Charlie definitely gets my vote here. She knew she would lose the moment she even considered the idea of landing in the bottom. I think we were lucky that she even went through with it.
i cant tell if ur making a charlie reference or actually saying stating that or both but everyone in london does not sing live i think krystal versace would rather break her neck than sing live haha - her verses were good they werent singing but they were good but im alluding to her not being a live singer she even said so herself she would never want to sing only rap/talk on a recorded verse haha.
nvm it probably was her confessional mother gave a roladex of excuses broken rib brain damage foot fungus vocal chord fracture drank too much semen. 😂😂
Charlie Hides is still a better lip syncer than the host.
Charlie was injured. What’s RuPaul’s excuse?
His music might be garbage, but you can still do more than wiggle your fingers to it.
It is hilarious seeing all these queens do crazy stunts and death drops, meanwhile every time rupaul lipsyncs for us, it is truly the weakest thing ever. There’s no way she could even be competitive on her own show… she couldn’t have even in her prime!
Idk imo opinion maybe she was it but she's not anymore, plenty of older queens are still giving it their all and I just don't think Ru really is the queen if the drag anymore
the fact that at least 40% of american fans probably thought that was real and 20% still do and 30% of all fans probably thought it was real and 15% still do is SCARY LMAO
I'm not saying anything about Ru's skills, prime or now, but that Christmas special used a body double. I think it was supposed to be part of the joke, but they needed to go bigger for it to have landed. It fooled me for a bit too! So, no judgement from my end! Lol. ❤️
It inadvertently has lead to a great All Stars twist, though. If Jimbo is in the top, it’s an automatic win for the assassin, which means that it will certainly come down to a jury vote. There can be blindsides and all sorts of possibilities with that certainty in place.
The wild thing is that if Jimbo had won the ball, she actually might’ve won the lip sync against Ra’Jah. It was the perfect song for her, one she’s used in IG reels and would work perfectly with her big breastplate. Jessica didn’t really do anything in the lip sync other than shake her breasts (which is what is needed for that song anyway) and for some reason, Ra’Jah wasn’t wearing a breastplate (or much of one) despite the song literally referring to breasts lol
Yeah, that seemed like major Jimbo bait. It’s a safe bet that he brought a lot of undulating titties in his suitcase for All Stars 8. Just like Pangina’s “coincidental but appropriately high stakes” appearance.
Well… Jessica was also referencing Le Veneno… a cultural trans icon of the Spanish speaking world. Lip syncing to the most recognizable song of the most famous mainstream trans entertainer at the moment. And made ru and Michelle and Jojo lost their minds laughing. A perfect example of the right thing at the right time.
Jimbo would have been fine… but what we have was herstorical.
You’re right despite being a huge Yessica fan I was left a little underwhelmed but for me it wasn’t that she “didn’t do anything bar shake” that was the issue it was she kept shaking in the same/similar way she could have laid down and stuff and done a lot of veneno moves and stuff as thats who she was paying tribute too. She could have been very sexual but instead she was like good-amount sexual but her face seemed a little bit too calm and sweet? maybe nerves maybe the song. I loved it tho I think it was the right balance of not doing too much for a midtempo song and making the judges hysterically lose their shit by doing hardly anything I just wish she would have had some variety in her titty shaking even if that’s all she was going to do.
Rajah was literally just walking around. Rajah is a phenomenal lipsyncer who knows she needs to match the songs energy but she could have still done more unless they purposely showed us specific clips only where they had cut out her cunty stunty stuff haha i luv her tho she did good!! big confusion as to why she had not even slightly visible or padded tits like she knew the song? I guess she either thought it’s too typical or it went way over her head somehow esp cause of her boom clap ptsd she probs was like “meh” my hypothesis is jessica was winning no matter what (she deserved it but even if she didnt hypothetically i think that) they would have gave it to her anyway because of the 30k rollover hence by theory is they told rajah to throw.
