I’m kinda surprised Monet on AS7 isn’t here considering we all know how she absolutely mopped the floor with Jinkx in that final lip sync.

[@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged]

I strongly considered her, but she was third/fourth best on the final runway and her lip sync with Trinity was pretty close

[@blackmanta9697]

If we're comparing jinkx and monet's final runways, monet ate her up times ten. Same with the final lip sync. Jinkx had quite a weak showing, other han beating shea to judas.

[@thefold1016]

yeah yeah, but overall jinkx did better throughout the season

[@dante6985]

​@@thefold1016And that's fine if they want to go by that. But if so, why even have a 'lip sync off' at the end?

[@blackmanta9697]

@@thefold1016 technically, I think monét had a stronger track record, better runways (subjective), more stars and did better in the lip sync. That's why I was so shocked when she didn't win. Obviously Jinkx was the one to watch out for and she didn't let down. I was just surprised Monet kept up throughout the season, even if she had less wins, she was in the top pretty consistently.

[@supercutsupremacy6633]

Why no Sapphira?? She devoured her solo number, her interview, and if she was against almost any other girl she would have won the lip sync.

[@julianpankowski9254]

So Sapphire didn't devour the ENTIRE finale. She ate up her solo but not the lip sync or the runway, so that's why she's not here. She did great, just didn't devour.

[@azsazazsa]

Nymphia’s solo and interview were both better imo, as someone who was fully expecting her to win before the finale. Nymphia outshined her.

[@left2rightanimations561]

@@azsazazsa oh god no. queen of wind was her either walking around or being carried. you can have nymphia bias all you want but saying hers was better is crazy

[@birinsan7898]

i thought sapphira and nymphia pretty evenly matched. while sapphira had a strong beginning and a good middle part by the end it started getting a little stale. nymphia had a great start and while her mid part with the choreo was also pretty stale, she went strong in the end after the dancers picked her up (also shoutout to both of their first costumes they were incredible)

[@julianpankowski9254]

I don't think nymphia completely outshined sapphira but overall nymphia was marginally better.

[@ntt6028]

7:32 "Trinity the Tuck and Shea were there also" the shadeeee😂🤣🤣

[@Neonix_mp3]

i gasped 💀

[@Gichou014]

I mean trinity looked a lot better than Pepper, but Pepper had so many bad outfits through the season that in the finale, she showed more growth. Shae wasn't the best though, I might be wrong but I think she had some problems with her outfits (don't know if it's just the lip sync one or this one too)

[@ntt6028]

@@Gichou014 Not pepper 🤣

[@kev7600]

Shea did so horribly in the finale, how could one even consider her winning after performing like that.

[@ntt6028]

@@kev7600 I agree, she probably thought she was gonna be handed the crown.

[@benjaminmorales8554]

Saying Katya when Detox was right there is crazy to me. Yes Katya did the best on the verse, but had the weakest runway and finale lipsync. Detox was great at the verse, best look an best finale lipsync

[@damienpatrickshane9056]

I think video is showing an underdog who rose at the final hour. It was close between Alaska and detox, and Katya was overlooked, but completely turned it in the finale with the track. But I do see what you are saying cause detox did good in the finale

[@liftedb9591]

Period

[@luissanchez1668]

I totally see your point because Detox didn't do bad in RUWU at all, although I kinda agree with the point of others that her verse is kinda odd in some lyrics (that's why they highlighted Alaska and Katya in the official Best of AS2 in the RPDR Channel, which technically could be seen as the top 2 of that challenge specifically, if they rewarded it). But her finale runway was exquisite and her lip sync hands down was the best of the top 3.

[@marcusmelancon3426]

Not tryna be shady but Naomi never had a chance of winning season 8 i honestly feel like she did good enough to not be eliminated and then won challenges at the end that they didn’t expect her to win Bob or Kim were always gonna be one of the winners and I think Bob won because she was the better messenger Kim still wasn’t even out to her parents and I think that’s what tipped it to Bob

[@AlexandreFilho1705]

thanks for representing us, the slightly delusional Naomi Smalls stans

[@jvidez]

2:58 Thought you were gonna say “Alaska isn’t bad but she’s blue”

[@sunnydays07]

Saying “Show Off” is a bad song is wild to me, that rivals G.O.D.D.E.S.S in its iconicness, I mean Bob ate it up, included the audience in her performance, made references in ways that were so her….Im sorry that is so wild to me.

