Monica Beverly Hillz gets the Fame Games rolling on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 8 after her performance of her original song “Not a Soul Can Clock” goes viral.
The penultimate episode had the eliminated queens return to compete to win the Fame Games, the second way contestants could win a grand prize outside of the main competition. The queens gave performances showing off their talents, and Beverly Hillz’s performance was her original song. The other contestants and RuPaul herself vocally enjoyed the performance, with RuPaul giving her signature laugh of approval.
