00:00My name is Alyssa Edwards, and this is I Said What I Said.
00:05And I am about to rewind and watch some of the most craziest but iconic moments that I shared with each and every one of you.
00:14Tell me when we're ready to film. We're filming right now?
00:18Yep.
00:18All right, let's get this shindigga going.
00:26I'm going to take y'all back in time.
00:28We done dug deep in the archives.
00:32Ding.
00:38Oh, shit.
00:41Oh, my God.
00:42I got to pause right now.
00:44First of all, look at me how excited I was.
00:47I was so excited.
00:49I said, I'm in Hollywood.
00:51Oh, my God.
00:51I thought I was cooking.
00:53I mean, I thought I was turning it and burning it.
00:55The girls couldn't take the Diamond Doll Diva.
01:00Oh, and then walks in Miss Cocotini, honey.
01:04Coco Montrees.
01:04Coco Montrees.
01:06The face crack of the century.
01:10And then walks in Coco Montrees.
01:11Look at me.
01:11I'm plopped.
01:12Y'all know this is, this is queer history.
01:17This is queer history.
01:19Deeper.
01:20Don't be so shallow, Alyssa.
01:24Girl, I almost drowned.
01:26I was so excited meeting RuPaul.
01:28You better pose.
01:29I'm glad I shaved my armpits that day.
01:31Careful on these wet, slippery surfaces.
01:34Oh.
01:34You know what?
01:36Let me pause this shit.
01:37I feel like y'all wanted me to watch me act a damn fool.
01:41More than I already know.
01:44I was so excited.
01:45I was like a kid on Christmas morning when I woke up.
01:49I was so excited to meet RuPaul.
01:52I was in Hollywood.
01:53And I bust my ass.
01:56I'm not going to blame it on the edit.
01:58Because I did it.
01:59And I own it.
02:01But it ain't how hard you fall.
02:03It's how fierce you get up.
02:05No tea, no shade.
02:07All tea, all shade.
02:09We are going at, these were the golden days of RuPaul's Drag Race.
02:14This is when the gals were in untuck, really untucking.
02:17I don't get cute.
02:18I get drop dead gorgeous.
02:20Now that's iconic.
02:21That's iconic.
02:22How did I even make that shit up?
02:24Now if you all at home are liking what you're watching,
02:28go ahead and let us know.
02:29Prove it.
02:30Like and subscribe.
02:31There's more right around the corner.
02:34It's real sunny up here.
02:37But I do like a little bit of shade.
02:40Oh.
02:46This is a hate crime.
02:47This is queer history right here.
02:53All these young girls, this is what they were watching when they were in grade school.
02:58We are to blame for all this madness running amok.
03:04Ain't that some shit?
03:06Hey, Katy Perry.
03:09Oh my.
03:10Y'all better stop it.
03:12Are we really going to bring Katy Perry into this?
03:14I thought I was cooking it.
03:15I really thought I did this Katy Perry so good.
03:18No.
03:19Okay.
03:21Y'all want to know a fun fact?
03:23I remember getting ready for the Snatch Game.
03:26And to be very honest with you, I don't think I was clearly familiar with the prompt and the idea.
03:32Have you ever kissed a girl?
03:34Oh.
03:35Well, never.
03:36But I thought I got this blue wig and this is it.
03:40I'm going to put a lollipop in here and they ain't going to be able to say shit to me.
03:45All you young girls that are vying for the title in hopes of one day getting the opportunity to do Snatch Game, this is how not to do it.
03:54Okay?
03:55Girl, look how orange you fucking look, girl.
03:58You used to be a lot of anger up.
03:59That haunted her.
04:01I think this whole scene haunted both of us shit.
04:04Girl, look how orange you fucking look.
04:06You know, see, this is what we did back in the day, though.
04:08The girls, we would just breathe the dog out of each other.
04:11And this is really how we acted backstage.
04:16Back rolls.
04:17Back roll.
04:20Back rolls, side rolls, front rolls, jelly rolls.
04:25Now bank rolls.
04:27Now this is what I'm proud of.
04:29When I watched me back in the day, prancing, twirling, twisting around the stage.
04:35Oh my gosh.
04:37This used to be my favorite part.
04:39The lip sync for your life.
04:43What in the world were people at home thinking?
04:47When they saw us up here just throwing our hands around like this.
04:51This is me.
04:53This is the life that I chose to live.
04:56Acting a damn fool on television.
04:58My granny used to call me and she would say, Justin, I saw you on television dressed up like a woman.
05:05I said, well, granny, not really dressed up like a woman, but that's my character.
05:09You know, like Mrs. Doubtfire or something.
05:14She said, no, you was dressed up like a woman.
05:17I said, well, granny, did you think I did good?
05:19I think you did excellent.
05:20But I didn't think you were going to win.
05:26Every woman has a secret.
05:27Mine happens to be a little bigger.
05:30What did you say?
05:31What?
05:32Oh, girl.
05:34My secret?
05:36It's a list of secret.
05:38I thought this perfume was good.
