Why the LGBTQ community loves -- and will always love -- Whitney Houston
CNN
It was a performance that likely would've made Whitney Houston proud.
In the Season 9 finale of "RuPaul's Drag Race," in 2017, Sasha Velour faced off against Shea Couleé. As the two queens approached the end of their lip-sync battle, Velour left the audience stunned when she lifted her wavy red wig from her bald head and, to everyone's surprise, unleashed a swirl of rose petals.
It was one of the most eye-popping wig reveals in the show's history, and Velour, who's gender-fluid and uses "she" in drag, eventually won the crown. But something else also made that moment special: the music, in particular Whitney Houston's 1987 chart-topper "So Emotional." Just as Velour began to hoist her wig, you could hear Houston's voice thunder, "I get so emotional, baby / Every tiiiiime I think of you."