[@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged]

It’s not bad, but it was the worst compared to Legs and FF&A

[@CHaop-ct2bw]

I feel if counting international Michael Marouli should be here for UK5- she killed her Spotlight verse was probably the best there + her runway was amazing and she received high praise from Michelle and Ru with her interview garnering high emotions, Also Silky Nutmeg Ganache on Canada Vs The World- her yellow runway with the wig was amazing+ she killed the finale lip syncs its just Rajah just edged her out! Would be interested to see a video from you ranking all US Drag Race seasons including All Stars

[@andresgabrielt]

Mo's loss will always hurt. Monet and Trinity are two of the best winners, that is not a question, it just happens that Mo killed AS4 and deserved that final two spot. It's so sad that the fanbase hasn't rallied up behind her to make her a bigger deal in the queendom. She should be in the 1M club follower circle.

[@RyanPaquette-d8o]

I so so so 1000% agree with Super Queen being underrated. I have heard people say that it is one of their least favorite drag race finale performances of all time

[@lonellfletcher]

I don't know if I'm in the minority but I thought Alaska's verse was as iconic as Katya's. Why do people want to diminish what Alaska achieved in AS2?

[@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged]

Because even though she’s incredibly talented and a great winner, she was heavily favored

[@PoptartPockets]

I have to agree with you! I’ve always thought this

[@lonellfletcher]

@@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged for good reason 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Gichou014]

I don't see a finale in AS4 without Trinity, she killed the competition. I love Monet myself, but Mo was battling Monet, not trinity for that spot

[@AC-tn4it]

Idk if it’s true but I heard Aquaria did really bad in her lip sync against Eureka, she tripped a few times and Eureka allegedly mopped her. So if that was true, Eureka I guess should be on here? Honestly tho I’m glad Rupaul saved Aquaria

[@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged]

I've heard that too, but I don't think she belongs here. She did better than Aquaria in that lip sync, but her performance wasn't an all time great

[@MakuraZalis]

As someone who was there. She slipped on her ruveal multiple times. Her finale lip sync was something else. Should she have won. Yes? Did she get the crown? Did she win the finale? No. Her age showed through. There's a reason why young winners aren't remembered as much.

[@dante6985]

​@@MakuraZalisthe dilemma of Season 10 was 'who do you crown?'. The fan base hated Eureka at that point (probably some fatphobia... Also some thought she had too many second chances). Ru wasn't going to crown Cameron. So it was between Asia (insert butterfly meme here) and Aquaria.

[@jordanhasch2544]

Seeing Kandy lose to Jimbo wasn't shocking, ESPECIALLY given her set on the roast and how vicious she was to some of the others in Untucked. But she DID give some wonderful runways, and her LSFYL of "Call Me Maybe" had me giggling. Plus, her yellow dress was STUNNING (cue Mo Heart voice). It's no wonder Ru went back on her word when she called on Kandy as she was sashaying away (I think I have the timeline right).

[@corywynne2865]

I wish that the progression chart was in vastly different cors the hues of blur, I can't tell whose who

[@davidkocik5495]

I can NOT condone the slander of Bob's final performance. Nah Bob did the best by far. I don't know what y'all are seeing

[@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged]

It was good, but it was my least favorite of the night

[@saltine111]

Just letting you know Gigi Goode also did a shoe reveal in her finale lipsync

[@ccm-9797]

“Trinity the tuck and Shea were there also”

[@DeepthroatC]

wait wait, do people think Bob's finale song is bad? 😮

[@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged]

Not bad, but not as good as FF&A and Legs

[@sunnydays07]

I personally would lean more to the idea that Kim Chi,s performance was the worst. I mean, we know her dancing skills, and was basically being led everywhere until she did the thing with her hands akin to Geneva vs Mhi'ya, and the song is not the greatest tbh, definitely less iconic and more bland than Show Off, and far below Legs. Her hanbok was gorgeous tho!

[@MakuraZalis]

The best finale song before Goddess was pray and slay. Bob's is a close second imho

[@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged]

Kim’s performance was the worst, but her actual song was better written than Bob’s

[@ColinLeeP]

I liked Bob's song better?

