One of my all-time favourites is [season eight's] Thorgy Thor and Chi Chi DeVayne doing 'And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going', that was the first time I'd ever seen it really performed by a drag entertainer.
Chi Chi, her beads were all over the floor. Child! You have these two drag queens and they're in black and white, doing Jennifer Holliday. You can't get any more camp than that.
