Jinkx isn’t the only one who received some help. Everyone does. It may seem like the lip sync battle is sprung on the contestants with no preparation, but each queen gets an iPod with all the possible lip-sync songs. A day or two before the filming of an episode, they are told which song will be used.
You can usually see the queens listening to the iPods in the workroom to prepare in case they end up in the bottom two. That explains why they can lip-sync flawlessly.
