[@violetbluejay]

The amount of people thinking Monet didn't sing live because her breaths weren't that audible or it sounded too smooth is wild to me like y'all what do you think she was learning during all that opera training, lyrics?? 🤨🤨🤨

[@wyheadintx]

Looked like Monet and Jinkx were the only ones singing live. Monet sounded very good but I wish she had not held the mic so close. A real opera singer would have held it a couple of feet away because when they perform in an actual opera house they use NO MICs! They can project to the whole house without one, which is why live opera is the greatest music to hear live. BTW in musical theater performers do use mics because of all the talking they have to do.

[@skyespaulding]

@@wyheadintx this can also really depend on the acoustics of the space. I've seen many videos of opera singers holding mics close in a recording studio or an outdoor venue.

[@je8607]

I was reading that production insisted on them recording the tracks, because it makes it easier to mix the show in post. I directed a live musical performance once, and it’s actually really difficult so I don’t blame them. However, both Jinkx and Monet did a great job recording while already in the competition. Bravo to them both!

[@tiaravenesa]

are these people deaf, because I heard her took breath between a sentence! a crime in classical and theatrical singing, but proof enough she was singing live

Also, a nice palette cleanser after all these lipsyncs. And Raja deserves props too, her performance was beautiful as well, and you can tell it meant a lot to her.

I think it's the phenomena of watching a drag Queen on drag Race, performing it, which is a nice memory refresh of the many times a gender bending expression has been seen through what we perceive as an artform (like the Greeks who did drag back in the day through theatre). But it's biased. I do remember Gia Gunn getting no recognition from the judges because she comes across as shady

agree

[@gisellefendi5793]

I do agree but I also wanna point out that Shea also did choreo so she wasn't just lip syncing so I'd put her in as well. It's not new, you're right but Jinkx's talent which was singing isn't new either.

[@ytscrownjewell]

There was nothing impressive about Jinkx's singing this go around. It was middle of the road, there is a reason she was not in the top.

[@aphrodite1215]

@@ytscrownjewell She sang live instead of the typical bitch track with choreo.

This Drag Variety format should be it's own show. Contestants of RPDR are given a budget and a few months to create a performance and wins go to charity. I bet a lot more people would watch This than all the other similar shows! Each week different queens, no eliminations just entertainment.

[@BSMAG87]

Brilliant idea

[@RaymondHng]

That's what local drag queens do. The Empress Jose Sarria of the Imperial Court of San Francisco would put on shows sometimes performing opera (in parody) and raise funds for uniforms for the San Francisco Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band.

[@harcaransingh9649]

Raja performance was just amazing she is truly an icon . She truly represents the Asians well. 💕💕💕

[@onetallpheeesh]

Raja was incredible and for me it came down between her and Shea for the 2nd spot with Monét. It broke my heart not seeing Raja in the top 4 but at the same time, Shea was just so sharp and professional with her movements. I'm a huge Luther Vandross and Janet Jackson fan and lemme tell you, IDENTICAL. But the cultural talents always get shafted and that upsets me because Gia and Raja were both the most hypnotizing talents with rich History I wish it was a top 3 lol

I worked with opera companies for years and it was such a pleasure going to rehearsals listening to professionals sing beautiful works of art every day (except dark days). It was such a treat for Monét to bring opera to the mainstage. I got misty eyed hearing Monét's melodic tones and vocal training. Made my artistic black girl band geek theatre nerd self gleefully happy. 😊💙🖤✨

[@justlilyanne]

This has been such a great season and not just for the crazy, wild and professional talent but for how positive the competitors have been with each other. While I don't know what may be on the edit room floor I do want to thank EVERYONE for this season's messaging of mutual joy, respect and friendship with the Queens! Drag Race reached a whole new level!

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

I’m not someone who likes fighting, so I’ve really enjoyed this season. I don’t like seeing people being miserable to each other because it makes me feel miserable, and there’s drama enough in competing at this high a level.

All fabulous...I just have to point out that Monet is giving an operatic performance while tucked and fully CORSETED. As a vocalist (and occasionally corseted historical reenactor), I know exactly how much breath and diaphragm control is required to get that tone quality. When your body is that sickeningly snatched it is like trying to breathe through a vice - OUCH and DAMN girl! That was splendid!

[@wino_-ub6pf]

I think this Talent Show was incredible. My personal highlights are: Jaida, Shea, Monét and Raja. Jaida passed me the vibe check. We all know she's not a singer, but her lyrics and outfit were on POINT. Shea choreographed beautifully, every single movement achieved perfection! Monét... oh my dear Monét, that diaphragm control!!! And she looked gorgeous!!! Raja was great and their show should receive more appreciation, because it was so risky to do such a different talent. But really, all the girls did amazing!

[@spoidabetch]

RIGHT?? jaida's performance was a top one for me, the rhythm and lyrics were sooo good. but monet had me speechless fully with a handkerchief to my eye

[@trentgomez]

RAJA????? The backstory and look was BEAUTIFUL. But the actual TALENT was 3/10. If any other girl did that on a regular season they'd lipsync for their life. She did one "move". Over and over and ran around. I love her but all of the praise she will get for this will come from her being an Icon and the lovely story.

[@wino_-ub6pf]

@@trentgomez they did a cultural dance, which most of us don't actually have a knowledge or access prior to the show. and they represented a cultural background (Indonesian) that usually is not represented in mainstream media. the talent itself may be not appreciated, but it's a gate opener to the viewers to their culture and that should be praised

Monét not only killed the first spoken word monologue on All Stars 7, but got robbed of a win for her verse & performance on "Titanic" & now delivered THIS? Her Opera wasn't just a showcase of her talent & skill, but takes this so much deeper than Drag. Plus, Monét uses the runway for politics, activism & education without being prompted. She is Queen of Queens!!!! ❤

@@ChrolliForever I love Jinkx! She is an undeniable talent & was the reason I got into Drag Race. It's been difficult watching her get favored on All Stars 7 though because all of the Queens already have legacies as winners & really outshined her in some of the challenges they gave her a win for. I'd be happy with anyone winning, but Monét is my pick for Queen of Queens & Raja is my choice for Queen of She Already Done Had Herses! ❤Such a great season. I love that we had a non-profit showcase this episode as well & the Queens got to perform what they wanted & not just another Main Challenge. I got emotional this episode because it's probably the last time we'll see most, if not all, of these Queens on a competitive season of Drag Race! 💔

I really love how jinx is the only queen with no backup dancers, props, stage, and extra stuff to fill the stage. Just pure talent.

[@alliu6562]

Back again and every single time, Monet’s performance takes my breath away. Seriously. Her opera singing is so beautiful, and as a fellow classically trained musician, I KNOW she put in so many hours of practice (maybe even 40 hours a day, if you know you know). Her win this episode is so well deserved. Also, if anyone hasn’t seen yet, she uploaded a full version to her KZbin channel, and y’all need to go listen. It’s gorgeous, especially without a corset hindering her (which, btw, makes this performance even more amazing. Opera singers, to my knowledge, use their diaphragm a LOT more than pop singers. They sing from the belly, which cinchers and corsets severely restrict. The fact that she was able to sing like this with a corset on is just triple proof of her skill).

[@captain-insano]

i'm glad monet was able to knock this week out of the ball park as she definitely could have won more before this. this week she definitely was the best out of the bunch and earned her finale spot. not only for the performance this week but i would say she did well during the whole competition too.
