Travis Wall choreographed Read U Wrote U, but other than that, I agree with you 100%
THANK YOU! It was driving me crazy when he said Todrick choreographed Read U Wrote U.
I cant believe we didn't touch on Travis, he choreographed the best numbers
@@JoshuaHubbardmedia I think he wasn’t mentioned because of him and his assistant choreographer nick lazzarinni being accused of sexual harassment by many young male dancers.
@@ItsMiloTalon what now? Oh that's so disappointing!
I think Alyssa is a good choreographer because she works with children and she knows that not everyone is at the same level of dance skill as a result, plus her past experience on the show.
same for Laganja ✌😭💓 I keep saying for these mini challenges, like on the week they have a choreography related challenge for the main, they should keep giving out a cash prize but should give out a bonus prize of one on one choreography teaching time on top of it. Like imagine winning a full one on one hour with Alyssa to practice your steps?? I'd love to see it!!
@@x.Aura.x ooo, that's a good prize, but i do think it doesn't work as well in the reality format
she was great when she coreographed the pharmarusical on S10 and did the runway thing on S11
She works with children? Where?
@Mora Ocampo i recommend watching her netflix minidoc Dancing Queen. She runs her own dance company with kids :)
Not only is Jamal a great choreographer and good at uplifting the queens, but also such good eye candy for us viewers
thisss!! i hateddd how todrick was so shady like it was so unnecessary?? it’s like if you fuck up todricks all like you’re a mess right now you need to get it together or it’s gonna look awful let’s step it up 🤬😤 and jamal would be like i see you’re having trouble with that move let’s go through it again i know it seems hard but you got this you’re gonna kill it 🥰😌
lmao absolutely. Honestly it's not even just his looks, his laugh and smile are genuinely heart warming. And he's sooo charming. Man crush every day, so happy whenever he's on drag race
i love how there’s always one queen thirsting hard for him😭
@@merrymermaid i mean I would be drooling as well if I was on the same room as him, boi is *foooooine* af
Girrrrrrl, he FINE FINE!
As a dancer myself, to me there’s a big difference between a choreographer and a teacher. A choreographer shows you the steps and then it’s your job to get it right. A teacher, on the other hand, is there to guide you through the process, motivate you and give you all the tools you need to succeed. On a show like Drag Race where every contestant has a different skill level, what the queens need is a teacher like Jamal or Alyssa, and not a choreographer like Todrick. Choreographers work better with profesionals.
THIS 1000 TIMES!
Thanks for the clarification and logical thought process without being mean.
This so much. From a former dancer I 💯 agree.
Yeah it’s wild to me that they bring on a choreographer who expects everyone to have professional level dance ability.
After Todrick's behaviour in the Big Brother house I think it's safe to say that Todrick Hall is not coming back to Drag Race.
Jamal is behind the choreo for Encanto, that's how good of a choreographer this man is, able to take fictional characters and make them shine in their songs with the only visual reference being their chara designs. He's my all time fav!
Laganja has mentioned SEVERAL times she would like to come back as a choreographer...and that would be AMAZING
Iirc she choreographed Trixie's Hello Hello video, which was stunning!
omg imagine Laganja and Alyssa being co-coreographers 🤩
That explains her SICKENING performance as the lip sync assassin on AS6. She left them her resume!
@@cantfiteveryheart she said "hire me pls" lol
Yes please!!!
I love Jamal but I wish they'd give an opportunity to Laganja. She's been asking for this gig for a long time and she did a really great job with that Hello Hello video by Trixie
I definitely think she has a chance to choreograph something on an upcoming season, considering how well she was received on AS6
She also did Katya’s Ding Dong. Despite being so minimal, I was glued to the screen cause it looked so fun.
THIS! i hope like every other past queen can come back to become a mentor or choreographer
That video deserves awards 👏 🙌
No thank you. I'm tired of her whole Blaccent gimmick and just like Alyssa she's boring and predictable in what moves she'll do. Y'all love praising white mediocrity because you can't achieve Black excellence like Jamal 😑
Jamal is such an icon, he choreographed “We don’t talk about Bruno” scene in the movie Encanto.
😱
we stan jamal in this house
We sure do!
Jamal is just 😍
As it Should Be!
jamal is the blueprint
*daddy
I'm surprised you didn't mention Todrick forcing Eureka to sing while doing the choreography even though she was clearly nervous and asked for a minute to just do the choreo. That was the first eye-opening Todrick moment for me.
That is true!
