i genuinely think the lipsync for “She already done had herses” should be a STAPLE of the show, like miss congeniality!!!! more superlatives!!!
I was thinking the same! Such a fun episode, and we get to see the queens that went home too early!
I second this!!! gives the early outs a second chance to shine!! ❤️❤️❤️
So true! Some queens would still get zero screen time or even worse edit in the reunion episode. This episode is like a celebration for the queens. They get to redeem themselves and shine again!
megami shared her strategy on twitter how she knew q had that reveal but wouldn't do it in a song about feminism , also the song vs amanda she said she has done 100s of times on her gigs and then how the next song mhi ya haaaaated
Not only that but doing a boob reveal to a Janet song after the whole superbowl thing could also be risky waters lmao
@@nreddfr!! just like what megami said it could be considered as domestic abuse or smthng 😂
@@chikinpasta6047 Megami said she wouldn't have done a titty reveal because the song is about domestic abuse, which she was correct about.
Why did the show choose a song about domestic abuse in the first place? There are other Janet Jackson songs out there 😭
@@EdelaraI’m glad the queen know when to do those tricks. They are thinking about the song, not just for entertainment.
RuPaul said it. MeGAGme killed it 😂❤️
Gurl plasma should've won her lipsync. Just cuz you do floppy flips on stage that are out of sync to the song doesn't mean you get to win 😭 Plasma was ON BEAT. Like gurl this ain't the circus, it's a lip SYNC.
I was shocked at how well Plasma did in that lip sync and how unimpressed I was by Mhi'ya, because all her other lip syncs were great.
But I think Plasma kinda self-eliminated herself with that wig reveal...
Plasma was on beat at first, but she got messy when she did that atrocious wig reveal and started noguing. It was a chop at that point.
Yall only say that because you were expecting her to do bad. She did okay. The expectations for her were so low.
Plasma was horrible wtf you on xd
@@nreddcompletely right, plasma could never do what Mhi'ya is doing, even if it's "repetitive"
Been waiting for this. Megami ATEEE this DOWNNN! I 100% was rooting for her to win this episode. I've always liked her for some reason, and this episode just proved why! I also almost passed out watching Mirage because she is just SOOOO enchanting. When she spins it is just so magical. I wanted to see her go further and I really hope to see her again soon because she is probably the most enchanted and engaging performer ever on the show. (I also think Plasma won that 3-way lipsync!)
YC, did you see Megami's hand movement predicting Mhi'yas split?!!? I NEEEED to know if you reacted to that/noticed it!
I do agree Mirage is just magic on the stage, she can move in such an enchanting way!
Megami was great indeed and I barely remembered her from the season! It was such a nice surprise!
And I said it before and I will say it again, Ru definitely hates all these wonderful musical theatre queens! I hate that, Plasma should have won that 3 way lipsync!
One of the best episodes ever I had such a good time
what a great season. any winner works amazing. and that sweet treat of seeing megami go from Eeyore to Underdog was amazing ❤
PLASMA WON THAT THREEWAY HANDS DOWN
being a huge geek, megami was one of my favorites when the cast was first announced and watching her finally shine and prove to the world exactly why she was cast in the first place after being underestimated by everyone was such a joy to witness. it even felt like Ru fell in love with Megami this episode with how she embodied these older songs, like you could see how much RU was living for Megami. I could definitely see her being invited back for an all stars after her performance this episode and the fans response to her.
she needs to be apart of the drags race live show in vegas!!
EVERYONE underestimate Megami and THIS was THE MEGAMI EPISODE ❤❤ just like with Silky on AllStars 6
The reaction drag race fans been waiting ❤
I honestly believe plasma won that 3 way lip sync … yes Amiyah did great but plasma put it all in ❤
Morphine also did great but I believe Megamii should have won she gave tailored her lip syncs to each and every song morphine just did the same tricks she does to every song
Well, the thing is that you have to put it all in, and not look crazy while doing so. That wig... gurl you can't win a lip sync looking like that. A performance is also a look.
Plasma WON that 3-way IMHO & Megami WON against Morphine IMHO. I've been saying for weeks that Rupaul & production have been shady and are setting up Sapphira to win season 16 and I'm NOT here for it.
I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS REACTION! Can´t wait!
Im so happy that people send tipped to megami after all of those amazing performance. I choked up reading she cant pay her debt with the amount
I definitely tipped her. She earned it! ❤
So proud of Megami 💕🎉
I had to stop just to say this: I would have also given that win to Plasma! I was so annoyed!
Um... no. In no world did Plasma beat Mhi'ya... come on now...
