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 walking into my first shift at McDonald's
Wuahahahahahahahahahahhaaha o.k that's very nice.
PERIOD
ok alright
😂
D E A D
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 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
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 😂
Nothing but respect for my All Star!
SHE WAS FUCKING ROBBED FFS
Naufal Da Potaytah Bizkitt so?
Yes
LISTENING TO THIS 10 YEARS LATER
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
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
10yrs later and this is still legendary 🙌. I love shangela's glow up b/c they counted her out on Rupauls Drag Race🥰🥰🥰
Facts
You were robbed. Robbbbbbbbed. I’ll be playing this on a loop for condolences.
Taylor Landers RIGHT
How was she robbed
@@julianacheriza1575 As3
Hi
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
*violently dances*
You're a pro!
Professional !
All I have to say is...
HALLELU!!!!!
did anyone else immediately come here after hearing WAP bc it sounded familiar lmao
Absolutely! I heard WAP at work and was like... hold on. I heard this years ago
Yaaaaas I was wondering if cardi b used the same audio
Cardi stole the okurrrr of laganja & now this one
Ivone Torres I mean... you’re not wrong lok
That's right lol
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
'Figured it out like Nancy Drew'😂
#TulleGate
ol
Watch Yara Sofia doing random shit in the background 😂 I love Yara and Shangela
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.
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"
Shangela is a god damn superstar
“Who gone check me boo, NOT YOU......cause im a pro” 😅😂🤣 this song will never get old
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
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!
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
Me when im at the airport : Who gone check me boo not you
This needs to be played at my funeral
my fav was the end
"Don't call security on me! I came up from the elevator ill leave back down from the elevator."
yeaa omg *****
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 🙃
“I’m the next maddie”😂
I don't care how long ago this was done, it's still a good jam when I got to get shit done.
"I'm a professional," this is Chad Michael's theme song.
I'm sending this everywhere in place of a CV
Anyone here after the Cardi B Wap video ?
I KNEW IT
I did

Ion get it..
The real winner of AS3
The real winner is BenDeLaCreme :')
Sofía The Tuck not really.
C Nelson well, Shangela is “not really” too, so…
@@sofiathetuck4974 That would be debatable if she didn't eliminate herself.. 😬😐
Trixie Mattel won, just in case you missed the ending.... oh and
Blasts this as i walk into a job interview 😁
Jai Dez gurl!! 😂
this is what I sing walking into School everyday.
Guilty pleasure is this song
C'mon, Yoda syntax!
HeyMyLifeIsLibby OMG Jinx monsoon shit-talked your hating comment
mariah knox #
2:58 shangela being iconic 8 yrs before Cardi
2:59 cardi and megan explain ur self
one of the very few with a big personality that I didn't fucking hate
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
WAP sample reminded me of this, I was trying to find this all day 😩
Oh hi the winner of All Stars 3
Erick Matheus what happen to her
When they paid tribute to Sahara, I almost cried
Omar me too, made me tear up a bit
Who's sahara
a s3 girl that died
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 Maddie. Put me at the top of the pyramid 😂😂
nothing but respect for MY all stars 3 winner
Abby trying to be sassy moving her head has me dying every time I see this
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
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!
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
A thousand people disliked this....must’ve been every past contestant of Drag Race that didn’t win lmao. This song was, is and will always be #ICONIC!!! Shangela will win #AllStars3!!!!!
~Everytime Yara appear in the clip,I can only look to her~
yara is so pretty how could you not! ❤🌼
Kisueta Hamasaki Yas! Yara is gorgeous,she came here in my city,and I haven't see her,I 'm so so sad! ;^;
wait in what part
Yara sahidi??
Yara Sofia...
"I'M YO MADDIE!"
CRYINGGGGGGGGGG
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 😂
Am I the only one who just realize that this song exists?
Is Shangela had waited a good five years before going back on Rupaul's she could've won.
I agree because she is more fierce now
Totally agree
Here's a question for you though...would she be as fierce as she is now had she not been on the show already and made those connections and gotten those resources? I don't know either, just asking. PS LOVE Shangela!!!!
Charles Tyson if the time line is still the same and she came back season 7 ... she could have the tips from Miss Edwards, La Ganja and probably Vivi
Well bitch you're in luck because she's on AS3
Very vogue-ish. Love this!
Jairo Alvarez Thank you!
Shangela L. Wadley I love this first all u need to be on the top of the pyramid every week secondly when he tried to get your Popeye's I fell out Shangela L. Wadley
Shangela L. Wadley Love you kisses from Brazil!

Dear greetings from Germany! 😁😁
After last night nightmare. I come to console my queen
Shangela should’ve won All Stars 3!
I said:
Laquifa!!!
She said:

I said:

she said:
BITCH IM ALREADY A COMPLETE ALL STAR
After watching this I'm addicted to yelling HALELU! every time I walk out of a room.
ICONIC
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.
15 minutes before a life changing interview I listened to this song. I was hired on the spot. I give all credit to Laquifa :)

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
I remember seeing this when I was like 10 and thinking "What a fierce black woman", not knowing...😭😭
Lmao
I love how Shangey is smiling through the whole thing
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
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
McDonald’s Job Interviewer: why you think you’d be perfect for this job?
Me:
l mg Jenifer Lewis ...Priceless
Price.less.
''my name is LAQUIFA''
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 ❤️❤️❤️.
Who’s watching in 2021!
Me
me lol i still love this video
SOO much pop culture in ONE VIDEO!! Theres nothing left to EXPLOIT..
Oh my goodness... I wasn't ready for THEE Jenifer Lewis and her high kick at the end. I just about fell out of my chair!!! #RealTears
Shangela, love you girl. In my heart you're a winner ❤
If youre listening to this on repeat, worried this iconic hit is going to get old, it wont.😘
Rupaul just endorsed this as her favorite drag queen doll's song. Hallelooo. #vblessed #teamtalent
This song actually inspires me IRL. Along with Alaska's "This Is My Hair".
I have never seen anyone look so good with rollers in their hair x
The fact that this video makes no sense just makes it 10x better 💀😂
How have I JUST seen this?! I'm such a flop.
This song always gives me some much needed pep :)
The only thing close to supermodel *peaks around the corner makes sure milk isn’t listening *
It's 4:30 am. How am I supposed to sleep after discovering this? And I loves me some Shangela❣ Color me late🎉🥳
very catchy i love shangela she is amazing
He*
***** Tell her hunty!
Hallelu!
9 years later and it's still a B O P
"You better get into it!"
And
"Professional?!" The way Jenifer says it. Are a part of my everyday vocabulary. For years now 😭
