i still sing "i am a professional" in my head when someone tries me at work lmao
Haha me too
+Galaxy Hearts This is really ppppppppppppppppp-professional. Just got me loving it ALL OVER!
Jocelyn Evelyn me too this is my comeback when someone talks smack "who you checking boo not you cause I'm a pro
Jocelyn Evelyn haha
Same. I have said "I'm here to work" out loud and then the rest plays in my imaginary mind.
me at job interview: i came to WERK *death drop *
interviewer: YAAAAAASSSSSBIIITTTCH
Bepperoni lol
Bepperoni lol im dieing!!!!!!!! i need to do this
YAAAS KWEEEN SERVE IT MAWMAAA!
lol hilarious
YAAAS BITCH WERK *gia gunn voice*
Shangela had the face and personality to be the next ru Paul.
Kesha InMyCasa I don't get why everyone hates her
Richmond Caguioa i never saw her seasons I've only seen seasons 4-9
@@richmond9618 she was a b**** because everyone was attacking just her
*has
my favorite, the best are the texas queens
Nothing but respect for my All Star!
SHE WAS FUCKING ROBBED FFS
Naufal Da Potaytah Bizkitt so?
Yes
Before Rihanna's 'work' britneys 'work bitch' and 'work from home' there was werqin girl. I remember when this came out I didn't know anything about rpdr. This is ICONIC
Ikr this is the OG work right here
I wouldn't call it OG considering Rupaul had Supermodel years before. But a fantastic song for sure (still my favorite out of any drag race girl).
YOU FORGOT THE SCHUYLER SISTERS
Same. Shangela was one of the first drag queens I found. Totally changed my life. I mean I'm married with a drag queen I can't even tell in words how much this community changed my life in good.
Same, lol i knw nothing about drag queen before. I first saw her at dance moms, and this song so catchy then it lead me to this, i thought she is a REAL woman 😂
Of all the other Queens, Shangela is the only one who could ever match RuPauls star power.
Saavik Wilcox-Hamilton yes n when he was On season 2 he was only doing drag 5 months before
she's finally on fleek ! i
I disagree Bianca, katya, Alaska, and many a queen are coming for ru
Asia’s Butterflies yeah for sure lolll
@@wilmafistfit4788 Alaska, idk and Katya wouldn't do it let's be honest. She could but she wouldn't
Rupaul said this is her favorite song/music video of all the drag race girls.
When did Ru say this? I wouldn't be surprised. Its so addicting! Shangela totally kills it!
+TheN92 on her podcast. Shangela was a guest.
+GummyTumor Oh awesome. Thanks. This is def one of the BEST songs/videos of all the drag race girls. Shangie served it. Shes fierce! Do you know where I could see/hear the podcast? I hear Ru has a lot of his drag race girls as her guests. Never been able to see one
+TheN92 they are on Soundcloud! You should be able to find it searching for "RuPaul Podcast"
that's probably coz it sounds like one of rupaul songs
All stars 3 has just ended actually makes me sad watching this, Shangela was fully robbed, that is the biggest robbery that drag race has ever seen! forever and always I will be #TeamShangela
Jonah Greenfield seriously. i dont know how the other queens chose trixie over her...
clara you mean you can't believe the other queens chose Kennedy over Shangela like seriously the only reason why they chose her was because Kennedy went on about how she felt like she has nothing going on for her while saying shangela and trixie do (which is true) but the queens basically pitted her.... so no trixie and shangela should have been the finally 2 but shangela should have no doubt won
Yessss
Rhonda Lumpkins AMEN SISTA¡¡¡ the painful and shity true, damn shady ladies of all stars 3
Oh
Shangela is a god damn superstar
Out of all the drag race gurls this music video is the best one
aintnobodygottimefadat
Shangela L. Wadley Omgosh is this really you!!! Lol 😀
Shangela L. Wadley I LOVE U FOR GIVING NIA THE AATENTION THAT MADDIE GETS KEEP UP TJE GOOD WORK WERK IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Tatyana Wright who is nia?
+aintnobodygottimefadat girl on dance moms
Blasts this as i walk into a job interview 😁
Jai Dez gurl!! 😂
this is what I sing walking into School everyday.
LISTENING TO THIS 10 YEARS LATER
When you think that for two seasons many queens were mocking her for not having enough experience... Take that, bitches, THAT is talent. Girl, she got everything, gorgeous, funny, and she sure can bust a move !
Don't need much experience when you have natural talent.
kweenz, lol, more like gutter "queens"
Guilty pleasure is this song
C'mon, Yoda syntax!
HeyMyLifeIsLibby OMG Jinx monsoon shit-talked your hating comment
mariah knox #
*violently dances*
You're a pro!
Professional !
All Stars 3 baby! Hope you win.
