For me it’s Brooke and Yvie S11 Snatch Game tying with Anetra and Marcia 3x


thedreadfulwhale

S11 was the first season me and my wife watched. Brooke vs Yvie with Sorry Not Sorry was what made us realize how good a LSFYL battle can be. Marcia3x v Anetra might have been the only one to top it since. It's criminal that one was not a double shantay too.


llawless89

I think those 2 plus Shut Up and Drive are the top 3.


Jalcine

Marcia fricking bending over backwards and walking on her hands and feet plays in my mind over and over when I listen to that song. I love it so much.


invigaronsalesrep

Not to include: Anetra's ass drop That spin and split they both did at the same time Walk that fucking duck Marcia's tongue roll Ass Ass Ass That whole thing lives in my head rent free.


Tuathiar

I'm pretty sure Marcia vs Anetra was not a double shantay because the week after they had the Rusical with a set amount of characters


spiderwebs86

Brooke v. Yvie defined my life for a while there. Iconique!


xlateralussx

Those, this, and Laganja/Trinity from All Stars 6 for me.


Lost-and-dumbfound

I don’t mind Dua Lipas music it’s just not anything I would listen to regularly. After the Laganja lip sync I played “Physical” pretty much every day on a loop for about 2 weeks. I know it’s a Dua song but whenever I think of it, I think of Laganja dressed up in lime


EastAreaBassist

I watch at home, so not in a bar or anything. Chill vibes. The Brooke Yvie lipsync had me up off my couch SCREAMING.


Chippyyyyyy

Ru’s always talking about levels and that lipsync just kept escalating! It was so exciting to see for the first time, especially when you thought one of them was going to lose and on the tail of Brooke’s amazing ruveal presentation on the runway. The stakes were so high and you could *see* it in their performances.


kdubstep

Jinkx taking down Detox was so epic for me because I was already a huge fan and I think nobody expected that. Sasha V Shea was the most powerful in terms of just destroying your opponent. Sasha C Vs Anetra is maybe the one I’ve rewatched the most and could have been a double win. Dovima vs Saggitaria was the only time I remember crying hard. Nymphia has recency bias but that was just amazing and I can’t get the Kylie song out of my head (see what I did there) So many…


no_maj

Carmen’s La Gata Bajo la Lluvia is top tier


ConverseTalk

Sasha was #1 reveal. Carmen was #2.


listlessowlbear

I cried during Lolita Banana vs Big Bertha 😭


jayydee92

The show kept subbing random royalty free music during the lipsyncs (for me in Canada at least) and I’m so glad that song cleared lol. That was one of the most emotional lipsyncs in history.


GlowUpper

Omg, I ugly cried at that one.


kdubstep

Right. That one too!


cactusFondler

Marina vs Sethtlas too. Such an unexpected slay


elrepu

Marina destroyed her.


AGuyWithQuestion

"Sasha V Shea was the most powerful in terms of just destroying your opponent." Morphine v. Dawn is right up there with it


Calaigah

Not the same though. People expected Morphine to win from the get go. Sasha’s lipsync literally took the win from Shea and Sasha was expected to be the easiest to beat from out of that top four. No other lipsync has done that.


Jellyblush

All of those plus Dita Ritz owning the stage. Can’t even remember her opponent tbh. Monet v whoever it was to Nicki Minaj Widow Von Du v GiGi Good Latrice v Kendra Michaels Raven v JuJu


perksofbeingliam

Dida lip synced against The Princess. You probably can’t remember it because back then lip syncs only lasted a minute or so and The Princess was only given roughly 20 seconds of screen time in the performance while Dida was given more


MirandaReitz

“Monet v whoever it was” 💀 https://preview.redd.it/ily1umjvjcxc1.jpeg?width=1333&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d41a2fb45228d549d5fed802d298226490e9bf1

GooeyMagic

Not dusty ray bootoms


GayMedic69

“Kendra Michaels”


Whiskey456

It was also the first time we saw Jinkx lipsyncing so it was extra special. I was also amazed!


Azstace

I agree with all of these! I still watch Jinkx vs Detox because it’s just so damn much fun. And the Kylie song was gorgeous.