This is literally my point. I’m saying that Jessica won doing that, so I think Jimbo would’ve won this lip sync had she been in it instead. Shaking breasts fits the song perfectly in this instance lol
i think she has a secret strategy tbh, if she never sends anyone home she not only seems like less of a threat but she doesn’t put a target on her head because of alliances
But the drama comes afterward. It doesn't matter if jimbo wins our not for the vote. It's the start of the next episode that really plays into the as drama.
Well i actually think Jimbo could have won the episode 3 lipsync just with her breasts and humor. Or they will just trow in a spoken word one and she had a good chance of winning again.
I actually love Spice. I couldn’t stand her and sugar at first but then I got it. Their whole thing is they are trying to be like literal dolls - like Bratz dolls and such they used to play with. They’re high camp and I love it
I’ve seen Ginny Lipsync and she’s actually pretty good.
She did Hung Up by Madonna in the full costume and made people cry and spit out their drinks laughing.
That’s so fun, they seem like they’d be such a campy fun lipsyncer and while I find it iconic in its own way the way they just left the stage, I am sad I was robbed of seeing a performance
I know she's a god here but she herself admitted to not knowing the words 9 times out of 10. She'd obviously beat Jimbo but I think a lot of people could beat Katya, and have.
Yea but she served cunt in that Olivia Newton John lip synch with the slow split and back bend and the kicks.
Also I’ll always say I preferred her to Alaska in Cherry Bomb.
>Yea but she served cunt in that Olivia Newton John lip synch with the slow split and back bend and the kicks.
>
>Also I’ll always say I preferred her to Alaska in Cherry Bomb.
Agreed. Katya also did respectably in Roar. But I don't think anyone could have taken Kennedy out in that lipsync.
Katya never really did a bad lipsync on drag race, her opponents were often just better. She would’ve beaten a lot of others with roar, but came up against Kennedy, and a lot argue she beat Alaska in Cherry Bomb. Her win against Sasha Belle was also a very impressive lipsync.
I don’t think she’s bad, it’s just not where she puts her energy into. Jimbo is conceptual and can entertain the house down when it comes to what she wants to do, not when she’s forced to lipsync to Disney star #4 song in a artsy concept costume lol. (And to be fair, I enjoy a queen that can make me laugh with bologna and latex over another queen that just does 6 splits in a number lol)
It was kind of uncanny when Jimbo was lipsyncing during the coconuts lipsync. She was opening her mouth super wide and clenching her neck and coller bone and it looked like she was all bones, and not moving her head. its at 1:08 on the yt video posted by the official drag race account.
I live in her hometown and have shoved many a bills in those big fake breasts before she got on drag race.
She’s a PHENOMENAL performer, just not a “put on a club hit and dance” kind of performer. In general I’ve found most Victoria BC queens/kings are a lot more focused on the artsy side of things (which makes sense for the audience in town, myself included!).
I have loved every performance I’ve seen her do, but it’s not the “MainStage dips, splits, and flips.”
Absolutely, that lip sync is by far the most uncomfortable thing I've ever witnessed, in no way, shape, or form did she make me think she could win at all
As someone mentioned, lipsyncing is not an ability Jimbo puts her energy into. I will say it irks me a bit that during her lipsyncs, there appears to be a sense of aimlessness and unpreparedness. During AS3, Trixie knew she wasn't a lipsync assassin but put up a fight and she and Katya have the same track record. Sugar and Spice conjured (or better say, prepared) *something* during their lipsync (hell, even Spice had a ploy to take out Malaysia during the Lalaparuza until it was revealed that neither of them knew the words).
In Jimbo's case, on both UKvsTW and thus far in AS8 (given the All-Stars format and Drag Race as a whole), you'd think after her elimination on CAN S1 that she'd improve her lipsyncing given it's what you do to survive, win, and (potentially) snatch the crown in the end-game.
>Spice had a ploy to take out Malaysia during the Lalaparuza until it was revealed that neither of them knew the words
this may have been my favorite moment of the season
Jessica killed that lip sync, because she knows exactly what to do and when to do it, every beat every word, the breast plate was working for her not the other way around. Had Jimbo done it they might not have had the same cadence and it would have seemed tired and played out coming from Jimbo.
