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

By

This review is from: Champion (Audio CD)

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 A high energy CD with a positive message, February 18, 2010

This review is from: Champion (Audio CD)

RuPaul is one of those people whom I've always been peripherally aware of, but didn't really start paying much attention to until recently, when I caught a random episode of Drag Race on television. He's a total riot and someone I imagine being really cool to hang out with, so just for fun I splurged on his latest CD, Champion, having only heard one song prior - the infectious booty-shaker Jealous of My Boogie. That was all the incentive I needed.

While some of the tunes flirt with the generic, thumping 90's club sounds from the likes of C&C Music Factory or Real McCoy (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, mind you), Champion is overall very much on the cutting edge of modern electronica and at least 10 of the 12 tracks rely on auto-tuning and electric voice altering. Cher plus Madonna, times ten, equals RuPaul, lol. I personally love it, but I can also see how someone not into that kind of music to begin might be completely repulsed. Again, not necessarily a bad thing. Just a heads up.

Not only is the disc high energy from start to finish, the lyrics are very positive and uplifting. The general theme seems to be one of self-acceptance, positive thinking, being true to yourself and just having fun. A number of songs stick out as my favorites, such as LadyBoy, which I dare anyone not to hum along with, and the catchy, attitude-driven Jealous of My Boogie which I mentioned above. Never Go Home Again is a poignant story a lot of gay, lesbian, and transgender youths can relate to, and probably the closest thing to a ballad on this CD. (Though I would definitely not define this as just a "gay" CD.) The only song I'm not super crazy about is Tranny Chase, despite it having the most awesome title, lol. It's just a little too hip-hoppy for my taste and seems out of place amongst all the other faster electronica songs, but even that can kind of fun if you're in a campy sort of mood. So for anyone who ever felt out of place, alone, or ugly, I would recommend this CD, because it's sure to bring a smile to your face. May the fierce be with you!

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

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 --

1. Main Event - 10 out of 10
2. Jealous of My Boogie - 10 out of 10
3. Cover Girl - 10 out of 10
4. Tranny Chaser - 9 out of 10
5. Ladyboy - 9 out of 10
6. Champion - 9 out of 10
7. Never Go Home Again - 8 out of 10
8. Destiny Is Mine - 9 out of 10
9. Lets Turn The Night - 9 out of 10
10. Devil Made Me Do It - 9 out of 10
11. Drag Race - 9 out of 10
12. Throw Ya Hand Up - 9 out of 10