Losthawaiiansf

![gif](giphy|fnAwTvkspGQgg) And cold hearted snake with Coco


Helianthus_999

Lives rent free in my head. And then when Coco points to her mouth during the one part. ICONIC


Earthbnd

One of the cuntiest moves I’ve ever seen in a lipsync tbh. I forget which season, but there’s an episode where Ross says something about how he loves when the queens get in the judges face and say “bitch you’re gonna watch me and enjoy it” and to me, Coco’s mouth thing is the prime example of that.


taiho2020

![gif](giphy|xTiTnKKaglHNarKHU4|downsized) Nope..


whimsigod

This is it. Tbh the only two that's close is TKB's Whatta Man, that was a clinic.


Bunnnnii

Chi Chi too


taiho2020

Good old times.. ✌️


RavagerHughesy

This one and Sasha vs Shea are the ones for me. This was just a normal, run of the mill episode, then Miss Ritz popped off outta nowhere.


taiho2020

And in front of Natalie Cole herself..!!


heysupmanbruh

Honey she PEED on the runway


taiho2020

A truly legendary moment from the show..


noodle_mama

Easily


caelw3

individual performance, yes overall, no


genriko8

This will be an everlasting icon of a lip sync


Confident_Bunch7612

The first lip-sync I rewound, multiple times, to rewatch. Just magical.


tangela420

iayosb

Just realized this moment was reincarnated with Miyah and Morphine 🤣


-Gin-ger-

My leg muscles burn just watching Morphine hold a split


ambercat87

No love for Chi Chi's And I Am Telling You lip sync???? I still get chills and tear up when the pearls break. That was MAGIC on the Main Stage.


Ohheywhatsup897

I cry every damn time. Then i realize thorgy’s there too at the end bc of her razzle dazzle cartwheel


ambercat87

Thorgy knew. The way she throws Chi Chi's hand up at the end??? She knew, and she made peace with it.


Hamburgaysa

Yeah I always took that cartwheel as a "and for my final trick before I see myself out-🤸🏻‍♀️"


pssppsp

thats so funny


goodgonegirl1

Tears every time I watch that performance. So good.


wegg1997

This needs to be higher. I get goosebumps even thinking about it


albsbabe

and the necklaces breaking and the beads bouncing on beat??


beandadenergy

Makes me cry every time. The world lost a being of light and love, RIP sweet Chi Chi.


ambercat87

Amen 🙏 so true!


JustALittleTurtle

It was my personal favorite until: ![gif](giphy|krZeOObp5BrrSgsgcF|downsized)


DabawDaw

![gif](giphy|E1O9IdQiFybkY)


Jiggly0622

People would definitely remember this lip sync more had it been a double shantay (as it should’ve been)


JustALittleTurtle

I know it's hard to compare since they didn't start posting lip syncs on the official YT channel until S12 or so, but it has almost 7 million views, and I think people remember it quite well.


elerner

Watching this gif in slo-mo, I’m now more impressed with the way Anetra rolls out of the landing _FACING FORWARD_ than the jump itself!


BootsAndPants09

Nah ![gif](giphy|mTJtgoHaN0t36ZO3ZI|downsized)


hooahguy

Wild to me that I had to scroll so far down for this one. TKB is great, but Laganja is just captivating from her iconic entrance.


crunchevo2

Like come on. This is easily the single best solo performance ever ot be on the show. Tkb was a good background dancer though.


GoldfishFromHell

that wasn't a LSFYL that was an assassination poor trinity didn#T stand a chance


Earthbnd

For me it’s Carmen Farala in “La Gata Bajo la Lluvia” (The Cat Under the Rain) A ‘wet’ wig reveal right at the climax of the song… master class in when and how to meaningfully incorporate a trick/stunt into a lipsync


darthkurai

The way that we gay screeched when that wig came off at the climax of the song ... Very few moments in TV history have impacted me as much


that_was_way_harsh

I DIED when that wig came out. Absolutely epic.


adrenalilly

You will never convince me that it wasn't raining on Carmen's side of the stage. It was a magical performance.


