@@zabeebusblaster3243 I know people confuse the song for being sung by Bella Thorne and Zendaya and more specifically Joslyn has a confessional in that lip sync which I thought the comment was referencing.
Her performance really was straight up ICONIC! There’s that one section of total insanity that is truly, IMO at least, some of the best shit we’ve EVER seen in a lip sync on Drag Race.
I thought the sped up version was great honestly! The challenge was Wednesday themed so it made sense, and also I don't think the normal version would have matched Mhi'ya's energy
For me the weirdest lipsync song is on Narnia Vs The World when Kornbread and Victoria both broke their knees again and they made them lipsync to Legs by Vanessa Williams with crutches on.
You must be forgetting about drag race antarctica: jujubee vs the world- all winners where merle ginsberg and the hilarious ross matthews lipsynced to a 1 hour wii music compilation
yall are sleeping on drag race bosnia where nicole paige brooks from atlanta georgia was lipsyncing to a spoken word of the s9 reunion and the host vivacious was so moved by her performance she decided to make nicole the new ornacia
Guys, you can't just forget Drag Race Kanto Vs The World where they had Jigglypuff sing and both lipsyncers fell asleep so they eliminated them both and brought in Jiggly Caliente
@DittoJoe ye hua xiang would be such an iconic lip sync, but I feel like half of the Fandom would hate it and the other half would love it with no in between
boom clap was so weird... like all I think of when I hear it is The Fault In Our Stars and that is something I could definitely live without remembering 😭
@@bargainbrandmusician When I saw the rereleased Stop Making Sense I realized that modern pop music really is divided into two eras: music that came before "Burning Down the House" and music that came after it.
My hot take: "Jump in the Line" should have been for the winners of a comedy challenge. It would be such a party if, say, Nina West and Angeria were taking it on. The winners of the fashion challenge should have had a diva song, which would work better. My weird request: I like when they play with androgynous songs, and last week I saw They Might Be Giants in concert, so I've been lip-syncing to their cover of "Bills, Bills, Bills." I'd want to see that with Utica Queen, Sapphira Cristal, Amanda Tori Meating, and/or Dawn. Or maybe Symone.
‘We’ve seen Malaysia give good lip syncs, and Spice has lip synced many times’ and ‘Mi’ha did the best that she could, and Plasma did what she did up there’ are both so subtly shady lmaoo.
as a beetlejuice STAN im so shocked people didn’t like the idea of using jump in the line! it’s so upbeat and fun and interesting and you can camp it up soooo much, such a good choice in theory
I thought it was great! Also I'm wondering if Gottmik chose black and white stripes intentionally, hoping that she'd win knowing what the lip sync song was.
Literally!! People saying it’s a bad lip sync then blaming the song? It’s exactly that. A bad lip sync: P & G didn’t do a very good job. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad song choice 🤪
ive never watched beetlejuice and im ure its lovely, the song isnt bad what was bad for me was that the girls werent rly doing much/going with the flow per se? like, plastique was serving puss but her face was FROZEN, and this isnt rly a song to serve model diva to, meanwhile gotttmik had that big ass wig that looked like it was gonna tear her whole head off it if fell of, so she wasnt moving as much other than her facial expressions, the lip sync felt so all over the place but i wouldve given it to mik too
Two of my favourite weird lip sync choices were both from All Stars 7: Ella Fitzgerald's Old MacDonald, and the monologue from Designing Women. Monet slayed both of them.
