Glamazon

I have always been a late bloomer and it wasn't until season 4 debuted with the first season that I became a fan of Ms. Ru and her drag stars. It was the Sharon Needles promo that started 3 ir 4 months prior to the first episode that caught my attention. My first thought was that this could possibly be the winner not knowing anything about the first 3 seasons.So during the entire season, my neighbor and I would log in to Logo on my PC and watch the current episode that aired on LogoTv the night before for those enthusiast that could afford cable. Watching competitors get put to the test by RuPaul's creative and quirky mini challenges and weekly challenge with catwalk fashion at the end of each show was very entertaining and I am not one for reality tv shows. I have my own little reality right here, day to day and don't need anyone else's. But I found the time for this one.I remember watching the very episode of Donahue when he had the club kids on as guests of the show with the budding RuPaul included and I have to tell you, Ms. Lady has come a long way and with such style and grace. Her sense of humor and wit have sharpened over the years and her male counterpart is just as savvy and fashion forward. His business sense and tenacity in creating this genre' of entertainment not only for the LGBT community for the entire world to enjoy, laugh, sing, cry. Its all good and this collection of works from Ms. RuPaul carries over many years of growing and maturing. All these numbers have a nice beat because She brings the beat. And it covers this Cover Girl from head to toe from The Beginning to becoming a Champion. But undoubtedly my handsdown favorite is Glamazon which features Season 4 final three in the newly released music video of the same name. Yes, maam, go on a git dat muny Ms. Lady. Looking forward to Season 6 and a new music video.

Wow! What to say about RuPaul's cd, GLAMAZON. On first listen it sounds like a dance/pop/semi-techno cd. Upon furthur listening, it comes out as so much more. 1. The Beginning- Very accurate title. It sets the mood for the album. Very catchy and upbeat. Remindes me of " Main Event" from RU's CHAMPION cd. 2. Click -Clack ( Make Dat Money )- At first listening, HATED IT ( except for the sample of the song " Nasty " from Ru's 2nd cd FOXY LADY ). After Another go through, I liked it. very much like FERGIES " CLumsy ". Stylish and fun. 3. Glamazon- Title of the cd. Woman empowering track. Has a great, catchy hook. One of the best on this cd! 4. I Bring the Beat- Worst song on this whole cd. Just not catchy. Lyrics are dull, but beat is good. Would be better with total different lyrics. Feels cheap. 5. Superstar- GREAT SONG! Not mush more I can say. Love it! 6. Responsitrannity- What a mouthful, Lol!. Great dance track. It does sound kinda from the 80's. I love nostalgia! Bring It! 7. Live forever- Way familier beat. Not bad though. Another good dance track. The message remindes me of ALPHAVILLS " FOREVER YOUNG ". 8. Get Your Rebal On- OMG!!! Sounds like a gay anthem ( YAY ). Ru's had many songs touching gay rights, but this could really be a anthem for anyone who has felt repressed who feels it's time to stand up. P!NK and LADY GAGA would love this song, as do I. 9. ( Here it Comes ) Around Again- Sounds like a filler song. Its ok, but not BAM! 10. If I Dream- Another empowering song, like " GET YOUR REBEL ON ". Sounds a little amaturish, but as the last song on the album, leaves you with a pleasent tingeling through you body. All in all a very good album. Def worth the money. Thank you RU.

Lucian Piane, Ru's talented co-writer/producer, has said of GLAMAZON:"No one has ever heard RuPaul like this. This album is a new RuPaul.We worked really hard to make this the hottest and freshest sounding ear candy in the world of pop and dance (with even a little rock influence)! We spent a lot of time refining these songs, and I believe we've made an album that is truly magical."If CHAMPION marked a return, GLAMAZON marks a revelation. Ru and Lucian have given us something magical, indeed, but also something more. Set to pulsating beats and killer hooks, wit and humor flawlessly mix with emotion and depth. The result is an anthem of an album, solid from beginning to end; this is RuPaul at his absolute best. Highlights include Click-Clack, Glamazon, Responsitrannity, and If I Dream.You'll gag on the eleganza, to be sure, and (perhaps even more important to this reviewer) your spirit will be moved. By the time Responsitrannity hits the bridge, honey, get ready for Gay Church. I ain't never heard nothing like it.LadyBoys and Girls, Know The Truth And Pursue It: THIS ALBUM IS PHENOMINAL!

[UPDATE 6/10/11: Finally received the CD--it's just a cardboard case with nothing extra, so, like the person who commented below, I agree it's one that's just as good as a digital download. But let's focus on what's most important--it's a great album, every song is a winner--it's relentlessly upbeat and inspiring, not to mention just plain fun. Perfect summer-driving, windows down, hair-flying CD, for sure, so enjoy!!!] OK, so we've heard the songs on YouTube, loved 'em, and then decided we wanted a real CD we could touch and hold with Ru's visage right in front of us while we listened to it, but we ordered on April 28 and Amazon keeps informing us the shipping date is being pushed back due to lack of inventory. How long does it take to burn a CD these days?!?! Come on, Ru!!!! Help us, we're your fans!!!!

Fantastic CD. Best music ever from RuPaul. Catchy as hell and upbeat.Been a great uplift during lock down. Well recommend Ultimate Treasures to buy from.. Top notch.

No one buys CD's any more, but I do and this has been my happy soundtrack to loads of good times.

BRILLIANT

GREAT GROUP TO LISTEN TOO,

Of course it's awesome it's ru paul!
