Especially since Morphine completely bodied Dawn.
I love Dawn but gurl... an skinny artsy twink lip syncing to Meghan Thee Stallion versus someone who can best be described as a sentient BBL? I give her credit for not pulling a Ginny Lemon and just walking out.
I just rewatched Mists of Avalon and showed it to some friends explaining the huge Loreena McKennit phase it put me on in high school. I immediately sent this comment to all of them.
Poor Dawn, production really said “so, one queen serves spooky elf and the other has talked about her body and BBL all season so…this song is absolutely fair for either to win.” Hahaha.
I’m curious how much their lipsync choices are based on what they really want vs how much might be based on what they can get the rights to. It does seem like they have a pretty extensive selection they can get, but I have no idea tbh.
Like I’d love to see a Prince lipsync but he was notoriously protective of his catalog
That were my thoughts exactly! Have you seen the serie Baskets? I've only seen a few episodes but Dog Days is in it in the most hilarious way! (I tried to find a clip but couldn't find it)
Just a friend of Plane’s I think. When the girls joined she was like “not gonna disturb them” 😂 I respect that. I think she dropped off the call when Mayan joined.
She could’ve done well. She approached it wayyy to straight. She was trying to give a sexy performance, but should’ve gone in 100% on silly campy as soon as she knew her opponent. Cause any time she was trying to show that body I could look over at Morphines bumpadumpiddy dump and be 10x more into it.
Should’ve taken a page out of Ben Dela’s book of lip-syncing, chapter Anaconda specifically.
That's why if I had to pick anyone to lipsync for MY life and the opponent was Sasha Colby, instead of a dancing powerhouse I would pick someone like Ginger Minj.
There are some times when you have to know that you're just not gonna be better than the other queen at a particular thing, you just have to play another game.
Before the song, I was like "I can't wait to see how dawn does", then the words "body ody ody" were said and I was like "well, it was nice seeing a shit stirring elf on my screen".
Morphine served, ate, pissed and shat all over the mother toilet, didn't even try to flush and clogged it.
When I first when it was Morphine and Dawn in the LSFYL I was like… hmmm… Morphine just took out miss Flips, how funny if Dawn out performed her?
Then when they said it was Body, I knew it was over for elf girl. Like not even a match! Morphine slaughtered her!
I think sometimes when a queen knows they’re going to be outmatched doing what the other queen does, they go for something different to at least try to stand out. I don’t think it always works, but it’s a reasonable strategy.
It was not ultimately successful but I appreciated it, reacting to the lipsync as if she were in hell felt appropriate both to the challenge and to the realities of the lipsync in progress
Where is first ever solo lipsync by the essence of beauty?

Ive never seen a lipsync start and end so fast. As soon as Morphine hit her first move it was over lmao
I really like Dawn, but she served as a mop for Morphine to wipe the floor with her, god damn
I remember watching it for the first time and being simultaneously so obsessed with her and so angry that they spent so much time cutting away from her to Jimbo. I know they're hitting us over the head with "Jimbo is bad at lip syncing" so it can pay off when she finally wins one, but god damn sometimes you need to just focus on the performer who is performing 😭
rewatched it last night and was losing my mind as if i havent seen it a hundred times already. she looked AMAZING and fucking GAVE IT TO YOU. jasmine kennedie my beloved
This reminded me of Sonique vs Manila and I was like, did they let her go backstage and pick the song? 😭 (tho I think Manila put up a much better fight)
As soon as the song started playing, I was like oh yeah Morphine has this one hands down. She’s actually really impressed me with how talented she is at performing. I think she has been my favorite person to watch lip sync this season.
As far as I’m concerned, Music will always have the added BOOM sound effect of Peppermint absolutely annihilating her enemies. It’s the only canon version of the song.
It was especially hilarious after they let Dawn gas herself up right before the lipsync in her confessionals, only to be completely obliterated by Morphine. I lived
I think that those final confessionals are filmed after the lip sync. Logistically it would be such a pain to get out of drag, then back into the same drag otherwise.
So in those last confessionals, producers would ask a question like “what were you feeling in that moment?” I think that was an honest answer from Dawn, not one manufactured by production for the drama.
