Update! 8/20/2024. Hey everyone, season 4 has been muted by TH-cam. I was trying out a new feature where they mute the background music which was copy right struck when the video first went up. Then it just muted the entire section. Unfortunately it seems I can't reverse it which is really frustrating. Sorry for any inconvenience
Like they said above thank you for the pinned comment. I literally swapped earbuds, reversed to season 3, then finally thought “maybe I should check the description and comments” lol. Whoops
Could you possibly put your commentary in a comment for us to refer back to? I loved hearing your opinion of "This Will Be" since it's quite possibly my favorite lip sync of all time!
@@dylannolastname730it's even funnier to me that it was MIMI of all people reacting like that, you know, the same person who went and picked up India when she was losing lmao
Dida Ritz’s performances bring me to tears and I won’t pretend I don’t know why. The energy, the love, the fire is always there and her “This Will Be” is without fault. She is one of the best.
giving trinity k. bonet the respect she deserves!! she truly embodies every song she performs so good to see her on here especially after the tomfoolery on all-stars- 😭
I love how in Morgan vs Sonique Sahara says “this is a lipsync not a gymnastics competition” because like… nowadays people are mad if you DONT pull those stunts
They don’t know what they’re talking about, clearly. We remember Morgan as the winner because she knew that a great lip sync takes SO much more than just physicality
Laganja vs Joselyn to Stupid girls is extremely underrated! They were in sync with their splits. Joselyn kept up with laganja, and it should have been a double save imo.
@@Phoenixkane Very true. She seems to have been focusing on acting and singing the past few years, and has been on Broadway and her own tour. I could see why she might decline.
@@kellygreengables3936 I mean I agree, she really doesnt need AllStars, she´s doing amazing in her career but it´s just me wishing she´ll do it one day :(
I think if the winner was only based on lip syncs no one was sending Katya home except Kennedy. She was amazing. Everyone talks about Aja in the All Stars talent show but when Kennedy flipped on to that high thing she made it look effortless
fascinated by Utica is so underrated like, my god, she was just stealing the spot light constantly, she had so many fun moves and little gags that for me it might one of the best lip syncs without any splits and reveals
I was honestly surprised that Utica slayed as much as she did. Definitely thought that she was one of the look queens who did not perform but I am glad that K was proven wrong
@@buneneman1901 Going into her season I loved Utica but at the same time I thought she wouldn't be the best lipsyncer, BOY did she prove me wrong in the best way
21:34 *I have been arguing this point for months and I feel so vindicated that you agree* Monét is so magnetic and embodies every song she does. Though her track record of wins and losses in lipsyncs is iffy, she still kills it every time. I mean Good As Hell, Old MacDonald, Supernova, and Swish Swish are all losses for Monét, but I think she did an incredible job with all of them. Especially Swish Swish, I still need the full cut of her performance. People still don't give Monét the respect she deserves as a performer and winner.
Well yes and no… With No Scrubs there was no one doing good. In the 6-way lipsync Plastique, Scarlet & Ra’jah were doing pretty good and giving their all in the right energy. So comparing; the No Scrubs lipsync is a notorious lipsync that deserves a double sashay.
SAME ! Tbh that was the moment I felt Jaida won the season ! When Jaida stared at Ru in the first 5 seconds ! Personally that’s when she won in my eyes !!!!!
I think This Will Be An Everlasting Love will be my favorite lipsync ever. The gag of Dida looking like Natalie Cole performing Natalie Cole in front of Natalie Cole who is cheering her on truly is peak Drag and there's no way to top that.
I feel like what makes 100% Pure Love so rewatchable is not only Denali’s 100% pure moves but the way Kahmora gracefully fought while limited with her dress. While it looks like another Charlie moment, Kahmora fought hard with her visuals and the little gestures such as drawing a heart at the “pure love” lyric. Just watching her is just as fun because I feel like both of them captured the vibes of the song in different ways and it’s just so so great overall.