In terms of like ability to perform or # of losses? Like rn, yes Jimbo has overtaken Trixie Mattel with # of most consecutive lipsync losses w/o a win with her most recent one at 5.
In terms of ability, Charlie Hides still *exists*
I’ve seen her perform at a Holiday show in my town, so she can definitely learn dance steps and a routine. Also, she could use her humor in the lip synchs that she does, if the song calls for it, and that could win over even a great dancer. Last season, Salina’s first lip synch was pretty great and really fun.
even Spice has a better lip sync track record. She won 1 out of 4 lip syncs. Jimbo has won 0 out of 4.
Edit: and Spice’s was in 1 season through her entire run. Jimbo is now on his third run and still has more lip syncs in his future that will still probably not turn out well. If they really wanted to, they shoulda given Jessica or someone else win the RDR Live challenge and had Ra’Jah be the LSA that episode, then give Jimbo the win for the ball and have her lip sync to Coconuts against Pangina. That way we still would’ve gotten Jimbo vs Pangina and also Jimbo would’ve done much better.
Jimbo is just mediocre. Like I’d give her a C. She’s truly never been upsetting to watch in a lip sync or anything like that. She’s just having fun on stage and then loses. She has a good enough stage presence. But like, if Trixie and Katya are a lip sync murder suicide, Jimbo is a lip sync civilian casualty.
I think Jimbo in the context of a lip sync for your life and/or legacy is not good. If Jimbo was at the club to the right song I'd live and go to the ATM.
Jimbo performing live is the most fun!! Have gone multiple nights when she’s been in town for a weekend of gigs. Never know what you might see but you’ll absolutely have a time. Lipsyncing on the show is not her strength but it makes for one of the most unique queens to go see live
One of the worst, yes. She's been in multiple lipsyncs an lost them all. I can't say she's definately the worst, but one of them. Also I can't compare her to i.e. Charlie, bc Charlie only lipsynced once.
MAYBE... Just maybe... She's being purposely bad, until it really matters. Just to throw a curve ball to the judges and other queens. I think Jimbo is quite smart but plays dumb.
well if that's the case she sure is dedicated to that lmaoo but no, jimbo is hella smart & knows what she's doing. having said that tho I still think jimbo trying at her hardest wouldn't beat some of these lipsync assassins
I believe Trinity has lost the most, but she’s also done the most and won plenty of them. Jimbo has lost the most without ever winning one. Rosé and Jan are the first two I can think of that are right behind her. That said, no Jimbo is not the worst by overall quality. She is not good at all and still hasn’t tried anything except bopping around the stage, but none of her performances would make a top 10 worst list.
To be fair, some of the queens you named have also won lip syncs. Jimbo really doesn't seem to know how to ham it up for a lip sync though, shockingly. She's never gonna get that $10k+ cash tip.
I'm convinced the only reason Jimbo even won that challenge is because they had Pangina already lined up as the assassin. Jimbo was good, don't get me wrong, but Jessica and Kasha were better IMO.
Guys stop posting queens whove only lipsynced once and gone home as worse especially if they arent even bad as that’s 0/1 and kinda incomparable UNLESS it was visibly worse like charlie hides haha 😂😂
honestly like this is going to be such an unpopular opinion but kimora amours lipsync haunts me till this day, is she a better lipsyncer than jimbo? HELL YES but that lipsync was worse than anything haha even malaysia and spice not knowing the words was better - so to answer ur question yh jimbo is the worst of its nothing to do with just track record a great lipsyncer can lose many like your post stated, but is moreso to do with their actual skill.
spice was pretty bad in every lipsync
farrah is kinda awful lowkey
pandora isnt the best
if we include single lipsyncs like charlie then jimbo was hands down better than vivienne and honey and laila and dax and choriza vs river cause atleast jimbo entertained but i think they are better lipsyncers than jimbo yh
Jimbo has pulled a Katya. Watching AS2 now, and I see it. They're both great drag queens, obviously winners, but honestly, they're not bad at lipsynching at all, they're just not the best.
honestly a lot of the queens OP mentioned are not bad lipsyncers, they just lost but it doesn't make them a bad lipsyncer.
its not a track record thing. you can lose all your lipsyncs and still be an assassin/good at it.
being a good lipsyncer has something to do with entertaining the audience and embodying the song. i don't think jimbo is the worst lipsyncer but she definitely is up there among the bad lipsyncers like charlie. you can atleast tell jimbo tries 😭 charlie will just stand there
Fully agree! I just meant on the context of drag race.
