INTERVIEW
Am I right in thinking this is your first
album in over 20 years?
Well it’s my first album in about 15 – 20 years.
*laughter*
What took you so long young lady?
*laughter* Well you know I got comfortable in
life, and then one day my manager said ‘OK you
gotta make a new album’, *laughter* and the time
felt right so I said OK, lets do this.
Now on the album you have covered one of
my favourite songs and that’s Dream On by
Aerosmith. What made you pick that song?
Well my manager said we needed to do a cover
version, and I said what about this, I've always
liked this song, and you know it fits into the
album perfectly I think, Steven Tyler hasn't heard
it yet but we're trying to arrange that, I want to
know what he thinks * laughter *.
RuPaul
A little birdie also told me you have been
working with RuPaul again?
Yes, I did a little song with him for his new album,
and it’s called Can I Get An Amen.
And that's his catchphrase from RuPaul's
Drag Race...
Yes, and you know it’s a really fun song as you
would expect.
You were also a guest Judge on Season 2 of
Drag Race, how did you find it?
Oh you know, we had so much fun * laughter *
I’m a fan of the show, I still watch it. I don’t think
I could be a permanent judge, Michelle (Visage)
has that locked down and she really works it
*laughter*.
The It’s Raining Men Campaign
I wanted to get a little serious face for a
moment, you were quite active in the
Twitter campaign and you were quite
outspoken about the whole UKIP situation,
what did you think of all that?
Oh I thought he was nuts, crazy, how can anyone
take that seriously, and of course I got behind it,
it’s important that people like that get a response,
and you guys did that in such a good way, It was a
36
ON UKIP’s David
Silvester & the ‘gay
flood’
I thought he was
nuts, crazy, how
can anyone take
that seriously, and
of course I got
behind it, it’s
important that
people like that get
a response, and
you guys did that
in such a good way,
It was a real
honour that the
song was used, he
was nuts, he should
just go live in a box
somewhere
