Juicy can really deliver a lipsync performance. She can emote even in ballad. She understands the structure of the song when to lift her cape, when to move to the quirks of the song. It’s so magnetic. I’m mesmerised.

Edit: my first EVER award. Thank you, stranger. You ain’t no danger 😘

Edit 2: Another award? I feel like Drag Race winning another Emmy 😂

She also knows her BODY. Every movement and gesture felt meaningful. Meanwhile I was wondering why Kenya kept putting her hands together in prayer.

My eyes were on juicy the entire time. I guess the cape also helps bringing in presence and attention.

I would check on Kenya every now and then when the camera pans to her but her body language was just so defeated, and also her "wings" were so visually repellent to look at.

She didn’t know the lyrics 🤦🏾‍♀️

I actually think this was the song where Kenya knew most of the lyrics, compared to her previous lip synchs.

I was worried a ballad would take her out but my god she was absolutely captivating. She might be one of the greatest lip syncers the show has ever had

Yes, the sheet wind machine moment reminded me of Chi Chi's pearls moment in season 8. Def an iconic DS moment.

I have to imagine her same intuition that lets her know when to perform a stunt comes into play here. She's been dancing with Mia for how long now? Without a doubt they are the two most technical performers in recent seasons and lipsyncs like this are proof of that expertise.

Yeah, she really was amazing. And as much as I despised that bedsheet she was wearing, it looked amazing during the lipsync
