Allan Jay wants to be your «Drama Queen» tonight
Drama Queen is a cover of the 2007 Eurovision entry by Denmark.
The Single has been recorded and remixed to feature in the upcoming documentary «Maisie – Britain’s Oldest Drag Artist». The documentary is a look at David Raven aka Maisie Trollette who has been performing as a drag artist for over 50 years. He has performed in many shows such as «Boys in the Band», «One flew over the cuckoo’s nest» and as a Dame in some of the UK’s biggest Pantomime productions. David has however made a huge name for himself as Maisie Trollette. Even at the age of 87 he is still performing at many LGBTQ events, Prides and festivals. In his early career as Maisie, David appeared as a regular at London’s Royal Vauxhall Tavern.
The single is fun and uplifting with backing vocals from the hugely talented Belle Erskin. Outstanding mixes by 7th Heaven along with a big vocal by Allan Jay sets the song up to really hit the dance charts.
The music video features some of the UK’s favourite drag artists such as Dave Lynn, Miss Jason, Mrs Moore, Rose Garden, Cilla Slack, Lilly Minogue and many more. Along with some very handsome backing dancers often seen touring with Allan Jay.
«Drama Queen» was composed by Peter Andersen and Simon Munk with lyrics by Peter Andersen and Claus Christensen. Peter performed the song at the Eurovision semi final in 2007 which gained 45 points and came 19th.

Allan Jay has built a name for himself on the UK LGBTQ+ scene, Known for his energetic performances and big vocals he has won various music awards most recently Gten Media – Best Music Artist 2021 and featured in charts across the UK and Europe. With them joining forces, «Drama Queen» is set to be a hit this summer.
Allan Jay said to MySoCalledGayLife.co.uk, «I was so honoured to be asked to be part of the Maisie documentary which focuses on over 50 years of the history of drag artists prior to the likes of famous current artists such as RuPaul and many more. Maisie is the Grandmother of drag in the UK who opened so many doors for today’s Drag artists and someone I am proud to call a friend».
Even «Drama Queen» was representing Denmark, Allen Jay gave me a Swedish Melodifestivalen vibe, Swedens national selection for Eurovision vibe, that means this is very catch pop song. So keep your ears open for the release of Allen Jay’s version of «Drama Queen».