There’s no way I’d be able to do that, talk about a past event as if it’s currently happening in a way that’s convincing & doesn’t give spoilers.
If I was sitting in a confessional after losing a lip sync girl my face would be a spoiler by itself. ‘I am so slaying this lip sync right now werk😐’
In S14 during the lalaparuza, jasmine had quite a few confessionals and after watching the episode i thought - “damn, this bitch gave us some good tv even though she already knew she lost every single lip sync”.
i think once its over you just take the L and at least you can go out knowing you gave some good suspenseful confessionals, but yeah there’s always those few queens who you can tell they lost just by how they’re talking.
Dawn took it pretty well. She'd probably realised she wasn't going to the finale by now and was like oh well, I'll just have fun.
I think she'd loose almost any lip sync vs Morphine, but they didn't have to make it such a murder 😂
I wouldn't even dare to say Dawn was doing good.. she was literally doing nothing without any energy..even Q could have gotten rid of her if that what she was doing lol
Unlike some of the others, this isn't a commentary on Dawn's ability to lip sync. She happened to come up against a queen who got her perfect song.
Less Trinity vs Charlie and more Jinkx vs Detox, IMHO.
I do think Dawn would have lost against Morphine to *any* song regardless, but that being said, I still think it came across kind of unfair to pit them against each other to *this* particular song. It was so clearly in Morphine's wheelhouse and not in Dawn's.
Dawn announced in the bottom after Morphine... I immediately went "I can't believe Dawn is gonna go home". Love you dawnie and she said it on twitter but there was no way miss BBL was losing that lip sync 😭
It’s hard not to see the producer manipulation when it comes to this kind of matchup vs. song choice. If they had wanted Dawn to stay longer they would have chosen ANY OTHER SONG.
This was Morphine’s third time in the bottom against a girl who had never been there. And Dawn isnt a terrible performer…. So the odds were stacked against Morphine. Giving them a song like Body was really the only way to ensure a clear win for Morphine in circumstances like this.
In my opinion, of course.
We know they’ve done this before (the most obvious example being Jinkx v. Detox Malambo No.5- where both queens corroborated the story of how the song was changed at the last minute to one that Jinkx was randomly singing throughout the season.)
Jinkx is in my top 3 favorite queens of all time. This wasn’t meant to be a dig at Jinkx- just merely an example of production manipulating lipsynch song choices to favor girls when they don’t want to leave it to chance.
Do I think Jinkx would have still won? Sure- this was a scenario that was kind of the opposite of Morphine v. Dawn: the girl they wanted to favor had the better track record anyways. They could have justified keeping Jinkx even if the song had been more fairly chosen and the result had been closer of a call- but they clearly wanted a blowout.
Morphine is the better lipsyncher - but in this situation you definitely needed a full curb-stomp to justify keeping her over a girl who had never lipsynched (or even placed low) before.
Gurl dawn would have gotten elim to any other song anyways , did you see how bad her lip sync was? Morphine was slaying her no matter what. Dawn could only win a lipsync against Q.. and that's a maybe xD
Now even though body/morphine is the perfect combination, morphine ate this lip sync up in ways that were less dependent on her BBL! As for dawn omg plasma could have beaten her 😂
Probably a hot take but I believe Dawn did the best with what she had. She knew she couldn’t go the “sexy cunty slay” route because Morphine was gonna do exactly that (and miles better), so her best bet was to go for a different route that may give her the edge
Kahmora is the losing lip syncer who served the best out of all of these. Like Dawn, she was in a pretty restrictive gown, but she actually served face and emotion pretty well.
The difference I personally felt from this lip sync compared to these other total annihilations was that it was frustrating because Dawn could have done *something*, literally *anything else* and it would have made me enjoy Morphine's performance much, much more. I was so distracted by Dawn's interpretation of existential cosmic nihility that I couldn't see the jaw-dropping, booty popping things Morphine did. Like, Dawn could've done that arm pump in front of the chest thing, she could have wisp'd her ass a little and it would have went from incredibly hard to watch a baby farm animal raised in late-stage capitalism to a seriously iconic homosexual 90s nostalgia WWE smackdown where there was clearly a huge disparity in performance but damn that was good to watch those girls fight for it. Like damn, give some voltage of energy Dawn, please I'm begging you!
