shes a queen!
Love this queen's energy. She comes off as effortlessly classy.
I have believed in her since I met her!! I had the great pleasure of being her voice teacher at the Eastman School of Music, and her lessons were always a high point of my week. I learned so much from working with her, and we always had a blast - that LAUGH!!! People walking by my studio must have thought we were crazy. (We were, and still are.) For Halloween in her first semester she came to her lesson dressed as Leontyne Price - totally gorgeous! Then I watched her win one of her first pageants in Boston at a club called Machine. I'm a SUPER FAN and I'm so glad to read these comments. She deserves every bit of success and I hope she WINS!!!!!!

Wow. What would I possibly have to gain by making this up? I have known Sapphira since before she was Sapphira. If you choose not to believe that, it really makes no difference one way or the other. @@LoveLakesAndStuff

This is so cute! I love little background information like this
Thank you, Sapphira for wearing a heavy and luxurious fabric that was well steamed and/or irorned. This is excellence
Giving winner energy. So classy! The mother of the season just like Sasha on S15.
she possesses so much class and I aspire to be as classy
absolutely OBSESSED! Her and Nymphia are my Top 2.

@@nerheus can you please not go around just saying that because I actually didn’t. Now cause of you I know it for sure… you know it’s not that far of a stretch for someone as seasoned as Sapphira and unique as Nymphia to make it that far, but especially with the talent they’ve already shown. Ty for ruining basically the biggest aspect of the season.
she exudes big winner energy. i loved her back story! yall better show out and show up for this queen. the polish is immaculate and the talent is there! I'm confused as to why they took so long to put her on #dragrace because she is it.

I agree ❤
You know... She was born with all these gifts that she nurtured and she's talented, cool. Still, what I like most about her, by far, is her owning her being. She's natural in her skin, there are no mannerisms that scream "look at me!!" She seems to be cool with herself and I love it.
oh, i'm rooting for Sapphira! she's what this franchise needs
She’s like Sasha and Bianca at the time of their seasons, a well connected drag queen who is already successful who is looking to elevate their career, and I’m excited for this
When you see somebody there are two options. You can get jealous or you can be inspired. I love her!
She's giving finalist, if not WINNER, energy! So regal, confident, and polished 😍

Sapphira is so phenomenal in every way possible (personality, fashion, makeup, hair, voice, talent, energy, etc. etc.) that I find it rather difficult to put into words how awe inspiring she is 💙💙💙
Leontyne Price?!!! She is an OHIOAN legend. Never thought she would ever be referenced on Drag Race...ever. Thank you, Sapphira. Bring her to the forefront. She was a game-changing talent as are you.

Yep, she just has a certain maturity - and she's not even that much older than the others - but it shines through
I love how eloquently she spoke and how she didn't budge when joey tried to get spoilers for the season.
its time for another winner with a classic drag aesthstic!
Winner energy!! I love Sapphira!
It’s about time they started casting Philly queens
the talent, the humor, the inner beauty, the wisdom - my heart, my winner
That Kelly Rowland story has me cackling. I need to say that from now on
WINNER WINNER WINNER
Love them!!!! So honest and vulnerable yet so strong and confident ❤ and then the sobriety thing too. So true and thank you for being a leader and spreading these messages! My winner
Talent, class and much skill! She's a winner baby!!
she's my favorite, I love her so much, I want her to win so bad! #TeamSapphira
My favorite already. She’s giving me everything ❤
I feel myself falling in love with this queen- such a powerhouse but so real! In watching these interviews, some of them are very performative. They are entertaining, but the persona is speaking, not the person. I prefer when the queen is able to drop the artifice and have a real conversation. I am so excited for this queen!!!
I remember the first time I saw her live and she was kicking her face over and over, and the audience wasn’t hype enough, so she looked over to the crowd on the other side of her leg and raised her eyebrows while high kicking and then everyone cheered 😂😂 A performer
Absolute class act
Representing for H-Town!! 🙌. The depth of her some of her experiences and challenges in life (such as feeling boxed in and labeled over your sexuality and conquering the battle of substance and alcohol abuse) has really resonated with me immensely. I am definitely here for Saphirra all the way!!
She's marvelous.
Sapphira has it all! She is the clear winner of Drag Race season 16. 👑💎💙
i love her
Her vooooice is so mesmerizing
love these interviews
she gives suuuuuuch winner energy 😍
Genuinely lovely person. Clearly.
Y’all when you see a black drag queen who’s confident: 🥰🥰😍😍🤭🤭
I just need her to win so that she joins Cristian Peralta in the pansexual winner circle
I loved this interview. The best one so far.
auditioning this many times is commitment omg i hope she doesn't flop after all that
WINNER, WINNER!
I'm very excited to see more of this queen!!
Ya'll, RPDR Season 15 winner!

Look at you singing Mephistopheles from Gounod’s Faust! I’m obsessed with this QUEEN!
I'm in LOVE with Sapphira Cristal. OMG, she has a new fan!!!

Never give up ❤
That bass!
Winner 🥇
Her voice is amazy🎉❤🎉❤ i love..!!!
I am in love 💙
Need her to win
Winner energy😩🙌👑
The amount of similarities between Saphira and Lola from Kinky Boots are astounding.
She's my winner pick
I love her comments about people with other identities. There is a wonderful maturity that I admire in her. She seems to me like she has a lot to give but her imposing personality may be a limiting factor in her life.
Definitely been rooting for Houston homegirl Saphirra on RDR, who should win. And BTW, Houston Grand Opera is one of the world’s great opera companies, and I wonder how many of their productions she’s seen? As a season subscriber for years (best deal in town!) I’d sure love to see her perform there, or anywhere!
LOVE 🔥LOVE 🔥LOVE 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🥰🥰
Yeah for the pan rep! 🩷💛💙
So she is a great business woman.
this is MY winner
oh so she's MOTHER got it
Sapphira and Nymphia are definitely top 2
loveeeeeeeeee more houston representation
Sunny Hostin is looking fine.
Give this man a cigar
Houston ppl just know how to keep it real! Love her! I hope she wins.
If she's not Laverne Cox for snatch game I'm gonna scream 🤣🤣
Omg, if you haven’t heard of the “Brazilian Beyoncé”, Iza, look her up-same bday as B too lol-but to me Sapphira could absolutely do a tribute to Iza. In a good way, lol. The style, looks, vibe. And with her opera background, singing in multiple languages is clearly a talent she has, so she could even sing the Portuguese lyrics 😊
Libra power❤
ooooooo i love that. I started walking when I removed my crutches.