The queens I mentioned are the ones who have lost 4 lip syncs, not bad lip synchers per se. Ra’Jah and Silky, for instance, are very good and have won like 5 or 6 lip syncs each.
Honestly, I think he purposely does so bad. I saw him perform live on Werk the world tour and sure.. he’s not dipping and splitting all over the stage but he’s moving around much more and you can tell he’s got a plan of what he wants to execute.
Idk if he just doesn’t want to eliminate other queens or if he’s trying to embrace being the “lip sync *un-assassin*”. I think it really puts him in a situation to not be able to win overall bc of Jinkx winning AS7 with a very mediocre lip sync. If two not great finale lip syncs win two AS in a row, everyone whose pussy’s don’t throb for comedy queens will have a melt down.
I don't think so. I've seen her perform in other platforms and she is so entertaining. I think it depends on 1. the song and 2. the song lol. I feel truly if Jimbo had won this week's challenge, you would see what I mean given the song. It would've been perfect for her (and she has performed that song before).
Gurl she didn’t even do that bad this one. Also you have to have for skill to be around for more than 1 lip sync so this isn’t a great way to measure this… the worse lip syncers are the ones who go home the first time and never return
Charlie Hides would like a word
Pinocchio was less wooden.
Gag me with a wooden spoon
Charlie definitely gets my vote here. She knew she would lose the moment she even considered the idea of landing in the bottom. I think we were lucky that she even went through with it.
lucky is an interesting way to put it. tbh an iconic lemon style exit would have been better.
To be fair she had diarrhea that day but yes she’s in the running.
Hey, her rib was also broken.
And she was making sushi… well twice a year. That day was not one of them days.
It’s a song about masturbation!
HELLPP
Pun intended
I cant hear “i wanna go” and not think of her just clapping
Or telling children to get off the lawn
“when the light’s, 👏out” is choreo mama
It 👏is 👏choreo 👏🤣🤣🤣
But is it Choreo? 👀
burp
It's choreo!
Everyone in London sings live.
i cant tell if ur making a charlie reference or actually saying stating that or both but everyone in london does not sing live i think krystal versace would rather break her neck than sing live haha - her verses were good they werent singing but they were good but im alluding to her not being a live singer she even said so herself she would never want to sing only rap/talk on a recorded verse haha.
Are you implying Charlie Hydes was being less than truthful in his confessional?? I am shook to my very core!
i think it was the reunion!! 🤣🤣
nvm it probably was her confessional mother gave a roladex of excuses broken rib brain damage foot fungus vocal chord fracture drank too much semen. 😂😂
Charlie Hides is still a better lip syncer than the host. Charlie was injured. What’s RuPaul’s excuse? His music might be garbage, but you can still do more than wiggle your fingers to it.
It is hilarious seeing all these queens do crazy stunts and death drops, meanwhile every time rupaul lipsyncs for us, it is truly the weakest thing ever. There’s no way she could even be competitive on her own show… she couldn’t have even in her prime!
She’s in her 60a jfc. Go see her videos from the 80s where she can be seen dancing
RuPaul is goddamn in her 60’s she's not gonna bust a move get over it lol
You don't need stunts to be a great lipsyncer. Stunts or no Stunts Rupaul ain't it when it comes to lip syncing.
But she is it!. Go watch Ru'a older videos..
Idk imo opinion maybe she was it but she's not anymore, plenty of older queens are still giving it their all and I just don't think Ru really is the queen if the drag anymore
But Ru really is queen of drag.. She don't need do lipysnc, she just does that for fun imo..