That is true she actually did a good job despite not being able to do much I really think they should let queens change out if a runway look that they can’t completely perform in like All Stars though but I think Charlie’s just didn’t flow as well lol
“Falling” was so underrated, that when Monet asked Silky on Pit Stop who is the best lipsyncer from season 14 on lalaparuza episode. She was truly shocked to hear Deja, cause she thought she never lip synced. She even responded with “I’ve never seen her performing”
the right stuff is iconic….. venus teleporting on and off the stage, FLAILING that pony tail, aggressiveky stomping over to shangela just to push her, shangelas shoe FLYING off, mimi saying ‘the lipsync is starting to getting a little violent’…… i cannot listen to this song and not burst out laughing anymore
And the fact Martha Wash was present too. Plus, Martha is pretty underappreciated in her own right, especially the fact she had to sue to get her rights for the iconic hooks she did in the 90s
Thank you so much for highlighting "Whatta Man" I always feel that it's underrated. I do think the best lipsync of s12 is definitely "Firework". Jeff Goldblum crying, everyone else crying, Jackie having her moment-it's just perfect! I enjoyed this video and your commentary a lot thank you!
I love Latrice vs Dida but damn girl, Kenya vs Milan was phenomenal. Phenomenal isn’t even an exaggeration in the slightest, both queens are great performers that gave everything. I can’t even talk about this lip sync without emphasising how good I think it is yet literally no one talks about it.
Milan did a lot, like a dramatic, excessive amount in lip syncs BUT you could tell she wanted it. She and Kenya literally vogued, lip synced, and did acrobatics. That takes a lot of stamina and talent.
I’m sad he didn’t mention that one, it’s THE underrated lipsync and I think would get way more praise if Milan or Kenya didn’t have reputations for being messy lipsyncers because everything they did in Vogue was CORRECT.
honestly that's the best lipsync of s4 when you consider both performances. solo performance is still dida on everlasting love but goddamn, milan and kennya killed it
I went to Monet’s comedy show this past summer (AS7 was about mid-way through airing) and when an audience member asked her what her best lip sync was she said Pound the Alarm. She’s so entertaining and joyous to watch!
After 3 seasons, dida ritz was the first one where I really got chills and tremendous admiration for drag. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the other previous lip syncs that were on the show, just that she devoured
The music in the background wasn't distracting yet elevated the video. 10/10 and I am now subscribing after definitely being apart of the percentages in the beginning of your vids.
No Tears Left To Cry is SO underrated! Symone served up comedic and a fun lip-sync and the tension between her and Utica because of their friendship was delicious
The thing about symone for me is that even tho the gimmick was used every time. She just served face to an extent we've never seen before that, for me, was nearly undeniable. I think she also got lucky tho that she never got a song that really challenged her style of lip sync. Imagine if she got neutron dance or vibeology 😂
Honestly I think the Kill the Lights lipsync between Heidi and Jackie in S12 is VERY underrated. I honestly thought it was a completely deserved double shantay because they did two very different things that managed to be very effective. The main critique I hear is that Jackie was too one-note and cringy but I honestly don't think it would've come off that way when watching it irl.
Thank you! The Dida/Latrice lip sync has always been my favorite. It’s the first time we really saw what a powerhouse Latrice Royale is. Highly underrated.
"...and I am Telling you" is my favorite lip sync of all, and I too cry every time I watch it ( even more now that beautiful Chi Chi is gone). Even Thorgy knew she didn't stand a chance and raised Chi chi's hand at the end as the winner. It was pure soul, passion, and magic ... RIP Chi Chi 🙏 🕊
I haven’t finished yet, but i just need to say the dida lip-sync gives me literal chills down my spine every time! Even just the five seconds you showed wt sound gave me chills. That’s talent.
