Peppermint swallowed diamonds, did the robot, and took a shotty to CLF on stage during their Music performance. Never forget.

[@jamesmckee329]

A bit of overkill, I love CuCu anyone else fair game

[@sunnygolightly9996]

There is no bigger annihilation than that lip sync. The worst part is that Cynthia is actually trying, but the sheer different levels of skillsets was almost comical.

[@lueagle09]

This might be in the VH1 era (season 9), so be patient

Rest in peace chi chi ☀️

[@moonstoneuniverse8516]

I will never forget Akashia when she lip sync to “wo wo wo BREAK THE DAAAAWWWWNNNN!!!” That was powerful

[@elijahray315]

“It’s a ballad and you’ll stay!” Makes me cackle every time I hear it. If it was on a T shirt I would buy it in every color 😂❤❤

[@REKIEV]

Context please, i love that phrase

[@berouja]

Can you do US queens by state? Like which state had the most queens, which queen is the first on their state...

[@MissesMaam6969]

Scarlatta Montaray getting her black white & red all over life this episode!!! She looks so stunning

[@adamtexhill2400]

For these looks. You two are giving the hot popular sister and her hot goth sister. Love y’all!

You are lying !!! Don’t joke about That! I will fight you !

[@Himmel.Himmel]

@@Rajj-gc8loit’s real beloved

[@joeytravis8752]

I think Naomi vs Acid could’ve absolutely made the list too. There was no debate that Naomi obliterated Acid

[@melpomenathemuse]

Jade Jolie put a good fight against Coco. It wasn’t a bad performance at all. Same with April Carrion. These shouldn’t be on this list.

[@c.k.8585]

I have to agree. Coco and TKB were amazing in both of those but it's not like the other person disappeared (or even worse, you wanted them to disappear). Honestly I paid less attention to Alyssa on her lip sync vs Coco (those sleeves!); Jade was fun to watch.

[@DarkAngel459]

I immediately thought the same about the Coco/Jade lip sync when the screenshot was shown. Coco definitely won, but Jade was really energetic and engaging as well.

[@goossey2307]

Something about Scarlatta is giving me Elviris (Elvis+Elvira)

[@lueagle09]

Elviris, the drag name for Covid 😂😂😂😂

[@goossey2307]

[@gardenlover9663]

I have a Pavlovian response to Dida. Everytime a photo is shown of her singing to Natalie, I begin to cry. Showing Natalie so much respect and love just gets me!

[@TheDopekitty]

Cold hearted snake is coco's best one, i also love her When I grow up

[@PrisonHoney96]

Love Kita, but Spankie Jackson is my top pick for a down under girl for all winners. I can’t even begin to explain the warm and happy feeling I get watching Spankie Jackson just be herself and I’d die to see her, Ru, and Michelle interact again

[@xviolaa]

Definitely. She's from the only actually good Down Under season too

[@Sunny-vp7lr]

I think Shannel vs Akashia should be on this list for sure because Shannel ate that and he for real what did Akashia do in that lipsync?

[@Rajj-gc8lo]

This don’t even make sense it was a ballad and it was Neck and neck. Shannel just edged it. You are reaching so hard, this wasn’t trinity k vs April or anything. Stop tryna make fetch happen.

[@maximeminassian6002]

People get so mad over Kandy staying in the rusical episode but like, you can make the argument that she and Symone were neck and neck in the lip sync. Dela on the other hand got absolutely crushed by Darienne and was kept solely because production liked her, that’s not even a debate.

[@Rajj-gc8lo]

I agree symone and Kandy gave two different energies

[@laincoubert7236]

i'm glad we're finally having this conversation! i always felt like they both served in their own ways, if gun to the head i had to choose one i'd choose symone to shantay, but overall i wasn't mad both got to stay simply cause they gave their all.

[@Rajj-gc8lo]

@@laincoubert7236 like juju and raven stood in place and cried and got a double Shantay “for emotional reasons” Ben got ate up and stayed. Roxxy and vanjie just got one. And none of those lip syncs were better than symone and Kandy.

[@c.k.8585]

I think the difference was that Dela was doing amazing in the competition; only place Kandy was doing well was in Untucked.

[@Rajj-gc8lo]

@@c.k.8585 i know you have a bias against certain queens but read what was said and tell me how your comment fits into context . We are talking about quality of lipsyncs stop going off topic. No one said anything about track record you just always have to bring down certain queens but if it’s Sasha velour , Sasha Colby or aquaria you Stan. 🫵🏻 been clocked . Stop it .

[@catt88]

Manila absolutely won the lipsync against Delta, but I don’t think it deserves to be the list. Delta put up a fight.

