Product Description

You Better Work! is the phrase RuPaul coined and ultimately turned into a battle cry for the dance floor with the #1 dance classic SUPERMODEL (You Better Work). Now Miss Thing is back to work with the release of CHAMPION, a brand new album inspired by LOGO's new reality TV series RUPAUL's DRAG RACE.

The album is a sassy bouquet of rump shakers written and produced by RuPaul and Lucian Piane, the mastermind behind the viral smash BALE OUT - RevoLucian's Christian Bale Remix.

The first single COVER GIRL serves as the runway music on each episode of the television show. I feel ecstatically proud of this collection of songs that echoes a new spirit of hope and optimism that has swept our country.

From the undeniably infectious JEALOUS OF MY BOOGIE, DEVIL MADE ME DO IT and DESTINY IS MINE to the retro-disco inspired MAIN EVENT to the drag queen anthems TRANNY CHASER and LADYBOY, this album is designed to get the party started. The entire album is upbeat, even the more heartfelt songs like LET S TURN THE NIGHT and NEVER GO HOME AGAIN aren't shy when it comes to the beats per minute.

The album also features THROW YA HANDS UP a bonus duet with legendary drag queen Lady Bunny. I wanted to top this album off with something really special, as a keepsake for all the up and coming fabulous children, says RuPaul.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfection @ it's best!!, March 13, 2009

By	Kyle (Chesapeake, VA USA) - See all my reviews

I have to say that i've always been a fan of RuPaul...but, i've only liked a few of her songs like Supermodel, Snap Shot, & Looking Good Feeling Gorgeous. However, her album Champion is perfection at its best. This album is flawless to the point where i was wishing there were more tracks or some bonus tracks even!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm living RIGHT here! Champion is the tops!, March 26, 2009

By	Jerome A. Singletary (Maryland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I must admit, I am a die-hard, true blue fan of Ms. Charles....she was, is,and will always be the grande dame diva of them all. This album in a word ROCKS!!!!!! Main Event is evocative of the retro discos era, but gives you a contemporary base line that gets you primed and ready for a funtastic ride down Ru's lane of fabulosity! I just love this album. And the duet with lady Bunny just makes me wanna twirl! GREAT JOB RU!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Please Bring On RuPaul's Drag Race II and then III and then IV !, April 1, 2009

By	M. Campbell (Ann Arbor, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just received this cd and I agree -- its really, really good! It is a solid listen from top to bottom. I found myself enjoying being alive on this fine sunny spring day as I listened to it on the way to work. Nice! Spending time listening to this cd shows what "good energy" RuPaul brings to the world. The highlight for me is the infectious keyboard riff on Covergirl which was used extensively on the show RuPaul's drag race such as when the contestants took their walks on the catwalk. Covergirl is a very worthy bookend to her previous smash hit supermodel (actually, covergirl may in fact be better!) Take a listen to the samples available on amazon to get a sense and then buy this -- you will be pleased with it and there will be no need to be jealous of anyone's boogie. When this cd is on you are going to want to sante and stay -- not sashay away.....
Here are my individual song ratings --