When I saw that, I thought he was trying to help her get out of her head, even in the beginning of the performance she wasn’t there. But I can see how that can be problematic as well
@@joshuashepard486 Not really. All we saw him say was, "Well the others queens had to do it..."
@@joshuashepard486 as a teacher, you should know not everyone learns in the same style. todrick may have wanted to help her get out of her head, but he should've listened to her instead because what was working for the other queens clearly was not for eureka. plus, he did look like he was over it by the time it was eureka's turn so he was not even gonna try to make an extra effort for her.
Yall really base yall whole opinion on an edit. Grow up. Dont reply cause I never read replys lol
I think one of the absolute laziest choreography coaches in drag race herstory were the band Steps in UK3. Both the Queens reaction during the episode and several people I've seen were equally as baffled when they came out to the stage to rehearse and the only thing they did was say"Well, let's see what you got". Basically, they just stood there watching. I believe even some of the confessionals mentioned how the Queens thought they were gonna be guided through some of the choreo too.
SO TRUE. I forgot about them
I love love love steps but I don’t think they’re choreographers. When Lee walked out to choreo…..I was like…..have you got the Steps choreo down yet though 🙈🤷♀️. I do love them though, xxx
I agree! I can’t stand steps that made me not like them more and I’m from the U.K.!
They were there for the promotion of the single they did with Michelle. Coincidentally the BBC had both Steps and Michelle on the Graham Norton show around the same time. Steps are not choreographers so it was weird to see them in that 'role'. It's the same with Katie Price being in the UKvsTW Snatch Game recently - the BBC has a series about her life currently broadcasting. Awkward shoehorning of people onto the show to cross-promote BBC output seems to be a standard now. 🖤
They weren’t choreographers. for all the uk girl group challenged you have to do it yourself they were there as a cameo and to offer some slight advice
One thing about Todrick that always stuck with me was when for Cher: The Rusical (or whatever they named that challenge from season 10), he inserted 2 of Beyonce's signature moves into the choreography for, if you haven't gathered from the name, a Cher-related challenge... where he also didn't include any clear and memorable "Cher-isms", they were almost all done by the queens. He seems to choreograph "for the twitter gays" as it were, instead of... you know... just choreographing something to make sense for the challenge.
Very this
Thanks for the input!! That makes so much sense regarding his style of choreography
And then imagine being asked to learn choreo at a fast pace, with a jerk teacher, while also having to act and memorize lines and lip syncing and having to add your own “Cher-isms” on top of that. And then being sent to the bottom for “falling short” and pretending like you weren’t set up to fail.
@@cantfiteveryheart that challenge they even sang live. A literal nightmare
Pretty good summation of todrick in general tbh
Jamal has always been my favorite. He knows how to play to every queen's strengths and doesn't expect everyone to be a professional dancer. His coreos are the perfect mix of simple but with standout points were it looks great at the end uwu anyway stan daddy Sims
I have considered Todrick a bad coreographer two times in the show, in AS3 when he wouldn't give Thorgy any real steps, guidance or place for her to show up in the divas rusical and in S10 when he kept making Beyoncé references in a coreography for a Cher rusical which actually afected the queen's impersonation (the vixen in this case) while she was getting her critiques. So that is the only thing i could disagree.
Watching him talk to thorgy like that was incredibly unprofessional, definitely one of the many 🚩
Jamal and Alyssa are great teachers. They know how to play with each queen’s strength and adapt the choreography to match their strength. Yanis, while a great dancer, isn’t a great teacher. Yanis is way too critical, sets the bar way too high, and brings them down when they don’t get it the first time(like when he shaded Rajah when she didn’t pick up the choreo right away), when you’re supposed to uplift and adapt to the strengths and weaknesses of your students. Todrick, to me, is alright, but he needs more guidance to be great
While I do agree with almost all of what you are saying, in regards to how extra critical Yanis was with Rajah. During the episode he asked the girls if they had any dancing experience, only Brooklyn and Rajah stated they had background in dancing. Rajah told him she had a background in multiple dancing styles and Brooklyn said she was a professional ballet dancer. So by admitting you have experience and or expertise your putting yourself in a place where high expectations are placed. There were various other queens that were doing much worse but because they never claimed to have a dancing background there was low to no expectation of them (Silky and Scarlet). On the other end we have Brooklyn who was able to keep up which was expected because of her previous statement. So between these two ends we have Rajah where because she decided to hype herself up she put herself in a place where Yanis was expecting her to act like a experienced or professional dancer when she wasn’t or was simply rusty. As she later states that she had a gap of 15 year of her dancing consistently, but she doesn’t divulge this until she’s being dunked on which comes off as an excuse, she most likely wouldn’t have had this happen if she didn’t say anything about her dancing background but then she wouldn’t have gotten as much screen time as she did in this episode. Again I agree that Yanis wasn’t a good fit because he’s expecting a lot from a group who have different levels of dancing experience and he’s used to people who dance professionally and can keep with fast paces. And when queens can’t keep up he resorts to insult because I’m guessing that what he used to doing again to professional who deal with this type of “motivation” and are probably better at handling it. Just wanted to give a probable cause of why he is digging into Rajah more. Of course you can’t rule out that it’s a reality show it that it thrives off drama and it’s the editing.
