00:00I've made my decision.
00:07Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:09And today we're counting down our picks for the weakest drag race lip syncs that should have seen both queens
00:14going home.
00:25Number 10. Lana Jure vs. Hormona Lisa.
00:28The song choice didn't do the bottom queens any favors here.
00:41Of all the Olivia Rodrigo tracks they could have chosen, Get Him Back was a real head scratcher.
00:47It had us asking the age-old drag race question,
00:49is it a bad lip sync for your life song or did the queens just fail to perform?
00:54Yes, ma'am!
01:02Neither Hormona's super literal interpretation nor Lana's sensual take seem to fit.
01:07The cutaways to RuPaul seemed to suggest she was about to send both of them home.
01:10Lana won, but it really feels like outside of one impressive stunt,
01:15she might have been sent packing herself.
01:25Number 9. Delta Work vs. Phoenix.
01:28Do you want to see her go off?
01:29Because we think you wanted to see her go off.
01:39Delta Work is a fabulous queen, but we wouldn't say Lady Gaga is the best fit for her lip sync
01:45style.
01:45To say she does better than Phoenix is certainly true,
01:48but it doesn't make up for a pretty lackluster showing on both sides.
01:58It's boring, and probably deserve to make Herstory as the first double sashay.
02:02And when the song is bad romance, that's kind of unforgivable.
02:06At the same time, Delta probably shouldn't have been in the bottom in the first place.
02:17Number 8. Willem vs. Jiggly Caliente.
02:29These season 4 queens are beloved for very different reasons.
02:33Unfortunately, this lip sync does not feature either at their best.
02:36According to Willem, the song was changed at the last minute to coincide with guest judge Pam Tillis' appearance.
02:42That may account for the lackluster performance.
02:45Mi Vida Loca is a perfect storm of bad song choice, bad dancing, and bad timing.
03:00By episode 7, it was Jiggly Caliente's time to go.
03:03There was little she could do to change that,
03:05but both queens are lacking energy and commitment.
03:16Luckily, Willem did stay and went on to have one of the show's iconic exits.
03:21Number 7. Lucy LaDuca vs. Selena Estudis.
03:34We used to think Kate Bush deserved more love from whoever's in charge of securing the rights to lip sync
03:39songs.
03:40After watching how Running Up That Hill was treated on season 15, maybe there was a reason.
03:53Lucy LaDuca and Selena Estudis certainly had different approaches to the song.
03:57Lucy went for a traditional and fairly boring approach.
04:01Selena decided to perform a one-act pantomime play about a crab dramatically shedding its claws.
04:06Was it entertaining?
04:07Yes, but at what cost?
04:09In the end, neither one did the song justice.
04:24Number 6. Pearl vs. Miss Fame.
04:27Something tells us this week's bottom two took Really Don't Care a little too seriously.
04:39Live performance didn't seem to be where either Miss Fame or Pearl came alive.
04:43Fame just looks unsure.
04:45Unsure of her lyrics, her body, her place in the competition.
04:49Ultimately, she was the next to go.
04:51However, Pearl's stiff, jittery style is only marginally better than her opponent.
04:56She brings something distinctive, but it doesn't seem to serve the song in any meaningful way.
05:01Even if the stars and moon collide, I never want you back into my life.
05:08Pearl's lip-syncing was already controversial after she sent burgeoning fan-favorite Trixie Mattel home weeks before.
05:14It's only made worse by the fact that Demi Lovato is literally sitting there.
05:19Oh, oh, oh, I really don't care.
05:22Number 5. Dahlia Sin vs. Nikki Dahl.
05:25Hey, baby, even though I hate you, I wanna ride out on you.
05:32The official Drag Race YouTube account hasn't even posted this one.
05:36That should tell you something.
05:38One thing is for sure.
05:39You can't say Dahlia Sin and Nikki Dahl didn't look gorgeous.
05:43While performing Problem by Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea,
05:46they spend most of their time posing and relying on being pretty, but not living the song.
05:52Small money, then I'll be better off without you.
