Thorgy was always on the right side of herstory. This right here and voting for Shangela was always a boss move to me. LOVE Thory - she's a good seed on this earth.
What I love about the Chi Chi lipsync is how upset she was about breaking the necklace because she really cannot afford a lot, but she went with it and accepted it and incorporated it, she went through a lot but she showed her joy on that stage. rest in peace chi chi
Dida Ritz is a national treasure. Season 4 was 12 years ago and Dida is still quotable, memed, and celebrated to this day. It makes me sad that the show doesn’t seem to agree, in this day and age nobody wants to do All Stars anymore, Dida has glowed up immensely and has been patiently campaigning for years to return but has received absolutely nothing
I remember the exact moment I found out Chi Chi passed. I was on a call with a friend and hung up to cry. She deserved a life much longer than what she was given. I am telling you will forever be her song. RIP Angel ❤
I broke down crying. I don't remember where I was or what was going on, but I just broke. I had blocked it out for a while until just recently. My husband wanted to watch RPDR and so we started with a few compilations to start and Chi Chi popped up and I just broke and cried all over again. Rest in paradise Chi Chi.
I cannot hold myself from crying everytime someone mentions the ChiChi lipsync. She was one of my all time favorites, and when she passed away, i was in tears and kept rewatching that lipsync to remind me of the angel she was and how we lost such a beautiful soul. That lipsync should be the one to represent all drag race lipsyncs.
Marcia x3 vs Anetra is my personal favorite alongside Denali vs Kamorrah. Marcia x3 vs Anetra wouldnt have shocked me if it was a double win. The movements were clean, it fit the vibe, it fully caught my attention the whole time through. And what makes it so good is that BOTH were enteratining and you werent waiting for the other to be filmed
I totally thought that was going to be #1 (as much as I LOVE Chi Chi's)! I showed it to a friend who had never seen drag race, and she though Marcia x3 and Anetra were performing a choreographed number!
i have a theory that if the next episode wasn’t the rusical, it would have been them both staying. but since the next challenge was pre-written with only so many parts, if they’d let both stay they would have had to scramble to add a role, and even then it would have had to be a non-speaking/non-singing role since that’s pre-recorded 🤷♀️
they both BROUGHT IT. i always find myself rewatching that lipsync 😭 anetra devoured but marcia really did put up a fierce fight. it was such a good watch
All of these lipsyncs deserve to be here for sure! A personal favourite of mine was the phone lipsync between Ginger and Mayhem. I love their dynamic and how well they play off of each other and how perfect and campy it was without needing to do stunts to make it stand out. Ginger definitely won it for me but Mayhem holding her shoe at the end was the most iconic thing ever😂
GREAT LIST. Perfect #1. Agree that drunk Jujubee doing Black Velvet should be on there because it was also ground breaking in that they had to cut back on the amount of vodka that was available. Also because it's so amazing, I forget who she's even lipsyncing against. LOL If people have kind of forgotten Dida Ritz's personal performance for Natalie Cole with Princess doing their best, it's because there's not a full length version on youtube like the others. I remain so salty about this.
Thank you, this is the first comment I found about the Black Velvet lip sync, I love it for the raw emotion Juju displayed (even with the help of alcohol). And what a way to make your mark on the franchise.. She owned that stage, there was nobody else :D I was surpsied by the fact ppl forgot about the Dida Ritz peformance, I always found it magical, tbh.
@@MaudeLechner Whoo!!! I haven't checked for it in the last month, obviously. I almost looked before commenting but I didn't. Thank you for the heads up. I'm going to go watch it a dozen times. 😍
I love dawn sm but yeah morphine ate her up and we all knew she didn’t stand a chance but if we’re being honest dawn shouldn’t have been in the bottom in the first place
I honestly think that Dusty is a great example of a "successful" lip-sync that embraces a queen's particular vibe/persona, in a way that's really fun but still works with the song (even if that song isn't quite a perfect fit for that queen). To me it gives "drunk aunt at the party" in a really entertaining way.
When I started this video I thought "If Chi Chi vs. Thorgy isn't on here I'm going to flip out." and you did not disappoint. I remember just saying "woah" and "oh my god" the first time I watched it, and seeing Thorgy accept defeat before the lip sync was even done solidified it as being iconic.
The brooke vs Yvie lip sync was great, and also from the first season i watched, and i loved everything. And the best part you didn't even include. "I'm living! Come on, Cirque de Soleil!"😂😂😂
chi chi's pearls breaking is the most iconic moment of drag race ever to me. accidental perfection as the cherry on top for an all-time great performance
I kept waiting for the Chi Chi/Thorgy lip sync and was so glad you crowned it at 1. It made me tear up even before their passing but it hits even harder now. Great list!
So much gold in this! The Wii start screen intro, the subtle shade of "the watches... The watches..." 😂 The whole TKB salute, the impact discussion, and not the final "lip sync" of the Xmas special! Runner Eye! 2 personal faves I didn't see in your short list are Monet and Jinkx in the first spoken word lip sync battle on Drag Race and Alexis Mateo vs Shangela to a Fantasia song that proves that a great performer can take a generic song and make it special. Thank you so much for ranking "And I'm Telling You" #1 if for no other reason than to highlight Ms. Chi Chi DeVayne! RIP Her "Call Me" is also one of my favorites
Valentina vs Monet lipsyncing to Ariana Grande with Mo living for Valentina in the background is one of my personal favourites which didn't make it on the list. Also, Peppermint vs Trinity the Tuck in the finale deserves a mention.
Great choice with ChiChi and Thorgy's lipsync as number one! I also love the one you picked with Monet and Dusty. I find it so iconic when she doesn't do the split... I always favors nonsplitters...
Chi chi and Dita are amongst the if not the all time greatest. The one that always gets me too, always, is Kennedy vs Katya. Kenendy jumping off the stage in memory of her dear friend Zahara and Katya landing a flip in the splits right after brings tears to my eyes.
I like the Ginger Minge vs Jaidynn Dior Fierce (featuring Tempest Dujour and Sasha Belle) to I Think We’re Alone Now. It’s so ridiculous and I don’t know why it’s not talked about more.
One of my favorite lipsync performances is Jackie Cox in Firework. She brings such an emotion to the performance, her outfit speaks so much and fits so well to the theme of the song, the context of the episode brings such a perfect message to the lipsync. I cried, the dinosaur doctor cried
From when I first saw S4 and Dida`s lipsync, it remains my favourite for about 8 years now I can`t even see that without it bringing me SO MUCH JOY, Dida is an icon
Seeing Chi Chi crowned with the number one spot makes me so emotional. I'm always very close to tears whenever I watch her, and her talent being acknowledged after all these years is a testament to her legacy.
I'm so glad Ginger vs Mayhem to Phone got at least a visual shoutout. That would easily be in my top 10, it's hilarious. Ginger is honestly such an underrated lip syncher.
I gained so much respect for Thorgy as a person in that moment. Probably the most gracious acceptance of defeat ever. Imagine...in the middle of a lip sync for your life, with emotions running high, she had the wherewithall to acknowledge whats happening and embrace it as a truw artistic moment and achievemt for ChiChi. The beads breaking...she even stops her performance to look at ChiChi to make sure she's ok, continues to give it her all to a great performance despite knowing the outcome and the crowning done perfectly to the music. Love her and will love her forever for it.
One of my favorites (and very underrated) is Manila Luzon vs Trinity the Shedevil by night lip syncing to How Will I Know by Whitney Houston. Manila absolutely kills it playing it like a teenage girl in love.
Showing Angele v Kana and Carmen's finale performance as examples of the best international lipsyncs?? The taste jumped out so hard it set an Olympic record
One of my favorite comments on youtube is on the original Denali/Kamorah video where somebody said "It was so nice of Rupaul to let Denali bring her emotional support dragon" and I felt like you all should see it too.
🙏 all of Trinity's lipsyncs Also Sasha vs Anetra is overrated, there's some recency bias at play here. In comparison Anetra vs Marzia is easily top 3 of all time
I wanna add Camden vs. Daya to the honorable mentions list bc I think it's like a diet version of shut up and drive where the whole episode's storyline is so nicely capped off by that lipsync
Omg yes, Chi Chi vs Thorny is my absolute favorite lip sync in the whole herstory of the show. Chi Chi's performanfe is so powerful and moving, everytime I listen to the song I picture her and if I'm alone I recreate it lol and Thorny was good
I was going to riot if Chi Chi vs. Thorgy didn’t make this list. I go back and watch this all the time. I have never been so moved by a lipsync in my entire life. The ending where she’s lipsyncing “you’re gonna love… me” gives me goosebumps every time. RIP to a legend.
Yessss, TKB has always been my favorite lipsyncer! She’s on a whole other level, completely embodying the song and making you believe she IS the artist behind it! My favorite performance of hers is definitely the one with Milk. There are so many other talented lipsyncers, but no one captures the song for me quite like TKB does. Maybe pregnant Latrice would come close, lol! I also wanted to shoutout JAX, I think she is such an underated lipsyncer because her season had so many great others, but she killed it everytime!
i think a rlly underrated lip sync is milan vs kenya to vogue. it's an ICONIC song, and milan was doing fucking handstands while kenya was voguing down the runway, it's AMAZING
They don't make performers like Chi Chi anymore. She could give you acrobatics and tricks and then turn around and give you the most soulful, emotional performance possible. Rest in peace Chi Chi Devayne
Mayhem Miller lip syncing to Celebrity Hole is one of my favourites. The way she pulls the feathers off her dress right at the end just gives off such a rock n roll energy that matches the song. Plus you know those feathers were probably expensive so it shows how determined she was to win.
I hate to be this person but OMG some reeaally iconic ones missing from this list IMO. The older ones like Raja vs. Carmen, Detox vs. Jinkx, Manilla vs. Delta, Laganja vs. Joslyn... and like you mentioned Jujubee's Black Velvet and Latrice Royale's Natural woman. I-CO-NIC.
I know this is outside of drag race but Trinity K Bonet performance for miss continental 2019 talent blew me away. Pretty sure many of you might have seen but if not give it a watch.
So much respect for your #1 pick. That was the first season I ever watched. I’m a theater gay (so I know the significance of that song) when I tell you I was ~bawling~ when Chi Chi’s pearls broke; I was legit screaming lmao Such a good lip sync! RIP to Chi Chi’s beautiful soul!