i think todrick is talented but ive always had an issue with how he can be rude and then put a LOT of unneccesary pressure on the queens. i LOOOVE Jamal. its always a treat seeing him on the show and i LOVE seeing him on the panel cause he is always into whatever the queens are doing during the lip syncs. i LOVE his energy. i was watching all stars 6 for the first time the other day and during the super bowl performance rehearsals, it was so cool seeing him be positive and patient. even when yara was like "shakira doesn't do that" he was still super calm and respectful about how shakira doesn't do that move every time. I know todrick would have been super rude to yara. i hope we see so much more of jamal!! :'D
YES there is always so much pressure from Todrick. Always like "this is tough af but it's DR so you need to kill it" and "you have to sing while you do it now, if you don't you never get it." In the end it always looks good, but it doesn't create an environment where it's comfortable to learn choreo imo.
jamal is definitely my fav, you can really tell he wants the absolute best for each queen and knows exactly how to adapt to each girl
also i love how he lives when the queens are doing their own thing, you can just see from his face how supportive he is.
6:50 Uhh, NOPE, Read U Wrote U was not choreographed by Todrick Hall, it was the incredible Travis Wall who did the choreography for that one.
thank you! The Wiki messed me up cause it has Todrick credited
Honestly I just think about how when Jujubee was lost in the choreo and Todrick asked what part she was missing and she said "All of it" and Todrick fell down laughing
Jamal is my favorite. Not only is he very good looking (when he wore a tank top in S13 tho.. just wow. ❤️) But I love when he's uplifting the queens and changed his routine for example Gottmik. And Gottmik KILLED it in the challenge!
Whereas with Todrick, I can't remember what season it was but one queen wasnt picking up the choreography as fast as he'd like to and he looked at them like: "How DARE you not dance?!" And made a shady remark at being in the bottom tomorrow. That pissed me off.
Jamal is a sweetheart and the sexiest guy.
Todrick is shady, I can’t deny he’s super talented and amazing but his attitude and ways tarnish his work
You should check out clips of Fosse. It'll break your heart.
One comparison I'd like to bring up between Todrick and Jamal is how they handled queens who were "difficult": Jamal handled Yara quite calmly and professionally on AS6, while Todrick went down on Nina Bonina's level on S9. That alone is very telling on who knows how to de-escalate tense situations and level with the queens, and who is just there to bring drama.
As someone with a background of dance I love love LOVE Jamal. He truly is a great chorographer in that he is fully aware of his dancers limits and fully embraces positive reinforcement . If a chorographer cannot accommodate their dancers than imo they aren't that good.
Jamal is great and has good chemistry with the queen's, I'd love to see Alyssa doing more choreography. I don't think Todrick will be getting very many job offers. He did himself no favours in BB
Heh I see you also had the displeasure of watching him on BB. I was thinking about doing my own analysis on why he was so unenjoyable to watch on the show compared to other reality show “villains” we actually liked watching.
@@nootnewt9323 please do
I’ve personally worked with Hollywood Jade and taken class from Yanis. Hollywood is a hard ass but only to bring out the best in performers. That’s why the girls (even the ones who aren’t dancers) continue to book him after the show for further work. I’ve seen it plenty of times off the show, he will go hard and ask you to go 100% and if you put in your all and it doesn’t work that way? He will modify it so you shine but he needs you to at least try first. On the topic of Yanis, he’s a talented choreographer and a horrible teacher. Just saying mean things that didn’t motivate anyone. Like I’m all for having a thick skin but also why don’t we create environments (especially educational ones) where thick skins aren’t needed? Also like it wasn’t like there was anything constructive to his insults, so it wasn’t even like “let me take this negative critique and learn from it” it was just negativity. His teaching style was very “this is the choreo” catch it or be left behind.
