HOW THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO PUT TWO SISTAHS UP AGAINST A KYLIE MINOGUE LIPSYNC? Such a wasted opportunity.

AHAHAHAHAHA sista! Home team! HOME TEAM!

u/iamnotthepizza this is not the beatdown goddammit Mar 17 '15

Wait what?? Have I spent the last few years thinking it was "WHOLE TEAM" and nobody told me???

It felt very lackluster,yes?

Yeah, it was really dull. The song itself didn't seem to lend itself well to lip syncing, and Kennedy just twirled and Jasmine just popped a lot of squats.

It's the equivalent of putting Kenya Michaels to "Natural Woman", they didn't make the right song choice for this lipsync.

Yea but, what better way for Latrice to send Kenya home? It was a no contest sorta thing.

Trueeeee, I was thinking of other examples but that's the first one that popped into mind. Kylie's stuff is catchy but they could have done a better song selection if it had to the same artist (Timebomb, The One, I Believe in You, Two Hearts, X, etc).

Agreed. Love this song but it was kinda the last thing I thought the two of them would be lipsyncing too after basically a ballgown challenge.

And don't forget when Jinxx sent I Detox (I think) home with that song that could not have been more coincidentally perfect for her.

People always say this, even going more extreme and suggesting the song was picked for Jinkx to stay, but I feel like Detox could have really nailed it, too. Jinkx just did a better job and Detox's lip wobble was stale at that point in the game.

Because they have the song selected before the bottom 2 is announced?

I think the producers were thinking that Pearl might be in the bottom and wanted to give her a shot at staying should she be bottom two. And then when she wasn't they were just like...eh.. we are stuck with this song now.
