let's make some arbitrary decisions first up in competing for the title of She Done Already Had
Herses we've got the Vivienne and Yvie oddly on the runway we had the Vivienne giving us a fairly
simple but elegant and glamorous look the gown is all black and made of feathers on the skirt
of the dress and sleeves but are they ostrich or chicken? let's ask joey j... i love the elegance
and simplicity of this look and how she paired it with a really colorful eye and soft gorgeous
simple pink lip and this look from viv i'll say maybe isn't the most exciting or memorable from
what she did across the season but i think it's a really great reminder that yeah she can serve
really severe up in here crazy stuff like she did in the leather principle look and also pair it
down and give soft beauty and glamour like this in side note shout out to viv for wearing every
shade of blue known to mankind on the runway this season this look is hot Yvie oddly though took the
opposite approach from viv tonight and went cake balls to the wall this look is insanely gorgeous
and weird strange campy fun exciting i love the sprinkles on her lips the details in her makeup
are really fun and this tiered cake is not only covered in beautifully saturated colors but is
also being supported by wheels because it's so big i'll have a big cake and get a slice
this was an all-stars level of weird from Yvie oddly and i loved every bite let the
meat cake this look is hot now concerning their lip sync to push it by salt N' peppa -
so viv came into this smackdown with two lip sync wins across this season and one of them
was against Yvie oddly so this was a little bit of like a rivalry situation going on i
suppose and given the track records you might have expected viv to come out on top but miss Yvie girl
she spilled the salt and the pepper all over the dinner table and made us eat it i actually think
Yvie and this lip sync in particular gave one of the best performances of the night she was doing
handstand bicycles splits the robot and hit every lyric real talk though personally i'm not a huge
fan of the lip sync style that viv was doing here i felt like they've just kept relying on the same
shtick of not being able to dance but we know she can dance and it's funny once or twice but
to see her do it over and over again in the slip saying well Yvie is busting out dance move after
dance move and hitting that choreo so hard it was just like ah okay i'm gonna give it to Yvie
oddly it's a hot and miss Vivienne and in round two of this bracket we've got Jaida essence hall
versus Raja and Jaida was another queen who had excellent runways this season every single week i
was excited to see what she was going to bring or literally make there oh my god she is an excellent
designer can't believe Jaida invented designing women and her finale runway is i think a really
beautiful capstone on her runway presentation throughout this season she's dripping in diamonds
i'm sure they're all real and she looks gorgeous it's very twenties very hollywood very i'm ready
for my close-up mr deville this was obviously hot and Raja oh my god the og queen of style
did not disappoint on the finale runway where everyone else pretty much said i'm gonna give
you elegance class and glamour Raja said yeah i'm gonna give you that but i'm also gonna be a
crystallized alien glamour bug just for fun why not the textures and shapes and silhouette that
she has created in this look are so otherworldly and gorgeous true eye candy tonight and also gotta
point out she blocked her brows and went all the way with her makeup as Raja said they didn't even
invent a word for how great she looks but we'll definitely give her a and these two lip sync
let's hear it for the boy by denise williams and this lip sync was i think one of the most evenly
matched tonight i truly was watching both of them thinking wow either one could take this Jaida was
doing the running man and worth mentioning put a pen in this one robot was literally screaming
in laughter at everything Raja did including when she was fake cradling that little baby in her arms
both of them get hots for me but Raja does take the win here and you'll notice
so far i really did agree with how the judges selected winners for these lip syncs but in this
final one for this bracket is where i think things start to get a little crazy we've got
Yvie and Raja lipsticking to sisters r doing it for themselves by aretha franklin and honestly
this was another lip sync where i thought both queen city good job however Yvie oddly did a
great job she had really energetic and on the beat choreo i loved how everything that Yvie was doing
while she was performing felt so intentional even the intentional mistake to a wig reveal that she
gave us which was an amazing way to reinvent a lip sync cliche and bring a new freshness to it and i
was living i was gooped i was gagged this was so fun but the way Rupaul reacted really shocked me
first confusion of course like oh my god she's losing her wig and all-stars lip sync i can't
believe it but you would expect that once it was revealed that was part of the plan the whole time
that Rupaul would be screaming in joy and excitement like michelle was getting her
life on that judging panel but no Rupaul looked at her stone cold and looked right in the other
direction to Raja like let's just quickly compare Ru's reaction to Raja pretending to cradle a baby
in a lip sync from earlier in her reaction to Yvie reinventing a wig reveal something's not adding up
Raja's performance was cute but she really didn't do much besides the little dancing number that
she did and i wanted more from her Raja danced to this song but Yvie lip-synched for the crown Yvie
