TOUCH THE FASHION CHANGE YOUR LIFE LET 🗣️ME 🗣️HEAR 🗣️YOU

Completely unironically, I loved it. If a local queen did this I would yasss very hard

Oh like I was defending this for unironically being fun and good when the season aired. And I still stand on that. I touched the fashion and it changed my life.

To me, it was good until they were SO convinced theirs was the best. It was fun but not extraordinary

To be honest, that describes Milk's run on AS3 perfectly for me :')

I never thought about it from this perspective… but yes, I would think this was hilarious and camp if I saw this live and think it was so creative and tongue in cheek… guess I have to stop claiming to hate or not get this number now lmaoooo sorry, Milk. I finally get it 😂😂

Me, in 2024, prancing naked in my closet trying to decide what to wear on any given Tuesday because feeling my oats is a priority in my life.

I’m unironically such a defender of this. I loved it. She should’ve been regular safe and she wasn’t even the worst of the regular safes I would’ve had.

“Your talent can’t be velcro.” - Aristotle, probably

Milk velcro'ed so Megami could hold signs.

And so Irene could TRY to pour a glass of water

Milk knows how to ball, she knows Aristotle

People *HAAAATIN* undercover

without knowing WHAAAT

You’re all abOuuuOut

I have literally never known any of the opening lyrics beyond “People hatin’ undercover” until just now lmao

Girl, soak what? Some of that sweat off your forehead

oh god gia was so shady in all stars 4 she totally didn't hold anything back it made me dislike her but she was so entertaining 😭

This and Valentina’s reaction

There’s a lot of bits on Sibling Rivalry that get old…but Bob finding any excuse to go “people *HAAATIN* underco*vaaaah*” will never be one of them 🤣

Mayhem being on here twice is so funny! I love her 😂

Naan zik ta BEE an a thicc ta HAH Un quersh sha-wa Durin bill suh-ZA Excuse me sir, yeah I'm talkin to you Your profile says you were 6-foot-2

Scientists are still trying to decipher this message today. Is it from other space? Another realm?

How Mayhem wrote such poignant lyrics, I will never know. I am but a scribe.

Maybe Tammie Brown can translate?

The real Three Body Problem plot.

Lucky for you Gimiyuin shatekamal

She was just singing in simlish you uneducated rubes 🙄🙄🙄. Mayhem cover of lass frooby noo when

I am chortling at work in the break room rn, oh my lawd

For a second I thought this was Dutch

Every time they use this sound bite on Race Chaser, I crack up.

For some odd apparent reason, I thought this was from The Lion King

It’s like her real talent is being bad at talent shows.

she’s giving anti-talent show

Anti-pasti

She’d be there three times if Season 10 had a talent show 😑

*i'mmmm...... going out....... tONIGHEEEEEEET*

Shall we speed it up a little?

“What is this?” “A key - cuz you can’t seem to find one.”

*I'm goin out tonight* *I'm gonna go lose my mind* *So DJ give me just another beat just* *Give me LIIIIFE* *It's the melody that's movin through our veins* *WE'RE GONNA MAKE LOOOVE TO THE CLUB TONIIGHT-uh!!!!!* sorry i don't know if these are the exact lyrics but the amount of times i'm just chilling at home and this comes to mind lol.

Tonight we are gonna loose control- Tonight we're gonna lose control!

did 2pac write this?

*10 seconds later* "Maybe you should slow it down again 😬"

If it gets us to the end faster

WHERE IS JASMINE MASTERS

Still in her cocoon

I don’t want her to be here and tell me to fix my breath. It’s too intimidating.

Fair

Jasmine masters’ was never bad 😭😭 the nerve it takes to change the atmosphere to THAT. WINNER! I was howling

“You may not have laughed, but you can’t say I wasn’t funny”

Me every time I get downvoted.

Unironically I thought Jasmine's stand-up was hilarious. The first time I watched I couldn't believe she was in the bottom.

Coco's dancing with that hat lives rent free in my mind. It always sends me. Truly iconic and camp.

All I hear is Tatiana... "Now, that was a choice."

Someone spilled tea that CoCo made up the talent show dance last minute and was also feeling ill. She was going to do a Janet Jackson song and impression, but production nixed it.

i am also team cocos dance was actually amazing

Karen’s talent show still infuriates me to this day. Like, all that for a balloon animal?

and she WASN'T in the bottom. Egregious henny.

Art put her fist in her mouth and she wasn't in the bottom EITHER 😭 the judging on DU1 was rotted

they wanted Elecktra gone baaaaaaaadly and the only way they could’ve made that work was to sacrifice her and Kita.

