    After reading all of these comments I think there are two groups of viewers here. One group is the younger set that expected Tommie to be like the girls on RuPaul's Drag Race or their local club. The second group, of which I am a member, is over 50 and remember all of the titles Tommie has amassed in her career including Miss Gay America ! We are the survivors of the age of A.I.D.S. where our friends and loved ones died off in droves leaving us devastated . We fought for our rights to live our lives as we chose. Tommie is a part of this era and we are happy to see her still out there participating in life and reminding us that we too can,will and do go on. She is a Drag Legend and no one can take that from her.

      Amen. I am 52 years young, and remember some of her wins. I have been looking here on RUclips, and say that she hasn't changed, except the older she gets, the better she ages, or something like that. It's like, Wine tastes better the older it gets. Well, she is looking better and better everytime I see her here. And to me, she looks better than Diana Ross. Just my opinion. Yes we have gone through that age of where Aids took almost everyone around us, still does, But we have made it through, and we are still surviving. You have made a beautiful statement here, and I do Agree with you 100% and more. Hope you have a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. My name is Angela. Have a safe, blessed, and Wonderful day......

      +Todd Dixon There's a massive shift in the landscape, be it just doing drag, or being gay in general. The current younger generation are "Le Resistance" types that absolutely must shove their way of life and just how gay they are down everyone's throats. It's less culture and class, and more prancing around in a pink leotard calling yourself the biggest faggot with the strongest lisp you can muster.
      Drag Queens have it even worse, as there's a school of thought now that every drag queen is just trans and needs to be helped by being shown the light of "her" femininity. Which is basically the religious mindset that all gay men were actually women/trying to be women.
      You and yours, you have my sympathies. I'm sorry the new gen has made such a laughing stock of you.

      @Todd Dixon I hear what you have to say, and I can appreciate the journey.....trust me, I have attended my share and more of funerals saying goodbye way too soon.In my opinion, however, I would say that the majority of people attending this evening came to see a Drag Show. Tommie Ross did not perform this number. She walked out and collected some bills. I would venture to say that most anyone could do that.It might be tough, but you are only as good as your LAST performance. You, as a PERFORMER, do not get to ride the shirttails of what you have done in the past. If you can no longer perform, maybe it is time to consider retirement. I have seen the best of the best, all around the globe in my 67 years. This "performance" was insulting to the craft and the art of drag. Shame on you Miss Ross. Sorry Todd. I am not a confrontational person , nor do I appreciate rudeness, but this is how I feel about this 5 minutes and 16 seconds.

      You are correct! If it wasn't for Tommie, Erica Andrews, Tasha Kohl, Hot Chocolate, and all the others that paved the way for the RuPaul's and all the following generations of Drag Queens to come the drag world wouldn't be what it is and lets not forget the Grand Mothers of drag that started the Stonewall riots we wouldn't be where we are in the world Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera

    This is one of the most iconic things I have EVER EVER seen. Found Tommie by watching their performance of “Lucy in the Sky” for Miss Gay America. I WISH there was a version where I could see it better. But thankfully iI could see all the facial expressions and nuances as Tommie just broke THROUGH. Seriously. Tommie is an ARTIST. One can only strive to THIS level of perfection. I am using this image of Tommie just collecting her money like the gracious diva she is to help build me up and know that we deserve to be treated like the queens we are. ❤️❤️❤️

    Reading the comments I can tell that most of you aren’t really a fans of Tommie. She’s never been the girl that’s going to to be all over the stage. She’s old school meaning I should be able to command my audience by standing in one spot and she does. And she’s 60!

      I saw Diana a few months ago. Trust and believe she did not walk out on the stage and stand there, and she is 75 years old. She performed for 1.5 HOURS nonstop.....singing, dancing and very fast costume changes!! Then, of course, there was the encore!

    So Tommie Ross is a legend. I guarantee if she was on drag race she A- wouldn’t have to lip sync or B- would CRUSH any of these newbies lip syncing . She has paid her dues and did her time she doesn’t need to do high kicks and splits to prove her worth to the drag community.

  • @QweenElektra
    @QweenElektra Год назад +3

    She was performing to the audience members that were directly tipping her people! Tommie Ross is at a standard where only a select few can really critique her performing capabilities and even fewer I think would dare to tell her their thoughts to her face. I think what everyone in this comment section probably needs to realise is that she is not performing for us (as in those of us who get to watch this free on RUclips). She is performing for the audience members tipping her - who actually paid to attend Miss Continental in person. We are just watching a recording of her performing to them really, and so if an audience of people were to judge, it should be those who were in attendance and clearly they decided to tip her generously. So I think everyone in this comment section who thinks they have the 'right' to judge based on a free RUclips video should honestly sit down and shut up.

    For girls of Tommie’s generation it was all about how fishy you could be and, believe it or not, a girl who could stand before a microphone on a stand with her hands by her sides and who could sell the Hell out of a ballad was the best of the best. Try it sometime. It ain’t easy. You’re standing still for a room full of drunk queens who are looking you up and down and sideways. Tommie Ross is known for it and anything she ever did from Lady Sings The Blues was breathtaking.

      @jobuck879 6 лет назад +2

      simply sweet These young gals don't know how much of a legend she truly is. Ms Tommie has had more titles than they could ever hope to enter. Ms Tommie job is not to perform some dance number and do 17 death drops with 22 high kicks. She gets the people in the door. And if you know anything she really can't be running around and turning flips, nobody would be able to see...her fans always stand in front of the stage. I swear had she stayed back and "performed" then the complaint would have been that they can't see.

    I see many comments saying Tommie helped to pave the way and it's true.i remember seeing drag shows in 1981 after I just turned old enough and could get into bars.these are the people who deserve the title of bravery.they lived their lives open during a time when this was very much not accepted.catlin Jenner getting the title of bravery for being trans at a time when you are celebrated for being gay is not brave.most of the drag queens I knew had to somehow survive on the money they made in clubs because Noone else would hire them.during the nights they didn't perform they worked as the bartender or collected the admission fee at the front door.we also had the saying "don't label me"cause we wanted to be treated and seen as a person and not a title.now gays of today are just whiny children who must have some type of title.i saw one person who called themselves a pansexual lesbian non binary something something.who is going to care about all that?only their close circle of friends cause I can tell you Noone outside that circle is gonna give a low flying fuc about all that.

      I would assume that because of the amount of people getting up from their seats at the venue to tip her there really isn't much of her to actually perform and live the song to the fullest! She is an icon and has done it all! I personally would ask somebody to put a bucket infront of the stage where they can put the money and at the same time i would just concentrate on the song and give everybody the show of their lifetime.