would get a hot for me and Raja a warming up here however rue does select Raja as the winner of the
title she done already had herses and 50 thousands rudolas oh and by the way as we go through each
lip sync in these brackets you'll see a little pie chart representing how my patrons voted on

all queens first up the fickle finger of fate gives us a lip sync between Jinkx Monsoon and
shady kool lady and miss Jinkx is in i think one of my favorite runways that we have seen her in
throughout this season she's in her fully evolved red farewell mona fantasy complete with armor a
flowy skirt and a big shiny sword she also gave me a little joan of arc fantasy but you know make
it like ginger witch and most importantly i could tell that she felt really powerful and beautiful
in this runway and i think she should be so proud of everything that she showcased throughout this
season runway's included she had some of the most memorable looks throughout this season
like her art reveals runway the light up burning witch look and even her very first i'm crowning
look she did not miss in this season the nerd in me was also really happy to see her wearing this
look because of her sharing the story about how she got the chip in her tooth earlier this season
from the red fair this look absolutely gets hot for me and miss shade tonight also looking
gorgeous i love this color combo there is just something about these different tones of yellow or
orange and that black trim around the almost doily looking pieces of peplum that are going down into
the final dress skirt with the train it is a gorgeous gorgeous gown and a gorgeous gorgeous
girl so many gorgeous gorgeous girls so little time and the thing i'll remember most about Shea
in this season is that even when she wasn't at the top she still held that unshakable confidence
which is i think the mark of a true winner this look is also hot and the lip sync that these two
are battling it out in is judas by lady gaga so both of our queens have reveals in this lip sync
and i don't think either of the reveals had a ton of payoff but they did both certainly have reveals
and this song i'll say is one of my favorite gaga songs ever so i did have a lot of high expectation
here and i've gotta say despite looking like kenny davenport's crystallized chicken while she
was doing it miss shea coulee hit the judas choreo in this lip sync and she slayed it doesn't seem my
patrons agree with my opinion tonight and maybe y'all don't either but nothing makes my heart
happier than seeing actual lady gaga choreo in a lady gaga lipstick and y'all know i love Jinkx to
death she is one of my favorite queens of all time she's literally on my wall back there etcetera
etcetera we'll talk more about this at the end of this video but for me Jinkx gets a warming up and
i've gotta give Shea a hot and next up our final entrance into nice lip sync brackets the twinners
and these two look gorgeous but due to youtube's monetization policies i actually can't show you
how beautiful they look like it is so wild to me that i literally cannot show illusion
fabric without getting a video demonetized it's happened before i'm sure it'll happen again i'm
not gonna fight it but just know that they look gorgeous trinity is completely vajazzled and she's
giving me just woke up in the ritz carlton and ah my god i don't have anything to wear i'm just
gonna throw this crystallized curtain on and hit the runway she looks stunning definitely
she says she is giving us neo african futurism what they would wear in wakanda to go to the
oscars and it's absolutely giving me that it is also a little dystopian mad max thunderdome
type of fantasy with all the piercings and chains the ruged blue fabric circling around
her body makes her very ethereal on the runway definitely a hot look but too spicy for youtube
and now for their lip sync to so what by pink what a coincidence that the all-stars four twinners who
shared a crown and one of the most contentious crownings of drag race herstory who ended up
on the same season of all stars all winners are now seen here in the final four battling it out
against each other in a lip sync for the death i mean crown there's definitely somebody behind that
wheel and you cannot convince me otherwise girl they milked this storyline dry kind of like your
these two queens these twinners right here gave it their all it was so crazy to see how synced
up they were tonight both on the runway and in the lip sync there were somersaults splits and
fist pumping and this has got to be for me one of the closest calls i was sitting there on the
edge of my seat biting my nails wondering who roo was going to pick because they felt really evenly
matched and it was really clouding my judgment that they were so in sync especially you know
with the little top and bottom moment that they shared how beautiful and i would have believed
either them regularly performed pink but i will say Monét's face was emoting so intensely for
this song and i think that is where she really took the win here for me but both of them get
so Monét comes out on top as we saw and she moves on to the final lip sync bracket round with Jinkx
Monsoon so these two lipsync to swish wish by katy perry let's talk about it i've got to say this was
a bizarre lip sync choice the rest of the songs tonight were making so much sense and i was really
enjoying them even if some of the outcomes weren't as i thought they should have gone i was living
i can't believe i was living while other people were having their dreams snatched away from them
oh that tweet so i can only assume they selected the song for the bracket based on it containing
a pretty fire verse from nicki minaj which would have been great to see these two actually lip sync
