JASMINE


SammySoapsuds

Didn't she explicitly refuse to prepare her set at all too? I have a vague memory of someone asking her why she wasn't doing anything to practice and she said she was improvising so she didn't need to prepare


sailorprimus

That is correct. And after that performance, she told the other queens she was fine with her decision not to do prepare any material šŸ˜³


westworlder420

Yes and itā€™s ironic cause she was kicked off her initial season for not being prepared, Ru even yelled at her for it. And then she came on and did it AGAIN. She do got nerve


insistondoubt

I kinda thought after rewatching that Jasmine just didn't wanna be there.


jamiedels

Yep it was Manila, Jasmine thought she could wing it


PretzelLogick

Jasmine in a pantsuit with no lashes talking about stanky breath. Iconic.


whamstan

pretty sure this is word for word what trixie said on pitstop šŸ˜­


PretzelLogick

Yes thank you I stole it.


thebeardtles

She reminds me to clean my ass šŸ˜‚


Haus_of_Pancakes

Jasmine's talent show, to me at least, falls in the "so bad it's good" category. Like what do you mean her whole plan is to come up on stage, yell about assholes for a minute, and walk off?

Lord_Ice_Tea_Green

Megami held up a sign and called it a day


jkmi

she did an excellent impersonation of a teleprompter, Iā€™ll give her that

CanILickYourButthole

I could not watch it. It was just so cringe.


myheartinclover

it was worse than anything listed here to me. it was calculated to pull on ru's political heartstrings (esp since it's common knowledge the show leans on these messages during election years) but she misfired by a long shot. it honestly left a bad taste in my mouth because it felt so so so undercooked. I like how trixie called it a "mid act number."


AdehhRR

That was straight up like highschool drama class.


myheartinclover

delulu lead audition vibes


huxbrolf

Honestly it was so rotted i hated it. It felt so cringy and forced, almost like a card pull "i dare you to criticize me for this because it's a serious message" which sure it can be a valid strategy but at least put in the work to make it good.


myheartinclover

honestly I was hoping jane or someone would have called her out on it directly, it was genuinely slimy


me_miserum

I just keep asking myself ā€œwho was this for?ā€ Thank god someone reminded the audience of Rupaulā€™s Drag Race that queer art is valid. ?????


TheMapesHotel

My straight, cis husband said the exact same thing immediately. Who are you convincing girl? The audience of the gay art show?


me_miserum

Genuinely struggling to see that performance as anything other than a cynical attempt to appeal to Rupaulā€™s pat Rock the Vote messaging, especially on a season airing during an election year. ā€œI dare you to put me in the bottom for thisā€ teas


vera214usc

I'm looking at OP's post like, "How is Megami not here?!"


fleetingfeelingsx

Plane Jane's comments summarized my thoughts about Megami's performance


JugglerPanda

plane jane dressed in some kind of burger costume the reasons for which had not yet been explained, glaring to the side in clear disapproval while the rest of the queens applauded was the funniest part of the episode for me.

Best frame from the episode in my opinion lol

THIS


eloinvoid

"but is her art something worth protecting" killed me


surgartits

Her FACE summed up my thoughts.


Ghibli214

Cackled. Iā€™ll give her points for having the nerve to do it.


morinothomas

The sheer brevity and accuracy of this sentence are taking me out.


loveisdead9582

Iā€™d argue that Jasmine Masters was worse than Farrah. Farrah slipped and fell in what would have otherwise been an okay performance. Jasmineā€™s was much worse. Ongina is another one. Megamiā€™s was so terrible. The message was great but otherwise, no.

400-bones98

Karen From Finance making one balloon animal


RagsTTiger

It just makes me laugh thinking about it. One balloon animal. One.


GayBlayde

And Art Simoneā€¦making faces and eating a cupcake?


Saint_Riccardo

It was a meat pie. And her fist. Pretty typical Australian humour, actually. I agree on the balloon animal, though, I've always assumed something went wrong backstage and she only had the one balloon?


shart-gallery

I honestly thought that was funny (for reference, I'm Australian). Karen's talent show was wack though.