I feel sometimes when audiences don't like a lipsync for your life, we often blame the queens themselves and don't consider that maybe the song itself is not a good song for a lipsync for your life. As messy as Silky vs Nina was, I also don't think TLC No Scrubs was the best choice for a lipsync, especially the version without Left Eye's rap verse. Another one would be Salina vs Spice lipsyncing to that Lil Nas X song
I think the opposite is also true! often when a lip sync is subpar I see people say that the song was an inherently bad for a lip sync, when it just wasn't suited to the performers' strengths. sometimes it's not the song's fault so much as lack of imagination on the part of the fans. but sometimes a song is just genuinely not a great choice for a lip sync despite being a good song, like No Scrubs. I can only really envision someone like Monét or TKB or Sasha Colby killing that one. if I can only picture some of the best performers from the entire franchise doing well with a song, it's probably not a good pick lol
This is my 10 top wishlist songs to lipsync: 1. Mariah Carey- fantasy 2. Christina Aguilera- Candyman 3. Nelly Furtado- say it right 4. Amerie- 1 thing 5. Keyshia Cole- let it go 6. Mya- free 7. Gwen Stefani- WYWF? 8. Christina Milian- dip it low 9. Kat de Luna- Whine up 10. Ciara- 1, 2 step
I used to watch the Green Light lip sync on repeat! Kennedy gives me chills in that performance, especially at the end the problem with the Green Light lip sync is that Drag Race used a cut of the song that removed all the upbeat and exuberant parts. idk if queens perform to the full version of a song, but if so, maybe Kennedy decided to do a park and bark and then the editors cut out the more uptempo segments. production definitely wanted Kennedy to win the lip sync, since she destroyed the Bitchelor and Milk was up for elim; that whole episode was her Moment on AS3. not saying that Kennedy didn't fairly win the lip sync, just that editor may have used a cut of Green Light that complemented the approach that Kennedy chose, at the expense of the song itself
Yma Sumac is a legend, and her songs are very camp. What's honestly more surprising is that they haven't done Gopher Mambo yet given it's arguably her most iconic song.
The tea is that they had rights to both versions and assumed Carmen was fluent enough (given her name) that they could give the Spanish version to the bottom queens to be quirky
Okay so after the Goth episode I put the original Bloody Mary on my playlist and listened… We need a redo because holy shit you could do so much with it.
IIRC, the reason why Malambo No. 1 was on the lip sync playlist for Season 5 was that it was intended to be the lip sync for the Telenovela challenge episode but it was changed because it would be an odd song to conclude the Alyssa vs Coco storyline with
We’ve not had a Stephen Sondheim lip sync in any iteration of the franchise and that makes me furious. Getting Married Today Sunday in the Park with George Steps of the Palace Lucy and Jessie Now You Know By The Sea I’m Still Here Ladies Who Lunch Another Hundred People
Ooh Getting Married Today for a real allstars level challenge like an all winners, or someone’s gotta pull a Coco Cold Hearted Snake pointing as you mouth the words cause that song is everything to me
I think Jump in the Line could've been a great lipsync, but they shouldn't have chosen it for that episode. For the ball, it was expected that Gottmik and another fashion queen would be in the top2, so why not go with a modern song and leave Jump in the Line for a comedy challenge week, where is most likely to have a campy queen on the top2?
People definitely need to embrace more of the 80's new wave stuff like you mentioned, so many Duran Duran songs would be amazing to see as lip sync songs, and then throw in stuff like "Life During Wartime" by Talking Heads, "Modern Love" or "Let's Dance" by David Bowie, "Drive" by the Cars would be a great ballad, more Queen songs, more George Michael & Wham songs, more Heart songs and definitely some Fleetwood Mac songs (justice for Thorgy as Stevie Nicks). I feel like the early seasons burned viewers out on so many classic 70s dance songs and the really bad late 80s pop that Ru and Michelle love so much that in the newer seasons, a ton of amazing early 80s stuff has been glossed over in favor of Tik Tok trends.
I’ve always wanted some more 80s/90s pop or rock stuff!! One song I think could work really well is Girls and Boys by Blur, I think if given the right character it would be really effective. I hope drag race eventually does branch out into other genres and eras because the older stuff often tends to make for the best lip syncs!
@@khil1210 her music is just not everyone's cup of tea. Personally to me, her music sounds like it's made the older millennial gay whose every suburban wine-moms gay best friend
@@euanpetersen7751her or Brooke should have done Dirrty, to give some sense of competition to Kylie; in fact i think that Coco should have done Miss you much (you know, Janet) and Manila would have done good with a campy song like Uptown funk
We need a season full of just off the wall un-lipsynchable random songs let’s really put these queens on their toes. Let’s get Maroon 5. Let’s get Crazy Frog. Let’s get a Jiafei remix.
