So excited we’re getting back FFOCAL (Fan Favorite Original Coach Adam Levine) 

Princess Poppy (RuPaul's Drag Race Season 15)   I feel like I have been targeting (and failing) with targeting Princess Poppy here, so I might as try to cut her now. Princess Poppy is a 26-year old drag performer from San Francisco, California, who competed on the 15th season of RuPaul's Drag Race. Princess Poppy lasted 3 weeks and made it to 15th place. I don't really remember much about Princess Poppy's run or anything she did that stood out. I know I had her ranked last on my rankings for this season. On the second episode, she performed an original song lip-sync and puppetry. I give her props for performing/lip syncing an original song + doing another talent with that, cause yeah I feel like using just lip syncing as a talent is too easy for the queens unless they do something major with it (like Anetra did). Princess Poppy did well enough to be safe. Then on the     "All Queens Go to Heaven" episode, the queens had to perform and produce an informercial  that envisioned their afterlife. Princess Poppy was in Amethyst's group (alongside with  Loosey LaDuca, Aura Mayari, Spice).  And yeah, I can't remember Princess Poppy's performancne here at all, lol. But she didn't do well enough as she landed in the Bottom 2 against Amethyst. They performed their lip sync to Diana Ross' "Ain't No Mountain High Enough (Eric Kupper Remix)," in which Amethyst won and Princess Poppy lost and that ended her time on Drag Race. I think I was preferring Poppy's performance at first but then she got too comedic/silly with the song, where it didn't work for me? I was fine with this elimination, though I would have been fine with either queen going. Hmm maybe we'll see Princess Poppy on a future All-Stars season. I'm not jumping out of my seat for it but wouldn't be against seeing her ru-demp her chances on that. I'll post her lip sync battle performance below.   Saving: Marco Donatelli