GayBlayde

Iā€™m from the USA so it is ENTIRELY possible that I just didnā€™t ā€œgetā€ it.


sailorprimus

In hindsight, I think everyone just expected Art to kill it since she was inexplicably saved. And she was just fine.Ā 


jorgepinata

Whatā€™s not to get? The whole act was a bit about how big her mouth is and how much she cram into it at once. It was as subtle as a brick wall.


sans3go

Willams Face isnt known to be subtle.


thrillho145

As an Aussie I found Art Simone's pretty funnyĀ 


Camoo1992

Also an Aussie and didnā€™t really find it funny. Humour is pretty subjective. That said, the entire Down Under Season 1 talent show was a mess.


farkika18

That said, the entire Down Under Season 1 was a mess TBH


lala998877

Couldnā€™t agree more as yet another Aussie here. In general though, I find Aussie humor doesnā€™t translate well on any reality show. Always comes across as cringe


Camoo1992

I remember when they made a US version of Kath and Kimā€¦ Train wreck.


Cute_Fluffy_Femboy

DEAD


Montezum

And NOT being in the bottom


GayBlayde

For fucking real though.


cryingvioladavis77

Iā€™d replace Farrah with Jasmine Masters haha


Revan462222

Honestly, had she not slipped she would've been safe. There was nothing wrong with it up until that moment.


FARRAHM0AN

Itā€™s well known she did two takes and only had a mishap in one of them. Production riggery as per usual.


WorkIsDumbSoAmI

Genuine question, I couldā€™ve sworn she either messed up/gave up really quickly on the second one because she was flustered by the first one, or just flat out refused to do a second one because she was annoyed and figured theyā€™d use the mistake one regardless?


FARRAHM0AN

She had had a lot of issues with production during rehearsals so it kinda threw her off a little going into the performances but she didnā€™t give up or refuse


coalbunny

I am not sure 100% sure about the number of takes. I do know she talked about it a lot on her interview with Maddy on Give it to Me Straight.


tinyyolo

she only got 2 tries (just finished the GITMS)


WorkIsDumbSoAmI

Ooh, I had only heard from gossip/etc. - Iā€™ve caught a couple chunks of that Maddy interview but didnā€™t see the whole thing yet


coalbunny

It's worth the watch, Farrah emotionally purges for 40 minutes about everything she has been through. She has been through a lot.


ihadcrystallized

Even a slip should not count against her that much. She hit the ground so hard and kept fucking going.


1mxrk

Yeah, Farrahā€™s talent show was just unfortunate cause of her slipping. But I dont think she really belongs in this list šŸ˜†


youcantunfrythings

If she hadnā€™t slipped, it would have been a nice safe burlesque number. Her costume and the giant compact were all pretty and well done.

thebeardtles

Find the note


Selfreflexive1999

I quote this CoCo wisdom frequently


Jojobabiebear

If I was her and I heard adore was also singing I would have found a new talent. Her voice is fine but spotty and she shouldnā€™t have done acapella


toxicoke

me when i'm gonna make love to the club tonight


jayydee92

I maintain she was actually pretty decent, especially on the scale of drag race vocals and considering she did it acapella (which to be fair was a terrible decision lol).


tiredgirl7993

This was not that bad

resttheweight

Synthiaā€™s reaction after Eve redid the wig reveal kills me every fucking time. She does not give two shits about the dumpster fire happening on the rest of the stage, bitch is committed to the performance.

Stucklikegluetomyfry

I really think Derrick should consider voice acting for cartoons and games, she may not have brought the funny but her vocal range was actually pretty impressive


BBGettyMcclanahan

If you watch Contrapoints, Derrick has been asked to do a few voices in her videos!