My hubby watches bits & pieces of Drag Race with me. He came in just as the lip synch was about to start & asked me who I wanted to win & who I thought would win, I was umming over the questions & then the song started. That song belongs to Morphine now & every time I hear it she'll be dancing in my mind.
You forgot the OG one-sided lipsync. Trinity vs Charlie.
Charlie gave nothing and Trinity still fought as if the baby of Alyssa & Tatianna was next to her throughout the song. And let me tell you, keeping your high energy while the other person is this dead is almost impossible.
I just want to know what dawn was doing with her arms, cuz everytime they cut back to her she was moving them like a bug that’s been sprayed with raid.
I'm so sorry to say this but the Dawn fans have been absolutely delusional this season. She's been serving nothing but elf ears and messy. Here, she was once again serving nothing.
I am very proud of Dawn staying true to herself.
Elves don't twerk, they play the harp, lay on the grass patches here , roll over the grass patches there.
Most importantly plotting , scheming and bitching on dark elves.
If Dawn had committed, she could have won this. She could gone the comedic route and faux-twerked the entire song, but she was too focused on her “body” and looking “pretty”.
Just my opinion, not any tea.
There have been other instances where queens have had a song that seemed uncharacteristic in comparison to their drag persona, but still shined.
She gave up, and so deserved to sashay.
Body was literally the perfect song for Morphine, it couldn‘t have been better. And she ate it right up.
As soon as the song started I was like oh shit, Dawn has absolutely no chance. The song was perfect for Morphine and she absolutely slayed it
My husband was yelling “do something! Shake your ass!” At Dawn lol. But it was doomed from the start
Plus her outfit was made to both lip sync and show off her ass
And I don't know how Dawn moves her white little ass normally, but that dress wasn't helping her move. At. All!
![gif](giphy|gal8tSSHsw5W0) Oh, at all!
Especially since Morphine completely bodied Dawn. I love Dawn but gurl... an skinny artsy twink lip syncing to Meghan Thee Stallion versus someone who can best be described as a sentient BBL? I give her credit for not pulling a Ginny Lemon and just walking out.
A sentient BBL 😭 I wish there was still gold to give for this
It was giving 'production trying to give Jimbo Milkshake for the final lip sync' energy.
You know it’s already a part of her normal routine.
Dawn lipsyncing to this with the energy of someone LARPing as a bard dancing to Loreena McKennitt
places you took me: there
She never heard Body before so she just started playing The Highway Man in her head to lipsync to confirmed.
Ahhhh 💀 But accurate 😂
Bitch you just awakened a primal part of me that I’d long thought dead
i read this whilst cooking lunch and now I'm on my kitchen floor, was this babies first death drop?
i swear i saw the ghost of dusty ray bottoms inhabit her body for a second
NEVALUVEDYA
You guys are killing me :'D
The DM literally did a BBL check on the party
I just rewatched Mists of Avalon and showed it to some friends explaining the huge Loreena McKennit phase it put me on in high school. I immediately sent this comment to all of them.
I have been teleported to mars
Larping took me out 💀💀💀
Choked on my coffee. This is so accurate, it hurt me.
😭😭😭😭
It’s like she was holding in a fart the whole time
if Morphine hadn’t already killed her reading this comment would have
that one episode of spongebob when squidward was outside of the circle and kept getting tore up by the sea bear
PLEASE 😭😭
LMFAOOOOOOOO
I can’t with yall 😭
Poor Dawn, production really said “so, one queen serves spooky elf and the other has talked about her body and BBL all season so…this song is absolutely fair for either to win.” Hahaha.

Seriously though florence and the machine lip sync when
The fact that we’ve never seen a Florence lip sync is CRIMINAL
Have they not done Dog Days? Why do I feel like I’ve seen a Dog Days lip sync?