[@emanuelnev]

Jade Jolie actually did a great work in the I'm so Excited lipsync. If it has happenned on a recent season it could be a Double shantay

[@Rajj-gc8lo]

I humbly disagree, she had cute moments but it was over before it started .

[@DarkAngel459]

I agree. I think Coco won, but Jade was energetic and almost as engaging.

[@jamesmckee329]

Tammy has always had no fuchs to give, thats why i love her

[@c.k.8585]

And in AS1 she did show she is amazing in a song that is closer to her preference; her lip sync vs Latrice absolutely could have been a double save.

[@alyssack]

I still think about the absolute flex that was Coco pointing to her lips during the Cold Hearted lip sync

[@c.k.8585]

I think S8 had multiple cases were one queen absolutely was doing it solo and no one would actually pay attention to the other queen. Laila to Applause, Robbie to Mesmerized, Naomi to Causing a Commotion and then Derrick to I Love It all where absolutely one sided (I think Bob won as well cleanly but I still was looking to Derrick occasionally who was also doing well, just not as good).

[@troythompson7937]

I would’ve taken off Alyssa vs Coco cause I think they both SLAYED it and would have added Jinkx vs Detox because Jinkx absolutely annihilated it and was completely captivating and commanded your attention plus was super unexpected

[@luiscastillo5278]

Exactly. I was low key offended they called Alyssa predictable. Just saying

[@Ghilesian]

I didn't think Thorgy was desperate, more like going out on a fun note. Like how she presents Chichi as the winner; I assumed realised earlier and was like I'll go out with ✨a cool move✨

[@tinkerella]

personally, my fav lipsync of all time is pangina's to We Like To Party, the waacking was just so satisfying to me, i remember watching it like 50 times in a row

[@chenseler85]

“Manic Ballet” is probably the best way I’ve ever heard KM’s lip sync against Latrice described. 😂

[@sorosspy]

I think jade jolie hold their own against coco

[@guzmanj945]

We need a video of the queens with the most confessionals of each season

[@anthonyblocker97]

I was 1000% waiting for Denali’s 100% Pure Love Lip Sync and also Peppermint vs Cynthia 😮‍💨 but then I saw the title said “Logo Era” so I’m pleased and well fed by this content 😍

[@vincent_2232]

Ok on the note of Kita Mean - her memoir is objectively the best drag queen memoir I’ve read by a LAND SLIDE

[@TonyMunoz-i6p]

Thanks!

[@loslibrosdecarangi]

The Logo era was so good and I miss it so much. It was genuine and so overly produced. The queens came in fresh, without huge followings, and being themselves. I hope the current era would replicate that

[@TheDopekitty]

That shot of Akashia in the top left is soooo good

[@alanahstorey]

I can't hear "Whatta Man" without thinking about TKB or "Call Me" without thinking of Chichi 💖

[@charies8520]

I'm also curious to see if Nina B. Vs. Valentina will be on the next one. The only reason we remember Valentina in that lip-sinc is because of her face mask! Nina would've whooped her on that stage regardless. She bodied it!

[@sb308]

Same. I keep saying if Valentina had known the words then Nina would have still won

[@Rajj-gc8lo]

The way trinity k slayed milk!!

[@doug_d767]

Coco with the orange sleeves!! Incroyable!

[@ezemilionis7842]

also the fact that i was so uncultured watching season 4 yet I still fell in love with Dida’s performance, proves how good it is. It is my fave lip sync to date! (And now I’m cultured lol)

[@sherikrupp]

TKB doing Whatta Man changed my life. She was so hot 😂

[@niekklaver3030]

I would argue that Jade did an amazing job in "im so excited". I think she'd have sent home most people in the cast

[@wutarrwedoin]

I forgot how much I miss the old seasons. I remember when season 1 came out, and I loved it. The longer it's gone on, the more it became something completely different. Still enjoy watching, but not nearly as much as the old seasons. And then Ru is just a complete robot now lmao

[@nikfiendluvr666]

Trinity K Bonet vs Milk is the first one that comes to mind. Other than Dida Ritz obviously

[@rextrek]

41st Good Mangled lunchtime Mera & Scarlet ! MWAHAH xo :)

[@TexErinSydney]

Enjoyed this lip sync domination topic and look forward to more! Idea that I’d love to hear your lists…after Ross made the very bold statement that Jorgeous was the best dancer the shown has ever seen , who do y’all put on your lists as best dancers? (Because I think there’s several that need their flowers after Ross’s declaration)

[@charies8520]

I know everyone says detox held her own, but in jinx vs. Detox I can't remember a thing she did. Aside from her lip thing that she'd done in previous lip-sincs.

