jewel should be VERY proud of herself for not only surviving the tumors/surgery, but learning how to walk again, AND dance like that in heels!!!! good for her. wishing her continued health 💙
@@joeyhyung9224 I would not say this performance was exactly tiring because it was very well done with all the help from Camera and the music but when she did the same dance moves in the lipsync it certainly felt like there is nothing else to her dance. So I do agree with you on that. And let's not forget she has had so much help from literal drag royalty.
@joeyhyung9224 i mean, you went out of your way to say Jewels didn't do good, considering the original commenter was complimenting 3 queens and you piped in with "uh no actually just these two"
Honestly she was really good! But someone has to be in the bottom and I think that the average of “tactful” snd “objectively not top” voting tactics ended up being her
No one flopped, which is great! I would’ve put Joella in the bottom over Acacia solely because Acacia’s song was clever, if not particularly outstanding or memorable. It was a Suzie and Lucky top 2 for me, but I am as enamored with Jewel as anyone else too, so tough call.
That’s why it shouldn’t be called talent show. Even though you show a real talent, it’s not going to be recognized as long as it’s not glam, comedic/stupid and or slay choreo. Plane Jane showed us how to play the game last season
no literally this is a talent show and sure swirling and twirling takes talent but all yall can do that acacia played guitar and sang she was def high safe
yeah idk why Accacia is in the bottom. but tbh Joella should've been in the bottom. Also did not love the shady eddit for Arriety, it was not a bad performance. Maybe she could have level it up by doing multiple reveals when she spin around. I can see that Lucky and suzie should be top but i didn't mind jewel was top 2.
@@ruruvarelaI loved Acacia! Her voice was gorgeous, I loved the lyrics, they were cheeky funny, and just really good writing. I would pay her at a performance for that! I would listen to that song on Spotify totally! I can understand not being everyone's cup of tea and it was a lower vibe maybe, but it was such a good song, I loved her acting, and she played guitar live! It was giving Trixie! I was so in it honestly! Didn't think it was boring at all!
yeah it felt vaguely racist, like, its clearly her culture??? like sometimes you dont need to dragify a cultural display for it to still be beautiful and skillful.
@@RanPizza Well it is a drag competition... We have seen cultural performances that were actually entertaining before. You can even find more impressive and entertaining examples of the same style of dance on UA-cam.
I really thought she would be safe at least...but I'm not American so maybe I'm just into cause it's foreogn culture to me and thought "I must be misunderstanding and she might have been really bad?"
@@alexdelaloire8739 I think if Ru was judging and not the other queens, she would've been safe.... I mean, Acacia could've done better in my opinion, like give us a little more performance & annunciate clearer, but she did decent (plus she wrote the song)
My ranking 1st: Suzie 2nd: Jewels 3rd: Lucky (Would've been 1st if she had a better runway) 4th: Lydia 5th: Acacia Forgot (I get she wasn't exciting, but I respect her for at least doing a live vocal) 6th: Arrietty 7th: Joella
Girl the way my rating is exactly the same except I swap Suzie and Jewels (but they’re pretty interchangeable for me). Also my reason for Lucky being 3rd wasn’t her runway but just because while her talent show was fun af I do think we’ve seen that type of thing done a bit better before
finally one episode where the queens sort the placements themselves, and we still find ways to dig out storylines, mystery plots and conspiracies. Drag race fans are the worst.
They have similar styles and WERE drag family until lucky stopped talking to her, but there's definitely more personal stuff behind the scenes that we don't and shouldn't know 🧍♂️
@@RavanaMuse main assumption would be lucky distanced herself because nina was getting caught up in controversies. Could be more personal stuff to it but we literally don't know 💀.
I wasn't sure what Jewels was gonna bring performance wise but I live for her mortal kombat ponytail hitting every choreographed beat. She is super fun to watch. Suzie is slightly chaotic but I live for it lol
Lucky Starzzz should have been in the top 2 imo, she offers a unique perspective on drag and she had a really entertaining talent and it was unlike other talent performances, which tend to be very similar, she’s my favourite so far ❤
Lowkey I wish the queens actually brought a talent instead of a lipsync it always feels like queens who do bring a talent are always over looked or looked down because they didn’t lipsync
I’m living for Jewels’s looks and personality but I hope she shows versatility the next time she performs cuz that talent show and lip sync were basically identical
I'm from Mexico and I HATE how everyone in this episode made awuful comments about not just Arietty's performance but the dancing itself. It's a cultural thing in Mexico and it was beautifully executed by her. I don't know why other queens from other countries were praised and Arietty was brought down by everyone. I know it wasn't the best from this episodes, but it was good. The only thing that wasn't doing any good to her was performing after Jewels' act.
ummm lets not play that. Cultural performances can fall flat too. It was boring. Folkorico dances are so much fun and Arietty's was boring af. She did not represent that dance style well.
I miss when talent shows had insane crazy stuff like sewing a dress in under a minute, breaking boards, all that stuff! And now we just have random self written songs