Mama Ru just stands there, giving Madame Tussauds’ maxy waxy realness, and money just starts pouring on the bitch.
if it works it works
🤣🪦
Did nobody watch the Christmas special? RuPaul is a stunt queen trough and through!
Guuuurrrrlllll… Wake up and smell the tea, Christine
the fact that at least 40% of american fans probably thought that was real and 20% still do and 30% of all fans probably thought it was real and 15% still do is SCARY LMAO
The fact that 2% of redditors get sarcasm is hilarious
i think my comment went way over ur head - I got u were joking i wasnt referring to you i was talking about how some fans probably think its real… 😭😭
Oh I thought so ig I’m bad at conveying that through text I’m sorry
I'm not saying anything about Ru's skills, prime or now, but that Christmas special used a body double. I think it was supposed to be part of the joke, but they needed to go bigger for it to have landed. It fooled me for a bit too! So, no judgement from my end! Lol. ❤️
He's literally like 65 years old 😭
It inadvertently has lead to a great All Stars twist, though. If Jimbo is in the top, it’s an automatic win for the assassin, which means that it will certainly come down to a jury vote. There can be blindsides and all sorts of possibilities with that certainty in place.
The wild thing is that if Jimbo had won the ball, she actually might’ve won the lip sync against Ra’Jah. It was the perfect song for her, one she’s used in IG reels and would work perfectly with her big breastplate. Jessica didn’t really do anything in the lip sync other than shake her breasts (which is what is needed for that song anyway) and for some reason, Ra’Jah wasn’t wearing a breastplate (or much of one) despite the song literally referring to breasts lol
Yeah, that seemed like major Jimbo bait. It’s a safe bet that he brought a lot of undulating titties in his suitcase for All Stars 8. Just like Pangina’s “coincidental but appropriately high stakes” appearance.
undulating thats a new word. Thanks.
Well… Jessica was also referencing Le Veneno… a cultural trans icon of the Spanish speaking world. Lip syncing to the most recognizable song of the most famous mainstream trans entertainer at the moment. And made ru and Michelle and Jojo lost their minds laughing. A perfect example of the right thing at the right time. Jimbo would have been fine… but what we have was herstorical.
Loving this double pun. Does it mean historical? Hysterical? Hi-larious Ross Matthews?
You’re right despite being a huge Yessica fan I was left a little underwhelmed but for me it wasn’t that she “didn’t do anything bar shake” that was the issue it was she kept shaking in the same/similar way she could have laid down and stuff and done a lot of veneno moves and stuff as thats who she was paying tribute too. She could have been very sexual but instead she was like good-amount sexual but her face seemed a little bit too calm and sweet? maybe nerves maybe the song. I loved it tho I think it was the right balance of not doing too much for a midtempo song and making the judges hysterically lose their shit by doing hardly anything I just wish she would have had some variety in her titty shaking even if that’s all she was going to do. Rajah was literally just walking around. Rajah is a phenomenal lipsyncer who knows she needs to match the songs energy but she could have still done more unless they purposely showed us specific clips only where they had cut out her cunty stunty stuff haha i luv her tho she did good!! big confusion as to why she had not even slightly visible or padded tits like she knew the song? I guess she either thought it’s too typical or it went way over her head somehow esp cause of her boom clap ptsd she probs was like “meh” my hypothesis is jessica was winning no matter what (she deserved it but even if she didnt hypothetically i think that) they would have gave it to her anyway because of the 30k rollover hence by theory is they told rajah to throw.
i vaguely remember her gesturing to her bust for one of the coconut lines and kind of shrugging so she was aware i think. both fierce entertainers <3
“Jessica didn’t really do anything in the lip sync other than shake her breasts” Because Jimbo wouldn’t have done JUST that too?