[@user-sg8ng9ur3x]

One lip sync I am shocked is not on this list is Detox vs. Lineysha Sparx. I was only focused on Detox, but even when they forced the focus on Lineysha, she didn't seem to know all the words to that song

[@Rajj-gc8lo]

This is such a hot take no one said This but you😂they both ate, detox never really mopped anyone .

[@icannot1104]

Lineysha served in her own right? To say that it was on the same level of any of these is wild. Detox won fairly . But it wasn’t a slay or demolish. You cannot debate if she was throgy’d or April’d .

[@user-sg8ng9ur3x]

@@icannot1104 and yet Thorgy and April's elimination lip syncs are both on here

[@melpomenathemuse]

Lineysha did very well in that lip sync. If that wasn’t Detox’s first lip sync she could easily go home, because she repeated the same moves later a lot.

[@icannot1104]

@@user-sg8ng9ur3x you responded so fast you forgot comprehension. I said you cannot debate if lineysha got thorgy’d or April’d. Meaning it was just a basic win. Nothing special fr.

[@DarkAngel459]

For me the Season 3 Shangela vs Carmen Carrera 'Believe' lip sync should be on the list. Every time I watch it I just cannot keep my eyes off Shangela, who performs one of the greatest 'death drops' in Drag Race herstory. But Shangela wins it when on the line, 'It's so sad that you're leaving.' she literally waves goodbye at Carmen Carrera.

[@TexErinSydney]

1:35 paused after hearing today’s topic to say the first two standouts in my head are ChiChi against Thorgy and Latrice’s “Natural Woman”

I would also consider Alyssa as a lipsync assasin

[@ezemilionis7842]

guys i love you

[@JONSTERLEE]

Another one that I think should have been included or honorably mentioned is Season 3 Alexis Mateo vs Shangela lip-syncing to "Even Angels" in front of Fantasia. I could not keep my eyes off Alexis. She was sooooooo good!

[@deyoncew3311]

From Season 8 I'd add Naomi vs. Acid and Bob vs. Derrick.

[@ezemilionis7842]

I know you guys love Shangela (so do I) but Alexis Mateo slayed her in that Fantasia lip sync. Alexis also murdered Stacy L.M! Give her the credit she deserves😭 You can tell she’s Coco’s sister

[@semmmysadook167]

i feel like Sahara danced circles, literally & figuratively, around Morgan in season 2. imo, i feel like Jade held her own against Coco & i might have to rewatch this video to see if it’s mentioned why yall stopped at season 8 🤔 cause i feel like Nina stood out against Aja in season 9.. but hopefully yall can make a part 2 one day 🙃 Appreciate & Love the CONTENT *slaps thighs*

[@sallyjordan-peck7940]

Tipping so I can complain about Drag Race streaming in Australia. So in Australia Drag Race streams on Stan. But because the non english language series's haven't been rating well, they've stopped buying the rights. We didn't get Belgium season 2, we're not getting France season 3 and probably not the upcoming seasons of Mexico and Espana. Those series are available on Wow Presents Plus but the US series aren't so if I want to watch both series currently airing I'd have to use 2 different streaming services

[@Ididnotwanttojoin]

I wish you'd mentioned the titles of the songs. I'm afraid I don't have them all memorized. HaHaHa Fun list, though.

[@arnaldocruz5486]

Where is Jinkx literally destroying Detox on season 5?!

[@tristengardner6487]

What about Alexis Mateo’s performance to Fantasia’s song?

[@user-sg8ng9ur3x]

That wasn't one sided

[@Rajj-gc8lo]

How is this equal to any of these ? No shade?

[@chrisguzman8986]

No review for drag race Mexico 2 ☹️?

I would say SHANGELA vs CARMEN. Shangela had been waiting for that moment and when the time came, she obliterated Carmen.

[@jamesblakeartwriting3653]

I think every lip sync in Season 8 was a clear obliteration! Laila owned Naysha RuPaul cancelled Laila and Dax Robbie wheeled out Cynthia Chi Chi stomped Naysha Naomi washed out Acid Derrick crashed Robbie Chi Chi outstayed Thorgy Bob closed the book on Derrick There was not a single lip-sync where I questioned the result

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

Jujubee peaked in Season 2!!!

[@moonstoneuniverse8516]

These performances are great, but when people say these are the best lip syncs of the season I always disagree because you’re only watching one person and it’s always a little sad. The only exception I would say I Dida 💙 because you just don’t care.

[@adrienpompon2142]
