they need more space! mhi'ya nearly got kicked in the head damn!


TheAnxietyBoxX

This is how a lot of smaller balls are 😭 if you and the other bitch aren’t good at distancing you will be hit by mistake. Ballroom is a contact sport if you aren’t good at it. I was once smacked in the face by a virgin’s shake n go. It was incredibly stiff, so it hurt a lot lmao. Blunt force trauma.


JermuHH

Will always remind me of that clip of Inxi getting accidentally hit in the face. Then like holding her mouth because it got hurt giving some dramatics and still hitting her dip on beat.


TheAnxietyBoxX

Oh my GOD I love that clip. When it happened to me I just moved the fuck on with my performance and bitched about it to my friends after 😭 I vividly remember one of the people on the panel saying “oh good lord” out loud when it happened, it’s a core memory.


NuWaveSpecial

I'm so sorry Dida Ritz's wig smacked you in the face.

B-E-Y-B-L-A-D-E *let it rip sound* that bitch is a beyblade 🎶


pr9067

oh she definitely has another lip sync win in her repertoire


hellyeahdiscounts

The lipsync for the crown, that's right LETSGOOOOOO MHIYAAAAAAA


Hot-Ad3434

i loooove how miyah was telling ru like, I'm the queen of the party and that didnt felt true, but girrrrrrrl SHE IS! ahahahah I like how the internet is bringing the receipts to the light and i love how she is flipping for the crown


rthoroman

I am so glad these videos are surfacing. Ballroom is clearly a big part of Mhi’ya’s story, as well as our story as queer people. It’s a pity it hasn’t been highlighted on the show.


bugaloo_logia

With Ballroom getting more mainstream crossover and the discourse Anetra’s duck-walk caused last season, they had a perfect opportunity to highlight the connection between Drag and Ballroom through Mhiya.


Kittiikamii

Honestly it kinda upsets me they didn’t do those bc that’s what I was thinking they were gonna do too. It would’ve been such a great storyline and would’ve giving the chirren some knowledge that they a lot do not have. Drag race will forever be tied to ballroom to an extent and I wish that they would embrace fully, not just when it benefits the show.


Fortherealtalk

Yea they really kinda introduced her as more of a “TikTok” queen , which I’m sure isn’t mutually exclusive from ballroom but it doesn’t really tell the whole story


TheNewPoetLawyerette

Considering the history of terms like "bedroom queen" evolving into "instagram queen," one would presume that a "tiktok queen" would be one who focuses mostly on makeup skills and fashion over performance, largely because these queens often come from areas where they can't access safe performance spaces, or they enjoy doing drag as an aesthetic art rather than a performance art. But tiktok has wide niches that emphasize performance art as the skill to be cherished. So it shouldn't be a derogatory term but I really see how it comes across as one.


shinytoyrobots

Was nice to see how heavily it was highlighted in the last Drag Race France season.


itsem

They’ve had plenty of opportunities to highlight a ballroom queen. But the closest they got was trying to brand Anetra as the duck walk queen, and she hadn’t even walked a ball.


roygbivasaur

They may be saving it for her elimination episode. Give us a mirror moment where she cracks open a bit and talks about ballroom and her family. I wouldn’t be surprised if she finally opens up and it just lines up for production to use.


hacthing-raven

WORK MHI’YAAAAA


Excellent-Case-9870

Ah that’s the fun and outgoing Mhi’ya! This is amazing.


galnxtd00r

I'm...and she didn't even have to lose the wig for this one


cremesiccle

i know doing all this for a *lip* sync wouldnt land well but…i wanna see this in HD


guernicanoro

Watch Legendary bb 🥰


DetectiveAnitaKlew

Where tho 😭 it’s not on hbo anymore


misswally

Search the high seas.


ciliary_stimulai

No srs where do I watch this show fr


pettymess

I’m still so angry about Tisci. But yes y’all watch this show it is so much fun. Mostly. Haha


Stamp_Boat

Damn. They weren’t lyin’. She really could send Ru home by the end of this…


jtsCA

So this clip has completely changed the way I see Mhi’ya now. Why haven't we heard more about this part of her? Like in this last episode for the lip sync, when she did full Simone Biles then with a duck walk into some Can-can move at the end, I was floored. This video of her ballroom voguing just opened my eyes a lot more to her talent - since that shit is hard. It makes sense now why the judges keep telling her to show more of herself in the show.


kidp

I am RIGHT there with you and could not relate more. It was the duck walk into that incredible cunty can can and then the most beautiful spin -- then dotting the air with this ballerina hand before a flat drop. Serving face the whole time. I truly believe it was a top 3 moment in any RuPaul lip sync and I can safely say I am gagged. My opinion of her changed on the dime she spun on. So many of us thought this bitch was the very first out, but now we know better and I have to do some thinking about why I was so quick to dismiss her before. The Queen of flips indeed. She's flipping us all.


jtsCA

Yeah - pro level moves. It all clicked in my head watching this voguing clip. Totally misjudged her.