05:54And no time I'll be forgetting all about you.
05:57Saying that you know, but I really, really doubt you.
05:59Understand my life is easy when I ain't around you.
06:01Despite a couple of moments when it looked like things were about to kick off,
06:05the whole thing stays pretty boring.
06:07Why give us something when you can give us nothing?
06:09If RuPaul sent Nikki Dahl home right behind Dahlia, it would have been understandable.
06:26Number 4. James Mansfield vs. Kimora Black.
06:38This lip sync came off the back of one of the most ill-conceived,
06:42potentially dangerous maxi challenges in Drag Race herstory.
06:45So maybe James and Kimora were still shell-shocked.
06:49Love Shack is one of the funnest party songs ever recorded.
06:52There's no reason it should feel this lifeless.
06:54Love Shack is a little place where we can get together.
07:02Given James' ditzy persona, the B-52s should be squarely in her wheelhouse.
07:07She goes home, but Kimora doesn't fare much better.
07:10The person giving the best lip sync here is Fred Schneider himself,
07:13and he's sitting on the judging panel.
07:15Here's hoping Love Shack gets the lip sync for your life it deserves someday.
07:18Love Shack, baby, Love Shack!
07:22Love Shack, baby, Love Shack!
07:24Number 3. Leila McQueen vs. Naysha Lopez.
07:28I stand here waiting for you to find the door.
07:33Leila McQueen would join the annals of herstory
07:36when she and Dax! were eliminated in the show's second-ever Double Sashay.
07:41Unfortunately, her first lip sync of Season 8
07:43could have also earned that distinction.
07:45She and Naysha Lopez turned in a bizarre and disjointed performance
07:49to Lady Gaga's applause.
07:51Give me this little love.
07:53I'll turn the fight on.
07:54Put your hands and make them touch, baby girl.
07:57Naysha is a little too peppy and pageant-like
08:00to really connect with the darker vibes.
08:02Leila certainly goes for sexy and sultry,
08:04but misses the mark when it comes to the energy.
08:07It's not consistent.
08:08A Double Sashay certainly would have started Season 8 with a bang.
08:15Put your hands and make them touch, touch, touch.
08:18Number 2, Serena Cha-Cha vs. Penny Trashan.
08:21There may be a party in the USA,
08:24but what happened on the main stage was anything but festive.
08:27Deliver.
08:27The taxi man turned on the radio
08:29and the Jay-Z song was on.
08:32And the Jay-Z song was on.
08:34First out queen, Penny Trashan faces the back of the stage,
08:37presumably because she doesn't know her words.
08:40Her dance makes her look more like a boozy mom
08:43who stumbled on stage than a seasoned entertainer.
08:52Serena Cha-Cha wins by default, but should she have?
08:56While she has more fun with the song and seems to know her lyrics,
08:59it reads as sloppy and gimmicky.
09:01We're grateful Rue kept her around for the drama,
09:03but in terms of performance, it's a chop.
09:20Before we continue,
09:21check out this single from SoundMojo's album Current,
09:24EDM Transformed.
09:25Check out the full track and album below.
09:42Number 1, Silky Nutmeg Ganache vs. Newt.
09:45Nina West.
09:55After landing in the bottom for the makeup challenge,
09:58these two season 11 queens got one of Rue Paul's most harsh critiques.
10:02After pouring their hearts out on stage for the host,
10:05she could only manage a simple yet devastating word of discouragement.
10:09That's the most painful thing about it.
10:11Nina West and Silky Nutmeg Ganache are really trying to make this
10:14no-scrubs lip-sync work.
10:15I don't want no scrub.
10:17A scrub is a guy that came in the love from me.
10:20Hanging out the passenger side of his pet-string's ride.
10:24But there's something sweaty and desperate and clumsy about the whole thing
10:27that makes it that much more uncomfortable.
10:29It was actually shocking when Rue Paul only sent Nina home.
10:32Hanging out the passenger side of his pet-string's ride.
10:38What lip-sync do you think should have been a double sashay?
10:41Tell us in the comments.
