According to that page, there were more parts written then just the ones we saw performed, there were lyrics written for Cleopatra, Joan of Arc and Frida Kahlo. I find it weird that they still went with Princess Diana for Katya instead of one of the other parts. If Adore was still there then I could see her as Cleopatra, and Katya should have been Joan of Arc.
Wow I love the Cleopatra and Joan of Arc ones. The Helen of Troy wasn't very clever, they should have replaced Helen and Di with Cleopatra and Joan of Arc.
I would love to hear the music to them, anyone know if it's available?
If anything, Adore would have been Frida, Tatianna would be Joan and Coco would be Cleopatra. I guess they didn't know who they'd send home, then? If they made enough lyrics for everyone. In Rucall, Katya said she'd first been asked to bring a Marie Antoinette outfit and had then at the last minute been asked to bring a Princess Di outfit. Which means they had had it assigned before arrival which means they all had an assigned part. Having the full song and performance would have been awesome. I wish Coco had gone further so we could see her turn out a lipsync challenge. Katya, for all her strengths, just isn't a great lipsyncer.
My teenage angst has a body count
While I found some of the songs catchy, I really didn't like the song.
The Helen of Troy song was just stupid--it makes no sense for her to be a punk or whatever she was supposed to be and keep saying who she is.
The Marie Antoinetter and Catherine the Great songs perpetuate damaging myths that were created to disparage powerful women--hardly empowering.
The Frido Khalo verse just talked about her appearance.
The Diana one made no sense to her legacy or actions.
I'm all for drag as camp and subversion, but this song was nonsensical and lazy. If it's supposed to be about kickass women, why not include details of them kicking ass? How does Helen shouting her name, Marie Antoinette showing complete indifference to the suffering of the poor, or Catherine the Great alluding to f_cking a horse show these women as awesome rebels?
I assumed Coco would be Cleopatra, Tatianna would be Khalo, and Adore would be Joan of Arc.

I could only get through the performance once. It was just terrible. The Diana part was especially awful.