Not you omitting that even Detox has said that they changed the song to Malambo No. 1 just so Jinkx would have a higher chance at beating her, because they heard Jinkx singing it around the filming of this episode. We get it, we like Jinkx, but I cant overlook the fact that she got big help from the show itself both of her seasons and both times it was to impulse her into the win of the crown, is wild. Here, she was definitely NOT beating Detox to the song that was originally going to be used...and lets not even go into the voiceover of the ending of AS7 after they hyped the shit out of the lipsync tournament being such an important thing the whole season hahahaha. Still, she is a legend, yes.
I will defend the Bloody Mary choice until I die. The original is a much slower tempo, would have been so odd for a lipsync. The remix allowed Mhiya and Plasma to go IN. Best lipsync of the season.
I would love some more new wave stuff on drag race like New Order, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Kate Bush (to redeem the lack luster Running up that Hill lip sync) or as you mentioned Duran Duran. I would also like to hear more artists Queen, David Bowie, Elton John, and Prince. Also to my memory they’ve never done Stevie Nicks or Fleetwood Mac.
Dance in the Dark on Down Under season 2. One of my favorite Gaga songs ever but it was so random to be used on an international series for some reason. But they did use Toxic on Thailand so I shouldn't be complaining
the thing that bothers me the most about the sped up bloody mary lip sync was that it was not only on the goth design challenge episode but also DUE TO the goth design challenge. not, of course, because it’s a goth song, but because of the wednesday netflix show😭😭😭😭😭. goth in its entirety was created by and continues to live throughout MUSIC. goth music is THE POINT of goth as a subculture. at the VERY LEAST they could’ve picked any depeche mode song, and if they were feeling a little riskier, they could’ve done the cure, maybe even siouxsie and the banshees. but sped up lady gaga is NOT goth and as a goth i was disappointed to say the least 😭😭😭
On your point near the end of the video, i cannot fucking believe they brought in Tove Lo for the Dolly episode and lip-sync. Are you kidding me? Have we even had a Tove Lo song?
they really fumbled the bag having nymphia wind, THE banana queen, on a season and not choosing i'm going bananas by madonna as a lipsync song but i hope that crazy ass song will someday be performed on drag race's stage
As a country music fan, yeah that song was terrible. There were so many better Pam Tillis choices. The spoken word lip sync from All Stars 7 is something I’d love to see again. It was fun.
I used to listen to the podcast Run had with Michelle and he mentioned visiting Australia and that there was nothing on TV at the hotel aside from Shake it up, he binged the whole thing and just had to put the song on the show 🤭
I was just rewatching a riggory of video but a new drag detectivevideo works too!!! Some weird songs that jump to mind are definitely the vengabus on UKVSTW1 and the Bloody Mary tiktok remix on season 16. Another which I don't know if it was weird but definitely unexpected was No Way on UK4, as a MASSIVE Six the musical fan I was so glad that it was on the show
I think the most iffy one for me is the double sashay to “Shout” by Blondie in UK3. Like, it was so clear that they were just trying to get two queens that they didn’t see going further, which both Choriza and River didn’t deserve. Choriza didn’t even deserve a bottom placement, and River honestly did kind of good, at least as much as you can do with that mess of a song. It’s weird that apparently neither of them showed enough to stay, according to Ru, as even before judging, everyone was living!!!
@@sunnydays07 yes totally agree. Lulu, I love you, but Shout just isn't a great lipsync song. And the fact that Choriza didn't deserve to be in the bottom and River won the lipsync, like the producers just said we don't want you here anymore and just eliminated both of them 😭
25:29 Speaking of Born This Way, I think Scheiße could be a great weirdish lipsync song. The beat and vibe is perfect but it being not in English could present an interesting challenge for the ppl lip syncing
What you call speed up chimpunk remix is called Nightcore and yeah it was mostly used on Eurodance (especially Cascada) or anime (Touhou’s Bad Apple) songs. Source : listened to a lot of Nightcore in 2007.