I'll never understand just how all of these queens can do these flips and STILL land perfectly, wearing pumps or heels. So highly skilled. I would be so afraid to break my foot and ankle. Fierce. 💜💋🤝
Before the Greedy lipsync, I never cared for the song. After the lipsync, I listened it on repeat for 2 years and became a funeral song for me. Valentina made it so iconic
I love your longer videos, it allows you to dig a little deeper and really express your opinion. I'm really looking forward to your take on the international seasons, they're not watched by as many people as the US seasons, so it feels like the opinions vary more
I enjoy going back to watch "this is a lip-sync, what about that do you not understand" in the same way as you described watching "Drag is not a contact sport" . It's just very fun TV
For season 4, I will always love the You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman lipsync. Latrice is serving WOMANA with her fake pregnant belly and Kenya is so chaotic that it's laughable. An underrated lipsync for sure imo
that “if you seek amy” lip sync with denali and rosé is one of my favorites they’re two of my favorite queens having a fantastic time and turning it hard and i love it
I've never understood why DRUK doesn't have any commentary during the lip syncs. Some of my favorite commentary was during lip syncs, like Willam. Omg so funny
I'd honestly put Good 4 U as my most underrated of Season 14. Daya is a much better lip sync than I expected and she demolished that song, she sold every single moment and I can not take my eyes off of her whenever I rewatch it.
I love your videos so much Jack, it’s so refreshing to have someone in the DR community who’s always focusing on the positive/real side of the show, rather than focus on the “robbed” side, let’s call it. Even when you have opinions that are different to mine, when it starts in my head I’m like “omg no he’s wrong” and then you explain and I’m like “oh wait no he has a valid point” 😂 keep spreading your joy hun ❤
You picked the right " best " for s03 ! It's an ICONIC number ! ( now that I have watched the entire video, SOOOOO many of your pics were really nice ! )
Peppermint performing music I think actually changed my DNA. I rewatched it ENDLESSLY and started listening to Madonna because I was obsessed with how Pep performed it
The way I interpret what Katya was saying is that you have to think of it like a skill tree in a video game. You start out with no skills unlocked but you can put talent and experience into various branching paths, and at the end of it they all converge and you can unlock the lip syncing skill, but you can’t do it in reverse. You need to be able to sing, dance, and act to be able to be a great lipsyncer. And you can’t start out intending to be a great lipsyncer without those abilities already unlocked.
denali wasn’t “hindered” by the dress, she tweeted that it had a reveal just like liv’s in her first lip sync, but she chose not to use it because it wasn’t the song
the fact that season 14 had 3 Beyoncé songs shows how big of a budget they had! 👏🏽 because do you know how hard it is for Beyoncé (who owns her masters) to let any show get licensing to her music?! I’m impressed
Monet as a lipsync assassin is *chef's kiss*. You know a lipsyncer is phenomenal when OTHER lipsync assassins who regularly kill their lipsyncs get nervous that they'll have to go against you.
I love when lipsyncs introduce me to new songs specially when they are so good I start listening to the songs on a daily basis. Anyways it was such an entraining video
The queens at the back of the stage during My Humps look like the character options in a really weird combat arcade game. Choose your fighter: sad green scuba diver, forgotten walk-around character from that time the Muppets were going to “take over” Disneyland, 👁👁, cartoon demon getting her whole life…
as a minneapolis native it makes me so happy to hear love for my girl mercedes iman diamond :’)) she’s such a sweet person and an ELECTRIC performer and she deserves all the flowers!!!
I agree with most of your choices! This really just cemented for me how much i love the way Dida and TKB slayed lipsyncs on their seasons. They’re still my favorites after all this time.