but they only showed them lip syncing to like three or four bars of nikki's verse which by
the way is the only good part of this swish swish song sorry kitty cats and i just didn't understand
the like weird cuts from different parts of the song to other parts which felt really just like an
extended chorus or something anyways Monét flosses she tosses money in the air and i really do think
Monét made the most out of a fairly boring cut of a lip sync song i also saw somebody point out that
at the beginning of the lip sync Monét pulls out some lip gloss or lipstick to touch up her makeup
and the goop in the gag is that she has Jinkx's name written on the side wow her mind Jinkx on
the other hand was giving us campy hot mom as she does best and i would get both of these queen's
hots here like they really were given lemons and they made a okay tasting lemonade but i do think
monets was a little bit sweeter however despite my opinion and apparently the majority of my
patrons thinking that Monét won the slip sync rue announces Jinkx is the winner i will note
here though i heard an obvious difference in sound quality when roo was uh making this announcement
the camera cuts away from roo talking saying that she made her final decision and focuses on the two
queens where we hear rue saying based on the lip sync and their performance is all season long at
which point it cuts back to Rupaul and like yeah maybe this is me having a little conspiracy moment
but i think this line was a voiceover i think they pulled rue into the sound booth and said look you
gotta announce Jinkx as the winner prefacing this announcement by saying that the decision
is including her performance throughout the entire season or else it's not going to make sense but i
encourage y'all to go check that out and let me know what y'all thought in the comments below so
jinxy Jinkx wins and she takes the title of queen of all queens she is the winner of Rupaul's drag
race all star season 7. i'm so happy for her i'm excited i'm enthralled i yes admittedly was in her
corner the entire time but i wasn't just in her corner and i don't think the entire fan base was
just in her corner she excelled every single week and is 100 undoubtedly in my mind based on the
track records throughout this season the queen of all queens like we're talking about somebody with
five challenge wins three of which were lip-sync wins and who even in episodes where she didn't
take a win could arguably have been justified as a winner this is someone whose legacy as a
contestant and breadth of talent as a performer i don't think will ever be matched in this franchise
but with all of the niceties and congratulatory things said i still don't think that Jinkx won
this lip sync bracket which is why i think the lip sync smackdown bracket for the crown is possibly
one of the worst ways that you could decide who to give a crown to the ability to dance and move your
mouth to a top 40 pop song cannot possibly measure the prowess of any drag entertainer literally put
yourself in any of the heels of these queens in this season and ask yourself if it all came down
to lip syncing to swish swish by katy perry is that fair is that representative of what you did
for the past 11 episodes and i think the answer is a very obvious no because yes lip syncing is
a traditional cornerstone of drag but the art form of drag itself has evolved so far beyond just lip
syncing and i think there's evidence of that just based on the challenges that the show presents to
these queens alone acting stand-up singing dancing choreography sewing curating content creation and
we as viewers i think have a social contract with the producers of this show that if a contestant
is good at several many of these talents maybe not all of them then they might deserve a title
from this franchise but i'll say that again winner queen is good at several many of these different
talents not just one of them which measures only one small tiny facet of what drag is and
ultimately can be plainly put it's reductive and no i don't think that having the most challenge
wins should necessarily guarantee a queen's crowning there are other factors at play like
what the audience would like and who the franchise sees is a good representative of the brand and
none of what i'm saying is a knock on any of these queens in fact i think i am trying to highlight
a celebration of these queen's many different varied talents and ultimately i'm happy that the
lip sync smackdown was evidently not the ultimate determinant of who won the crown despite the show
advertising it as such indeed i think production knew exactly who they were going to give both
titles to before this episode even started which like isn't necessarily a bad thing but i do think
that it's just plain bad tv to pretend otherwise i just think it would have made a lot more sense in
a season about celebrating the talents of these queens to do a finale that was just the final
four showcasing a set that they designed and a performance that they wanted to do like it is
just truly what i think our legends deserved like not a lip sync to katy perry's swish wish not that
anything but that and yes i've said a lot of words here welcome to my ted talk but that's because i'm
passionate about these queens and i just hate that the smackdown went the way it went because i don't
want it to taint the legacy of any of these queens so my final thoughts and pleas are drag race
please get rid of the lip sync smackdown for the crown it's not a good format sign the petition in
the comments below and yes i might be an insanely intelligent and beautiful woman obsessed with the
drag queens on my tv who lives alone with not even a cat but thank god i smell good