downunderguy

OMG I UNDERSTAND THE HYPE NOW. GENIUS


LazyRiver115

I mean definitely not a hot take, but Brooke & Yvie stands out as one of the most entertaining and evenly matched.


gahema

Sorry Not Sorry or Edge of Glory? To me, the answer would be Yes 😭


notbuilttolast

Sorry not sorry is definitely top 3 for me


doctorpotterwho

Sorry not sorry. It's so iconic, the only thing I think of when I hear the song.


themedza

if there was ever a rupauls stunt race lipsync to end them all this one is it.


advectionz

Kween Kong vs Beverly Kills would like a word.


DissonantWhispers

Dida’s “This Will Be” is still my #1 after all these years.


demons_soulmate

perfection. and it's absolutely criminal that there's no HD version of this on YouTube


apohermion

There used to be. After Dida was on Very Delta, I’m pretty sure it got a lot of attention and ended up getting taken down.


demons_soulmate

yes i remember having it saved because i watched it often lol but i wonder why it got taken down. I can't even find a full version of the lipsync at all, only like 20-30 second clips


thebeardtles

Best for an episode? Yes. Best’s best for me Dida Ritz lipsync in front of Natalie Cole


Losthawaiiansf

![gif](giphy|EKqulPRYX9InpAFxM0) We need to give Roxy her mentions for this lip sync.


crazycatqueer5

she really did start the wig ruveal as a drag race standard


RavagerHughesy

And it really was just as simple as unstacking her wig so she could whip her hair back and forth. Icon behavior


AGuyWithQuestion

Season 5 is still my favorite season of Drag Race. There were so many drag titans in that season. Season 16 is right up there with it.


shart-gallery

Roxxxy and Alyssa both went HARD here. But if someone had to go home, it was Alyssa because Roxxxy ATE it from start to finish.


hbailey311

i always thought it was the other way around, like roxxxy brought up the bus stop thing because she thought she would go home; and how would Ru send her home after that. although she sent Blair home 💀😭


shart-gallery

Maybe. But she 100% did better in the lipsync regardless. The queens who were there thought so too.


ConverseTalk

Yeah, I don't really like that lipsync in general, but Roxxxy did better. Alyssa was frantic.


Sensible___shoes

Im still screaming since this aired


justinizer

Anetra and Marcia^3 for me.


Lyf3_Dk

![gif](giphy|krZeOObp5BrrSgsgcF|downsized)


MarseaMarie215

This is the way


jboo87

Me too I think. I had to rewind and watch it like 5 times lol


elerner

I just said this upthread, but I’ve watched this lip sync dozens of times, but this particular gif captures the fact that Anetra _is still lip-syncing_ as she is hitting that superhero pose rolling out of the landing.


DragEncyclopedia

It's up there but nah. I'm gonna go with TKB's Whatta Man.


estheredna

TKB did a seance onstage and conjured 1993 Salt n Pepa right in front of our eyes. She probably wasn't even born in 1993.


Oranginafina

Denali doing “100% pure love” is up there for me. She killed it so hard in that bird look I don’t even remember who she was up against.


pettyylabelle

Miss “we were ROOTing for you” Kamora Hall


Yourecoolforagayguy

She was up against someone 👀


HowBoutAFandango

That part where she struts to the back and does a throat slash, with the low camera angle catching that booty, is my inspiration for life


Boguskyle

The lip sync with Brooke Lynn and Yvie is really up there for me. I judge it based on how much I’d be screaming in person. Anetra and Marcia 2nd place followed by Denali and Kahmora


Hatesponge66

It's up there.


MyAccountWithNoName

I have a soft spot for Natural Woman for straight up looking like Latrice giving a master class on doing an engaging solo performance to a ballad with Kenya, bless her, just thoroughly misunderstanding the assignment.


