Spoilers but this season came out in 2009 so like...bruh
7. Victoria Vs. Akashia (Supermodel) - Uhhh, it was just no. Akashia barely knew the words and Victoria was falling all over the place. For the first lip sync ever its eh.
6. Shannel Vs. Rebecca (Shackles) - I dont really remember anything from this. It was just pretty boring and really thats all to it. Rebecca shouldnt have even been in the top 4 so still salty Shannel left at that time.
5. Bebe Vs. Nina (Cover Girl) - It wasnt bad, it was just manic. Between Nina with her circle arms and then Bebe going under Ninas dress, I was like "ooo shit so no one wins?". I do like them both though but I find season 2s lip sync to this song much more entertaining.
4. Tammie Vs. Akashia (We Break the Dawn) - I like this lip sync probably more than others and find it a bit underrated. Its not really good but I love Tammies protest by not lip syncing (they literally forced a redo lip sync cause she wouldnt move either) and Akashia did turn it out.
3. Rebecca Vs. Jade (Would I Lie to You?) - Jade killed it, I was completely shook Rebecca won after she basically assaulted her on stage. Aside from that though it was an interesting song and Jade killed it. First split on the show and she went all motorbike on them.
2. Shannel Vs Akashia (Greatest Love of All) - Both did a really good job capturing the emotion and of course Shannel with her weird ass headpiece intentionally dropping it and securing her win. Whitney Houston is a great artist for lip syncs because it can be captured very well and this for a first season is one of her bests.
1. Bebe Vs. Ongina (Stronger) - If only a double shantay was put in place for these two. They both took such a different approach to the song and did it very well. It sucked Ongina lost because she would have won the season and been a great first winner (no shade to Bebe) but at least we can rejoice in how great this lip sync was. Messy, fun and sad at the same time.
Side note: Stronger just started playing in my playlist just as I was writing number 1 lmao!
PYN to be tagged for season 2 if you are interested I guess???