I don't do drag and don't do any lip syncing beyond what happens in my kitchen, but I also don't listen to a lot of pop music, so there are legitimately times I hear not only popular songs for the first time on Drag Race, but also famous artists for the first time!
Possibly hot take: For the Wednesday episode I think it would’ve been more fun to see Goo Goo Muck by The Cramps. It still wouldve been a wild choice but I think they queens could’ve camped it up so much
We obviously got the sped up Bloody Mary because that version of the song went very Viral for Wednesday Adams on Tiktok and itunes within the same year it was filmed and the episode was Goth themed
One song that I think you missed was the Spanish version of “Hey Mickey” from season 3 where I believe only 3 people on season 3 could be able to lipsync to it, Yara Sofia, Carmen Carrera and Alexis Mateo.
I think the problem with doing these kinds of songs are that you need the right performer for it. I have seen a queen do a Slipknot song (I think, I don't know metal but the person I was with said it was) and she killed it. I would hate to see it on Drag Race though. That being said, I would love to see a George Michael song, specifically "Freedom '90," and "Wuthering Heights" by Kate Bush. Both could be great in the right hands.
Old MacDonald not being on here is surprising, there are some other weird choices in Canada 4 lip sync smack downs. There could definitely be a part two to this list in my opinion !
I think it would be smart for creators like him to have a second channel that's not drag related to do stuff like this. It's a great way to expand his audience and it's a backup if/when drag race ends.
I am shocked Drag Race has not done anything from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, just dont pick Time Warp. Sweet Transvestite or Toucha Touch me would be top picks and for Sweet Transvestite I would pick Latrice vs Anetra or Jax as they would give unique takes on it. Toucha Touch me would be Carmen Carerra vs Sugar and Spice. Cause again i think both would camp it up in weird ways
17:47 not entiiiiiiirely true, we got “Hot In It” on UK5 w/ Naomi & Alexis Also… we need a Björk lip-sync by now!! It’s Oh So Quiet, Big Time Sensuality, or Quicksand would be fieeeerceee.
My love!!! You are the 80's hits king!! You and I could talk about music for hours! Amie Mann voices carry.....George Michael, Stevie Winwood, Phil Collins. So good

Did we all forget Old McDonald as the lip sync song for the PREMIERE of all winners💀
It was amazing

Omg bestie you and me both!!!
I’m sorry but Old Macdonald on AS7? That was definitely surprising
YES. Like, it was the first on my mind when I read the title
100% first thought.
Classic drag for champions, but hey...the episode with the monologue lipsync WAS THE RIGHT MOMENT IN THE MOMENTO...
Yeah, that was in my mind first as well… I looove that lipsync!
Can't believe old macdonald didn't end up on this list, wild choice but damn it's so good
monet and jinx doing their spoken word lip sync was incredible
Tik Tok Bloody Mary was a horrible choice but the performance Mhi’ya gave was ICONIC
Someone on Twitter (I can’t recall who) said that WOW did it themselves. 🤣
Her performance really was straight up ICONIC!
There’s that one section of total insanity that is truly, IMO at least, some of the best shit we’ve EVER seen in a lip sync on Drag Race.
I didn't mind the song but I'm also not a big Gaga fan. I thought the sped up version sounded better (minus the vocals) than the original
I thought the sped up version was great honestly! The challenge was Wednesday themed so it made sense, and also I don't think the normal version would have matched Mhi'ya's energy
People also really don't appreciate nightcore damn, like a song is allowed to be dark and upbeat at the same time
"girl, I'm watching Total Drama Island", I love how that show spawned an entire new generation of reality show fans, myself included.
That show is the goat, shame on Netflix for leaving the first 3 seasons only 🫠
Think I missed this one lol, which episode?