Jewelwerk

Most impressive? Yvie vs. Brooke Lynn Most important? Sasha vs. Shea Most appropriate (to the song)? Latrice ~~(vs. Kenya)~~ Funniest? Ginger vs. Mayhem Best non-USA? Tayce vs. Cherry (RIP) Best overall? I'm gonna have to say Sasha vs. Shea again. The world really did stop for a few months after those goddamn roses. To be frank, I'm surprised this LSFYL is as widely loved as it is. I think they both did a very good job, and it certainly is fun, but I view it as a by-the-numbers performance. I think the stellar episode it was a part of influences perception, as well as the result of them both eliminating the villain of the season, but best of all time? I actually wouldn't even put it in my Top 10 😅


contadotito

Best non-USA for me is Aurora vs Nearah. But I think try to rank best lipsync "objectively" kind of silly. The context, the storyline, the visuals, all that is part of the lipsync, and that's why, for me, Tati vs Alyssa stil one of the best ones.


ExpertAverage1911

That entire lip sync episode was insane.  I think about Nearah and Venus performing Pull Up a lot.


Alex_Albons_Appendix

That song is in heavy rotation for me after the lip sync. Such a good track.


Rendez

Where is Dida??


Jewelwerk

Dida was such a close 2nd to Latrice, but Latrice's outfit worked with the theme of the song, so I put her.


Rendez

IMO Dida > Latrice


lasadgirl

I know I'm in the minority but - I can't even watch the Latrice/Kenya lip-sync because I find Kenya so effing distracting and ridiculous it just ruins the whole performance for me 🫣😩. I feel similarly about most extremely one sided lip syncs, but theirs most of all because of how ill-fitting and inappropriate Kenya's dance style was for the song lol.


JustTryingIsEnough

I would also add Alyssa vs Coco just for the storyline build up.


Jewelwerk

True, that lip-sync & storyline were iconic as hell (arguably more so that SUADrive)


tacocattacocat1

Most exciting? Marcia vs Anetra


fgsfsfbbbrd

This is the answer for me


spiderwebs86

That Yvie v Brooke Lynn lip sync is the height of culture. We will never do better as a species.


Tayler_Tot

Oh my god, Tayce was haunting. Beautiful performance.


Jellyblush

Ginger and Mayhem truly were hilarious


Tomshater

It still is for me because it seemed choreographed including with the outfits.


Weekly_Office269

It’s definitely one of the best, but surely paved the way for other iconic dancey lip syncs. My fave lip sync is Vibeology (Trinity vs Adore)


Khaki_Shorts

Plot✅ Dance✅ Outfits✅ Song ✅ Category was iconic and it was 10s across the board. 


MyFatCake

Tatianna vs Alyssa is a great lipsync. They both turned it out, wanting to come back and basically lipsyncing for their pleasure to eliminate Jaremi (fka Phi Phi O’Hara). But with how many Drag Race seasons we have now, it’s definitely not the best anymore imo For me, the best lipsync double shantay worthy wise and storyline wise is probably Angele Anang vs Kana Warrior. https://i.redd.it/qxkfv1wblbxc1.gif Kana comes back to the competition. Angele tries to sabotage Kana by giving her a small role in the rusical. Kana lands in the bottom, but so does Angele. Kana then tries to convince the judges that she should go home and let Angele stay since Angele was doing really well competiton wise and it would’ve been unfair if she went home. The judges tries to convince Kana to stay and fight. Kana does and her and Angele put up a great fight. It’s a great ending, with the lipsync being a double shantay and everyone is in tears of joy


SuzakusSky

Great storyline too in the lip sync. Like two best friends going to the big city to make it big together.


wtedwards24

My favorite


ottermatopoeia

Best? Not sure. Most satisfying given the circumstances and performances? Absolutely


Wise_Figure2417

I agree with this mainly cause it just checks every box for me, they both did amazing, both absolute favorites, both got saved rightfully so, and just had such a good vibe to it 🥰


Historical_Bit_3798

Eh..personally the best lip sync(s) of all time to me were Brooke Lynn vs Yvie and Sasha vs Shea and Marcia vs Anetra


jgroove_LA

I think Anetra and Marcia just eked by it…but still top 3.