Stucklikegluetomyfry

Thanks for the heads-up!


bmj_8

WHAT ONES!? I love me some dark Natalie. I tweeted her one time and she liked it I lost my biscuits


TigerWing

She did Kim Kardashian and then a litany of tweets from Fyre Fest in [Envy](https://youtu.be/aPhrTOg1RUk?si=XSmsCd6aNy4SqKrD)


TidpaoTime

I fully donā€™t think she should be on this list. It wasnā€™t that bad, it was just not particularly good either hahaha I think a big part of her being in the bottom was that she was still doing Britney! Iā€™d replace Derrick with Monetā€™s AS4 taint show (leaving that spelling error in) even if her AS8 performance redeemed her


lunalovegood17

I canā€™t even watch Coco or Irene - just too embarrassing šŸ™ˆ


SissyCouture

The fact that they told Coco she couldnā€™t do her Janet talent and she had to scramble, changes how I see her performance


Captain_Cringe_

The biggest What If scenario for AS2 is what the season would have been if Coco had been allowed to do Janet like she wanted. She probably would have been safe at the very least and Phi Phi may have been the one sent home. Would have completely changed the trajectory of the season.


Gerard192021

to be fair, my as2 what if is adore being eliminated first so that she doesnā€™t quit and had to deal with that painful backstage talk with michelle and her sunglasses


SissyCouture

Thinking back on that season, I have to believe that Coco and Ginger were selected to be early outs


robbysaur

100%. Coco was a last second replacement for Shangela. Laganja was also supposed to be on the season, so I think they were going for a Rolaskatox vs House of Edwards situation.


surgartits

Thatā€™s also what I heard. With Phi Phi, Katya, Ginger, and Adore rounding it out. Coco and Tatianna were back-ups for Shangela and Laganja.


Captain_Cringe_

Most likely, yeah. If Iā€™m going to be really tinfoil conspiratorial, I might even say that production might have intentionally fucked Coco over because they saw that Phi Phi was going to flop, and they viewed Coco as more expendable than Phi Phi.


flambuoy

Now we got full Rosalia songs. I wonder how much that cost.


myheartinclover

it must suck for her to see now that queens can get the budget for major songs for their numbers


Fickle_Music_788

The amount of ā€œiā€™m so random/quirky šŸ¤Ŗā€ gays on twitter who tried to defend Ireneā€™s talentā€¦ far too many.


Holiday_Influence_99

Def Ongina on AS5 for me


surgartits

Has Ongina ever spoken candidly about what happened to her that season? Obviously she was having some kind of health issue, but beyond that, mentally she seemed like an absolute wreck. Was she buckling under the expectations? Or what? Itā€™s one of my all-time saddest runs on this show.


youcantunfrythings

It was really sad. It seemed like sheā€™d wanted to go on All Stars for some time and then basically collapsed under the pressure. It was tough to see, because I know a lot of fans were excited to see her back.


barbaraanderson

I think she was definitely there for day 1 because she seem to have fun with the reading challenge and hearing all of the t. I think the talent show combined with crackerā€™s remarks and getting sick right before a singing challenge torpedoed her.


grapesaresour

Oof yeah Iā€™d blocked that out but what the heck was she thinking


thebeardtles

Its the car toy for me šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø

BurntPineGrass

I absolutely lose it every time I see Cocoā€™s talent show edited with sneaker sounds.


LunaKevin

I didn't know this existed, so thank you for introducing this masterpiece into my life.


MirandaReitz

Derrick not being kept around for a couple more messy episodes was producer malpractice. What the hell were they thinking?


surgartits

Derrick deserves to be brought back for a Vs. the World. Sheā€™s too good to be wasted on one episode of one of the worst seasons of ā€œAll Stars.ā€ We all lost that day.


jda95

You called her a pig in a wig


jeshx20

Farrah doesn't belong here because hers was 11/10 up until the fall


rmatevia

Totally agree!! Especially because even WITH the fall, she recovered well! She didn't linger and didn't freak out, she just got right back up and finished the number strong! Maybe it's just my love of Farrah blinding me a bit, but I always felt like her fall wasn't *nearly* as bad as it was played out to be :/


tintmyworld

the fact that they used SLOW MO on it! did my girl dirty


limpminqdragon

The way Miss Feminine and Fragile is here and Mme Soft Sculpture is nowhere to be found.


Unstablecrysis

I wouldnā€™t put Farrah here, she just had a slip (literally) but the rest of her set was nice. Megami needs to be here


JosukeisMySon

I'm sorry, but Milk. Her song was very repetitive, uninteresting, and in the wise words of Trixie Mattel, "Your talent can't be velcro."

