This is an interesting season since it has a good mix of the best and worst seasond in RPDR history, so lets get to it.
13. Venus Vs. Shangela (The Right Stuff) - Oh fuck. Even though someone gets picked up a couple episodes later, this is without a doubt the most violent lip sync to happen on drag race and it was the first one of the season! Venus went ham on Shangela and it was extremely hard to follow what was happening. Also, dont throw your fucking ponytail to the back stage. It was funny watching Mimi cower with Raja though as Venus did that. Could have easily been the first double elimination ever.
12. Mariah Vs. Delta (Looking for a New Love) - This is such a boring lip sync that I cant even tell you what happens except Mariah didnt know the words. There is nothing really else to it.
11. Pheonix Vs. Delta (Bad Romance) - Now I dont hate Delta I think she is very funny and definitely deserving of that emmy. However, gurl she cant lip sync well. She did better than Pheonix but that really wasnt a contest. The only reason I have a faint recollection of this lip sync is because of the song so...yeah
10. Manila Vs. Raja (Champion) - I dont exactly hate this lip sync, its not bad at all but it isnt great either especially for a final lip sync when they should put their all into it. Manila doing a poor robot and Raja only walking around the stage was just eh (Get ready for the hypocrisy when I say Ravens robot was great in All Stars). At least this was a fantastic final 2 though, I love both queens.
9. India Vs. Stacy (Meeting in the Ladies Room) - Its just another boring lip sync. India does weird facial expressions when she lip syncs and slow movements. Stacy i think did something funny? Idk I cant remember it much.
8. Shangela Vs. Carmen (Believe) - Oh boy, Shangela did alright I guess. Her insane fast death drop shook me ans michelle very vocally but other than that, eh. It always looks like Carmen is stuck in resting bitch face especially when she lip syncs so...choices.
7. Alexis Vs. Yara (I Think About You) - The lip syncs from now on I enjoy alot in different ways. In this one, I felt hard for Yara. The 4th design challenge of the season and a 2nd ball just an episode after the last one, they worked extremely hard to make what they had. Watching her collapse and breakdown broke my heart to see that. Aside from that, Alexis did ok and thats why its 7.
6. Carmen Vs. Yara (Mickey: Spanish Version) - Idk why they chose to have a spanish version on a very american song for a very american challenge theme but whatever I guess. Its not a lip sync to ride home about but I do applaud Carmen for getting every word right and competing right there with Yara. What I didnt like about Carmen was that she went off the stage and demanded attention. Yara did ok I guess, it wasnt worth a double shantay but oh well, its still pretty interesting to watch.
5. Alexis Vs. Stacy (Knock On Wood) - This was the transitioning period into shitty lip syncs to great ones for the rest of the season. Alexis looked like she was having a blast going around the stage and I really liked her performance. Stacy on the other hand, eh. You dont have to be a dancer to have energy, especially on a high energy song but it was funny watching her throw away her hair peices and then a second later they would reappear on her head. Overall though its a very fun lip sync especially from Alexis.
4. Alexis Vs. Shangela (Even Angels) - This is a beautiful song like Manila said and Alexis changed her energy and really captured that emotion. This is another lip sync I find a bit underrated maybe because of how slow or kind of tame it is now but emotion carries a lifetime and Alexis did it. Shangela tried and I applaud her for that but it was definitely her time to go and then she took off her wig? Idk that was weird editing at the end. Alexis though...damn!
3. Mimi Vs. India (Dont Leave Me This Way) - Now before I get judged, this is a bad lip sync and messy as hell. However, that is why I like it. Its iconic, controversial and exactly what was needed for future drag race lip syncs. Plus, both of them lip sync'd exactly to their personalities. Mimi was the attention stealer and India was frantic but in a weird boring way but it was still entertaining? Idk, once India got picked up WWE style and uttered "GET HER OFF OF ME!!!!" It was chaotic between indias wig on the lights in the back and then she summersaulted twice and then flailed her boobs around, I was shook! Cant be forgotten and wont ever be.
-----These next 2 lip syncs I will say are both in my top 5 of all time ngl-----
2. Delta Vs. Manila (Macarthur Park) - Oh my god Miss Manila Luzon crazy eyeing her way to the top 2 having the most interesting of songs play with it. From the slow start that was graceful af then to the insane laughter part and just gets weirder and weirder. I also found it extremely funny how they edited the song to where Manila did the 2nd laughter scream part but they changed the part of the song to something else, that was hilarious. But as Alexis said, Manila was broadway. Oh and Delta was there with her bracelet cake thing.
1. Carmen Vs. Raja (Straight Up) - Ohhhhhhh fuck this is the sexiest lip sync ever and nothing will change that. Where Mimi solidified that drag is not a contact sport, Raja made sure that consensual contact was a ok! What I really like about the whole ordeal was that while they were one-upping each other, they still had fun with what they were doing and in a way worked together to bring amazingness. I could talk about this lip sync for hours cause there is always something new to learn from it. Crazy, hot, and brought everything I thought I didnt need but really did.