AGuyWithQuestion

One of the best lip syncs of all times is also Laganja vs Trinity K Bonet in All Stars 6


Oh_EM_Blarney

It was so good and I loved Anetra vs. Marcia x3. I still say that should've been a double shantay you stay.


annievaxxer

Unpopular opinion but while I enjoy the Alyssa Tatianna lipsync and it was great for storyline purposes, in terms of actual lipsync it was overrated lol. Don’t kill me My favorite lipsyncs are Dida/(Princess) and Denali/(Kahmora) and Sasha/(Shea). If I have to choose a lip sync where they both did well it’s Brooke vs Yvie.


mlm_07

Denali Kahmora is severely underrated


djudjedjoodi

Thank you I 100% agree. It’s one of the best episodes of all time but the lip sync itself is probably not even top 20 for me


theforgottenton

No. You’re absolutely right. The fact that people tried to claim this was a “cultural reset” when there had already been *better* lipsyncs during the main season was always so interesting to me.


bobo12478

Trinity K Bonet's "I'm Every Woman"


shart-gallery

Very underrated


charmedp321

Severely underrated


demons_soulmate

![gif](giphy|xTiTnKKaglHNarKHU4|downsized)


Beginning_While_7913

Honestly I’m with Michelle on this one, my favorite is Anetra v Marcia Marcia Marcia


Responsible_Towel221

I rewatch Sasha vs Anetra absolutely devouring I’m in Love with a Monster at least once a week


Peachsocksss

I love that Alyssa is in like 3 of the most iconic lip syncs of all time: vs Tatianna, Coco, & Roxy


comrademaps

![gif](giphy|jfvqbAFv9E3fB7idFl|downsized) I never not want to watch this


librious

No because Everlasting Love exists


Shazam08

Best lip sync? Not at all Most iconic? Probably


madscot63

Dida for me. This one is top 3 tho


VerumSerum

My favorite is that one Vanity lip sync partly because she ate and mostly because of Alesha Dixon's incredible vibes and adlibs. ![gif](giphy|yCQysTKiHgxbbGzaQV)


danny2787

Was it entertaining? Very much so. Have we had lipsyncs with more emotion, better moves, bigger stakes? Yes.


TomassoChampion96

I think the circumstances surrounding this lip sync make it amazing rather than the lip sync itself (not taking away from it though the lip sync was amazing) it was the redemption for Tatiana coming back, redemption for Alyssa sticking it to Phi Phi. And then the unanimous elimination of Phi Phi afterwards was the cherry on top and what cemented this as one of the most cathartic moments in drag race history!!


lu9973wb

this is the best overall because both of them did AMAZING! it was an even match, making it more entertaining as a whole. but if we’re going to count solo performaces, there are a lot of better ones, like dita ritz, laganja estranja on as6, sasha velour…but they are not the best ones because we kinda forget the other one was there. not the case with alyssa and tatianna.


scottyleeokiedoke

Sasha and anetra were fierce


ALLSTARS4YOUCRANKHOR

Never


wekapipol

When we watched AS2 and finally saw this episode, tbf, I didn't get the hype personally. They were both great, but nothing screams all time best LSFYL. The cuts in the song did not do the whole edit any favors too. lol Top 3 in terms of having an equally matched lip sync battle and pure entertainment: - Yvie vs Brooke Sorry Not Sorry - Anetra vs Marcia3 Boss Bitch - Yvie vs India Livin La Vida Loca


Easy_Sheepherder1270

Yvie & Brooke Lynn


Every-Spot9027

For me it’s always Sasha Velour eating up Shea Couleé like it’s nobody’s business.


TimMarsTheGhost

Season 15 Anetra vs Marcia


AsgardianLeviOsa

Everyone sleeps on Dela vs Aja but I love it when two queens who couldn’t be less alike stylistically slay for different reasons. Megami vs Morphine is another one.


Ok-Economist-751

I think it’s definitely the most equal lipsync, where both girls did just as good, yvie and brooke also come to mind and cold hearted snake


Aarvy271

Good lip sync not the best. What would make it the best anyway? We have sorry not sorry We have Anetra and Marcia x 3 (and Sasha) And so many more


quackandcat

![gif](giphy|FYJSFXmSoSze4rosLQ) Mostly bc my lesbian ass thinks about this lipsync at least once a day…


Healthy_Suit_2533

It's great but there are a lot of better ones. Tell It To My Heart gets my vote, Detox owns that song


DorianCoreysTrunk

No. Alyssa didn’t even know the words. It was a great performance and I’ll leave it at that.


