I definitely tanked most of the Gaga and Britney songs,


tho I couldnt bring myself to do it for Stronger.

Stronger is obvs one of the best. But will our low scores for Nauseating be enough?

[That Bad Eartha]

Only 4 songs in the top 20 came out after 2000.

50. Martha Wash & RuPaul - It’s Raining Men...The Sequel

The "rivals" lip sync of season 4 that ultimately ended with Willam's elimination. Who knows if this lip sync would have even happened if Willam wasn't DQed, but Sharon really kind of slayed Phi Phi. From Phi Phi's wig falling off to her awkward death drop, it really showed how much growth she needed.

I love that this song exists just because the conversation has to have been like "we have the campiest and gayest song of all time here, but I think we can make it gayer". And they did. Ru is no substitute for Izora vocally, but he camps it up and the punch up the danceability of it to deal with that problem.

That songs a mess

I mean, it's cute. Pointless, but cute.

[Subomie]

Mess, did Devon like anything?

For the next two songs, it is 2013 all over again.

A "meh" lip sync between Delta Work and Phoenix. I love Delta, but honestly she got really lucky with her pre-Manila lip sync partners. Phoenix does her Gaga moves while looking like she forgot to pull up her underwear when she left the bathroom.

I like this song a lot still and it definitely holds up better than a lot of Gaga's work. But I don't listen to it very often because I definitely overplayed it and in the context of this rate it is definitely one of the weaker songs.

Am just glad we aren't letting the pop girls dominate.

Oh the moment when Kennedy destroyed the dreams of all the tumblr stans who convinced themselves Katya would win. Not to mention truly destroying that stage. The moment where she stood completely still making that claw and just staring daggers at the judges causing Michelle to clap and giggle with anticipation was the moment she won for me. The jump split off the stage just sealed the deal.

The song is fine. Nothing horrid, nothing amazing. Just like most of Katy's discography. Kennedy's performance made me like the song more though.

the best queens really can make a spectacle from... stuff like this

Oh Tracy Martell. Why'd you even bother coming back? That question applies to all eliminated queens who made a return in the same season. A fun lip sync mainly because Ginger was just hilarious with her entire body movements and barreling through Trixie's legs.

The song is 90s house at it's very best. Soulful yet also precise.

[conatus]

Devon, what's good?

[conatus]

Did Devon give everything except his 11 or whatever a low score? Because...

Anyway, Show Me Love is a certified classic and a stellar bop.