self-written songs and lipsyncs to go with them have dominated the talent shows since AS3 when they didn't limit the kind of performance. As iconic as some of those performances have been (Aja in AS3, Anetra in 15), most of the time it just fills space that could be used for more interesting things. Give me more Monet and Sapphira singing opera (the second of which even added humor with incorrect subtitles), give me Thorgy doing acrobatics while playing violin, honestly even acts like Jimbo's baloney ghost, bizarre as it was, are more creative and interesting than ANOTHER lipsync to a mediocre (at best, usually) song.
I just can't handle that the girls were already prepared for rate a queen after one season, just judge Judge's! I think Acacia got caught in the undertow a bit with the alliances because Joelle and Arrietty were definitely the bottoms. I legit watched this 3 times now just to be sure lmaoooooo
I might be wrong, but didn't pretty much everyone perform to their own original song? Most of them just did other things as well to make it interesting. Singing live really isn't the level of talent some of you are making it to be...
Drag Race can you please please PLEASE cast queens who can do actual talents other than "recording and bringing a comedic rap song from home" Its fine in moderation, but to have almost every performance to be a lipsync or an original pre-recorded song is getting REALLY OLD!!!
@leandromv170 i don't think it's a real talent thing i think it's just some people don't play up their talents enough, like with loosey and acacia they both live sang but let's be real it's not like they were in the 80th percentile of singers and the performances didn't have much else going on. Like if it was a Jan moment (ikik) then you'd have more of a case
You dummy this a tv talent show they don't have time to show actual acts at would take all day and cost too much money so they lip synchs to mutic are do acts that are not so long dummy
Arietty's cultural performance was nice. Its not a disrespect to the culture or country. But, its drag race...and the challenge at hand was a talent show. And, I understand wanting to display your culture, thats not the problem here. Its just that it was missing something to keep the audience and judges entertained. We kept interested and applauded because its a cultural performance, out of respect for the culture and country. And it was a good cultural performance. But it wasnt the best drag performance on stage
@Alive.But.So.Blue29 Exactly, it takes talent to perform a cultural dance💓 She displayed her talent, and unfortunately it wasn't the best performance on that stage. That doesn't take away from her talent or disrespect her culture, because she wasn't the favored person on that stage during this challenge
I'm starting to realize Ru never really prizes it because it isn't "dragged up". Which I'm not even sure what the would look like for these very cultural pieces. I love them but it seems drag race does not.
@ReallyRick Watch Matraka please or a few girls on LMD for their talent show or audition. Arietty whitewashed it. Which is funny considering the blackiana voice
I’m so proud of Jewels, she killed it. My ONLY note would be if a Pit Crew guy walked up to give her a glass of milk at the very end for her to take a sip, it would’ve been a cute gimmick.
Either Joella or Arietty should have been in the bottom...Acacia was safe at worst, and Lucky over Jewels in the top (even though Jewels did a really good job, too...a close third IMO)
I did this for season 16, where I do my own Rate A Queen for each episode. For this: 1. Jewels (could swap with Suzie. It was an ‘expected’ fierce bitch track but a well-done one!) 2. Suzie (unique and well-done, and just great vibes. I liked that it was a mix of talent, humour, and charisma) 3. Lucky (funny and wacky. I think if it were up to Ru she’d win cuz Ru loves this type of stuff. I do think we’ve seen this type of thing done better before though - which is why it isn’t rated top 2 for me) 4. Lydia (loved the concept and the first half, but it got a bit messy and the end was underwhelming) 5. Acacia (decent singing, and an actual simple presentation of a talent, but missing something) 6. Arrietty (repetitive and I’m sorry boring. Lovely visuals and I like the cultural aspect but it was 1 minute of skirt waving) 7. Joella (baby I love her but girl, it was a mess I’m sorry. Song was fun and there as some humour but it was just wasn’t done very well)
Dear WOW and the empire of RuPaul - I am begging you to let these seasons breathe just a bit OR release them all at once so they can be binged properly. I wanna finish Canada before I get into S17, but if I do it'll be spoiled for me just by opening UA-cam. You cannot make every series a weekly release and get the viewership numbers you deserve on this scheduling. I never ever want to feel like keeping up with Drag Race is a chore because I live for these queens and their stories. But I am humbly asking to either release non-US seasons all at once or to let me finish it before you push out new US seasons so I can focus ❤
If it were up to me, I would put Joella in the bottom. I honestly thought Acasia did better and I believe playing an instrument is more of a talent, than lipsyncing to an original song
Ever since S14 we have had a performance that has stood out from the rest and Even gone viral online (Willow, anetra, Mirage) so far Lucky starz is the one I wanna Watch on repeat, let's SEE what next week brings
It feels like Joella was only cast for two reasons: Because producers knew Katy Perry was the first guest judge, so it would make an interesting story. And because they needed Asian representation. They certainly didn't cast her for her amazing talents. Now that her story is over, consider her eliminated.
jewel should be VERY proud of herself for not only surviving the tumors/surgery, but learning how to walk again, AND dance like that in heels!!!! good for her. wishing her continued health 💙