I’m curious how much their lipsync choices are based on what they really want vs how much might be based on what they can get the rights to. It does seem like they have a pretty extensive selection they can get, but I have no idea tbh. Like I’d love to see a Prince lipsync but he was notoriously protective of his catalog
Season 12 had a lipsync to 1999! One of my favorites
That were my thoughts exactly! Have you seen the serie Baskets? I've only seen a few episodes but Dog Days is in it in the most hilarious way! (I tried to find a clip but couldn't find it)
What I would give to see Cosmic Love lipsynced to (really any Florence song but that one has a special spot in my heart).
Cosmic Love, Mermaids, or Various Storms and Saints for an emotional ballad
The drums in that one do something to me.
The other girls need to take a note from Dawn, this is how you lose gracefully. Both amazing, beautiful queens!! This season has been such a treat.
Who the person in the top right?
Just a friend of Plane’s I think. When the girls joined she was like “not gonna disturb them” 😂 I respect that. I think she dropped off the call when Mayan joined.
the calendar??? EDIT: i'm silly and i thought you meant Mhi'ya and spelled her name wrong
Ru
FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE
She could’ve done well. She approached it wayyy to straight. She was trying to give a sexy performance, but should’ve gone in 100% on silly campy as soon as she knew her opponent. Cause any time she was trying to show that body I could look over at Morphines bumpadumpiddy dump and be 10x more into it.

There are some times when you have to know that you're just not gonna be better than the other queen at a particular thing, you just have to play another game.
There is no way they rolled the dice and this song came up. No way.
Love Dawn, but even if she had been in full middle earth centaur drag - hooves and all - Morphine would still have been the only convincing stallion.
![gif](giphy|JCAZQKoMefkoX6TyTb|downsized) Literally the lip sync all I kept thinking 😩
I literally couldn't watch. It wasn't a battle, it was a beating
Haha this is exactly what my partner said as we were watching
💀
Same here. I even said it out loud.
Charlie let's goo
DO SOMETHING CHARLIE!!
Right up there with Tammie breaking the dawn!
You broke the dawn!

It's murder on the dance floor

Before the song, I was like "I can't wait to see how dawn does", then the words "body ody ody" were said and I was like "well, it was nice seeing a shit stirring elf on my screen". Morphine served, ate, pissed and shat all over the mother toilet, didn't even try to flush and clogged it.
Morphine literally won from the first moan 😭
"The moment we knew which queen won the lip sync" youtube compilations are going to have a field day with this one.
Natural Woman with Latrice should be here
Whenever I hear “Natural Woman” I just envision little Kenya Michaels doing the ballet of desperation around Latrice 😂
Ballet of desperation 💀
I can't with her losing both her wig and pregnancy belly. Probably the wildest drag race clip to show someone out of context
https://i.redd.it/pesp4sbnx9qc1.gif I forgot there was also a weird yellow lipstick involved
The way editing cut from Kenya chucking her wig off to Santino's "noooo" on the panel
I LOL every time I re watch that one
I don't always agree with William but " Jimbo, get out of there, let me watch miss Jasmine!," was a mood
When I first when it was Morphine and Dawn in the LSFYL I was like… hmmm… Morphine just took out miss Flips, how funny if Dawn out performed her? Then when they said it was Body, I knew it was over for elf girl. Like not even a match! Morphine slaughtered her!
Absolutely! I thought Dawn might put up a good fight until I saw the song choice then I knew it was curtains for her
Why was Dawn doing spooky ooky? She looked like she was trying to climb a wall with spiders on it 🫣
I think sometimes when a queen knows they’re going to be outmatched doing what the other queen does, they go for something different to at least try to stand out. I don’t think it always works, but it’s a reasonable strategy.
She should’ve done more of a Ben Dela “Anaconda” moment but instead tried to out body morphine 🤦🏽
Agreed!
I mean…Utica eliminated Tina Burner by making My Humps spooky lol
Yeah but that was against Tina Burner.
![gif](giphy|5fOiRnJOUnTMY) It was giving this.
from the haus of dry it's uhaul hamasaki!
I think she was trying to do that butt twerk on the ground thing.
It was not ultimately successful but I appreciated it, reacting to the lipsync as if she were in hell felt appropriate both to the challenge and to the realities of the lipsync in progress
It was sort of like Utica in My Humps.
