      When Sharon walked on the first runway and did the spooky-ooky drag with the fake blood, the whole course of the show changed. She influenced so much and you can see it in the queens after her season. Love her or not, she is a pioneer.

      Antonio Amador Unfortunately, human emotions still will get in the way. The only positive (or logical) thing we can think of is that there will always be pain and processes to slowly heal from that pain.

      But of course Alaska will always feel grateful for the presence of Sharon Needles in her life .... she won All Stars 2 because she borrowed so much from Sharon Needles, Sharon let her use quite a bit of her ideas I think and it transformed her from previously being the sweet girl next door to someone with a bigger stage presence ..

    • @rebeccab5481

      No T No Shade I think she loves all attention & as long as the question is respectful & on Alaska's terms she doesn't mind talking about Sharon. (To a point that is, not at nauseam)

    • @kashinimeyo
      @kashinimeyo Před 6 lety +40

      She even talks about their breakup in one of her songs. I don't think it bothers her so much. It's a part of her life that she needed to go through in order to get to where she is now, as she says in The T, she misses the relationship but she knows it couldn't have worked because they're better apart. I don't think she hates talking about the break up because people who hate talking about a breakup are guilty and bitter. I don't think Alaska hates the time they spent together and I think she's really grateful for Sharon, so she has no reason to look back and hate it. She's also an entertainer, she wants to be in people's thoughts, she wants to leave an impression. Part of drag is facing society and make them think about your piece no matter how positively they embrace it. She owes a lot of her fame to that relationship and breakup. She acknowledges it herself, very, very, publicly. I don't think she ever views it as "omg can you guys talk about something else" because that's literally a part of her life and her following doesn't actually talk about it all that much. For her to overreact to pretty much a dead and quiet reaction by the public (I'm trying to say no one really cares about their breakup anymore really) now would show just how unworthy she is- and she's not. She's very worthy of what she has now and she's handling this publicity (or lack thereof because literally no one but new fans care now) very, very maturely and like congenial individual. It's one reason to make this video-- so everyone knows.

      I know Alaska has taken some of Sharon's ideas, for example during the All Stars, she recycled Sharon Needle's Mae West gag from a few years ago (you can see Sharon doing the Mae West impression in one of their "Camping" episodes from a few years ago)..
      There is however no evidence from you that Sharon Needles has borrowed anything from Alaska, at least not in any observable obvious ways. I don't appreciate how you're trying to lessen Sharon Needles's role in influencing Alaska's stage personality ... its sneaky, its like refusing to give credit to someone by saying that the influence is both ways, thats a very disengenous and ungrateful thing to do ...

    It's amazing how almost 5 years after their split, Sharon and Alaska still talk about each other a lot and think so highly of one another. I honestly think Sharon was the love of Alaska's life and it's really hard to fully get over someone who you were madly in love with and who changed/impacted your life in so many ways. Their relationship might've been toxic, especially towards the end, but it's still sad that they didn't end up working out.

    It was kinda good that they broke up even tho how loved that couple was I think when you have two superstars in one relationship one has to come forward and the other has to fall behind or your relationship is just going to be chaos and unfortunately that was Alaska and even tho we all knew she supported Sharon 100% and never seemed bitter it must of caused a lot of tension for Alaska never being able to shine as brightly as we know she can but now that that’s gone Alaska can now truly be a superstar and what a total superstar she has become but still Sharon+Alaska R.I.P. GOAT and it also cool that they can tour together and be friends and they have had nothing but good things to say about the other

    I really think that Raja laid the ground of Sharon to be appreciated and ultimately win the crown. Raja came with this unconventional avant-garde kinda drag that was met with disdain from her fellow competitors as "unpolished" and not as good as the conventional pageant drag.
    Sharon definitely brought something new, or more like the producers of the show, depending on who you ask 😜 But I definitely think that Raja isn't credited enough on breaking the mold on the show.
    Love Alaska and hope she comes back for All Winners 2!

    You are right Sharon changed it. But Alaska did too. The difference between Alaska on drag race to Alaska on All Stars is AMAZING! Really AMAZING! Alaska found who she was and that is beautiful!

    It is refreshing to see a public breakup and it be civil.