Honestly she was really good! But someone has to be in the bottom and I think that the average of “tactful” snd “objectively not top” voting tactics ended up being her
you can love something which was on the bottom of a competition. It doesn't mean their art was bad gurl..
I liked her voice so much!!

But nobody did anything amazing either
As an Asian, it’s a no-brainer for me to automatically root for my Asian queens, but no hate, Joella is making it damn difficult so far.

acacia was not as bad as they made her seem. she was right behind suzie, lucky and jewels for me.
honestly I do genuinely think it wasnt bad, but bc it's not drag or glamorous enough it didnt stand out as much as others
@@Airahar im sorry i thought it was a talent show and she quite did a talent singing live and playing an instrumental to a original song.

no literally this is a talent show and sure swirling and twirling takes talent but all yall can do that acacia played guitar and sang she was def high safe
Okay so Suzie showed a lifelong skill of intricate show style tap dancing. They don't do it like this very much these days. I am living for it.

rupaul can't sing so performing real music in front of him never ends well
I really thought she would be safe at least...but I'm not American so maybe I'm just into cause it's foreogn culture to me and thought "I must be misunderstanding and she might have been really bad?"

Also my reason for Lucky being 3rd wasn’t her runway but just because while her talent show was fun af I do think we’ve seen that type of thing done a bit better before
Mild take, the fact joella was safe, was for the Katy Perry storyline.
im sure the only reason they casted her was for this storyline lolll 😭theres no way she’s making it far into this competition
I think she was safe purely because the other queens would have felt bad ranking her last because of her connection to Katy lol
finally one episode where the queens sort the placements themselves, and we still find ways to dig out storylines, mystery plots and conspiracies. Drag race fans are the worst.
The way Katy Perry's prwas WORKING OVERTIME this premiere....just goes to show how problematic Katy was because Joellea was there to be a stan
the other queens did the rating, did you watch the show tamar?
Joella should have 1000% been in the bottom. I wish I had that level of delulu to think that was electrifying. 😆
I can't help but to see NINA BONINA BROWN when i see LUCKY STARZZZ...LOL😂❤

Just because it's a 'cultural performence' doesn't make it autamatically good. And her performance was flat and forgettable, nothing interesting.

4. Lydia (loved the concept and the first half, but it got a bit messy and the end was underwhelming)
5. Acacia (decent singing, and an actual simple presentation of a talent, but missing something)
6. Arrietty (repetitive and I’m sorry boring. Lovely visuals and I like the cultural aspect but it was 1 minute of skirt waving)
7. Joella (baby I love her but girl, it was a mess I’m sorry. Song was fun and there as some humour but it was just wasn’t done very well)
Dear WOW and the empire of RuPaul - I am begging you to let these seasons breathe just a bit OR release them all at once so they can be binged properly. I wanna finish Canada before I get into S17, but if I do it'll be spoiled for me just by opening UA-cam. You cannot make every series a weekly release and get the viewership numbers you deserve on this scheduling.
I never ever want to feel like keeping up with Drag Race is a chore because I live for these queens and their stories. But I am humbly asking to either release non-US seasons all at once or to let me finish it before you push out new US seasons so I can focus ❤
My rank:
1st Suzzie
2nd Lucky
3rd Jewels
4th Lydia
5th Acacia
6th Arrietty
7th Joella
If it were up to me, I would put Joella in the bottom. I honestly thought Acasia did better and I believe playing an instrument is more of a talent, than lipsyncing to an original song
LUCKY WAS ROBBEDDDDDD
eww no
I guess Ru was thirsty this season because they tried to pour Ru a few drinks this episode.
Acacia deserved High Safe
i LOVEEEE lydia’s performance
La leche is stuck in my head 😢
Rest in power The Vivvien
Acacia Forgot was my fave!!!
Ever since S14 we have had a performance that has stood out from the rest and Even gone viral online (Willow, anetra, Mirage) so far Lucky starz is the one I wanna Watch on repeat, let's SEE what next week brings
Suzie's Talent ❤❤❤👠
lucky was robbed
im whelmed by this group.
Pretty ironic the only girl to showcase actual talent ends up in the bottom...
loved lydia’s talent show performance!
It honestly looked like Joella didn't know the words, or that she doesn't open her mouth enough to look like she's syncing.
La Leche! 😘
It feels like Joella was only cast for two reasons: Because producers knew Katy Perry was the first guest judge, so it would make an interesting story. And because they needed Asian representation. They certainly didn't cast her for her amazing talents. Now that her story is over, consider her eliminated.