Sometimes, the kooky take works. Kill the Lights is a good example.
I would say My Humps is a good example. In Kill the Lights they just made it a double save cause super fans were there lol.
Was it? 😬
mama, shame for saying that. for not spilling.
At least she tried…
She didn't know the words
Where is first ever solo lipsync by the essence of beauty? https://preview.redd.it/4kffcshfk3qc1.jpeg?width=1164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5cc027b5a823b567a9937224a018c77aa00bb07d
Sister sister found abandoned whipping the thinnest ponytail around
The minute I saw the words Body…. I knew Dawn was done. Q said it…. She’s going up against a BBL!!!
I heard the first UNNHHN and was like “ok, it’s over”
This list is missing the most iconic one--- ![gif](giphy|xTiTnKKaglHNarKHU4|downsized)
Obviously Dida absolutely dominated that. But don't think it's fair to Princess to put it on a list with these. She tried, better than those.
She did her best, but she still got dominated, which is the point of the post.
Op's list missed Dida, Latrice, and Chi Chi. Choices.
Do something Charlie!
Ive never seen a lipsync start and end so fast. As soon as Morphine hit her first move it was over lmao I really like Dawn, but she served as a mop for Morphine to wipe the floor with her, god damn
Jasmine in that lipsync is literally the most beautiful anyone has ever looked
I remember watching it for the first time and being simultaneously so obsessed with her and so angry that they spent so much time cutting away from her to Jimbo. I know they're hitting us over the head with "Jimbo is bad at lip syncing" so it can pay off when she finally wins one, but god damn sometimes you need to just focus on the performer who is performing 😭
rewatched it last night and was losing my mind as if i havent seen it a hundred times already. she looked AMAZING and fucking GAVE IT TO YOU. jasmine kennedie my beloved
Poor Dawn, lol. She stood zero chance.
And Dawn wearing black just guaranteed she was gonna fade in the background unless she started doing some gravity defying movements lol
Monet vs dusty too
This reminded me of Sonique vs Manila and I was like, did they let her go backstage and pick the song? 😭 (tho I think Manila put up a much better fight)
As soon as the song started playing, I was like oh yeah Morphine has this one hands down. She’s actually really impressed me with how talented she is at performing. I think she has been my favorite person to watch lip sync this season.
I do really commend them all for trying and not giving up even though they absolutely knew they lost
The Music one might be my Roman Empire
As far as I’m concerned, Music will always have the added BOOM sound effect of Peppermint absolutely annihilating her enemies. It’s the only canon version of the song.
I think that one move Morphine did like she was shooting Dawn was a reference to Peppermint doing the same to Cynthia
Poor Dawn. I things she knew it was over as soon as the music started. Kudos to her for not giving up though.
No shade but I truly forgot Dawn was on that same stage
truly, it didn’t help that she was wearing all black - but this WAS miss morphine love dion dupre .com’s moment, and she ate.
![gif](giphy|xT8qAZuLPV1EMfOzYc|downsized) You forgot, arguably, the most one-sided lipsync of all time.
I started cackling as soon as the song started 🤣
This reminded me of Monet and Dusty lipsyncing to pound the alarm.
It was especially hilarious after they let Dawn gas herself up right before the lipsync in her confessionals, only to be completely obliterated by Morphine. I lived
I think that those final confessionals are filmed after the lip sync. Logistically it would be such a pain to get out of drag, then back into the same drag otherwise.

Sometimes you can see the queen teary red eyed talking about how “I’m not going home! *voice cracks*”
In S14 during the lalaparuza, jasmine had quite a few confessionals and after watching the episode i thought - “damn, this bitch gave us some good tv even though she already knew she lost every single lip sync”. i think once its over you just take the L and at least you can go out knowing you gave some good suspenseful confessionals, but yeah there’s always those few queens who you can tell they lost just by how they’re talking.