[@leomc5595]

Id love a video of queens that won in the last episode if it doesnt exist already

[@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged]

This is the closest I've done, but the audio quality is ROUGH kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXasfHiNa9eggJY

[@user-vz2ey4we1m]

I actually loved all the S8 finale original songs

[@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged]

They were all great, but I felt Bob’s was the least great. Performance wise she was second though

[@Moonf1shDoron]

Wait, people didn't like Bob's finale song and thought it was the worst? I loved it and thought it was the biggest reflection of Bob's run

[@audacity1970]

Finally some1 admits that Kandy won the final lip sync, even though Jimbo taking it still would've been fair

[@Inki_Inc]

Mo, should have won AS4. Rewatch it she didn’t deserve a single bottom placement. Both of her bttms were clear Safes, which actually would give her the best track record over trinity.

[@henriklarssoneurovisioncha6515]

About Kandi, didnt she fight back also they wanted to switch the finale lipsync song as well?

[@ezemilionis7842]

Bob's song was my favourite with Naomi's💀

[@edwinbrower]

Silly’s roach dress is a Hairspray reference!

[@OccamsSledgehammer]

100% Katya would win today. 1,000% even. Alaska and Detox are amazing. Katya is still the clear winner.

[@mxhmp]

I love katya but alaska is just so much better in everything lol

[@tadatada1234]

because the show is much more of a popularity contest now

[@MakuraZalis]

Detox won the finale. Everyone knows that.

[@harry490]

Katya was third because she WAS third

[@Xauddd]

Alaska won the final and had the best vers out of the top 4 and was the best in the lipsync along side detox yall are delusional 💀

[@aarif9078]

Naomi over Kimchi is outrageous.

[@matryoshka69]

Katya devoured the finale, but her runway was the weakest imo

[@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged]

That’s fair. Thepicture is pretty bad, but on the actual show I enjoyed it

[@Mitch-Alex]

Brooke Lynn should have won S11. Period.

[@hannah3146]

Alaska was so patchy in that read you wrote you!

[@sugarcrash423]

3:45 how can u say that when literally Jinkx won being the worst on the finale 🧠??

[@DqualynAugustine]

Hey, i hope you see this comment but i have an idea for a video. What if yo did a video for songs that should be retired from drag rac. Weather good because the girls killed it (yvie vs brooklyn sorry not sorry) or horrible lipsyncs (no scrubs silky vs nina)

[@joshuarodriguez6424]

Thought the list was actually going to be objective bye x

[@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged]

I dont know how I would objectively make a list like this

[@marcusmelancon3426]

Also for all stars 4 Mo had the only final 4 look that I did not like sure she had fine details but it was all black you couldn’t even see them I think that’s what cut her and Trinity was always in that final 2 I think they cut Mo and put Monet in her place

[@kylerross1819]

Bruh wrong Peppermint photo. How are going to make a claim for a queen being on this list and not use their actual Finale look. Do better for Miss Peppermint

[@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged]

It was one of her finale looks. She wore two

[@Keribels-Q2]

Sister your commentary is very biased( not just in this video but in most videos). Tone it down a little bit.

[@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged]

Which video?

[@leoaurch]

stop lying omg

[@lonellfletcher]

Bob was given the worst song? Uh........

[@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged]

What song was worse?

[@GenshinLacres]

Katya's verse was good, but not the best at all.

[@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged]

Who was better?

[@left2rightanimations561]

sapphira should be here. great runway, great solo preformance. great finale lipsync. yall always so quick to discredit darkskinned queens.

[@darkishere233]

clock it.

[@RuPaulsDragRaceRejudged]

She did an all around good job, but I don’t see her overall package that episode as an all time great

[@aespugic]

although i agree with sapphira being in this video i dont think she had the best showing in the final lipsync

[@kao_0]

Nah, it's just that sapphira looked like she left Nymphia to win with that finale lipsync. The solo Performance was bomb tho.

[@Nate-ht4se]

4/6 of the queens in this video are black so if you’re gonna try to weaponize ethnic identity cause you’re mad about someone’s opinion then at least don’t make it such an obvious reach