@@graphiquejackbut that's the world we living in... plasma maybe not the fiercest lipsync performer ever, but she outdelivered M'hiya on song she picked by serving enough femininity and camp
M'hiya was out of her element this episode
@@graphiquejack In this case she actually did, I was surprised seeing her eliminated...
I am LIVING from your analysis on this!!!
something about seeing all the queens in the werkroom watching and cheering is so wholesome to me ❤
I just love the way Mirage moves, looks so effortless and kind of weightless, the name suits her well because when I watch her perform I find myself thinking "is she even real?"
Ugh as a Morphine AND Megamind stan, this episode ATE. One of my favorite Drag Race episodes, hands down.
They all ate this episode I’m ngl
So proud of Mirage for her Lipsync Redemption!
You and Donut are my fave Drag Race reactors. You exhibit so much genuine joy from watching the show. ❤
There was two months between the episode where Q was eliminated until the last two episodes. It has something to do with an anticipation of a strike.
The clam digger 😭😭😭 never heard it called that before 😂
😂 I guess it was the Charleston but clam digger is what came to mind.
“Plasma won that lipsync…” Well, yes! She ate them up.
Megami Nutmeg Ganache did not come to PLAYYYYY
I was looking forward to your reaction to the episode. I love your reactions and commentary.
Dawn said on twitter that she wasn't feeling her best around the time of filming this episode and also knew she couldn't win, so she chose Amanda to perform with as friends and also to get her to advance to the next round!
Plasma CLEARLY won that triple lipsync
Good to see you! Great set of lipsynchs. Proud of Megami, Mirage & Morphine! My standouts! Plus Plasma held her own that time against Mhi'ya. 🤎
the M girls ate this episode
Sooo… the deal with Q’s tittie reveal…
(This is all according to Megami on X.)
Janet Jackson’s “What About” is a song about domestic abuse. (It sounded kinda familiar to me but I didn’t know it by name and definitely didn’t know about the subject matter. Which feels odd because I love Janet and know sooo much of her music. But clearly not all of it. lol.) Megami knew that Q had that reveal prepared but she also knew that Q wouldn’t do it during a song about domestic violence. Which was the right call on Q’s part. But Megami played her like a fiddle.
Anyway, that’s why she did it after lipsync/after she had already been eliminated.
A tittie reveal to a Janet song would have been a gag.
I’ve been waiting for this video 😊🎉
plasma DID A GREAT JOB
They really exhausted their soundboard of 5 audience sounds in this episode
I wish there was a way to convince Morphine to invest that money. If she just lets it sit in a moderately aggressive portfolio it can turn into 500k+ by the time she retires without adding a dime with an average annual return of 7%, which is well within the S&P 500 annual average. Her butt was big enough to win $50k, it's big enough. 😂 Anyway, I hope they do this every year; I loved this episode. Mirage and Amanda really won me over.
PLASMA WON THAT LIPSYNC!
17:39 plasma should’ve won 🙄
Ok kudos to Megami for doing that but... I really wanted to see the finale lipsync between Morphine and Mirage 😭
Everyone: you better give me your all in this lip sync
Mirage: do you know the lyrics ?
Plasma should have won that but the producers thought we would get a better show between Myah, Morphine, and Mirage.
According to Megami, Mhi'ya HATED that song, ans that was what motivated her to pick her over Morphine for the Lip Synch.
It was a wise move, because Mhi'ya would have beat her for almost anything else. I was very happy to see Megami do well, and we finally saw the queer art worth protecting, however, Mhi'ya now joins Jasmine and Jax for robbed lip sync assassins during the lalaparuza.
@@graphiquejack this time M'hiya underdelivered on both of her performances, while Jasmine and especially Jax leaved it ALL on the stage and were sent home for storyline purposes only
she was beaten by both Plasma and Megami in my opinion
@@georgiyrozanov8645 She definitely underdelivered but I think she was saving it for the final lip sync. I know she can do a ton of flips and more stunts and she can dance too.
Morphine ate and she deserved to win, considering she also won against Sapphira! :D
I was impressed by Plasma, but what on earth was she thinking with that wig reveal? Going for THAT wig with MILKSHAKE? I mean, come on! The long wig was great, she looked so good, and then she decided to give 70 yo dame after the reveal :D
For me the winner of each lipsync was
Amanda vs Dawn- Amanda wins
Megami vs Q- Megami wins
Morphine vs Geneva- Morphine wins
Mirage vs Hershii- Mirage wins
Mhi'ya vs Plasma vs Xunami- Plasma wins
Megami vs Amanda-Megami wins
Morphine vs Mirage- Morphine wins
Megami vs Mhi'ya -Megami Wins
Morphine vs Megami-Morphine wins
Side note- If Plasma won the 3 way lipsync i think the final lipsync of the night would've been Morphine vs Plasma -Morphine wins
I don’t know. The way Megami was killing it, I think the final two would have been the same even if Plasma won her lipsync.