My sister is a professional dancer/does musical theatre, and has said such similar things. The way you guys are berated, so often in a completely non constructive way, is so upsetting to me, and is such a toxic environment to be learning in. I work in medicine, and if I concisely insulted and berated my students like that, I'd be struck off! I've had some awful mentors in my life, but nothing quite as awful as my sister. What you said about having a thick skin, but that you shouldn't need one in an an educational environment, rings so true to me.
Wait, who's Hollywood Jade?
@@beatm6948 He was on Canada's Drag Race a couple of times
I mean, as an ex pro ballerina in one of the most famous Opera in the world, I’m not shocked by this. I know it’s not great but it’s what we’re used to. In a drag race context or an amateur class I completely agree with the criticism made in this video, however in a pro setting, I think it’s part of the job. Of course, no harassment lol, just hardcore teaching.
I don't remember exactly what happened but years ago there was some incident with Yanis where he ended up getting dragged for being disrespectful in the ballroom scene. Not surprising considering how he speaks to people.
A double rainbow occurs when sunlight is reflected twice inside a raindrop. If you look closely, you can see that the colors of the secondary rainbow appear in reverse order.
when i see todrick, i’m reminded of how my sister saw him at a blm protest doing a photo shoot the entire time
todrick is undeniably talented but it just makes me sad how he treats the queens, not everyone is a trained dancer
I personally don’t like Todrick as a choreographer, not because he isn’t good at it but I think he mostly cares about his screen time than making sure the queens look good
Laganja needs to choreograph them
I’m always excited when Jamal is the choreographer. He’s one of my favorite people. He seems like he’s an amazing person to be around.
I wish you went into detail on cdr’s choreographers bc both times on each season where a choreographer was involved earlier in the season it was so uncomfortable watching all the queens that couldn’t dance or keep up with the choreo. In cdr2 especially the choreographer Hollywood jade (?) looked personally offended when his choreo was executed on the stage, even tho a majority of the queens weren’t dancers and they only had a day (or maybe less than that) to rehearse.
I’ll make a part 2!
That was Jade both times lol. It's just him that sucks.
“What makes a good drag race girl group song?!”
It’s on my list!!
@@JackFedYT bing bang bong, what could go wrong 😎
I cannot remember who was choreographer for Cher the Rusical, but whoever that was, they were shady as heck by basically telling The Vixen to do Beyonce's Single Ladies choreo when she was supposed to be giving Cher
Todrick
Oh my god, the WORST choreographers are the two who did the Herstory of the world Rusical on AS2!!!
I think the best choreographers on the show, are the ones that actually listen to the queens and their concerns. Like adapting choreo for someone who maybe isn't the best dancer, rather than giving them something so beyond their skill level, that its just setting them up for failure from the word go. And of course actually taking care of queens who maybe need extra adaptions, due to injury or illness. As someone who suffers with chronic pain (like Yvie), I know I would have appreciated those small touches, without it being made a huge deal. I definitely think Alyssa and Jamal do this, and so well, and I appreciate it so much.
I completely agree with this video! The problem with trying to bring in choreographers from other backgrounds is their expectations. I know Hollywood Jade from Canadas Drag Race is a Broadway performer and choreographer, so I'm sure he came in with the same mindset that he has for his other jobs. The problem is, everyone on Broadway is a very skilled dancer who's in the show because they can keep up with complex choreo. Drag Race has queens of wildly different backgrounds, the winner of the competition could never have to do a highly choreographed dance in their day to day work. That's why I do have to give Jamal, Alyssa, and even Todrick praise because they know exactly what they're getting into. For outsiders such as Yanis and Hollywood Jade, they expect the queens to match their choreography no matter what. But those familiar with Drag Race know that they're working for the queens and adjust their expectations accordingly.
Great video. Thank you Jack. I have been a competitive dancer for 18 years now; almost all of my 25 year life. I have so many thoughts about the dance challenges. It is so disheartening to watch some of the guest choreographers on these episodes.
What makes a good dance teacher: A guide and expert who knows pedagogy, learning tools, tricks, things like that. A person who levels the playing field for all of their dancers. A person who never gives up on their students. A person who will stay at the studio until you get it right. A person who knows how to give a mix of positive and critical feedback. Jamal comes the closest to this in my opinion. Unlike some of the other guest choreographers, Jamal's presence on a dance challenge always makes me so happy and relieved. He's great
TL,DR version: we need more Jamal so the queens feel inspired and we all flood our basements.