05:40Look at Michelle.
05:42She is not impressed.
05:44Michelle is not impressed with this.
05:47I'm a man.
05:50A CD.
05:52A full crossdresser.
05:54That was the secret.
05:58Now we're playing blues clothes.
06:01Oh, stop it.
06:03Y'all didn't have to bring this into it.
06:05Y'all did not have to bring...
06:06You have a rare mental condition.
06:09Make it stop.
06:10Make it stop.
06:11Make it stop.
06:12Make it stop.
06:14Alyssa Edwards.
06:15The next time you look in the mirror, I hope you see what I see.
06:20A triple threat.
06:22A dancer.
06:23A beauty queen.
06:24And one fierce-ass entertainter.
06:28Listen, when I pack my shit and I depart to heaven, I need that to be on my headstone.
06:35The mother said it right there.
06:38I forgot about that.
06:39Thank y'all for reminding me.
06:40Always and forever.
06:43Alyssa Edwards.
06:45Oh, my gosh.
06:47Yay.
06:49That was crazy as hell.
06:54Y'all get ready.
06:56What is a bunch of drag queens going to do in the Rockies?
07:00Oh, Lord.
07:02All right, let's do this, Canada.
07:03This is what a girl's trip is all about.
07:07You get a bunch of queens, a bunch of sissies up on a mountaintop in the snow.
07:14Here's the thing.
07:21Let me just be honest.
07:23Okay, that's all I can be.
07:24My kind of vacation is tropical, exotic, luxury with my partner.
07:31And I found myself in the house with these drag queens, playing street hockey, riding a motorcycle in the snow, jumping bunny hills.
07:40But I survived.
07:41And not only did I survive, I thrived.
07:45So you all, wherever you are in the world, make sure you tune in because you all have access to WOW Presents Plus.
07:52Watch Slaycation 2 and get your whole life.
07:57Y'all ain't ready for this shindig.
08:04There I am.
08:06And now this is Alyssa's secret.
08:10I like those nails.
08:12Very Cynthia Erivo.
08:14Let me tell you, I didn't know what I was doing when I came down here in the basement.
08:17And I saw that green screen.
08:19And they started asking me questions like, Alyssa, tell us about your first aid.
08:23I thought it was like some kind of interrogation or something.
08:29What the f*** is going on in here on this day?
08:32I remember packing all my stuff up, flying over here.
08:36And Hollywood was, I mean, y'all, that was big for me.
08:40Coming from Mesquite, I would stay at Miss Vivi's house.
08:43And we would get up extra early and be real excited to get all lashed and dulled to come down here in the basement
08:49and just talk about my favorite subject.
08:52You know what that is?
08:55Me.
09:00All right!
09:01Oh, here we go.
09:04My name is Alyssa Edwards.
09:05All stars too, baby.
09:06I need, I need, I need, I need to get up in this all-star gig.
09:10I'm back, back, back, back, back, back again.
09:12I'm back, back, back, back, back again.
09:15That's homosexual lingo.
09:18Right there.
09:19And that brings us to Coco Montrese.
09:22Boost! Boost!
09:25Ladies and gentlemen, the legendary Joan Crawford.
09:29Joan Crawford, I went from Ru apologizing, honey, to Ru celebrating.
09:37Oh, here I go.
09:38I hated playing anything other than Alyssa.
09:40Yeah, I'm glad I finally said it.
09:42I said, baby, I just love playing Alyssa.
09:44But, you know, for me to grow and learn, I had to play these other characters.
09:47Oh, this meme, this meme lives on.
09:53Me and Cawthon, we were in our own world over there.
09:57You know what?
09:57I was so excited to do this season with Katya because I had one fan in the workroom.
10:04The other girls were like, oh, gosh, damn, we cannot do it with Alyssa again.
10:09She's entertaining herself.
10:10But Katya, she was so entertained by my charades on the daily that me and her,
10:17we just went on over here and visited the moon a few times.
10:21You better believe it.
10:21And Pluto and Saturn.
10:22I'm going to do my best.
10:25Oh, my gosh, I haven't seen this in so long.
10:27This is actually kind of good.
10:29No one can beat me.
10:31So I went bang bang.
10:33Bang bang.
10:34Oh.
10:37Did Justin B throw that leg?
10:39Camp town ladies, sing this song.
10:42Oh, my gosh.
10:43Do what?
10:45Do what?
10:46Do what?
10:48Do what?
10:49So the queen I've selected is Alyssa Edwards.
11:00They got me.
11:02Baby, the Rolaska Talks sent me packing not once, but twice.
11:08It seemed to me she was more concerned about throwing you two
11:11under the bus during deliberations.
11:15Ah, the mirror scene!
11:20You see these Emmys back here?
11:21Here's the thing.
11:22I think the Emmys should go back into time and watch All-Stars 2,
11:28because this mirror scene alone would have won some kind of award.
11:32An EGOT something, right?
11:34Oh, shut up and drop!
11:36Girls, this is on the what to list, what to do.