@@YCRhinoReactionseither way i'd be happy 😊
Plasma may have not won on the show, but she won in everyone’s heart
Plasma queen of robbed
Well, congrats to Morphine and her BBL. I’m just not enchanted by her style though. In her vs Mirage, I actually would have had Mirage advance. Her spins and fluid floor work are hypnotic.
As for the 3-way lip sync…which really was Plasma vs Mih’ya cause Xunami was just like a piece of furniture, not even “decor”, Plasma had a great performance. Maybe it’s the camera work or the editing (as in we couldn’t really see the whole stage unlike those that were present) but it was hard to keep up with M being all over the place including the back while Plasma stuck to the front centre. She could have advanced.
I think global all stars and all stars 9 are moreless gonna air at the same time
We all need to go tip miss Megami
I definitely did. She earned it!
4:36 that part! probably why i thought mhiya was way weaker this lip sync than any of the lipsyncs she did earlier
Very happy for Morphine, but I gotta say, Megami ate!
Same here!
So, there is no reunion episode this time? 😢
No one wants a reunion. They’re boring.
15:52 i agree. I do find it a bit odd that they had this lip sync lalaparusza with an uneven number of queens. Almost as if there was supposed to be a top 4. Was Ru that unimpressed with Q to be in the top, or am I reaching a bit ?
Production hated q honestly but also liked her at the same time playing at her face she was just another loosey
They messed that up.
I agreed with pretty much all of the outcomes (I also thought Plasma won hers). Loved LOVED how Megami, Mirage and Morphine ate all those lip syncs up ❤❤
Hi YC, do you think you would be interested in watching the Drag Race Live Untucked series?
Probably not. I don’t think it would get good views. I’ve never heard anyone talk about it.
I really enjoyed this episode, it was very straight forward. all the queens did amazing, no unnecessary drama, I love the new and improved new main stage, I hope this will be moving forward, like you I hate the 3 way lip syncs, but Plasma eat that lip sync she way did better than Mhi'ya , I wanted Mirage or Morphine to win but at the end I was Ok if Megami won because she did that, but Morhine winning was well deserved, I'm taking in to consideration all her fabulous confessionals and over all performance thru season she was fabulous.
Its not a new stage btw. This was the Celebrity Drag Race studio, since they have a live audience. Pretty sure they’ll only use this stage for these types of things.
@@novatm13 when RuPaul walked the runway she saiid, welcome to the new and improved main stage of RuPauls drag race, that’s why I said that, and yes I know this was the stage used for celebrity drag race, and yes I agree with you probably it was only used for this ocasión only, but why shall see how season 17 or the next Allstars look like 😊
I think you were too serious with the Dawn and Amanda lipsync, Dawn knew she wouldn't win here so I think she wants to have fun 😂
Megami!
Oof these songs... But what a fun episode. I'm so glad Megami got a rudemption and so so happy for Morphine. She deserved something for the way she carried this season in the confessionals.
I wonder if they let Mhi'ya through at that stage to possibly have her go against Megami, it would close her "arc". She would have won or lost against the girl who sent her home. I feel like if it was Plain Jane and Amanda in that situation, we would have seen something similar. I don't like how they cut to one person and we don't see what the other is doing, I wanna see the full performances, why not split the screen or something.
Idk if I want this format or the Canada S4 one
CDR format made sense. This one didn’t.
Whose team are you on YC? I’m team sapphira all the way but I wouldn’t really mind the others winning
I'm Team Plane Jane but I'll be happy with either of them.
the double standard between amanda and plane is honestly crazy. amanda was singled out constantly by plane during her time on the show, and the fans are attacking her for saying that plane being in the top 3 is possibly not correct to her (even after she said she’s fully aware of how she feels bitter toward plane). plane talked shit about amanda on multiple occasions when she wasn’t even there, and the fans live for it. like what?💀
I’m not a plane jane hater btw, just someone with critical thinking skills
The format is similar to S14 and S15’s lalaparuzas. Why were you surprised? Lol
The format wasn't the same.
@@YCRhinoReactionsit is actually if you rewatch :)
It wasn’t.
@@YCRhinoReactions ohh really cause i only remember the name balls getting drawn and the one that gets picked by the one chosen by the ball chooses the song
That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the stupid way they decided who advanced to the semi and finals. Megami had to lipsync four times and Morphine only three times.