@iitsnoee It really is. Almost 20 years later and I'm still salty about Lindsay's elimination on S1, but her revenge was worth it 😈
Honestly old mcdonalds on all winners was such a fever dream
Nevertheless, Shea and Monet so should've lip synced to Better in Color, and have Jinkx and Raja lip sync to Old McDonald

I think 'Vagina' and 'Deepthroat' by cupcakKe were great albeit weird lipsync songs when Yuhua Hamasaki won her 3rd-tied up season

I guess they picked it cos it's Charli's biggest song that's not a collab. It's like probably her worst single though.
Idc who you are, there is not much u can do with that song. Awful choice.
charli has great dance songs and they chose that…. yikes
i like the song😛

Honestly, I'm so here for Icona Pop making drag race do "Emergency" on both Sweden and US, they clearly like the song
I loved it...
Its a pageant walk dance on the Street...
It just does not work well for a lip sync
s3 “hey mickey”(spanish version) with yara and carmen with a usa themed episode was pretty left field imo😭!
Jump in the line and emergency are great lip sync songs. Fight me

Wow, that list tells me you have GREAT taste🎉
Whine Up would be so cvnty
I’m surprised you missed Uptown Funk. That was one of the big “wait they’re actually doing this?” Songs I remember seeing.
My mind genuinely blocked that one from my memory
the fact that Coco managed to serve with Uptown Funk proves that she may be the best lip sync artist to grace Drag Race

Not you omitting that even Detox has said that they changed the song to Malambo No. 1 just so Jinkx would have a higher chance at beating her, because they heard Jinkx singing it around the filming of this episode. We get it, we like Jinkx, but I cant overlook the fact that she got big help from the show itself both of her seasons and both times it was to impulse her into the win of the crown, is wild. Here, she was definitely NOT beating Detox to the song that was originally going to be used...and lets not even go into the voiceover of the ending of AS7 after they hyped the shit out of the lipsync tournament being such an important thing the whole season hahahaha. Still, she is a legend, yes.
I feel like meghans music doesnt work cause it sounds like its trying too hard to appeal to the gays like that song mother its so weird 🤧
It’s giving she has one gay friend who gave her the slur pass reluctantly and thinks she can call everyone gay slurs in that werk diva way it’s a mess
"we’ve seen Malaysia give good lip syncs! we’ve seen Spice lip sync many times on drag race.” i YELPED 💀
Justice for uninvited that performance was chilling
I’m addicted to this Channel! I often sit back like who picks these Songs? They can’t get any Good ones cleared…🥴
I will defend the Bloody Mary choice until I die. The original is a much slower tempo, would have been so odd for a lipsync. The remix allowed Mhiya and Plasma to go IN. Best lipsync of the season.
I would love some more new wave stuff on drag race like New Order, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Kate Bush (to redeem the lack luster Running up that Hill lip sync) or as you mentioned Duran Duran. I would also like to hear more artists Queen, David Bowie, Elton John, and Prince. Also to my memory they’ve never done Stevie Nicks or Fleetwood Mac.
Dance in the Dark on Down Under season 2. One of my favorite Gaga songs ever but it was so random to be used on an international series for some reason. But they did use Toxic on Thailand so I shouldn't be complaining
the thing that bothers me the most about the sped up bloody mary lip sync was that it was not only on the goth design challenge episode but also DUE TO the goth design challenge. not, of course, because it’s a goth song, but because of the wednesday netflix show😭😭😭😭😭. goth in its entirety was created by and continues to live throughout MUSIC. goth music is THE POINT of goth as a subculture. at the VERY LEAST they could’ve picked any depeche mode song, and if they were feeling a little riskier, they could’ve done the cure, maybe even siouxsie and the banshees. but sped up lady gaga is NOT goth and as a goth i was disappointed to say the least 😭😭😭
they could’ve even done she wants revenge cuz they were trending last year too
i know you didn’t watch it but on down under 3 the first lip sync song was “a land down under” which i think is an INSANE choice
honestly it's kind of a wonder they waited til season 3 for that song
WE NEED A FEMININOMINON BY CHAPPEL ROAN LIPSYNC
REAL but I think Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl would be a much better song to lipsynch to !