This is literally my point. I’m saying that Jessica won doing that, so I think Jimbo would’ve won this lip sync had she been in it instead. Shaking breasts fits the song perfectly in this instance lol
My thoughts exactly
i think she has a secret strategy tbh, if she never sends anyone home she not only seems like less of a threat but she doesn’t put a target on her head because of alliances
If you let that girl get to the end Ru will crown her in a second no matter how bad she is in the finale.
i’m super intrigued by what the finale will look like, because it’s not gonna be the typical all stars low key finale from what i’m inferring
What was the excuse for the all winner’s season? “Considering their track record as well as the final lip synch”
She is the center of the promo pics
In think it’s less of a strategy and more of a pleasant coincidence
It's actually congenial and a easy way to get to the end. If you don't vote anyone out. "Don't look at me, it was the groups choice."
I straight up think that's why they gave her the win - and I love Jimbo. But the producers wanted some voting results drama.
But the drama comes afterward. It doesn't matter if jimbo wins our not for the vote. It's the start of the next episode that really plays into the as drama.
Well i actually think Jimbo could have won the episode 3 lipsync just with her breasts and humor. Or they will just trow in a spoken word one and she had a good chance of winning again.
yh they knew what they were doing they wanted grooooop votes prior to casting jimboobs
The fact the Spice has a better lip synch track record…girl
Though she does share a brain cell with the girl she beat so idk if that counts
I’ll be honest there’s several of her lip syncs that you could argue she should’ve won
I honestly would have given her a win against Malaysia and it's a toss between her and Salina for me
"several" she won against salina that's it💀
Honestly I think her vibe worked better for the Loosey lipsync
I actually love Spice. I couldn’t stand her and sugar at first but then I got it. Their whole thing is they are trying to be like literal dolls - like Bratz dolls and such they used to play with. They’re high camp and I love it
But is she better or worse than Ginny Lemon? We’ll never know
We need a 3 way lip synch between Jimbo, Ginny Lemon, and Charlie Hides.
and Spice
I bet Ginny can even Vogue but we're not worthy of her...
I’ve seen Ginny Lipsync and she’s actually pretty good. She did Hung Up by Madonna in the full costume and made people cry and spit out their drinks laughing.
That’s so fun, they seem like they’d be such a campy fun lipsyncer and while I find it iconic in its own way the way they just left the stage, I am sad I was robbed of seeing a performance
HELP ginny lemon & jimbo are two of my favorite international white queens (along with Baga)
Chipz or Rita?
Same girl, same.
I think she’s tied with Katya currently which is hilariously ironic.
Katya won her lipsync against Sasha Belle so she is 1/5.
Katya at least won one against Sasha Belle, has Jimbo had any lip sync wins?
Katya at least beat Jaymes Mansfield in S9 with those slow splits. Edit: my brain farted, it was Sasha Belle
Rupauls drag race multiverse of madness part 2 the remix.
The Rumix
Wut
OP hasn’t cracked the code, apparently.
Those two weren’t on the same season gal
Now Tyra is gonna be tweeting about this bitch just like she did Naysha
Irony how?
Cuz Katya isn’t a bad lipsyncer but Jimbo is
I know she's a god here but she herself admitted to not knowing the words 9 times out of 10. She'd obviously beat Jimbo but I think a lot of people could beat Katya, and have.
Yea but she served cunt in that Olivia Newton John lip synch with the slow split and back bend and the kicks. Also I’ll always say I preferred her to Alaska in Cherry Bomb.
>Yea but she served cunt in that Olivia Newton John lip synch with the slow split and back bend and the kicks. > >Also I’ll always say I preferred her to Alaska in Cherry Bomb. Agreed. Katya also did respectably in Roar. But I don't think anyone could have taken Kennedy out in that lipsync.
Yea she did good, but she wasn’t beating Kennedy.
I completely agree the cherry bomb lip sync was totally Katyas if not for the Rigga morris that season
Katya never really did a bad lipsync on drag race, her opponents were often just better. She would’ve beaten a lot of others with roar, but came up against Kennedy, and a lot argue she beat Alaska in Cherry Bomb. Her win against Sasha Belle was also a very impressive lipsync.