Daniel Pena SHE WILL WIN
i hope too ! she deserves it sooooooo, so bad !
CEA250302 123 shut up bitch, you must be a Trixie Velour fan!
I've got some bad news..
They robbed her.
My boyfriend hates me when i play this. lol like he literally gets mad hahahaha.
he betta werk
Well it is pretty damn awful XD It's not for everyone.
probably cause the makers of this song are actually dudes but love penis just as much as you if not more and like to dress like women
Haha same xD I end up singing it whenever I get a kill on a game with him.
I fell like you are gonna get dumbed in a few weeks XD
The fact that Shangela has higher quality videos than Ru is hilarious.
Gagging over the video still, looks amazing 😍
Yussss all tea ☕ no shade ️🌴
+Ivor Putnam objectively the production is better.
Ivor Putnam It isn't
Lord have mercy. I need this song to play every time someone enters my office. I'm working too hard, why am I only seeing this in 2016?
Catherine Johnson I saw it a year after u
I'm only seeing this in 2020 imagine how I feel I missed everything
@@shannontyrell8256 2021
Can we just talk about how this has always been a bop and how well it has aged compared to a lot of other RPDR alumni songs? Shangela was obviously always destined for that upper echelon xoxo
I mean now that I’m older it’s even boopier like I’m living
I'm sending this everywhere in place of a CV
Shangela has such a huge personality and a lot of talent, she really just needs to keep working on improving her overall aesthetic. I see a lot of improvement here from her RPDR days, though!
+Alexa Shelby A LOT TALENT? HAHAHAHHA U KIDDING SHE IS MONST UNTALENTED QUEEN EVER.
+1235Timbo Untalented? You must be a blind bitch. She's very talented! Did you not see this video? Not only that she also has so much charisma. She has improved so much since her drag race days.
+1235Timbo She is also the only queen to be I two different seasons. Ru knows where the talent is at
AS3
Noah well Eureka will be on 2 seasons
Bruh this song is so addictive . And she's fucking gorgeous .
Gamerboy blue No, I meant she .
Drag persona is a she
Gamerboy blue Well if he said "He was attractive" he would be referring to his appearance OUT of drag. So 'She" the character is being referred to. Not that complicated. Stop arguing semantics.
Gamerboy blue yes really is he but the character Shangela is she
Josh NoneYa I KNOW RIGHT!
10yrs later and this is still legendary 🙌. I love shangela's glow up b/c they counted her out on Rupauls Drag Race🥰🥰🥰
Facts
Still better than most of the auto tuned, tone deaf queens from recent seasons
+Bianca Del Taco No T no shade ;)
preach
+Bianca Del Taco And their boogie videos.
José Olivares not sure if that means shit but I'll take it
cough cough •VIOLET CHACHKI• cough cough 🙃
15 minutes before a life changing interview I listened to this song. I was hired on the spot. I give all credit to Laquifa :)
When I feel overwhelmed with school or work and am just generally having a bad day, I put this song on. It embodies how I want to feel about my job and my schooling.
Yassssssss! Same here....
Timothy Bodey That's so smart! Gonna try that!
You were robbed. Robbbbbbbbed. I’ll be playing this on a loop for condolences.
Taylor Landers RIGHT
How was she robbed

When they paid tribute to Sahara, I almost cried
Omar me too, made me tear up a bit
Who's sahara

D G.G. s2 girl who died, they actually went to college together.
Sahara Davenport, she was a Season 2 contestant and boyfriend of Manila Luzon, passed away from oral cancer xx
"I'm a professional," this is Chad Michael's theme song.
I'm livin' for Yara Sofia in the background! R.I.P Sahara Davenport. Shangela and the rest of RPDR girls will not forget you.

wait in what part
Yara sahidi??
Yara Sofia...
All I have to say is...
HALLELU!!!!!
Shangela, love you girl. In my heart you're a winner ❤
I still love this! Shangie should do a 2018 remake of this video (for when she wins All-Stars 3!) of people dancing to this at their 9-5 jobs including Ru and the judges and some of the other queens too. That would be so ❤️❤️❤️.
i KNEW i heard that part somewhere before. shangela is an angel for giving lesser known artists such a platform for starting their careers 😩 a true professional
she needs to be in All Stars 3 .. third times a charm ;)
luisreloade16 she’s currently slaying it
Looks like it wasn't meant to be
More like 3rd times a robbery...riggor morris!!
She needs to be a judge
After watching this I'm addicted to yelling HALELU! every time I walk out of a room.
Look at my baby Yara 😍😍
If youre listening to this on repeat, worried this iconic hit is going to get old, it wont.😘
"You better get into it!"