The way thorgy crowned chi chi as the winner of the lip sync… girl it’s so powerful 😭
Made me bawl my eyes out
what an amazing soul we lost :(
that ending felt so monumental, love thorgy forever for that
Thorgy was always on the right side of herstory. This right here and voting for Shangela was always a boss move to me. LOVE Thory - she's a good seed on this earth.
Fr. I always took the wave and cartwheel combo as her saying goodbye cuz she knew she lost to Chichi
What I love about the Chi Chi lipsync is how upset she was about breaking the necklace because she really cannot afford a lot, but she went with it and accepted it and incorporated it, she went through a lot but she showed her joy on that stage. rest in peace chi chi
Thinking about Chi Chi to this day gets me emotional. RIP
The dress was borrowed from her drag mom and Chichi was upset she had ruined it. The other queens helped her pick up as many beads as they could find.
man Dida Ritz just DESTROYED that stage during This Will Be, i think about it all the time and I am so glad that Natalie Cole was there to see it.
shout out to Thorgy’s cartwheel man
I always go back to that lipsync, it‘s so powerful to watch and uplifting
That lip sync is imprinted on my brain, I will die with it
Now do the worst lip syncs
YES, THIS NEXT! GUT THEM!
Pearl vs Fame
Pearl vs Trixie
Pearl vs a hair brush
@@MakuraZalis pearl vs RuPaul and production
Atta girl, Pearl.
YES
Every time I feel a bit down I watch the Dida Ritz lipsync, that’s a *performance*
Dida Ritz is a national treasure. Season 4 was 12 years ago and Dida is still quotable, memed, and celebrated to this day. It makes me sad that the show doesn’t seem to agree, in this day and age nobody wants to do All Stars anymore, Dida has glowed up immensely and has been patiently campaigning for years to return but has received absolutely nothing
@@MichelleD2023for real!! i adore her & would love to see her back
I LOVE this one
FOR REAL. I do the same thing :) her joy is so infectious
Trinity K. Bonet never being a lipsync assassin when they did that format is genuinely insane.
Someone 100% already said this but you're like the kurtis connor of drag
they just both have a mullet.
@@missstrawberry3053and they both are silly, and make silly jokes☝️🤓
no youre so right they have a similar cadence of speech and even their voices sound related