@@andrea3774 We need both tbh
And also Red Wine Supernova 🍷
@@andrea3774YESSSSS
I can already see Drag Race booking Chappell as a guest judge on a future season. Season 17, maybe?
On your point near the end of the video, i cannot fucking believe they brought in Tove Lo for the Dolly episode and lip-sync. Are you kidding me? Have we even had a Tove Lo song?
Ain’t even seen anything and I can tell you some of them
Not the Oh Edie screenshot for the Canada 4 picture 😭
Omg I seen her and I was like huh?
I adore seeing creators supporting creators so the Wendigoon T-shirt is awesome to see!
Not you constantly on Ava Max’s throat lmao😂 I love it
they really fumbled the bag having nymphia wind, THE banana queen, on a season and not choosing i'm going bananas by madonna as a lipsync song but i hope that crazy ass song will someday be performed on drag race's stage
Or Hollaback Girl??? B-A-N-A-N-A-S 🍌
my kingdom to see Nymphia performing Hollaback Girl. that shit would be bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S
wild that the s15 lalaparuza was mentioned and the HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA SONG WASNT MENTIONED
😭did I miss something what are you talking about
@@ami5marion the sasha/anetra song was like a fifth harmony song for a kids movie lmao
As a country music fan, yeah that song was terrible. There were so many better Pam Tillis choices. The spoken word lip sync from All Stars 7 is something I’d love to see again. It was fun.
"Cleopatra, Queen of Denial" should have been the one!
I used to listen to the podcast Run had with Michelle and he mentioned visiting Australia and that there was nothing on TV at the hotel aside from Shake it up, he binged the whole thing and just had to put the song on the show 🤭
I was just rewatching a riggory of video but a new drag detectivevideo works too!!! Some weird songs that jump to mind are definitely the vengabus on UKVSTW1 and the Bloody Mary tiktok remix on season 16. Another which I don't know if it was weird but definitely unexpected was No Way on UK4, as a MASSIVE Six the musical fan I was so glad that it was on the show
I think the most iffy one for me is the double sashay to “Shout” by Blondie in UK3. Like, it was so clear that they were just trying to get two queens that they didn’t see going further, which both Choriza and River didn’t deserve. Choriza didn’t even deserve a bottom placement, and River honestly did kind of good, at least as much as you can do with that mess of a song. It’s weird that apparently neither of them showed enough to stay, according to Ru, as even before judging, everyone was living!!!
@@sunnydays07 yes totally agree. Lulu, I love you, but Shout just isn't a great lipsync song. And the fact that Choriza didn't deserve to be in the bottom and River won the lipsync, like the producers just said we don't want you here anymore and just eliminated both of them 😭
@@sunnydays07 Shout was by Lulu (the guest judge on that episode).
25:29 Speaking of Born This Way, I think Scheiße could be a great weirdish lipsync song. The beat and vibe is perfect but it being not in English could present an interesting challenge for the ppl lip syncing
What you call speed up chimpunk remix is called Nightcore and yeah it was mostly used on Eurodance (especially Cascada) or anime (Touhou’s Bad Apple) songs.
Source : listened to a lot of Nightcore in 2007.
I don't do drag and don't do any lip syncing beyond what happens in my kitchen, but I also don't listen to a lot of pop music, so there are legitimately times I hear not only popular songs for the first time on Drag Race, but also famous artists for the first time!
Possibly hot take: For the Wednesday episode I think it would’ve been more fun to see Goo Goo Muck by The Cramps. It still wouldve been a wild choice but I think they queens could’ve camped it up so much
We obviously got the sped up Bloody Mary because that version of the song went very Viral for Wednesday Adams on Tiktok and itunes within the same year it was filmed and the episode was Goth themed
Watching your channel grow has been delightful! And cool Wendigoon shirt, homie! ❤
One song that I think you missed was the Spanish version of “Hey Mickey” from season 3 where I believe only 3 people on season 3 could be able to lipsync to it, Yara Sofia, Carmen Carrera and Alexis Mateo.
