jericks-hat:

i totally agree. as much as i’m absolutely up the ass of jinkx monsoon, their voice quality or at least range has definitely changed (see them doing creep in london with mister joe black on ukulele) (like, i still totally love their voice, but there’s some songs that they used to do which they can’t as much anymore) i’ve talked about this a lot with @twinksforjinkx, i really think they should have a bit of a break. like i would absolutely love for jinkx to come to england again so i could see them, but i think it’s more important for them to have some time off. you can really see from how upset they are in their speeches before a song to come home to that they miss seattle and their chosen family. jerick’s happiness and wellbeing is the most important thing to me.

Sometimes after traveling too much, my voice gets really tired. I promise I’m not smoking my range away, and my passion for drag has NOT subsided in the slightest.

It’s hard to be a belter type singer and constantly have to be traveling, getting little sleep, and performing ALL the time.

However, if you had had the chance to see my most recent original show, I sang “as we stumble along” from the Drowsy Chaperone, so I can assure my range is not gone. BUT, that was the ONE show stopper I did in that show. When I was young, I would sing one belting show stopper after another… But you guys have to understand I’ve been working non stop for almost four years now, after the airing of my first episode.

Mama is getting older.

BUT, I’m adapting with my body changes, focusing on keeping myself healthy, and being aware of when I need a break.

But my voice is not dead

And my passion for drag is stronger than ever.

I’m just sorry I let the fatigue show sometimes. That’s very unprofessional. I’m sorry guys. I love you!