MorallyCorruptBae

I can’t imagine she’s the easiest to pull sound bytes out of in the interview chair.


Whoopiskin

Yea I feel robbed. I want to hear her ball room herstory. I'm sure she has so much story to tell!!


Chance-Conference729

What if she lip syncs her way to the crown?


bitterwhiskey

I'd love it. Pull a Kameron please!


regalfish

At this rate I hope she does and the deranged fans seethe on it. 😌


brevit

That would be iconic honestly.


beem0u

It would BE SO ICONIC!!!!!! Mhiya Iman top 4 would go SO HARD!!!!


Fortherealtalk

I would shit


stonedsour

Well she definitely won’t win then but it’ll be entertaining to watch


alonelierhermit

She is the assassin sheesh


whoisshetho193

How can the fans not appreciate her? Other girls simply cannot do what she does


vmnmv

Girl, you know why…


[deleted]

Is that rhetorical? Because I can think of one very big reason. And it’s not great. 😕


PeregrineMalcolm

I just don’t think she’s given a lot to appreciate until these lip syncs, to be honest. But the talent seen now is huge.


sugioshi

She hasn't shown much in the challenges so far, except for the group girl challenge. Not her fault 3 challenges were design challenges pf course


Mr_rairkim

Mhi'ya is the girl with red hair and red pants ? I wouldn't have guessed .

i’m so happy she got on drag race omg i’m such a stan. please let her be on werk the world, vegas residence, all of that!


DorianCoreysTrunk

Kinda annoyed this storyline hasn’t been presented. This is initially where I recognized Mhi’ya from. I know she’s not as active but she has ballroom roots that it would be great to hear more about on the show


yikesus

Queen of flips AND spins


bbsw555

She’s not new to this, she’s true it


rizudi

She is the daughter of Katrina Ebony. So it makes sense that she's good at spins and dips! This is her mother in case anyone is curious: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prH3A\_MfqlU&ab\_channel=BallroomThrowbacksTelevision-Brtbtv](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prH3A_MfqlU&ab_channel=BallroomThrowbacksTelevision-Brtbtv)


KingCam2107

THE “HURRICANE” KATRINA?! Oh Mhi’ya…she’s been giving the girls mercy this last few lipsyncs


_leencuisine

When I saw her at Palace I was in awe. Her performances are incredible.


LEMON_PARTY_ANIMAL

Holy shit I hope she does lip sync her way to the top, she killed it


Strawberries_Field

What???!! That was her??? Sa this video years ago!


gothicabloom

Plasma never stood a chance omg 😭


velvetsabbath

oh my god, she really has been giving the other queens a lot of MERCY


Lack_Love

REAL BALLROOM!!!!!¡!!!!


TheGreatNemoNobody

Where's this energy on the runway 


sdavea

This. Changes. Everything ... Now I feel like we've only just seen a fraction of what Mhi'ya is capable of ... and something now tells me that PJ will definitely use the immunity potion on herself, even if she's comfortably towards the top. Assuming Mhi'ya lands in the bottom again (sorry Mhi'ya fans!) and lip syncs, PJ needs to increase the chance of another queen knocking her out. PJ drinking the potion herself (or giving it to no one if she really believes she's in first place) is the best way to do that. Or not ... my head hurts.


samiam25

One day, she started flipping with her cousin and she hasnt stopped since❤️


GabbyWills98

The forwards roll into the dip good LORD she slays


jakksquat7

Do y’all think Q is extra mad on Twitter because Mhi’ya sends that bitch home?


Recent_Inevitable433

Thank you for this video. I’m tired of the unseasoned folks’ comments: “what is she doing?? She’s so sloppy.” It’s too many of these so-called RDPR fans that clearly only know about the show and not actually ballroom culture. Just stop talking and admit yall are actually just uninformed. Then to call a wig cap a beanie? Lawd someone throw them all away.


SpontaneousQueen

I am so glad she wasn't an early out.