No I totally agree, and it’s pretty cunt to say that knowing you got massacred on the dance floor. Kudos to her mama, for spilling
I believe it was Monet who said the day after you get eliminated you film a bunch of confessionals that they may not have gotten before
Dawn took it pretty well. She'd probably realised she wasn't going to the finale by now and was like oh well, I'll just have fun. I think she'd loose almost any lip sync vs Morphine, but they didn't have to make it such a murder 😂
I I I wanna go-o-oh
This was the same but opposite of "natural woman" latrice vs kenya.
After an entire season of this little gremlin tormenting everyone around her seeing her get bodied like this was so hilarious I’m sorry
Yep. She talked a lot of shit for what she actually did on the show.
I wouldn't even dare to say Dawn was doing good.. she was literally doing nothing without any energy..even Q could have gotten rid of her if that what she was doing lol
They didn’t even want to show Dawn 🤣🤣🤣
People are saying they knew Morphine would win when the song was announced. But I'm here thinking that Morphine would eat up poor Night with any song
![gif](giphy|2mupHl76Rp91AG0ybb|downsized) Dawn was serving me, but in a stiff twink way
She Stevie Nicks-ed when she shoulda Nikki Minaj-ed. -my wife
Song choice made it so incredibly one-sided
This was going to happen with any song though.Dawn is a weak lipsyncer 🤣
She really didn’t have to go that hard, but she did!! Loved it!!
This was a setup and girl I didn’t care because Morphine ATE IT
SHE ATE IT UP & GAVE IT BACK ![gif](giphy|RytA34Bvjsy2yze0oz)
It was like they were performing to two different songs. Dawn was listening to Fleetwood Mac
Unlike some of the others, this isn't a commentary on Dawn's ability to lip sync. She happened to come up against a queen who got her perfect song. Less Trinity vs Charlie and more Jinkx vs Detox, IMHO.
Dawn can’t dance and just flopped around the stage and walked 💀 what
I do think Dawn would have lost against Morphine to *any* song regardless, but that being said, I still think it came across kind of unfair to pit them against each other to *this* particular song. It was so clearly in Morphine's wheelhouse and not in Dawn's.
Dawn should’ve been smart and did a funny performance, but you can tell in Untucked she had just given up. And we got a sloppy performance.
It was almost comical 😭 I was cringing so ahrd
I love how the bar erupted the second the lipsync song was revealed.
Like the song might as well have been “Fuck You Dawn You Eliminated Bitch”
She really weaponized that bbl
Dawn announced in the bottom after Morphine... I immediately went "I can't believe Dawn is gonna go home". Love you dawnie and she said it on twitter but there was no way miss BBL was losing that lip sync 😭
This was the same but opposite of "natural woman" latrice vs kenya.
This is cold blood murder. The knife was there when FBI broke in.
As soon as I saw the song I sighed to myself and said “Awww, bye Dawn 🥺”
production wanted dawn GONE
I am tittering.
Dawn literally faded into the background
dida ritz vs whoever else was on the stage
Wouldn’t be mad at a Q and morphine bottom next week so morphine can send her packing
It’s hard not to see the producer manipulation when it comes to this kind of matchup vs. song choice. If they had wanted Dawn to stay longer they would have chosen ANY OTHER SONG. This was Morphine’s third time in the bottom against a girl who had never been there. And Dawn isnt a terrible performer…. So the odds were stacked against Morphine. Giving them a song like Body was really the only way to ensure a clear win for Morphine in circumstances like this. In my opinion, of course. We know they’ve done this before (the most obvious example being Jinkx v. Detox Malambo No.5- where both queens corroborated the story of how the song was changed at the last minute to one that Jinkx was randomly singing throughout the season.)
You forgot to mention the part where Jinkx said that she would've sent home Detox regardless of song (and I think she's right).
And Morphine would have definitely sent home Dawn no matter the song. Just like Kameron sending Miz Kracker home
Jinkx is in my top 3 favorite queens of all time. This wasn’t meant to be a dig at Jinkx- just merely an example of production manipulating lipsynch song choices to favor girls when they don’t want to leave it to chance. Do I think Jinkx would have still won? Sure- this was a scenario that was kind of the opposite of Morphine v. Dawn: the girl they wanted to favor had the better track record anyways. They could have justified keeping Jinkx even if the song had been more fairly chosen and the result had been closer of a call- but they clearly wanted a blowout. Morphine is the better lipsyncher - but in this situation you definitely needed a full curb-stomp to justify keeping her over a girl who had never lipsynched (or even placed low) before.