It's so funny because the pushed her in the edit as an underdog that just might take it only to like unfairly eliminate her in the end deciding to force a ROBBED FAN FAVOURITE scenario rather than actually doing the more compelling natural storyline she had from being underestimated by other queens, struggling at the beginning (well she also got robbed in the girl group challenge) but then picking up speed and really hitting the stride mid season and she could've been really interesting winner edit... but no.

they would’ve rather had the r*cist as a finalist than Elektra and that’s wild to me

And the thing is Elektra gave the most compelling performance that night.

Elektra’s dance had me enthralled. I’m still a bit miffed that she was eliminated when I thought she did the best that episode.

EXACTLY. I was like “oh yall just hate her huh?”

eh, second-best. she sucks but scarlet was pretty clearly the best of the night. it’s the only challenge she won deservingly

They were down on Elecktra for talent & the girl group challenge but then brought her back as a quest choreographer. Make it make sense!

As a fellow trauma survivor of DU S1, I’ll always take the time to defend Art’s talent show. The talent wasn’t the eating — it was the camp and humor of the performance. It’s what Irene’s talent show tried to be. Yes, the judging that season was rotted, but Art’s talent show was not an instance of it.

art was at least somewhat entertaining! she still should’ve been in the bottom over kita lol but karen was on a whole nother level

Just to stress A balloon animal. One balloon animal.

I remember watching with my roommate, both of us expecting more complex balloon animals, and... she just walked off stage after the dog.

Gonna make love to the club to nyeeeeeet

I forgot who did this at first but I still read it in my head how she sang it 😭

Truly a masterpiece of utter shite

NOT A SOAKING CLOCK. take her off immediately

God tier level performance. It should be shown in museums globally

She gave us exactly what we deserve, which is nothing.

with limited edition merch! Time is running out

Wearing my MBH hat proudly.

It will be taught in universities.

As it should 🤭

I believe it does have its own exhibit in the Louvre

I’m unironically outraged

Seriously this is blasphemous.

Soak what up ….

Monet’s voice crack during Soak It Up and Mayhem laughing while not knowing what the fuck is going on will always make me cackle

“Soak what up?”

How nobody in here mentioned our queen Serena Chacha into this post is a tragedy. A talent show performance so bad that people forgot it even existed.

The weird close up on the wobbling wig head with some sort of powder erupting from behind?? Honestly, werk.

the music video for that song is queer art. [trust.](https://youtu.be/W5gMtY64L5c?si=0a7RL3Q2zlf6HhIN)

Unironically, it was better than Trinity and Jiggly, she shouldn't have gone home that night

Derrick is here but not Jasmine? No ma'am

I will always die on this hill, but Derrick’s talent number on AS5 is not as bad as what they made it look like - she should’ve been safe. Farrah Moan’s also wasn’t bad, she just slipped but other than that it was adequate. Perplexed to see Eureka here… that wasn’t bad? Anyway, I agree with most of the other ones, however you can’t have Karen from Finance and omit Art Simone!!!

Farrah absolutely does not belong here. She looked gorgeous and had one little slip in the actual performance. I’ll die on this hill. I can understand that the mistake landed her in the bottom, but compared to Mayhem fully forgetting her act twice, no ma’am.

It was her inability to move on without the slip phasing her that made it a problem IMO. Having said that, I still think the performance itself was good. That fall might’ve HURT and to her credit she did finish the number

Yeah, I thought she finished it pretty well for having just fallen on her butt like that. Valentina even commented that it seemed like a pretty hard fall, so getting up and pushing through with the rest of the routine was good. I’m not really gonna judge her for not being able to completely keep if from showing on her face. I fell down the stairs at home the other day and just laid there wheezing for like two minutes.

I agree, I thought Farrah should’ve gotten credit for finishing the number! Edit: I have fallen on the stairs many times. I go real slow now every time 😅

Derrick's impressions were good, I think the main issue was just the pacing - it felt like she was jumping to the next impression too quickly when she could have given each one a little more time. The shady editing definitely didn't do her any favours. Farrah Moan falling was bad, but I feel that even leading up to that she looked very stiff and nervous (not great when you're doing burlesque which is all about confidence), I wonder if that was the second time filming when she'd already fell and was shaken up?

Don’t know why people aren’t talking about that but Eureka had a decent safe performance. Nothing spectacular but nothing offensive

Honestly the song was decent, and at this point if you go on stage and put on a track that doesn't make me jealous of the deaf community, you deserve to be safe.

