Apart from the lip-pointing, Coco benefited from her outfit at that time. She had these long hanging sleeves and she was smart because she made use of them. The way she did spin her sleeves was so beautiful and dramatic, compared to Alyssa's spin-in-the-air-then-split. We've seen too many splits on LSFYL already, and what Coco did was somewhat "new". Did anyone notice Ru turned to Michelle and exclaimed "Wow" at the end of the lipsync? Perhaps it was a reference for the energies of both queens during the battle, or perhaps it was referred to Coco.

But well, honestly, I'm not really that into Coco as well, anymore (I mean I liked her in the beginning, but I kinda hate her now), but IMO if one did something spectacular then one did something spectacular. And that gotta earn respect. However, no worries, my guess is Coco's days are already numbered on the show that she's gonna sashay away even before we start counting.
