I found her boring though  Jan gave everything, GiGi gave the same silhouette and did a couple of flips, and then came out as Michelle with no boobs... it may have been a nice Madonna tribute but Jan gave everything AND more than GiGi

You should watch the actual performance, they all slayed hard 

EDIT: This is the performance but with every reference they made

 

Loved seeing this with all the references. I mean, I knew them already but it was great to see in context.

that's a reach 

Jan literally did a Michelle cosplay and that's it she didn't add anything to it. Unlike Gigi who was creative with her choice + added her personality and flair to the look (that's what they look for). As for the performance, I know you're not interested in Madonna whatsoever but If you watch her live performances/ tour from that era you'll realize how great Gigi did. 

Jan is talented as performer that's for sure but that wasn't a 100%

Jan was boring. Yes her dancing was good, yes she has the best voice

But it was a Madonna Challenge

And Gigi WAS Madonna in that moment

I was in shock when i saw Gigi, that was one of the best performances i have ever seen on drag race

All Madonna costumes were given to them by the show, having them fitted for them in rehearsals. Gigi chose this Michelle -

Spoiler

 

- which doesn't discredit the runway theme at all, in fact it honors Michelle Visage's legacy and it was impeccable so I'm not here for ignorant comments about her boobs 'cause that's a different topic.

Jan... besides coming as too desperate and try-hard, she already had the vocals and good energy. But that’s it, that was a safe performance. Just because she can sing doesn’t mean she deserves that win, the entitlement here is huge.

Gigi at rehearsals was struggling but what helped her was that she relied heavily on Madonna’s mannerisms, whereas Jan was being... Simply Jan, focused on how good she sings. So no.

Okay which one is this Jan and Gigi you’re talking about? I don’t watch the show so I wanna judge who I think did better.

I couldn't find anything that had both good audio and video online, but you have this for the performance:

And then you can get the un-pitched audio from the OT. 

For me it was really a tie between Jan and Gigi. I was fine with either one winning. I have to say though, I do think Gigi had better energy in the performance.

Well I agree with the Top 3. But I think Gigi was the best. I don’t know much about Michelle, so judging on Madonna alone. Plus Jan seemed to be super entitled to winning and that alone turned me off.