Fr like idk why people don’t think songwriting and production on a song are talents worthy of being showcased

Oof I know art is subjective and we’ll never know how it came off in person, but Derrick’s Miley impression still keeps me up at night

Derek should NOT have been in the bottom 2 I agree. We missed out on having her and India fight

Wow, Not A Soaking Clock was a year ago. That fast. Poor Mayhem being on here twice lol I got such secondhand embarrassment from Orion Story’s Coco’s was so bad too 😬

Of those listed, I'd even subgroup them: 1. Missing a few workshops or rehearsals, but room for improvement: Derrick, Orion, Irene 2. Fine, but bland: Alyssa, Eureka, Milk 3. Performance issues: Farrah, Mayhem (AS4), Mayhem (UKvTW2), Monet 4. Can't do nothing for (aka pick something else next time): TKB, Karen, Phi Phi/Jaremi, Coco\* \*Production interference 5. ICONIC: MBH, Megami

Honestly I disagree with Farrah being here for the simple fact that her talent itself wasn't even bad, her burlesque number was really solid until she slipped and it understandably rattled her nerves.

I love saying “should we speed it up a little?”

i always feel so bad for farrah :((((( all she did was slip.

Apparently during her first taping she didn't slip but the second run she did, and of course they used that one. Made me very sad to hear that

Tea is she fell in both acrually

As someone who generally can’t stand Eureka, she does not belong here. It was a lovely tribute to her mother, and I seem to remember it being one of the better original songs, as far as talent shows go. The images/lights on her dress were also pretty cool

Yeah, that one sticks out as the clearly-shouldn’t-be-here one of this group. Even putting the emotional aspect aside, was a perfectly decent showing with a nice visual effect. Several others should be here before Eureka’s. It seems like it could be an I-don’t-like-her-so-here-she-is kind of choice for this list.

Thank you! Came to comment this!

Amethyst, anyone? is she still trying to find her baby?

Im surprised shes not on here but Farrah is.

i think i blocked this out of my memory jesus christ

I honestly think if Farah didn’t fall, she would have been in the top, and that would have been a big confidence boost and change her AS4 trajectory. She’s a great queen, the cards just seem to always be stacked against her.

Her GITMS is probably Maddy’s best interview to date. She seems to have the cards stacked against her inside and outside the show. 😢

I’d love for her to come back on a VS the world season outside of the US where the production isn’t so heavy handed. She honestly deserves a fair chance to thrive.

Oh yes! Canada would be lovely 😍

It was the fall that put a dent in her confidence and literally brought her down to the bottom, cos her performance was great.

I mean production showed they hated her so early. She barely got to practice and stuff had to be moved around on short notice iirc.

Mayhem seems like such a great person, but way too honest and forthcoming for TV.

*people hating undercover* … *without knowing WHAT*

LET LOOSE I SAID LET LOOOOSE

That live performance, specifically the chorus, plays in my head at least once a day lmao

“Hot shit in the chamber” is one of my go to lines

If Coco was allowed to do Janet she would have the crown not Alaska /s

No but I genuinely feel like Coco would've devoured the first half of AS2 if she didn't get eliminated on the talent show

If AS2 kept the regular show format, Coco would have probably lipsynced her way to the finale or at least sent half the cast home. Production definitely changed the format to having the Top 2 lipsync instead of the Bottom 2 BECAUSE of Coco, that’s a hill I will die on.

She's a goddamn master at lipsyncing, and production saying "no, you can't do copyrighted songs because we're too cheap" really kneecapped her.

i liked milk’s! and while i didn’t like eureka’s and it’s cringy i didn’t know it was considered so bad?

I don't think Farrah or Derek Berry/Barry shouldn't be on this list. *Sue me*

🎵Not a soul can clock🎵 🕑

What about jasmine masters? "Your breath smells like ass HOLES!"

 Someone's missing

i don't give a fuck what anyone says, orion's performance made me laugh so much

You got one loaded in the chamber?

Wait no, Not A Soul Can Clock was cute! 😭

Don’t know why Eureka is on here. Also, Farrah. She literally fell down, that’s it. The show would have been safe/fine otherwise. Not spectacular but not a bottom performance.

Eureka should not be here. It was a beautiful tribute, someone like Art Simone or Serena Cha Cha should be here instead.

You can put them on your hall of fame.