The same episode she got eliminated too damn that was a rough day for Silky 😭
Its the universe telling Silky shes going home LMAO
LOL!!!
HELP I NEVER NOTICED THAT 😂😂😭😭
someone said she passed the lip sync assassin energy to her by hitting her with the corset 😭😭😭

Yay the TKB nod! TKB truly has the biggest transformation when she’s lip syncing, she’s such a talent
He’s so right for just putting TKB up. All her lip syncs are good she just eats up that stage
All of these lipsyncs deserve to be here for sure! A personal favourite of mine was the phone lipsync between Ginger and Mayhem.

Yes love it!!! I also love "Finally" with Aja vs Nina Bonina Brown
I LOVE that lip sync, it’s one of my favorites. I love when the queens work together in a performance, it elevates it so much

Morphine v Dawn should be in honorable mentions, Morphine basically stole Body from Meghan thee Stallion with that lip sync lol
For real, that was an instant classic. Morphine walked up to Dawn and tore her spine out on stage, like there was no contest.
I love dawn sm but yeah morphine ate her up and we all knew she didn’t stand a chance but if we’re being honest dawn shouldn’t have been in the bottom in the first place
@@everlybrown530disagree,nymphia was 3rd best and Q deserved to stay because her track record

Latrice's "Natural Woman" always remains a favorite for me. And I really loved Jinkx and Monet's "Designing Women" lip sync.

I love that lip sync so much bc while ginger takes the lead in making it as funny as it is sasha’s such a good support following along perfectly
LaLa Ri vs Joey Jay is on my list. The way she gives us the LaLa Ri Experience and dominates while wearing the bag outfit... so beautiful.
my favourite will always be adore vs TKB doing vibeology. the way they play off eachother is just so so good
You teased the Body-ody-ody lip sync with Dawn and Morphine. I know it's recent, but that performance was epic.
Personal fave is "Finally" with Aja vs Nina Bonina Brown. Ive watched it like 100 times and never get sick of it.
One of my favorite lipsync performances is Jackie Cox in Firework. She brings such an emotion to the performance, her outfit speaks so much and fits so well to the theme of the song, the context of the episode brings such a perfect message to the lipsync. I cried, the dinosaur doctor cried

One of my favorites (and very underrated) is Manila Luzon vs Trinity the Shedevil by night lip syncing to How Will I Know by Whitney Houston. Manila absolutely kills it playing it like a teenage girl in love.
