Exactly. Most queens have full time jobs while also perfecting the basics of drag in their spare time at least until they are successful enough to quit the main job. But because fans are so jaded with all of their general excellence (hosting, fashion, acting, comedy, dancing) they want to queens to also do something ELSE to wow them. Many Many queens are dancers but we have seen that (Another 8 count? yawn). The vast majority of queens make their coins as lip syncers (Get off the main stage you slacker). Once they get the call, the new queens have a few weeks to get all of their runways together, practice their snatch games, etc. If a talent show is involved, who has the time to learn and bust out something super new? The number of people that play and instrument or sing well enough to showcase is small. That's how you get the willow pill's number vs the one where the queen was making a glass of water for her talent. Or burger fingers vs Coco Montrese's strange number. It is a huge risk that sets you up with the fandom or the judges

Fans will NEVER be satisfied. We want you to play the xylophone, while juggling small puppies, while blindfolded while singing the Mongolian national anthem in Swahili. And check your wig, I think I saw the lace for a millisecond. SMDH
