OMG!!!!! Its the very first episode of What Makes U Sing with Larry Owens! Larry introduces the listener request segment with a baffling Simon and Garfunkel ballad, as always, accompanied by James Harvey. Comedic superstar Bennito Skinner, better known as @BennyDrama7, drops by for a POP divafilled ep of true gay iconography. We talk Larrys recent breakup, comedy showcases, character comedy vs drag, WIGS, and Antoni from Queer Eye stops by! We sing Hilary Duff, Gaga, but never Christinaand discuss a fan theory surrounding Britney Spears as Benjamin Button. Larry ends the ep by vanity singing a song from The Wiz. Tune in next week :) Also: like, rate, subscribe, tweet and insta!!!!
