ive heard that coco's routine was nearly 20 minutes long which just adds to the s tier insanity of it

[@nathans.5911]

Girl Coco is old , she would have passed out 😅

[@evo3481]

Coco is one of the best if not the best performer that has ever been on drag race no matter how old she is so she definitely wouldn’t faint. She performs in las vegas with other Ru girls and whenever someone cant perform their set another queen usually covers for them. Coco is the alternate for all the queens meaning she knows the choreo for everyone. Not a single queen other than her knows all the choreo

I’m always underwhelmed by queens who lipsync for their talent.

[@ggomglol]

Fr how is your special talent gonna be the thing that queens do at the end of every single episode. Every queen could theoretically do lip syncing as their talent, choosing it seems like missing the point of a talent show

[@jasoneng5627]

@@ggomglol I think it’s okay if the queen brings in something different to elevate the performance like what Jax did. I’d prefer that over queens doing an original song but not knowing how to sing 😭

[@HomoErected]

@@jasoneng5627I agree but that’s because her talent is dancing, more so than just lip syncing

[@sofiesusi]

been watching through a bunch of seasons with a friend and we guess before each talent show how many will be lip syncs because we also hate it. the eyeroll every time an original song lip sync comes on

[@seemsfishy23]

Aja was the only one to do it successfully imo

[@Chris-ot9bk]

kinda uncommon opinion: farrah's talent show isn't bad at all. she just fell and everybody rolled with it bc while she's a great queen, she wasn't gonna win AS4

[@femalediablos]

I feel the same, actually. I believe she said on Maddy's show that it was choreographed by Sasha Colby? I also wonder if she slipped in the first take, also or if the editors were just being mean.

[@cassidyauld6413]

[@Chris-ot9bk]

@@femalediablos i heard different stuff. some say she slipped once, others said twice so idk

[@getitoutofme]

Honestly her burlesque was still quite underwhelming. It was all stuff you'd learn in your first beginners burlesque class. She wasn't really elevating it in any way, she had a scared look on her face from the minute she came out which doesn't read sexy.

[@Arenumberg]

It goes deeper than that, doesnt it? I thought she basically had less rehearsal time than others and also had the layout changed so everything was off from where it should of been, but hey, she still rolled with it.

[@viniciuschase]

For me, Mayhem's number was pure insanity tier. The way she invented her own language trying to cover up the fact that she forgot her own lyrics is just too iconic for me 😂

[@clandestinecoherence]

she was casting spells!

[@markalexander3659]

The thing with Gia laughing was a shady edit, Gia was laughing at something completely different but they made it LOOK like she was laughing at Farrah to play up the drama between them. Also, Latrice badly fucked up her talent in one of the two takes they did, but they showed the good one. Not sure why they didn't do that for Ferrah.

[@vickycordelia2555]

i think i remember reading that she fell during both takes

[@Majik1387]

@@vickycordelia2555she only fell on first take, not the second.

[@Syren020]

She fell during the first take, but apparently it really flustered her during the second take. So it was either show her falling, or show her looking extremely shaky for no reason.

[@MarioMVasilev]

Cause she let the failed first take get to her head

[@tinkrtailr]

It's cause she got critiques from the first performance and since she didn't want viewers to get confused so she told production to use the first take

[@Crisopeia]

I feel like part of Irene's downfall is Ru not understanding internet humour... that talent show feels more like a hilarious youtube skit rather than a comedy show to do in front of the oldest crossdresser alive :p

[@harrywright1322]

No it's Irene not understanding that this is an inappropriate platform for this skit. Live reviews of the longer version have also been very mixed.

Irene's performance could have been soo good, but the way she planned and realized it missed the mark. The idea was amazing, it just needed another dimension to it.

[@mirandag.3277]

i remember when the season came out and people were saying that when she does that performance is usually like 3x longer than the time restraints in the show. i thought it was so funny but i think her having to cut it down to two minutes just killed her. i'd love to see it in all of its glory tbh

[@Kidomaru222]

i really don't see it. I don't see how that's a good idea at all. Parodying YT tutorials is already extremely tired. That's not even really a thing anymore. She's like 5 years late.

[@lisamujo287]

I always think of Gia’s comment about her talent show lol. “Girl soak up what? I mean maybe some of that sweat on that forehead” Idk I personally think it’s iconic even though I’m obsessed with them both

[@Ghostface1998]

Bob getting any chance to laugh at monet is always funny cause her talent show was for me so bad it’s good cause I’m entertained with how bad it is and Gia’s commentary sends me every time😂. I’m glad the first time someone ever did stand up for a talent that actually succeeded was Darriene lake cause stand up talents pretty much guaranteed a bttm placement. Let loose was one of the best moments of drag race season 15.

[@totsss]

the fact that farrah moan fell TWICE (I mean both takes) it’s WILD

[@chelseataylor5244]

I just watched the drag financial and the amount of work and money she put into that performance and look and set. Devastating. She paid Sasha Colby to choreograph it. I feel bad for her.

[@ordinaryorca9334]

I don't think she fell twice. I remember her saying her second take was shaky but without a fall, producers then asked (pushed for) her to allow the second take to be included as it would be hard to work around it. She stupidly agreed and now realises that was a lie to manipulate her for views and a viral moment when she was low.

Farrah Moan would've been safe, if she had thrown that piece of fabric over her head to the back of the stage, or beckoned an audience member over and put it around their neck (like I've seen several burlesque performers do).
