Sharon's dad is SO GROSS. I suspect producers talked to him before the second day, thus the apology and the major reduction in grossness.

But I really want to talk about the lip sync. This lip sync. Phew. I feel like some theater person could write an essay about the lip sync. The contrast between the look, size, and movement of the two people on stage and how that makes the powerful performance more powerful and the weaker one weaker. The way that someone can express a huge range of emotion while barely moving, and the way someone can express a huge range of movement while barely emoting. The fact that the actual trans woman completely fails to connect with a song about being a woman, while a (to my knowledge) cis man does. The fact that Latrice manages to take a pregnancy belly, which would be a huge liability in any other lip sync (cf Acid Betty) and turns it into a goddamn asset. This is my favorite LSFYL by a wide margin.

I have a hard time rewatching this episode because of how gross Sharon's partner acts, and I usually love the makeover episodes.
