Even though Jewel didn't win, her final lip-synch performance in the season 17 finale of RuPaul's Drag Race left viewers in complete awe. As she competed for the title of America's Next Drag Superstar, she gave a performance that left the judges speechless and the audience in a frenzy, full of unadulterated passion, impeccable choreography, and intense intensity.
From elegant fashion moments to campy, dramatic presentations, Jewel continuously demonstrated versatility on the runway throughout the season. She won accolades for her wit and character development after dominating comedy challenges and leaving her imprint in the Snatch Game.
Despite finishing last once, she recovered with an unforgettable performance that showed everyone how talented she is. Her performance history demonstrated that she was a well-rounded queen who could compete in every situation and was not just a lip-synch assassin.
Her stage presence and unquestionable star power made her the "next in line," and many fans online couldn't stop comparing her to the great Sasha Colby. Many even thought she should have been crowned instead of Onya.
An admirer of RuPaul's Drag Race shared,
"Mark my words, Jewels is the next Sasha Colby!!! Soooooo much talent! Still can’t get over the final lip sync."
"Jewels had the best solo number (by far) and did the best in the lip sync. Onya did the best during the season and deserves the crown," another comment on Reddit read.
Another fan wrote,
"sigh...Jewels won my vote the minute she said she wanted to win to represent our people (😭), but Onya did consistently slay all season. Onya's win was well deserved. But I will continue to stan MU / TH / UR hard."
More fans praised Jewels for winning hearts after her final performance on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17.
A person expressed on Reddit,
"And if the winner was decided based on that final lipsync, it would've been Jewels."
"Jewels ate up Onya during the lipsync as well. Onya had some really simple, unflattering and frankly boring choreo. Jewels gave it all. My partner and I were watching and we were both like, dang. This is going to be Jewels for sure." Shared another netizen.
