Drag Race: Jelena Karleuša responds to Plane Jane’s Snatch Game
Serbian singer Jelena Karleuša has broken her silence over Plane Jane’s impersonation on Drag Race. On this week’s episode, the nine remaining contestants of season 16 flexed their improvisation skills as they participated in the franchise’s staple maxi-challenge, Snatch Game.
This time around, a handful of the beloved batch of queens took on niche or original characters to try and impress Mama Ru. One contestant who stepped out of the box with her impersonation character was Jane, who went as the Serbian superstar Karleuša. “Jelena is a Serbian pop superstar.
She’s sort of the equivalent of Madonna here in the US. So it’s Slovaic clownery shenanigans, MILF town realness,” the Boston-based queen explained in a confessional.
While Ru and the judges’ panel had no clue who Karleuša was, Jane’s performance earned rave reviews for her campy and silly homage to the ‘Nepogrešivo’ singer.