The most underrated lip sync of season 5 for me has to be Coco vs Jade. Coco obviously ate up I’m So Excited but Jade also really put up a fight and did really well they were both so good and it was an entertaining lip sync overall
I'm gonna put my underrated lip syncs of each season: S1: Bebe vs. Nina: I know that's the lip sync for the crown but I think it was a great one, both of them did really good and the fan base doesn't talk about it too much. S2: Sahara vs. Morgan. I agree 1000% with everything you said. We miss u Sahara. S3: Alexis vs. Shangela. It's a really beautiful song and both of them really gave the emotional amount the song needed. Alexis is one of the BEST lip syncers ever! She can give you dance, comedy, Emotion, everything! S4: Milan vs. Kenya. I h@te that people remember Kenya for the awful Natural woman lip sync, when this was perfection for both performers! I mean, such an iconic song (Vogue) and they gave their all! S5: Detox vs. Lineysha. I think this is the most likely to fade into the background but both of them did amazing. S6: TKB vs. April. Both of them were amazing! And this lip sync is not discussed enough imo. S7: Kandy vs. Kasha. I think this is a really good lip sync, both did a fantastic job and both are so underrated queens. I want them back ASAP. S8: Naomi vs. Acid. 100% agree. Naomi is an icon. S9: Alexis vs. Farrah. I think this lip sync is really good. Both did great, and it's a country lip sync that is good, so it's a plus! The fandom doesn't talk about it too much because both queens are not the most liked from the season. S10: Mayhem vs. Yuhua. They slayed. Period. S11: Vanjie vs. Shuga. The EMOTIONAL delivery from Vanjie was so unexpected and so great to watch. S12: Heidi vs. Jaida. Such a fun energy and they gave everything! S13: Lala vs. Elliott. Yes, the things miss 2T's has said are really condemnable and it sucks she doesn't seem to have learned her lesson, but this lip sync was unexpectedly great! Both were amazing! S14: Willow vs. Bosco. I know the song is not the most "drag", but damn, Willow did amazing! She was sexy, silly, emotional, all at the same time! My favorite lip syncer is definitely Miss Trinity K. Bonet. She can embody any song, give emotion, sex, great dancing and she is magnetic onstage. Great video as always!
I've got to use my imagination is ALL TIME for me, there is a second where Latrice is clapping as the instrumentals get more dramatic and she bends her back perfectly on beat to it, facing away from the camera, her wig whips back, just taken by that accent of the drum. It literally sent shivers down my spine my first watch and I still think about it
Update! 8/20/2024. Hey everyone, season 4 has been muted by TH-cam. I was trying out a new feature where they mute the background music which was copy right struck when the video first went up. Then it just muted the entire section. Unfortunately it seems I can't reverse it which is really frustrating. Sorry for any inconvenience

The fact that Paula Abdul’s spirit possesses every drag queen that LipSyncs to her songs. All of them are iconic.
Literally. We hadn’t had a single bad performance to Paula Abduls song.
Even in Opposites Attract Mimi did well, can’t say the same about Chad tho

Iconic a decade later AND changed the show so there's a drink limit
The funniest thing about Shangela vs Venus is that when Shangie does the dip you can see her shoe fly off at supersonic speed
And you can see Venus doing it in slow-motion in the background too 😂

Dida Ritz’s performances bring me to tears and I won’t pretend I don’t know why. The energy, the love, the fire is always there and her “This Will Be” is without fault. She is one of the best.
Ms Cole started waving her hankie and saying Yes! Dida took Ms Cole to church with her own song!🙌🏽
It’s a moment that feels so happy. Like the epitome of the best of queer culture.
She put her entire souuuul into that one
Miss thing Did That!
Makes me cry every time too
Chi Chi vs. thorgy makes me cry everytime. What a wonderful performance by an amazing queen. She is dearly missed ♥️♥️
Whenever I see that performance, I imagine Che Che performaning the song in the play/movie.
Say it again! RIP to an angel on Earth. 😊❤
That song belonged to Chi Chi as of that moment

YES
For real.
Joselyn herself is incredibly underrated, REALLY want to see her come back sometime
Honestly I agree that was a really good lip sync that isn’t talked about enough
Absolutely 💯
Venus vs Shangela was one of the CAMPIEST lipsyncs of all time. The way it was edited was incredible and high art.

Nina reminded me a lot of Trinity K. Bonet. A great performer who was also in her own head A LOT, which hindered her in the competition.
And it was one of the most watched lip syncs of all time.

Thank you for making my Tuesday 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The way that Betty kicked Naomis kamoto off the stage is funny as hell to me
I still to this day CANT listen to “and I am telling you “ without seeing Chi Chi ❤❤ rest in power queen we miss you 💕🤍
i love how it’s a universal truth that if double shantays had existed in season 1, bebe and ongina would have been a double shantay
Wow I forgot how amazing Utica looked for the Beast look!