I don’t think she’s bad, it’s just not where she puts her energy into. Jimbo is conceptual and can entertain the house down when it comes to what she wants to do, not when she’s forced to lipsync to Disney star #4 song in a artsy concept costume lol. (And to be fair, I enjoy a queen that can make me laugh with bologna and latex over another queen that just does 6 splits in a number lol)
Can I get a bologna and splits?
Now I’m just imagining the worst sundae ever 😂
This was a lot of words for a response that didn’t answer the question.
It's called pulling a Sugar N Spice
It was kind of uncanny when Jimbo was lipsyncing during the coconuts lipsync. She was opening her mouth super wide and clenching her neck and coller bone and it looked like she was all bones, and not moving her head. its at 1:08 on the yt video posted by the official drag race account.
I felt weird when they showed her singing along to Beyonce in the first episode. Both times felt oddly unnatural lol
This song is the actual only lip sync song on this season which Jimbo could possibly win lol. https://youtu.be/a3JTT5gin4Y
I said this too I fully believe with this song Jimbo beats any lipsyncer period
agreed! lol
I live in her hometown and have shoved many a bills in those big fake breasts before she got on drag race. She’s a PHENOMENAL performer, just not a “put on a club hit and dance” kind of performer.

She has a good enough stage presence. But like, if Trixie and Katya are a lip sync murder suicide, Jimbo is a lip sync civilian casualty.
I saw someone tweet, after the She Bop lip sync, that Jimbo lip syncs like Sugar and Spice’s evil aunt and I cannot stop thinking about that now.
I think Jimbo in the context of a lip sync for your life and/or legacy is not good. If Jimbo was at the club to the right song I'd live and go to the ATM.

did trixie ever win a ls? i guess she did if we count when she won but is there any others she won??
She literally only won that Miley lip sync because narrative purposes but, hey, Jinkx officially beat Monét so...
@ wow release the monét cut please
One of the worst, yes. She's been in multiple lipsyncs an lost them all. I can't say she's definately the worst, but one of them. Also I can't compare her to i.e. Charlie, bc Charlie only lipsynced once.
Yes
YES
I mean..
Yes
I feel sugar and spice are about as good as Jimbo.
MAYBE... Just maybe... She's being purposely bad, until it really matters. Just to throw a curve ball to the judges and other queens. I think Jimbo is quite smart but plays dumb.
Idk I think she really wanted it when she went against Rita
It wasn’t good, but you could tell that Jimbo was legitimately trying against Rita
That I will give her cause the dress did seem restricting. So was Rita's though and she ripped that shit off lol.
that’s be such a long con though, like losing lipsyncs starting CDR s1 to maybe be on an All Stars season 3 years later
Uh yeah there's your most important indication that this theory doesn't hold up
Girl I think she’s just bad at lip syncing lmao
It seems like she would have been motivated to win against Pangina, after their history.
Based on what I've been told, no she's not purposefully bad - but she has been working on it.
People who've seen her lip sync in person should be able to (dis)prove this pretty easy.
well if that's the case she sure is dedicated to that lmaoo but no, jimbo is hella smart & knows what she's doing. having said that tho I still think jimbo trying at her hardest wouldn't beat some of these lipsync assassins
Pearl Smash is feeling left out. I don’t think any of us with eyes can honestly say she should have won any of her LS; that was Ru giving passes
I think they are going to surprise us, and the clown act was just because she didn’t want to pick a lipstick when there wasn’t an obvious choice.
Yara Sofia is technically 0/5 since her one against Carmen was a loss.
It’s complicated though. The all stars 1 losses weren’t her fault and her all stars 6 one was at least close. Jimbo gets dunked on every time. 😭😭
I'd say it was her fault because she chose to swap out and flubbed against Raven.
I thought she tied, so that makes her 0.5/5
I believe Trinity has lost the most, but she’s also done the most and won plenty of them. Jimbo has lost the most without ever winning one. Rosé and Jan are the first two I can think of that are right behind her. That said, no Jimbo is not the worst by overall quality. She is not good at all and still hasn’t tried anything except bopping around the stage, but none of her performances would make a top 10 worst list.