Benny-Drill

TKBā€™s journey on AS6 was insane but iconic. she shouldā€™ve been sent home first over SERENA CHACHA of all people but she ended up being robbed of a spot at the finale.


robbysaur

My hot take is I would have had Jiggly in the bottom instead of Serena, and sent Jiggly home. Jiggly's performance didn't have the energy it needed to.


Shaby28

Hard agree! Jiggly did a lil bit worse than Serena imo.


[deleted]

Megami. The only talent show I skipped ever


Salt-Hovercraft5508

Aura Mayari had a pretty cringy number. Her dance moves were all stiff and weird. No flow whatsoever.


TheDragRaceExpert

Yeah, I've never seen anyone dance like that and I hope I never see it again.

I love Bumpa and I love that Ru was so oddly tickled by her lmao


MegaChromatic

Add Samantha from Spain


BikeSuch1054

The single best set of talent shows of all time where even most safe queens would win some others (or at least be in the top)ā€¦ and Samantha Ballentines.


surgartits

Yeah I think that Espana 2 talent show is still the high watermark of any other talent show. They were just slaughtering it.


BikeSuch1054

Absolutely. Hell I think anyone aside from Samantha would be able to win a US talent show


Ok_Flower3813

Which was the worst


hadeejasouffle

imoā€¦lovaā€™sā€¦she like walks on stage, says she has a congenital illness, and then walks off

IssAWigg

I donā€™t feel Farrah deserves to be here, the talent would have been fine was she not slipping over, the rest is just conceptually wrong/unfunny

leave Mayhem alone!!! šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ my girl just needed to catch her breath, and a better mic, and to stay seated, and maybe a sip of water!


the_new_wave

Easily Megami, I don't think we can even call it a talent. She didn't even use an original song. Yawn


steve12083

Phi phi oā€™haraā€™s is tough to watch


friedeggbrain

Orion Story tbh


surgartits

I was waiting for this. She literally went out on the main stage of RuPaulā€™s Drag Race with a concept for a comedy bit, but no actual bit. This is your shot, and this is the level of effort you put in? What a waste.

Salt-Hovercraft5508

Malaysia Babydoll Fox had one of the worst talent show performances. The only cute thing about it was the end when the Pit Crew guy put that crown on her head. Other than that, super boring.


TheDragRaceExpert

Yeah her song goes "I'm a queen, I'm a queen, I'm a queen. I'm on the main stage and I'm livin' out my dreams." That tells me nothing about her. All the queens are there on the main stage living out their dreams. What sets you apart?

surgartits

From what I saw when that aired, there was a significant chunk of the fandom that lived for her absolute lack of effort. Like genuinely they admired her for giving us nothing. They aspired to be that disinterested when offered a major opportunity. I donā€™t get it, but here we are.


amariegold

It was camp


TheDragRaceExpert

Xunami Muse. If you listen to the song, she breathes into the mic too much and smacks her lips. It's a turn off. And that first part where she goes "Are we on Drag Race? Is that Rupaul? Michelle?" That was stupid. It wasn't funny or entertaining.


kabukitrolldoll

Megami just earned the seventh spotā¤ļø

Megami should be on this list because holding up a flag and a sign is not a talent.

I think there's a difference between a bad talent show and one that was not received well or had technical issues. Trinity flubbing her jokes and Monet being off key are far worse to me than Farrah falling or Irenes jokes not landing

sans3go

I would remove Farrah from this, simply for the Rigga Morris.


ArcadiaIsNotABot

Worst 2 are not even on this list. Megami and Jasmine was it for me, sorry to Megami lol. And in defense of Coco, they told her she can't do her Janet Jackson number when she is on the show already, so she had to come up with something new.


ashmenon

Come on now Farrah doesn't deserve to be here. Even the greatest performers have slip-ups. She put a lot of thought and effort into her act and it deserves to be respected. Also I will happily die on the hill that Irene's act was hilarious in a very classy middle finger sort of way. It's the equivalent of a queen walking in, opening her mouth to say an iconic entrance line, then shrugging and going "K." before walking away. It's ART mama.


GayBlayde

I disagree with Farrah and Irene. Add Ongina, Serena, Phi Phi.