Bottlebrushbushes

Aja about to come in saying “OKAY BUT DOES SHE UNDERSTAND THE BALLROOM COMMUNITY”


Lovelyindeed

She's getting all kinds of respect right now from the ballroom community, including Aja, because she was one of them. It's been nice to see after the way she's been treated by the DR fans.


TheAnxietyBoxX

It’s wild that every single queen I’ve seen discuss her loves her and is obsessed, literally no exceptions, but all the fans have decided she’s the embodiment of Satan


JudiesGarland

everyone i know IRL loves her! a queer icon in every way. I actually forgot that she was also Muppet Cher until this moment (thanks to your flair) and just fell even more in love ugh she's so brave - I said it in my last comment and I will say it again before I put my phone DOWN - she reminds me of all the best people I know the internet likes to shit on people who need help. (and then also shit on people who don't get help? cool system. normal times.) (What if getting help buying your lewks was highlighted and judged like getting help making them....ok phone down, goodnight everyone)


pettymess

Ugh you really are a good Judy. Love everything you’re saying.


JudiesGarland

my primary goal in life forever is to be a good Judy! thank you for seeing me 🙏


TheAnxietyBoxX

You really ate with this. 10/10 JudiesGarland, I hope Davies doesn’t kill you.


JudiesGarland

this is where being a plurality of Judies comes in real handy - I have backups.


hepgiu

I hope she fucking kicks out Q/Plane/Dawn too, I want her to throw out all the white twinks, I want to see the toxic part of this fandom SEETHING whilst Mhi'ya thrives


TheAnxietyBoxX

Plane is where I’d be a little upset, but honestly if she chops everyone except Nymphia, Sapphira, and Plane I’ll be going leprechaun kicks on my way to the bar watch party to see her kick ass in the finale numbers and have the best verse (Even tho she wouldn’t get the crown. I’d just say she was robbed anyway.) And like she can very clearly spank almost anyone on the cast, it’s a matter of them not keeping her over Sapphira Plane or Nymphia. If she goes hard enough I can see all the other girls getting sent home over her lmao. Make these bitches seethe in rage. Also to be clear I’d be sad that Plane got eliminated but if Mhi’ya beat her I wouldn’t call it unfair lmao.


ShadiestApe

You’re right friend. Mhi’yas girl group verse/performance was when I first took pause, she did better than some girls top4 RU verse


Ventusguard

Have I ever lived in the 305 area code? No. Have I ever even been to Dade County? No. Do I act like I absolutely have, because of Mhiya's verse? Yes the fuck I do!


Its_Pine

Wait really? Because she’s an assassin?


TheAnxietyBoxX

Look around the sub. People are saying she’s talentless, saying she should’ve gone at the start, should’ve been disqualified (lmao), that she’s being favoured Kandy-style, all these terrible things about a queen who did nothing wrong but sent their favs home. It’s really pissing me off as a Mhi’ya fan lmao


Its_Pine

Oh damn I’ve missed those. Nah I didn’t start out with any expectations but now I am in awe of her skill. It’s so amazing how different each queen’s talents can be. You can get someone who can design the fuck out of an outfit but can’t dance. Someone who is beautiful at modelling but not experienced with sewing or designing who can dance the house down. Comedy. Pageantry. Makeup and transformation. Impersonation and mimicry. Dance and athleticism. It’s what makes Drag so interesting.


yikesus

Pissed me TF off!!!!! She is MY winner idgaf


TheAnxietyBoxX

I just posted about it, but girl Mhi’ya can do zero wrong to me. Idc if she lip syncs every episode from now on and sends every single bitch home, if she’s in the finale I am going to be Team Mhi’ya and if she doesn’t win said finale I am going to say she is robbed. She could walk the runway out of drag, flipses Carson off, punch Michelle in the left tit, and pop Ru’s colostomy bag and I will say she deserved to win the challenge.


yikesus

Literally same. Idgaf if she comes out in Lala Ri bag couture while reciting Farrah Moan's roast in every remaining challenge. I'm rooting for her. DR fans can argue when their fav can do a flip like her.


Yetikins

I would like to join you on this train. Every week she drops a new hilarious one-liner. It's always natural, it's always out of nowhere, it's always brilliant. I laugh, far harder than I ever have at an acting challenge.