I love your longer videos, it allows you to dig a little deeper and really express your opinion. I'm really looking forward to your take on the international seasons, they're not watched by as many people as the US seasons, so it feels like the opinions vary more
I enjoy going back to watch "this is a lip-sync, what about that do you not understand" in the same way as you described watching "Drag is not a contact sport" .
It's just very fun TV
For season 4, I will always love the You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman lipsync. Latrice is serving WOMANA with her fake pregnant belly and Kenya is so chaotic that it's laughable. An underrated lipsync for sure imo
Yes, I think Denali absolutely slayed, but we don’t talk about how hard Kahmora SERVED. Like it is sooo Charisma Uniqueness Nerve and Talent
that “if you seek amy” lip sync with denali and rosé is one of my favorites
they’re two of my favorite queens having a fantastic time and turning it hard and i love it
This video is so good 😭😭 kudos my guy this must have taken FOREVER
tkb lipsyncs were electrifying that camera was proud of her in season 6
28:39 “Jan was definitely also there” is probably the most unintentionally shady comments I’ve ever heard 😂
Swept away really made me fall in love with that song. It’s now my favorite Diana Ross song based off of the performance Jasmine and Bosco gave
I've never understood why DRUK doesn't have any commentary during the lip syncs. Some of my favorite commentary was during lip syncs, like Willam. Omg so funny
"I am living, c'mon on Cirque du Soleil" by Shuga Cain lives rent free in my head or Akeria's commentary during the No Scrubs lip sync
Sometimes is better than actual lip sync, aka A'keria's "Walrus out of water"
I'd honestly put Good 4 U as my most underrated of Season 14. Daya is a much better lip sync than I expected and she demolished that song, she sold every single moment and I can not take my eyes off of her whenever I rewatch it.
16:45 fair enough, but when they flipped each other off?! ICONIC 😂😂😂
I love your videos so much Jack, it’s so refreshing to have someone in the DR community who’s always focusing on the positive/real side of the show, rather than focus on the “robbed” side, let’s call it. Even when you have opinions that are different to mine, when it starts in my head I’m like “omg no he’s wrong” and then you explain and I’m like “oh wait no he has a valid point” 😂 keep spreading your joy hun ❤
Trinity K bonet. Will forever be one of the BEST performances ever on DragRace. Please put her on Uk vs The World!!!!
You picked the right " best " for s03 !
It's an ICONIC number !
( now that I have watched the entire video, SOOOOO many of your pics were really nice ! )
I just spent about 15 minutes writing my own out, and I agree with a fair few of yours! Love the video!
Peppermint performing music I think actually changed my DNA. I rewatched it ENDLESSLY and started listening to Madonna because I was obsessed with how Pep performed it
Thoroughly enjoyed this ! Can’t wait for your all stars / international lipsync video next
The way I interpret what Katya was saying is that you have to think of it like a skill tree in a video game. You start out with no skills unlocked but you can put talent and experience into various branching paths, and at the end of it they all converge and you can unlock the lip syncing skill, but you can’t do it in reverse. You need to be able to sing, dance, and act to be able to be a great lipsyncer. And you can’t start out intending to be a great lipsyncer without those abilities already unlocked.
Morgan/Sahara is still my best lip sync of all time. Lip syncing en pointe is so fierce
Dida’s lip sync really did it for me.
Absolutely legendary ❤
I will defend country music till the day I die, but you kind of need the right queens for it lmao
I will always go and find Latrice doing Natural Woman with a baby bump and Kenya being her back up dancer.
Adore u! ❤❤❤❤❤
denali wasn’t “hindered” by the dress, she tweeted that it had a reveal just like liv’s in her first lip sync, but she chose not to use it because it wasn’t the song
the fact that season 14 had 3 Beyoncé songs shows how big of a budget they had! 👏🏽 because do you know how hard it is for Beyoncé (who owns her masters) to let any show get licensing to her music?! I’m impressed
Monet as a lipsync assassin is *chef's kiss*. You know a lipsyncer is phenomenal when OTHER lipsync assassins who regularly kill their lipsyncs get nervous that they'll have to go against you.
peppermint could do the worm to classical music and we would be fine with it. it’s peppermint. she’ll make it work.