I would love a part 2 with all the international choreographers 🦋
If you do so, can you talk about the one from ukvstw? I had really good vibes from him
good idea!!!
@@fluffysprout Johannes Radebe? He's a legend
I LOVE TODRICK SLANDER!!!!!!! GET HIS ASS!
Anyone who lies that they own an expensive house to his viewers and then have the nerve to add their amazon link where fans can buy him his toiletries definetly deserves to be put in his place
Todrick for me has had very high high's purely in terms of his choreo like with Read U Wrote U and also Category Is but he's also had plenty of dull choreography that seemed to take less into account the challenge at hand being presented and more into shoving in a "signature style" of his that doesn't really mesh with the characterizations going into these girl group or rusical challenges. Compared to say Jamal who does seem to take into account the challenge and tries to match choreo to what's actually happening in the tone and lyrics of the challenge
Travis Wall choreographed Read U Wrote U
I know a few people who took classes with Yannis Marshall and they all said he was mean as hell lmao
I think Jamal is the most adored and liked non-competitor by the fandom - and he deserves it! But I'd love to see Laganja come in and teach the queens some choreography
i genuinely don't know why they thought anyone would enjoy watching todrick be an asshole to the queens. did they think we'd be like "yaaaaassss!" while he was putting them down?
I think with Yanis it's also the fact that he teaches dance masterclasses so he's used to working with people with a specific/same Level of experience as opposed to drag race where you have extremely different experience levels.
Jamal is both fine as fuck and he a talented choreographer so we have no choice but to stan and we love that ✨
We really need more previous Ru Girls educating other Ru girls on this show.
Loving your output lately! You're making so much quality content. Such a treasure of a channel
also Yanis’s choreo not even being in the main challenge was so confusing to me but also hilarious
And outside of DR Jamal did we don’t talk about Burno so iconic all around
I had no idea that's amazing!
I don’t know if it was said, but I want to fix misinformation: Travis Wall choreographed “Wrote U Read U” and Todrick Hall choreographed “Category Is.” Both iconic finale challenges on Drag Race.
Jamal can respectfully disrespect my body. With consent.
That moment between Jamal and Widow has stuck with me. It’s such a beautiful moment of humanity and kindness in the middle of a hectic rehearsal; it’s such a simple gesture but it means so much.
love that jamal listens & adjusts. and while yes i cant stand todrick he is a great choreographer. id love to see laganja on the show as a choreographer!
What about Travis Wall? He arguably choreographed the most iconic song ever and is the most revered in the actual dance world.
someone here in the comments said that him and his partner were accused of harrassing dancers, so maybe that's why he was omitted
7:21 a sequence you can hear even if there's no music
Jokes aside, great video! I'd totally forgotten about Yanis Marshall. You should definitely do a part 2 with international choreographers!
I swear everytime you post a video I get so excited !
You do such great deep dives and analysis of the building blocks that make up dragrace
I appreciate the thought and hard work that goes into these videos.. Thanks for sharing!
It feels like Todrick decided to make it as difficult as possible for the fans to support him as a person, but he's undoubtedly a fantastic choreographer.
Giving you a boost!! Love your deep dives
I really appreciate your topic choices! It shows you put a lot of thought and effort into giving us your point of view and something new to think about.
I have literally been binging all of your videos the last 2 days and nobody can stop me
can you make a video about how untucked has drastically changed? i mean not that i completely hate the new format but the old format to me was super entertaining and felt like its own type of show, the new one just feels like bonus behind the scenes footage where the girls cry and bond (partially to avoid death threats from fans). what do you think?
Great job, Jack!😊
I love Jamal Sims. He's one of my favourites. He's so nice and so encouraging. The way he adjusted for Widow when she was hurt was so sweet.
Ahhh this is such a great idea for a video! Loved this!
Love all your videos Jack, including these quick bites!!! Cant wait to see your channel grow tenfold❤
LOVE THISSS!!!! teachers/coaches/ choreographers can make all the difference especially when queens are in such a vulnerable state.
What a great topic. I enjoyed the video.
Jack man I love listening your voice! ❤❤❤
This is my favorite of your videos so far. Thank you for it. The creative elements of Drag Race are what I love most. I enjoy seeing people learn things they don't know and grow as artists and people. I wish they would show a lot more of that. In greater detail. Learning to sew. Challenges that test their makeup skills. Teach them some improv! Dance is one of my favorite things in the world and I am grateful they bring on professional choreographers and I love that you and others are talking about what makes a good choreographer and a good dance. I hope they bring Laganja on to develop a choreo. Both she and Alyssa work with children as well as do drag so they have a lot of cross-over skills that make them uniquely good at choreographing for Drag Race.