I thought the Spanish song from S3 was a weird choice as well. And very conveniently used when 2 Spanish speaking queens were in the bottom
That was the episode where I learnt that reality tv is rigged 😂
I think the problem with doing these kinds of songs are that you need the right performer for it. I have seen a queen do a Slipknot song (I think, I don't know metal but the person I was with said it was) and she killed it. I would hate to see it on Drag Race though. That being said, I would love to see a George Michael song, specifically "Freedom '90," and "Wuthering Heights" by Kate Bush. Both could be great in the right hands.
Brand New Key the "oooooh I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates" song
Old MacDonald not being on here is surprising, there are some other weird choices in Canada 4 lip sync smack downs. There could definitely be a part two to this list in my opinion !
Emergency is a really fun song for a lip sync and half the girls on S16 could have served it.
idk how weird of a choice this is but I’ve been waiting for the day « Before He Cheats » comes on
OMG! I Love Degrassi!! U should do a video series on it.
Like:
Retrospective, Recap, Review, Season Ranking, Character Ranking, Episode Rankings etc.
I think it would be smart for creators like him to have a second channel that's not drag related to do stuff like this. It's a great way to expand his audience and it's a backup if/when drag race ends.
6:48 Drag Race TDI simulator when?
Cheryl Hole vs Chad Michaels lip syncing solo in front of Cher Lloyd lip syncing to "Swagger Jagger" by Cher Lloyd in venezuela vs The world
17:45 the closest we got to another charli xcx lip sync was on the uk with “hot in it”
I always thought the season 3 hey Mickey Spanish version was outta left field.
I am shocked Drag Race has not done anything from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, just dont pick Time Warp. Sweet Transvestite or Toucha Touch me would be top picks and for Sweet Transvestite I would pick Latrice vs Anetra or Jax as they would give unique takes on it. Toucha Touch me would be Carmen Carerra vs Sugar and Spice. Cause again i think both would camp it up in weird ways
17:47 not entiiiiiiirely true, we got “Hot In It” on UK5 w/ Naomi & Alexis
Also… we need a Björk lip-sync by now!! It’s Oh So Quiet, Big Time Sensuality, or Quicksand would be fieeeerceee.
"one last time... which shouldn't have even been a single" ....thats......huh...inchresting
The desperate housewives lip sync? That iconic scene is from Designing Women
we like to party ukvtw 1 and like every single pick on as7 (old mcdonald, spoken word, swish swish - first two worked... third...)
oop hadn't finished the vid sorry
How are these people mad about the song that ended Beetlejuice being used? Gotmik had hair straight out of a Tim Burton movie.
the genuine upset about the one last time lipsync is so felt
PLEASE a DURAN DURAN lip sync, with A Matter of Feeling. Kids, listen to this song.
18:25 the song you’re thinking of is About You Now by the Sugababes! Such an iconic UK bop
That was for Jonbers and Starlet's lipsync. The song Derek's talking about is Some Kinda Rush by Booty Luv
Ava Max catching strays... we love to see it!
Oh this is the video for ME! I hope the Old McDonald lip sync is on here (it’s on my top 10 personal favorites.)
The original Bloody Mary is probably my favorite Gaga song like ever, so I'd DIE if they did it in a lipsync. But that TikTok version... No...
My love!!! You are the 80's hits king!! You and I could talk about music for hours! Amie Mann voices carry.....George Michael, Stevie Winwood, Phil Collins. So good
Were still waiting for more ARTPOP songs
MANiCURE
Venus
Sexxx Dreams
Dope
THOSE WOULD ALL BE SO GOOD IMO
I would like to see Sexxx Dreams with Anetra and Luxx Noir London.
U did the weirdest song that could slay on drag duel, I’m blue.