I love when lipsyncs introduce me to new songs specially when they are so good I start listening to the songs on a daily basis. Anyways it was such an entraining video
The queens at the back of the stage during My Humps look like the character options in a really weird combat arcade game. Choose your fighter: sad green scuba diver, forgotten walk-around character from that time the Muppets were going to “take over” Disneyland, 👁👁, cartoon demon getting her whole life…
as a minneapolis native it makes me so happy to hear love for my girl mercedes iman diamond :’)) she’s such a sweet person and an ELECTRIC performer and she deserves all the flowers!!!
I agree with most of your choices! This really just cemented for me how much i love the way Dida and TKB slayed lipsyncs on their seasons. They’re still my favorites after all this time.
8:13 that jump was a defining moment in my life. I think of my life in two eras: before and after that jump.
Loving these lists! 👏
The most underrated lip sync of season 5 for me has to be Coco vs Jade. Coco obviously ate up I’m So Excited but Jade also really put up a fight and did really well they were both so good and it was an entertaining lip sync overall
Same. Much better than Take me Home, and both are giving everything they have.
I'm gonna put my underrated lip syncs of each season:
S1: Bebe vs. Nina: I know that's the lip sync for the crown but I think it was a great one, both of them did really good and the fan base doesn't talk about it too much.
S2: Sahara vs. Morgan. I agree 1000% with everything you said. We miss u Sahara.
S3: Alexis vs. Shangela. It's a really beautiful song and both of them really gave the emotional amount the song needed. Alexis is one of the BEST lip syncers ever! She can give you dance, comedy, Emotion, everything!
S4: Milan vs. Kenya. I h@te that people remember Kenya for the awful Natural woman lip sync, when this was perfection for both performers! I mean, such an iconic song (Vogue) and they gave their all!
S5: Detox vs. Lineysha. I think this is the most likely to fade into the background but both of them did amazing.
S6: TKB vs. April. Both of them were amazing! And this lip sync is not discussed enough imo.
S7: Kandy vs. Kasha. I think this is a really good lip sync, both did a fantastic job and both are so underrated queens. I want them back ASAP.
S8: Naomi vs. Acid. 100% agree. Naomi is an icon.
S9: Alexis vs. Farrah. I think this lip sync is really good. Both did great, and it's a country lip sync that is good, so it's a plus! The fandom doesn't talk about it too much because both queens are not the most liked from the season.
S10: Mayhem vs. Yuhua. They slayed. Period.
S11: Vanjie vs. Shuga. The EMOTIONAL delivery from Vanjie was so unexpected and so great to watch.
S12: Heidi vs. Jaida. Such a fun energy and they gave everything!
S13: Lala vs. Elliott. Yes, the things miss 2T's has said are really condemnable and it sucks she doesn't seem to have learned her lesson, but this lip sync was unexpectedly great! Both were amazing!
S14: Willow vs. Bosco. I know the song is not the most "drag", but damn, Willow did amazing! She was sexy, silly, emotional, all at the same time!
My favorite lip syncer is definitely Miss Trinity K. Bonet. She can embody any song, give emotion, sex, great dancing and she is magnetic onstage.
Great video as always!
Here are my one for season 15:
Best: Boss Bitch
Worst: Running up the hill
Underrated: you better run
I can't hear 'two of hearts' without thinking about Party Monster
I've got to use my imagination is ALL TIME for me, there is a second where Latrice is clapping as the instrumentals get more dramatic and she bends her back perfectly on beat to it, facing away from the camera, her wig whips back, just taken by that accent of the drum. It literally sent shivers down my spine my first watch and I still think about it
I definitely agree about Chi Chi. Thank you for adding her as she will always remain awesome in people's mind.
Season 7
Best: Roar lip sync
Worst: really don't care
Underrated: break free
This is the correct one
19:42 the fact that they didn’t even put the word “by” speaks volumes about… something. not sure what. but certainly something!
I always said it. Monet is such an underrated lipsyner.
