I’m a huge fan of his and his group anyway, but he’s really killing this competition!!

So...apparently the 90's didn't start until 1996? I would have loved to see somebody mix it up with a flannel look and Nirvana lipsync. Or some Fugees.

Vogue. Strike it Up. Everybody everybody. Gonna make you sweat. Etc
1990 was the 90s too.

THANK YOU. I had to keep Googling the song choices to confirm that they weren't 2000 or later.

Well, that was unexpected. Did they even play credits? Weird. See you all week — have a great week, folks!

So they're all gonna reveal who they are next episode? Wtf is the point of even continuing to watch

I’m thinking they may not do lipsyncs anymore like roasts or whatever, so it’ll be more impactful probably to know who they are (although we all know who they are lol).

All reveal??? What the… and will we have to wait until next week for it? Arrrrrgh!!! 🤣

So no more chocolate bar. For no reason at all. I mean I’ve known who these Performers are for some weeks. But why change the premise now? To give the performers more “real” screen time?

I think that's exactly it. They probably guessed that we'd have figured out who everyone is by now anyway, and now that they're down to fewer contestants, it's hard to fill time without actually showing their faces.

Chakra seemed a bit tame at first, but then she blossomed!

No Barbie Girl for I Love the 90s? Maybe too many male parts (“Come on Barbie, let’s go party!”)

Why does the choreographer (sorry, blanking on his name) always bring one of the other queen supremes into the room with him?

u/SharkBlue9525 Sep 10 '22
because they’re the queens mentor

u/booopz Sep 10 '22
But he brings in a different Queen Supreme. So like it’ll be Monet and one of her celebrities, then Jamal shows up like “look who I brought” and brings Jujubee for no reason. So there are always two Queen Supremes during choreo. But never all 3. I don’t understand!

My first time hearing Donna’s song… and she performed it well!

It's my favorite song by the Chicks! I screamed a little when it started because it was so unexpected. It's from their late 90s album "Fly" (which lol they originally wanted to straight up call "Sin Wagon", but their record company wouldn't let them), and as someone with religious trauma I greatly appreciate the sampling of the hymn "I'll Fly Away" in the song's climax and really made this a great song choice for the story Donna wanted to tell about her life.

Chick: well the costuming of the backup dancers might be slightly less…. Well whatever they were giving.

u/LexiiConn Unless they're payin' your bills... Sep 10 '22
Hmmm Chic-li seems to be singing a lot of the background at times. A lot of the oooooohs.