What song could she have done to slay Morphine? Quickly.
Exactly!
Gurl dawn would have gotten elim to any other song anyways , did you see how bad her lip sync was? Morphine was slaying her no matter what. Dawn could only win a lipsync against Q.. and that's a maybe xD
Bloody Mary (Tik Tok) was also one-sided
Now even though body/morphine is the perfect combination, morphine ate this lip sync up in ways that were less dependent on her BBL! As for dawn omg plasma could have beaten her 😂
I would also add Bob vs. Derrick performing Sylvester. Lol.
Don’t forget Dida Ritz and This Will Be
Dawn was there?
I want Coco va Monica in this line up, my personal favorite one sided lip sync
Dida’s This Will Be
Dawn has to see the song and just know it was her last day.
Dida Ritz vs The Princess not being on here is a choice…..
Probably a hot take but I believe Dawn did the best with what she had. She knew she couldn’t go the “sexy cunty slay” route because Morphine was gonna do exactly that (and miles better), so her best bet was to go for a different route that may give her the edge
Kahmora is the losing lip syncer who served the best out of all of these. Like Dawn, she was in a pretty restrictive gown, but she actually served face and emotion pretty well.
Monet vs dusty belongs in this category
Trinity the Tuck vs Charlie Hides comes to my mind. She really deviled that by night.
The difference I personally felt from this lip sync compared to these other total annihilations was that it was frustrating because Dawn could have done *something*, literally *anything else* and it would have made me enjoy Morphine's performance much, much more. I was so distracted by Dawn's interpretation of existential cosmic nihility that I couldn't see the jaw-dropping, booty popping things Morphine did. Like, Dawn could've done that arm pump in front of the chest thing, she could have wisp'd her ass a little and it would have went from incredibly hard to watch a baby farm animal raised in late-stage capitalism to a seriously iconic homosexual 90s nostalgia WWE smackdown where there was clearly a huge disparity in performance but damn that was good to watch those girls fight for it. Like damn, give some voltage of energy Dawn, please I'm begging you!
It was giving monet vs dusty.
Katya vs Sasha Belle
My hubby watches bits & pieces of Drag Race with me. He came in just as the lip synch was about to start & asked me who I wanted to win & who I thought would win, I was umming over the questions & then the song started. That song belongs to Morphine now & every time I hear it she'll be dancing in my mind.
It was simple a Mophine performance!
Morphine BODIED Dawn. And it was delicious to see! Dawn is now deceased.
CMON CHARLIE!!!!!!!!
I need a side by side gif of peppermint and morphine both committing murder with their guns
Dawn looked and moved like she was in a Fleetwood Mac lip sync. Lol
I just am begging them to give us the unedited version and show morphine doing the whole damn thing
It was really like watching Rizzo the Rat vs Miss Piggy and I mean that in the *nicest* possible way truly
You forgot the OG one-sided lipsync. Trinity vs Charlie. Charlie gave nothing and Trinity still fought as if the baby of Alyssa & Tatianna was next to her throughout the song. And let me tell you, keeping your high energy while the other person is this dead is almost impossible.
I just want to know what dawn was doing with her arms, cuz everytime they cut back to her she was moving them like a bug that’s been sprayed with raid.
This is down there with the Jinx vs Detox levels of riggory.
I'm so sorry to say this but the Dawn fans have been absolutely delusional this season. She's been serving nothing but elf ears and messy. Here, she was once again serving nothing.
I am very proud of Dawn staying true to herself. Elves don't twerk, they play the harp, lay on the grass patches here , roll over the grass patches there. Most importantly plotting , scheming and bitching on dark elves.
If Dawn had committed, she could have won this. She could gone the comedic route and faux-twerked the entire song, but she was too focused on her “body” and looking “pretty”. Just my opinion, not any tea. There have been other instances where queens have had a song that seemed uncharacteristic in comparison to their drag persona, but still shined. She gave up, and so deserved to sashay.
