looks, I wish I had at least a fraction of this awareness.
FIRST ASIAN WINNER LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Other than Manila the queens didn't stand a chance against her 😩
Both top 2 are Southeast Asian descents. Indonesian and Filipino. ❤️
Raja’s confessionals went from dilf to milffff
“even though i teased her & called her a booger” 🤣🤣 ohhh raja i adore you!
Her Gold Rush look is still, to this day, the best look a queen had to put together herself on the show. No I will NOT argue about it.
God that was fun to watch! Its hard to find good clips from those older RPDR seasons,,, and Raja is phenomenal! ❤
THE OG FASHION QUEEN WITH STREET CREDENTIALS. LOVE HER. LOVE RAJA
The Greatest to EVER touch that runway!
Just realized how respectful they were to each other in the lipsync battle for the CROWN S3. They point out each other for the "you are a champion" lyric and let the other take over the middle stage for a while. PERFECT.
I don’t know how Manila won the money ball Raja’s look was the best by far
I think because it was the overall score of the three different pieces they had to create. I remember they had to do something like a swimsuit and cocktails dress on top of the final gown. But yes Raja’s last one was stunning.
Because Raja's swimsuit in that episode was not up to her usual standard. Also they had to lip sync and dance to a Latoya song as part of that challenge....Raja was not great in that performance.
almost every season someone will do a marie antoinette look...but raja´s is still the very very best
From the second Raja walked in and everyone was judging her, I knew she’d be the one.
I’m excited for all stars cuz on raja season she was giving very student of Vivian Westwood and now her drag gives the professor of Vivian Westwood best way to describe it
11:33 is my fave Raja face because she looks like my beloved grandma when she's young here. She's turning 90 this year ^^
💗💗💗💗💗
Raja is not that old ...
@@garnement.845 its a joke!
@@krissykriss328 no i did a joke, he was talking bout his grandma turning 90, not raja
@@garnement.845 👍
My favorite Drag queen ever! I love her to death.
Raja, has always been my favorite queen. I've always loved when Sutan appeared on ANTM
Raja is a classy icon. I love her style and attitude.
Kind but confident. What an amazing combination.
Raja is the queen who 100% revealed her charisma, uniqness, nerve and talent in the season plus her irony and and charm i'm liviiiiiingg 💞💞💞💞 can't wait to see what auntie will show in all stars 7!
Raja is everything!! Adore her!
The herstory lesson we all needed to learn. A true legend like Raja deserves to be known and remembered by many generations.
The video that we’ve been waiting for 4 decades.
I remember I was sooooo thrilled she won!❤️💯
THE OG FASHION QUEEN !!!!!!!!!!
2:40 #Raja stopped time!!! The 60's look is hot!!! And #DeltaWork in the house ~ ♡♡♡
The original RPDR's supermodel
Both should get a double win, even a triple win. Raja brung it and deserves the win. Congrats queen. Pray parents are proud of all your endeavors and what makes Raja joyful