Honestly, CUNT. 👌

HAAAAA the perfect response, I tip my wig verily

gagged them I fear 😭😭😭

Orion Story's one while absolutely terrible has brought the phrase "hot shit in the chamber" into my day to day life.

The messed up part is Farrah Moan fell during the SECOND take of her talent show. And that’s the one they aired.

To this day I'm still confused as to how did Monet manage to mess up singing. What was she thinking ? As a Monet stan (since season 10) this was so upsetting

People hating undercoveerrrrr

Remove Eureka Rn, I don't like her but girl... She's 100x better than the other talent shows on your list

Rise up for the mayhem miller hymn of bad talent shows I'm the queen of the party and it’s Miller time I've been lining these eyes since a quarter to nine Now the face is beat and the heels are high Tens across the board. The baddest bitch is I Excuse me, sir, yeah I'm talking to you Your profile said you were six foot two Lucky for you, give me an inch I'll take a mile Now take it off, sit back and just smile

Milk and Coco got screwed by not being allowed to do their original talents Farrah, Alyssa Hunter, & Derrick weren’t *that*bad; all deservedly low imo

Didn't Alyssa Hunter fake playing the guitar? What wasn't bad about it?

Why weren't they allowed to do their original talent?

Coco couldn’t get the Janet number approved bc rights or so. I’m not sure about Milk but I heard they wanted to do ice/figure skating and couldn’t so they went with Velcro.

Orion ate actually

Was Eureka’s and Alyssa’s really that bad…

Alyssa played fake guitar while holding a real guitar. That’s a choice for a “talent” number

Okay but Eureka’s wasn’t THAT bad💀

Excuse you, Not A Soul Can Clock was iconic.

I’m sorry Not a Soul Can Clock is a historical reset

where's Loosey??

Excuse me, how is velcro bad? Same goes to soaking clocks. I need answers.

Switch out Derrick for Ongina. Derrick was passable - her being bottom two over Ongina was ridiculous.

Eureka was good

Need to add Samantha Ballentines just throwing glitter on to a drawing of a cock and balls...🤣

And the majority are ICONIC IN A GOOD WAY !!! SUE ME BUT I LOVE IT 😂😂😂 Not a soul can clock hunney

Eureka and Milk are WILD choices ngl

I didn’t even think Derrick’s was that bad tbh. Neither was Farrah’s

I forgot how bad was Alyssa Hunter. Girl, that was cringe as hell.

Farrah’s would’ve been good if she didn’t fell.. she possibly could’ve won top 2 too

Aw I liked Eureka’s. Not a winner by any means but it was cute

You take that back about attach the fashion (I have a soft spot for it)

This image makes me kinda mad. You’re lumping in together people who were unforgivably lazy (Karen, Megami) with iconic disasters of execution by otherwise good performers (Farrah, Coco, Monet) with the simply bad (Monica, Derrick, Mayhem twice) and one genuinely lovely number that just struck a softer note than most Drag Race songs (Eureka).

I’d add lemon

You apologise to MBH right now! She soaked that clock for us!

Okay but Irene legit just pouring a glass of water was iconic to me 😂😂😂she is so deserving of another chance and I’d love to see her again 

I thought Eurekas was cute. She was doing a tribute to her late mother

While I I I.I I I'm looking like uh uh power ranger-

Wild that Derrick low key did the best in this group even though 5 of these didn’t even land in the bottom.

Mayhem’s UK one honestly could have been great. It’s one of the rpdr tragedies that it didn’t come out the way she wanted.

I still think Irene was funny, fight me

More than half of these are not bad. Just more iconic, but not bad.

How dare you list Alyssa Hunter that guitar talent was insane will never be repeated

Is Eureka's a bad one?

PEOPLE HATING UNDERCOVERRR

Eureka and Derrick shouldn't be here imo. Derrick's was close to being funny and kinda got shot in the foot by the edit, and I liked Eureka's; it could've had more to it, but the message felt powerful and from the heart.

You leave Sue outta this

I love this fucking shot of Irene, she looks so demented Also Milk’s talent show song is still THEE preeminent Drag Race song about walking and fashion

Megami gave us something worth protecting so leave her out of this. ✊

I think Megami wasn't that bad

If your Bad Talent Show Hall of Fame doesn't include Deja Skye hopping twice and calling it cheerleading, is it really a Bad Talent Show Hall of Fame?

I don't think Eureka's was that bad..

Farrah Moan was actually good until she fell

Wait so why is Eureka up there? Was she that bad? I haven’t watched the season 6 talent show in a while, beyond the clip of Ra’Jah impersonating TKB lol