11:41I still get excited watching this all these years later.
11:45You know, one day I'm going to be able to tell my great-great-grandchildren.
11:49Your granny used to turn it.
11:50She used to burn it and turn it.
11:52Alyssa and Ava Edwards.
11:54Oh, my sister!
11:55Oh, my goodness!
11:56Look at Tabitha!
11:59I love this scene.
12:00This was so special so much.
12:02Having my little baby sister on there.
12:04Alyssa Edwards, you are an all-star.
12:08Now, sashay away.
12:14Oh, my gosh!
12:15You're always a winner to me.
12:17That's all I've had was.
12:18And they did what anybody else would have done.
12:20They eliminated their biggest competition.
12:22Oh, was I the biggest one?
12:23Look at my sister!
12:24She's just like me!
12:25That's my sister!
12:26I'm leaving this a better Alyssa than I came in.
12:31That's the win.
12:33Imagine, create, inspire.
12:36I should have wrote on there, you bitches!
12:40Oh, my God.
12:45Oh, here we go.
12:50Buckle up.
12:51Let's crank this game up.
12:52Baby!
12:53Oh, my gosh.
12:54And this stage is now.
12:56Global all-stars.
12:58See, I can tell now this is the fully realized Alyssa Edwards I always imagined and hoped
13:05and prayed to be right here.
13:10Oh, my goodness.
13:11This is outrageous.
13:13This is outrageous.
13:15Absolutely bizarre.
13:17Bizarre behavior.
13:19Look at this .
13:20Look at this right here.
13:22Y'all wanted flash dance?
13:23When I pulled that cord and the water came down, I was drenched and I still look good.
13:28The United States of America.
13:30Okay.
13:31Right here.
13:32The commercial.
13:33We got to talk about this.
13:35Talk about an evolution.
13:36I went from Alyssa's Secret to the go-go juice to the commercial and I won this challenge.
13:43And you want to know, we got some artifacts here.
13:46Look right there.
13:47Zoom, Mr. Camera person.
13:48Y'all got to get the dress.
13:50Look.
13:51I got the dress.
13:52I brought it with me.
13:53I brought it with me.
13:55This was a unique experience because we're in the back end.
13:57We don't get to watch each other perform.
13:59So it's so cool to watch the screen split into four and we're all four true to what we
14:06do.
14:07I remember telling myself, it don't always have to be a trick.
14:10Make sure you are looking RuPaul dead in the eyes and you mean business.
14:16I said you better do the most fiercest split you've ever done on this stage in all ten seasons
14:23you've been on.
14:24And I did it.
14:25Yars plus the all clap.
14:30That was the audience.
14:32Okay.
14:34The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars is Alyssa Edwards.
14:44I still get excited.
14:51I remember when this came out, it was like, I don't know, two in the morning in Dallas.
15:02I remember sitting on my couch watching this and I told myself, you're going to be proud
15:08no matter what because sometimes in life you've got to cry on your damn self.
15:13And I've acted out my life on stages for years.
15:15What did I, what was I saying throughout this series, 23 years, but now it's 25.
15:21And the lady is still doing it and still doing it with, with passion and love and unapologetically.
15:29And this is, this is the true Testament.
15:31This is a moment.
15:32Never give up on something you believe in.
15:33Man.
15:34And that, and that's yourself.
15:35I never gave up on myself.
15:37I never did.
15:38Even if they said I was a lovely fifth alternate, I would say, well, gosh, damn, there it is.
15:43I guess I'm going to have to be going back again and again and again and again.
15:47She's going to be back again and again.
15:49Um, truly a magical night.
15:52And you know what?
15:53I jumped up off my sofa and ran around my house and I got them pots and pans.
15:57I started banging them in my neighborhood.
15:59Y'all know, I got a call the next day from the HOA.
16:03And they're like, is everything okay over there?
16:06And I said, oh yes, baby.
16:07I'm the queen of the world.
16:09And it was so sweet.
16:10All my neighbors, I mean, flowers, they baked me cookies.
16:15I got me a little, um, you know, a old beaded cape.
16:20I had upstairs and sat out in my front lawn in a lawn chair, was waving to all my neighbors.
16:25It was, it was the most beautiful experience.
16:31That's what I'm going to call it.
16:32Because it wasn't just a moment in time and it was an experience.
16:35And it's something that I'll remember, I will treasure and cherish for the rest of my being on this thing called Earth.
16:45If you haven't heard the news, get out from underneath that rock you live under and experience the experience of RuPaul's Drag Race in Chicago.
16:55Grab your tickets.
16:56They're on sale now.
16:57I want to thank you all for watching.
16:58But most importantly, I want to thank you all for sharing this journey with me.
17:02It's been the wildest roller coaster of my entire life.
17:05And I wouldn't change one dip, one spin, one twirl, or one loop.
17:10I threw my hands up, I giggled, I laughed, and had an absolute ball.
17:16And I hope you did as well.
17:18And since everybody has an opinion these days, go ahead and share it.
17:22Let us know.