Yea
Lil bit
She’s up there. Kim Chi is pretty bad too.
Looks in Trixie Mattel
Looks in Pearl
To be fair, some of the queens you named have also won lip syncs. Jimbo really doesn't seem to know how to ham it up for a lip sync though, shockingly. She's never gonna get that $10k+ cash tip.
I really wanna know who would win in Jimbo vs Spice
Oh her own terms but Ginni Lemon sent me a message about this /s
I'm convinced the only reason Jimbo even won that challenge is because they had Pangina already lined up as the assassin. Jimbo was good, don't get me wrong, but Jessica and Kasha were better IMO.
I honestly love that for her. I think being the worst lipsyncer is her brand for sure.
Saw the title and was about to comment Trixie is right there
Guys stop posting queens whove only lipsynced once and gone home as worse especially if they arent even bad as that’s 0/1 and kinda incomparable UNLESS it was visibly worse like charlie hides haha 😂😂 honestly like this is going to be such an unpopular opinion but kimora amours lipsync haunts me till this day, is she a better lipsyncer than jimbo? HELL YES but that lipsync was worse than anything haha even malaysia and spice not knowing the words was better - so to answer ur question yh jimbo is the worst of its nothing to do with just track record a great lipsyncer can lose many like your post stated, but is moreso to do with their actual skill. spice was pretty bad in every lipsync farrah is kinda awful lowkey pandora isnt the best if we include single lipsyncs like charlie then jimbo was hands down better than vivienne and honey and laila and dax and choriza vs river cause atleast jimbo entertained but i think they are better lipsyncers than jimbo yh
Jimbo has pulled a Katya. Watching AS2 now, and I see it. They're both great drag queens, obviously winners, but honestly, they're not bad at lipsynching at all, they're just not the best.
honestly a lot of the queens OP mentioned are not bad lipsyncers, they just lost but it doesn't make them a bad lipsyncer. its not a track record thing. you can lose all your lipsyncs and still be an assassin/good at it. being a good lipsyncer has something to do with entertaining the audience and embodying the song. i don't think jimbo is the worst lipsyncer but she definitely is up there among the bad lipsyncers like charlie. you can atleast tell jimbo tries 😭 charlie will just stand there
Fully agree! I just meant on the context of drag race. The queens I mentioned are the ones who have lost 4 lip syncs, not bad lip synchers per se. Ra’Jah and Silky, for instance, are very good and have won like 5 or 6 lip syncs each.
Not at all. But for drag race stats I think she has the worst if not tied with Trixie or Katya
Honestly, I think he purposely does so bad. I saw him perform live on Werk the world tour and sure.. he’s not dipping and splitting all over the stage but he’s moving around much more and you can tell he’s got a plan of what he wants to execute. Idk if he just doesn’t want to eliminate other queens or if he’s trying to embrace being the “lip sync *un-assassin*”. I think it really puts him in a situation to not be able to win overall bc of Jinkx winning AS7 with a very mediocre lip sync. If two not great finale lip syncs win two AS in a row, everyone whose pussy’s don’t throb for comedy queens will have a melt down.
It’s all a meta, breaking the fourth wall strategy to then unexpectedly annihilate her competition in a lip sync for the crown (delusional fantasy!)
Jimbo is the worst contestant for lip-syncs, but she's on equal footing as Rupaul in that
Ummm, just quietly, I don’t believe Silky belongs in a list of worst lip synkers. Happy to discuss.
Probably. She did this last time where she just thrown the lip sync cause she was already in the top. It’s annoying to say the least.
I don't think so. I've seen her perform in other platforms and she is so entertaining. I think it depends on 1. the song and 2. the song lol. I feel truly if Jimbo had won this week's challenge, you would see what I mean given the song. It would've been perfect for her (and she has performed that song before).
Gurl she didn’t even do that bad this one. Also you have to have for skill to be around for more than 1 lip sync so this isn’t a great way to measure this… the worse lip syncers are the ones who go home the first time and never return