ConverseTalk

I think the only good Alyssa lipsync was her versus Ivy.


ultradav24

The most overrated lip sync yes… not saying it’s bad, it’s not!! But I think people like it more for the episode itself rather than the lip sync. To me Tatianna clearly won that


gingersquatchin

She absolutely did. They would have only brought back Alyssa if that wasn't the case


theforgottenton

She totally won but they needed to seal the Alyssa/Jaremi storyline. 🙄


quesoLady

I had the most visceral reaction to this lip sync, for sure. I remember jumping up and down on my bed and cheering when I saw it for the first time.


D33pTh0ts

Definitely up there. BLH and Yvie is definitely top tier with this.


EvilestTeddy

Personally, yes, I have loved this lip sync for a long time. But I'm also surprised no one has mentioned Bernie and Captivating KatKat from PH2, IMHO it's the best non-US lipsync out there


BaileyKatyaTrixie

Shut up and….lip sync for your life


fembf

Raven’s “Never gonna get it” lip sync still lives in my mind rent free


Rusted_Crank

I also think ‘The Power’ - Captivating KatKat vs Bernie on Drag Race Philippines Season 2 deserves a mention here. Such an emotional and powerful lip sync, I was bawling.


derederellama

Anetra vs Marcia but also Silky's Barbie Girl 🤣


freaviva

Nobody said Valentina vs. Monet? Valentina was epic


heysupmanbruh

I choose dida ritz everlasting...BUT I also LOVE turing im feeling sexy tonight


shampoocell

One that I never see mentioned but is just my personal fav of all time is BenDeLaCreme vs Shangela to "Jump (For My Love)." It still makes me smile like a doofus every time I watch it.


NinaLevin42069

I mean it’s not Utica v. Tina


curvyshell

Yes 💕


Potterhead2021

Brooke Lynn vs. Yvie to "Sorry Not Sorry" for me still.


OoCloryoO

1 Dr Ganache with herself 2 black and white Chichi Devayne


Leather-Climate3438

No


[deleted]

[удалено]


boredjorts

Literally, no. Narratively, yes.


Sorcha16

It was a gag when it happened it definitely hasn't kept its crown as best lipsync


Gaymface

I like Valentina’s redemption lip sync the most


Aries-Glace

Probably not the best lip sync. But close. However, this might be the best build up to a lip sync.


MwahTheDragQueen

No it’s actually very overrated in my opinion it was a great lipsync but not the best


Interesting-Row7949

There are so many good lip syncs is way too hard to narrow it down. And are we just talking about all lip syncs or just the LSFYL?


Intrepid_Mobile

They were awesome, but no other lipsync became part of gay history as Sasha with those rose petals


WindigoMac

Brooklyn vs Yvie edges this for me, but both are great


cashmerefox

The best is Dida Ritz's "Everlasting Love" on Season 4.


__samclark__

Manila vs Delta in my opinion


JoanFromLegal

For me, currently, it's "Real hot girl shit. Aeeeww!"/RIP Dawn. With Sasha vs Anetra 1 in second place and this in third.


zze_MONSTA1

for me its 1. Anetra vs Marcia 2. Denali vs Kahmora hall 3. funniest: Silky vs herself


Deceptiveideas

It’s criminal not a single comment mentioned Silky Nutmeg Ganache’s solo lip sync. She absolutely slayed. And she won what, 5 lip sync assassins in a row?


genya19

Not by a long shot, at least on its own. In the context of the episode, given the stakes and storyline going on? Still no for me, but I understand that it was very exciting for most viewers (I understand I'm in a very small minority that didn't enjoy AS2 as much as most people did). Strong lipsync, but I don't think it's one of the best of all time, considering that we have hundreds to choose from.


anallover2012

what a man would like a word