And
"Professional?!" The way Jenifer says it. Are a part of my everyday vocabulary. For years now 😭
I'm Maddie. Put me at the top of the pyramid 😂😂
Watch Yara Sofia doing random shit in the background 😂 I love Yara and Shangela
I love how Shangey is smiling through the whole thing
Gurl, she came a long way, paid her dues, got the whole world screaming, hallelu!
bad economy can't stop her. She's gonna work no matter what!
#shecametowork
#professional
#servingit
Still my favorite queen
Is that Yara Sofia in the video...Yasssss I live miss Shangela. I love Shangela so much!!!! One of my favorite queens from the series.
Amazing. No one combines Ball Culture, with a House flavor, and pulls it off as a super drag performer like Shangela! Wow! Bravo baby! I live for all of it! Yes I do!
I still have butterflies from meeting Shangela. 😙😙😙💝
very catchy i love shangela she is amazing
He*
***** Tell her hunty!
Only God knows how many times I've watched this video. Shangela is so beautiful and feminine. Yara's smile gets me every time man.
Yara Sofia looks so good here! Queen 😍😍
one of the very few with a big personality that I didn't fucking hate
This song always gives me some much needed pep :)
I have never seen anyone look so good with rollers in their hair x
Lmao that intro... And Leave your mother's at home *sassy look*
Can't help but move to this beat🥰
This needs to be played at my funeral
My best friend is a dancer. And this song is like the theme song of her life. They danced to this song. And so every single time. AND i mean EVERY.SINGLE.TIME we are in the car we play it. And it was soo fun. And it was amazing. And it always gets a reaction of people in cars next to us. And she had a dance comp. a couple weeks ago in Hershey, PA. And they took me and we listened to this song probaly at least 15 times.
You can’t get any more drag than this right here. ICONIC.
I´ve always loved Shangela. It´s awsome to see her grow into a full fucking butterfly. You´ve come a long way since 2011
Now I am here Born in the 90s watching Ru Pauls' Drag Race in 2019 Season 2 with my sister and being like: Is that Laquifa out of my Young ages ... We like no ... after then Hearing Ru Paul saying: Halelu ... I came here to check Things and found the biggest throwback in my life
Shangela is so FIERCE!
I told myself I wasn't going to cry. Loving memory indeed.
It's 4:30 am. How am I supposed to sleep after discovering this? And I loves me some Shangela❣ Color me late🎉🥳
Shangela, you finally made it over 1 million! congrats!!!
Yaaaaaaaasssssss!!!!
Slay tha house down boots.
The blue fur coat miss Lewis wore is the same one Shangie wore on AS3E4 in the werk room for the Snatch game... I love it!
Love seeing Yara Sofia too!
nothing but respect for MY all stars 3 winner
Halleloo, this is sickening, Shangela.
You will always be my favourite season 3 queen.
Love Shangela, need her in my life constant.
2:58 shangela being iconic 8 yrs before Cardi
OMG here i a 9 years later and it's still the bop
I said:
Laquifa!!!
She said:
WHAT!!!
I said:
You better be on all stars 2
she said:
BITCH IM ALREADY A COMPLETE ALL STAR
When I went on a job interview for the position of a Teacher's Assistant a few years ago, I was thinking "I came to work" and "I am a professional", since most of the jobs that I applied for and went on interviews, nobody got back to me. A few days after my interview at the place I was applying for as a Teacher's Assistant, the interviewer called me back and told me, unfortunately, that all the positions were full. I was so devastated and confused because I thought that the interview went really well, which it did. I did everything that my job coaches told me to do, and I do have experience working with younger children in a preschool, but I still didn't get the job. I've also applied for working in retail stores and grocery stores, but none of those ended very well. One of them even lasted for only five minutes. After five minutes, the interview was over. Either I didn't meet the right credentials or they just didn't want to hire me. Probably both...
FANTASTICO!!!! WoW, Shangela, one can clearly see your growth, love!!!! You def have STAR QUALITY now and I am so looking forward to watching you put it to WERQ, gurl. I predict a very long, happy and successful career for you. AWESOME!!!! Bravo!!! Brava!!! Love that Yara Sofia is in the vid & your dedication to Sahara. Halleloo!
And you have over 1.24 million views!!! That is so HOT and well deserved!!! Rock on, Shangela!!!!
I will show this to my children one day
I just heard this amazing song the other day. It is truly motivating to get to work!!!! THANK YOUUUUU
I love hearing Shangela’s voice. She’s so real and so beautiful! Can’t get enough of her!
LUV this song. Play it everyday on my way to Werk!
It's so early 90s! I love it!
I love love love her, she is everything. So talented and so beautiful.. I wonder how her leg is doing I heard she broke it a little while back
You mean him.

I love Shangela . She did a Birthday Cameo for me a couple of years ago. So sweet and I love this song. Can't believe it was 11 years old
Back when I had my first job and had such bad anxiety,I used to play this skng while getting ready for my shift to give me confidence 😂
