Synopsis

Gloria Estefan does not appear in the "Everlasting Love" video. Instead, a lively cast of drag performers takes her place, lip-syncing and dancing through a colorful celebration of the singer's changing image. Five impersonators portray different stages of Estefan's career, turning the absence of the real performer into the video's central joke and creative device. The clip combines glossy pop styling, energetic choreography, and playful camp, matching the upbeat dance treatment of her version of the classic song.
