Whether you win or not, there is always an opportunity for success.Vanessa Williams Season Chronology Next → And a platform is just something … to make the most out of. “I’ve always viewed these competition shows as platforms. Sanders said that no matter the result, he’s proud of how far he’s come. “ Queen of the Universe is literally meant to combine the best parts of music, the best parts of entertainment, the best parts of people … and put it all on a stage where we can all be celebrated and appreciated.”Īnyone curious how far Vox makes it in this first Queen of the Universe competition will have to tune in on Thursdays to the Paramount+ show, which requires a subscription to view. RuPaul’s new show is more likely to provide a positive environment for drag stars, he said. “I’ve been turned down from hundreds of auditions in my time,” he said, but told himself he’d keep trying no matter how many times he heard the word ‘No.’ “If people were even close to aware of the amount of messages and hate that I got, because of the audience that American Idol catered to, then they would understand that.”īut show business requires resilience, he said. “A drag queen could never, at least at this point in time, win American Idol - no matter how well they performed - because the voting audience just isn’t that audience,” Sanders said, explaining that Queen of the Universe appeals to a broader audience than American Idol.

Vox answered the question with her performance, earning a standing ovation from the audience and approval from Idol judges Katy Perry, Lionel Ritchie and Luke Bryan to advance to the group of final 24 contestants. She sealed her fate with an emotional rendition of Radiohead’s Creep, which asks the self-conscious question of an outsider: As Vox, she then performed with such aplomb that she made it onto American Idol’s 16th season in 2018. Sanders auditioned for American Idol 13 times, once making it to the 50th spot as himself before being cut, finally earning a spot in the competition as Ada Vox.
“I have never lip-synced, it’s never been part of my gig,” said Adam Sanders, who adopted the stage persona Ada Vox at age 21 as a “safety blanket” to be able to express himself fully.

The 28-year-old Vox started singing in earnest at age eight and became a professional vocalist at age 13. Vox has what might be considered a competitive advantage, as contestants on the unusual show are judged not by their lip-syncing abilities - standard drag fare - but on the contestants’ actual singing voices.