17th Hey YC - wow what an episaode.....I honestly thought they woulda' made Q a 4th if her Book Cover had been up to par with everyone else's....hers was the obvious weak one out of the four....., well I was happy for Morgami...Maya just didn't sell the song in the liP snyc like Morgami .......Happy for Morphine's WIN ... :) xo
why did you edited out the split in palm scene😢😢😢😢😢
I didn't notice it until someone pointed it out on Twitter.
I enjoyed the performances but honestly the way they went about it was weird, the best time they did lipsync lalapaluza was CDR 4
I think it’s kind of unfair to have odd number of girls not lipsync to earn their spots. I think Mhi’ya, Morphine and Megami should have lip-synced and choose 2 of the girls to advance. Same goes for Mhi’ya, she was in a really good spot since she only had to lipsync twice had Megami not chose her for the lipsync before the final 2.
If this was done this way in another DR franchise ppl willl be ripping apart the show... Since its Ru Paul... Silence 💀
I love Morphine and was sooo happy/proud of her. HOWEVER that being said Megami won this for me. Also Plasma won that lip sync.
I say Megami won because to me she was serving the energy the song needed. Where as Morphine was doing a great job however she was doing just her usual sexy Morphine thing. Which is great but just didn’t fit the song as well.
I think they didn’t give it to Megami because they were scared fans would be mad. I’m happy for Morphine but I’m bummed because Morphine is already going to be set money wise for awhile being a great performer, a popular queen from the season, and having made it to top 5. So to me Megami needed this more than Morphine.
I love these reactions but when she said drag race is rewarding queens doing the same sh** all the time I thought it's really hard and requires months if not years of practice to achieve those tricks so it's great to be rewarded for doing them, specially Mhi'ya who at least had a lot of tricks, in the other hand morphine did the same boring split on every lip sync the whole season and she's the winner of the lollaparooza? The finale should have been Mirage vs either megami or Mhi'ya
I’m certain it is really hard but it gets old. We didn’t see anything new from Mhi’ya in that 3-way yet she won? Plasma was highly entertaining and gave us a laugh. I agree Megami should have won but I bet if she did the same thing in four lipsyncs during the regular season, we wouldn’t have been as impressed.
I honestly thought Megami should've won.
"So what, who cares?" Love you girl but have you watched the show, Tamar? Mama Ru has always said... "put your child in dance". If you can't dance... you're gone.
There have been many winners of Drag Race that weren’t good dancers. It’s not a dancing competition.
@@YCRhinoReactions like who? Even Bianca can keep a beat.
If Mhiya had changed up her lipsynch style just a lil and not focus so much much on flips on the second round she would have won
Im definitely in the minority where I didn’t like Plasma or Mhi’ya’s performance to Milkshake
Plasma definitely won!
Season 16 top 3 is giving me a Reboot of Season 2 Top 3
Miya’s lipsync on this ep was a meh, plasma should’ve won imo
Your taste in music is questionable but great reaction.
Our preference in music is unique to us. We don't all have to like the same songs.
#teamsapphira
So glad Mhi'ya's one trick flips didn't win. Very disappointed in Megami not winning. I was rooting for Morphine the whole episode but she did not win that last one. Plasma also won the triple. Lots of poor decisions made by Ru and/or interference from the producers.
Anyone else find the Dawn vs Amanda lipsync annoying to watch beecause of the backdrop??? the flashing lights are so bad
I didn’t notice.
Plasma beat Mhi'ya in that threeway lipsync. But Rupaul loves Mhi'ya and was hoping for a Mhi'ya vs. Morphine lipsync again.
Telling drag queens not to be crass? Lol
Are they exempt from being crass? 🧐
@YCRhinoReactions I mean pushing the boundary and being crass is pretty rooted in drag no? If you went to a drag show and a queen on the mic was being crass, you would be put off? Expecting queens on Rupauls Drag Race to not be crass just makes no sense to me
So basically what I think about the song choices:
Damaged is LONG AWAITED, Q is lucky Amanda didn’t get this in episode 5 cos she would WIPE THE FLOOR with Q
What About feels right… defo better than most songs
Million dollar baby is decent, not a song we needed so soon
Alone is… awful.
Milkshake should’ve been used with Silky i fear
We didn’t need Cher, We NEEDED Donna Summer again
We Got The Beat? Oh!
Gonna Make You Sweat is not a very draggy song
Conclusion: where tf was Beyoncé, Gaga, Mariah, Britney, A Better Cher Song and WHERE. WERE. THE. CLUB. SONGS.
Silky would have MURDERED on the dance floor Milkshake!
This season was a mess and so overproduced and boring. I don’t even know where to begin. I feel bad for these girls. The last season was a lot to live up to but damn….
I hated last season. 😂
You pause way too much jesus
It’s a reaction video.