This is awesome! Keep doing these. I'm a dancer and a drag race fan, and I had never even thought to compare the different styles. There's so much we can get into and these soundbites shed new light on those!
And I love seeing these comments from fellow dancers. Personally, I think there needs to be balance. I went to a dance program where everything was "good job" all the time that made people feel like they were doing better than they were. Sure, it felt nice at the time, but doing summer intensive programs or auditioning just showed how we were not as far as we thought we were. On the flip side, the running joke about "ballet trauma" is very much real. We didn't grow from being torn down. Being encouraging and uplifting towards the queens while also being honest about how they look is the way to go. And I think Jamal, Todrick and Alyssa did that. Your choreo is only as good as the dancers' ability to execute it.
My ex went to Yanis class once, He wasn't the best teacher and the nicest person ☠
He looks like one of those gays that confuses being sassy with being rude
I really enjoyed your analysis. This is my first video of yours!
These short videos are really fun^^
I do love your videos and pumping the algo so thank you :) new sub, wonderful analasys and video editing
y'all know jamal simms choreographed encanto? He was the man who put the moves to We Don't Talk About Bruno!!!
This was a great video! I love seeing more drag race analysis, subscribed immediately ✨👍
Loving your videos Jack!!! Keep up the great work :)
i like this video idea a lot!! hoping to see that next video soon 💝
LOL the choreo for Not Sorry Aboot It in Canada, woooof
That judge on season 11 pissed me off. How do u expect the queens to pick up your choreography when you are discouraging them. That judge really needed to know his place and not come in all entitled and bitchy to the queens.
I’ve choreographed a few competition routines for myself (I’m no professional though) and my number one rule is adjust if something isn’t working. If you can nail something simple then it’s going to look so much better than something that is complicated for complication sake and then done sloppily. Jamal has always worked within the girls abilities and adjusted his teaching style to how they learn best, it’s such a great way to teach.
I loved Travis- I was obsessed with him on so you think you can dance, and seeing him on the show was great! He didn’t showcase much of a personality like Toderick from what I remember, so I can why he wouldn’t be great for the show
wow you really deserve more subscribers!
Great video and I can't believe I got mentioned at the end!
:)
I know so little about dance and choreo, but have always gravitated towards Jamal and was excited whenever he'd be in an episode. This really helped me articulate how much there is to love about him coaching them, and he really is my gold standard for dance instructors and professionals overall that come to help the queens on the show 💕
I honestly love your videos so much, so thank you for making this! Your voice is so soothing and I really appreciate your thoughtfulness and point of view. I've remember watching season 1 of RPDR in my friend's basement when I was 18, and being absolutely star struck and elated from seeing so many LGBTQ+ people in one show. And I'm still here, loving to see such great content analyzing and talking about it. Sorry to ramble, but basically, thank you for doing what you do! I get so excited when I see a new video of yours pop up. I hope you have a fantastic week :)
im a jamal stan fr
Also, Jamal is talented, kind, AND attractive af. Like, what does he NOT have???????
For sure im sub and you are amazing!! You deserves more 💕
1st, You're right about your first point, Alyssa was a great chorographer. And it makes me wonder why there hasn't been more queens in that role. It seems like a win win to have someone realistic/reliable AND supporting a past queen.
2nd, Jack, imo you are genuinely putting out the best drag race content out there!
I was so excited to see Travis Wall as a choreographer in some of the earlier seasons (like I know definitely he was on season 5) and he always has amazing choreography and always works well with the performers. Honestly wish he would go on the show more, especially since he hasn’t been on the recent seasons
Jamal is so patient, humble & handsome. Just a all-around gentleman.✨️
There have been so many Ru girls that are talented dancers/choreographers. I think they should bring back RPDR alums to choreograph more often!
Mo's face when she was trying to do the cartwheel had me deceased.
I don’t remember who said it or what episode of the Pit Stop, but I swear one queen was asked about what it was like being taught chereography by both Jamal and Todrick. I distinctly remember the queen talking about how uplifting and supportive Jamal is, but that’s all I can remember.
just commenting to help boost your channel! Your amazing!
Big fan of Travis Wall (not just cuz he's adorable) but Jamal is alwaysssssss wonderful. Alyssa never disappoints either and it's nice seeing her act as a mentor to future seasons of drag race. truly legendary