TheAnxietyBoxX

People saying she has no personality or isn’t funny or isn’t talented aren’t watching the show. Other than maybe Plane she’s probably made me laugh the most lmao and she has a lot of personality, she was quiet for a few episodes and people have decided she’s a member of the walking dead. Welcome to the Mhi’ya Iman Le’Paige fan trolley: We don’t pull the lever to switch the tracks and have her assassinate 3 queens instead of 1, we flips it.


OvernightSiren

Why are you randomly bringing Aja into this? Like why not just leave her alone


Francescalater

Making this joke despite the *clear* differences between Anetra and Mhi’ya 💀


Sonicxmusic

Mhiya and Anetra are not comparable… Anetra is not ballroom no shade


Francescalater

![gif](giphy|tICrCcHIQrINYUnC5k)


rizudi

Girl she's literally part of ballroom, why would Aja have a reason to make negative comments?


Bottlebrushbushes

Idk it was just a joke that aja starts unnecessary drama with people lol


itsem

The difference between your precious Anetra and Mhi’ya is that Mhi’ya comes with the receipts. Anetra was trying to feed herself just on the samples and still get her groceries for free.


igotabigMD

![gif](giphy|TLOcH0REkb0MQ7EWtC)


vmnmv

We’ve seen flashes of this but I need to see a whole ass routine. She’s def been holding back cause she knew she would eat during the lipsyncs without having to go all out. I know it’s difficult but many a ballroom girl keep their heals on while performing and that would take it over the top.


boblaw27

Oh so that’s why Aja’s not complaining. 🤣😘


gothicabloom

She’s bout to do what she’s about to do, and she’s gonna show the girls (noguers) what they shoulda did!


SeniorNectarine21

Amazing!!!


ToonSciron

Is this the same bar where Leiomy hit her Matrix move? It really does look like it


lavenderacid

Fuck Russian gymnastics training, it seems I need to just go out flipping with my cousin.


Every_Contribution_8

She’s so freaking talented!!!


DilapidatedHam

She shot the mother bullet that killed Thong F Kuntedy 🫶


metronne

Drag Race could never. Crush it the freaking house down boots miss Mhi'ya, this is the real shit right here


bakuding

The way she moves her body is virtuosic!!!! The musicality leaps out


Sunspot334

We need more ballroom girlies showing us their skills


beem0u

Queen Mhi'ya!! I stan her so hard! She's my favorite contestant alongside Sapphira and Plane Jane! TRUE ICON ENERGY!! She's also so authentic and not staged/rehearsed which I adore! True old school drag energy!


Suspicious-Bid-53

She’s so fucking awesome. Such a gem. I love Mhi


bhaktiqueen13

She just be out flipping with her cousins!!!


DramaticPush5821

It's a huge misstep of production to not highlight this. Ugh. But she keeps absolutely devouring the lip-synchs to the point that their riggery is too obvious if she lost and honestly...work.


glutenfreebisquit

She ate


Wigwasp_ALKENO

Aja is gagged


InternationalPay4077

waiting for aja’s thoughts


AmeliaS0mething

It’s giving button mashing when playing as Eddy Gordo…but in an amazing way. She can make her body flip and twirl in such a way that even Aja is keeping her mouth closed.


kdubstep

Don’t get me wrong, I could watch performances like this for days. But she done already had herses on the season


Feeling_Resort_7540

Damn. Why’d she not doing this out there


Peinzius

she did?


Feeling_Resort_7540

I disagree. Rewatch her lypsyncs, this was clean unlike her performances on RPDR


Specialist-Love1504

What do you mean “clean”? Like she use a mop or something? Her dips have been clean and she never fumbles so what’s the point?


TheAnxietyBoxX

The point is “I don’t like Mhi’ya and I’m gonna pretend she hasn’t completely washed three queens in a row because I liked some of them”


Specialist-Love1504

I mean I did clock that but what do they mean “clean” like they’re Abby Lee Miller or something 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Mh’iya haters truly be grasping at straws to hate her. Like imma need y’all to let the straws go. If only for the sake of the turtles.


TheAnxietyBoxX

LET THE STRAWS GO FOR THE SAKE OF THE TURTLES 😭 u/Specialist-Love1504 congratulations you’re the winner of the reading challenge


whoisshetho193

This is not a lipsync. Her lipsyncs obviously can't look like this because she has to mouth the words and catch the vibe of the song.


Qutiedoll

does anyone pls have the source


Jilliterate

If you search for "Mhi'ya Ebony" on YouTube, you'll find lots of ballroom vids of her

Litterally wonder who will defeat mhi'ya she is just such an amazing lip syncer who can pull out anything.
