We’re waiting for the return of RuPaul’s Drag Race tonight. Get to know the Season 9 queens before they entered the work room with sickening live performances that put their charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent on full view.
1
Aja
Season 9’s youngest queen turns it out in this energetic lip sync to “Look At Me Now.” Shot last summer at Brooklyn’s This N’That (RIP), this performance proves that Aja’s definitely a force to be reckoned with.
2
Alexis Michelle
This New York native is serving theatrical realness in this lip sync from Feinstein’s/54 Below. The mix features songs from Pippin, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Footloose, proving that Alexis Michelle is certain to bring some cheeky Broadway flair to the main stage.

Eureka O’Hara
O’Hara is a bonafide dancing queen in this electrifying performance from her hometown bar, New Beginners in Johnson City, Tennessee. This video checks all the boxes: big drag hair, a sickening reveal, fierce choreography and a perfectly executed lip sync.
4
Farrah Moan
Tapping into her showgirl roots, Farrah stuns with this fun lip sync of Kylie’s “Get Outta My Way.” The Las Vegas performer had the audience at Micky’s gagging over her ritzy eleganza, which has us excited to see her looks on the runway.
5
Jaymes Mansfield
Mansfield is a kooky explosion of joy in this lip sync of “I’m Coming Out.” The Wisconsin native is clearly no stranger to thinking outside the box, which will serve her well in the weekly challenges.
6
Kimora Blac
Kimora wows in this steamy rendition of “Sex Shooter” at Micky’s. The Las Vegas queen oozes sex appeal, which is guaranteed to make for some iconic lip syncs on the main stage.
7
Nina Bo’nina Brown
Nina works it out with an impressive take on “Feel Me” At Boscoe’s in Columbus. Not only does she lip sync, but she’s got some serious moves, which we’re hoping she’ll get to show off in a dancing challenge.
8
Peppermint
The New York performer doesn’t lip sync as much as she sings—like she’s doing in this clip, a performance of Madonna’s “Hanky Panky” at Industry.
9
Sasha Velour
Subverting expectations, Sasha gave a surprising performance of “Hopelessly Devoted To You” at Bushwig in 2015. Expect some surprises this season from the artistic queen.
10
Shea Couleé
Shea is pure fire in this lip sync to Nicki Minaj’s “I’m Legit.” Her timing is impeccable, the lips are tight and her dancing could make her a standout this season.
11
Trinity Taylor
Trinity is serving full energy in a sexy performance of Rihanna’s “S&M” at Louisville’s Play dance bar. While she’s known for giving body, she’s got the moves and the mouth to match.
12
Valentina
Decked out in a wedding gown, this L.A. queen is a romantic vision with her performance of “Asi Fue” by Isabel Pantoja. She shows control, grace and a joyful energy that will endear her to judges and fans alike.
RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 9 premieres tonight March 24 at 8/7c on VH1.
