This will forever be a Michelle favourite because it's a queen completely changing what makes them unique and then switching it back to their signature right at the end
It's also a tribute to Sasha's mom who died of cancer. The lyrics talking about "I get emotional everytime I think of you" and her loosing her hair with the rose petals which are a symbol for love. Such a layered beautiful moment. There is a reason that song spiked in popularity after this performance.
Sasha also had scissors strapped to her leg in case she got “stronger” and she would have cut the wig shorter and shorter in honour of her mother . Either way she was walking out the winner .
Yh, I always thought that looking at their final outfits, some only planned for one of the lip syncs, shea looked like she was prepared for stronger so it seemed Sasha was bound to win, same for trinity
I'll never forget how I felt watching this performance. Shea is so fierce but Sasha pulled out the big guns and it was just so right! It's crazy how two finale moments are in my top three and they're both by Sashas! Sasha Colbys "Goddess" lives in my head rent free baby
i remember being in highschool and ignoring every one of my responsibilities while binginb this season at might and i silent screamed when this moment happened, my heart was beating. I WAS LIKEAAAAAAAA. it was iconic
The reveal that changed lip syncs forever. First it was Roxxy wearing a wig under a wig now Sasha with rose petals under a wig. So eager for more creativity
@@glopop5282I was so gagged at this moment before the reveal when they cut to Ru, I was thinking she was trying to be funny by taking the wig off 💀 She’s so wild I lived
thank you for someone FINALLY acknowledging the TITAN that Shea is and was during that lipsync. I lived for that wispy bang, and vinyl outfit... and the body drama?? yes she was eclipsed but she deserved her tens
Finally? Even in her original season many people already knew that Shea was a titan. If it weren't for the changed rules, I'm pretty sure she probably would have been the winner
but can we talk about how good at lip syncing Sasha actually is, like she annunciates every shape of a word perfectly. IDK how to describe it but I love to see it and Shea is sooooooo good too, perfect lip sync
Bro you just sing the song silently, how can that be hard as long as you have lyrics and timing down? The rest of their performance must be way harder in my imagination
@@FirstnameLastname-gr5kb yeah, totally. Should have worded that differently but I just love the emotion they seem to bring using their dictation or something. IDK what I'm really saying but they are just really good performers.
@@FirstnameLastname-gr5kb you'd think that but some queens are just way better at being expressive with their face during lip syncs, it's definitely a talent
@@FirstnameLastname-gr5kb lip sync is a skill and, just like any skill, it can be honed to perfection. Sasha is one of those performers that have honed it to perfection ❤
I will never forget watching this moment in real time and being so sad that Shea wasn’t going to win but so happy that I was witnessing Herstory before my eyes ❤
Mama, that was *ART* Have I watched this a thousand times? Yes. Does it give me shivers every single time at how good that was? Yes. Will I watch it a thousand more? Yes.
I literally said the same thing when I first watched. “A wig…???” Ngl right before she did her last reveal I said out loud “don’t me she has….” And screamed my head off. Love this performance. Legendary.
@@TheDirtydee118they're drag queens. In costume/character they go by she because theyre dressed as women. Youre triggered in the wrong comment section.
The definition of "showstopping" -- the moment, and Aja's reaction in the crowd shot, live rent-free in my head forever. (It also lived too poor in dear Shea's head, but...)
No matter how often I watch this 😮 I cry every time! The rose petals are just the tip of the iceberg, it's Sasha being so intense with her mimic... I'm sure if we had seen her perform lipsyncs for your life during the season this wouldn't have been such an impact, but this way ❤ well deserved win
Poor Shea, she had to deal with it for a few years. She said in the interview that sometimes people mocked her about anything related to that moment, specifically rose petals. Thankfully the therapy helped her, and then she won the all-stars! This queen deserved it 👸🏻
@@kirsteinypon2328 Some fans just take things too far! I've heard queens speak on how sometimes fans will do or say something they think is a joke based on the show but can be hurtful.
This was my first season of Rupaul's Dragrace I watched and the moment Sasha and Peppermint walked in I immediately aaid to myself that I am supporting them all the way. When the finale came I was astounded that both my queens made it and it was amazing seeing them lip sync against one another! Both of them have such vastly diff styles and I really enjoyed watching it!
I loved the scene, and both queens. But in the drag race all stars you hear more about how shea felt after that and it is really just sad, there were in even people who would go to her and throw red rose petals at shea almost as if they were mocking her loss. Im glad that sasha won that, and im also glad that shea won drag race all stars. They both are so wonderful and entertaining to watch to the fact that in the end they both won, which makes me really happy :)
And it is moments like these that really put the spotlight on why we all love Michelle so much and it is so purely encapsulated in the statement. How did not one rose pedal fall out.
Agreed. I once saw someone say it was just cos of the rose petals and i practically wrote an entire essay on why Sasha's performance was everything even without the stunt.
i went to see sasha velour on tour last year and she recreated this scene and it was INSAAAANE, i can’t believe after having seen it so many times it was still hitting the spot
It’s crazy how one moment can have many different perspectives. to Sasha that was one of the most defining moments of her career. But for Shea that was one of the most devastating moments of her career. People would come up to her after that and lift their caps with rose petals falling out.
This moment will never be topped for me. So simple yet SO impactful. Now everyone feels the need to do some huge reveal and it frequently becomes a bit of a mess...
I think it's important to remember that the audience and viewers at this point were completely bought into the STORY behind the symbology of love in the rose petals for Sachas mothers cancer diagnosis. It was truely an artist story moment that basically summed up the whole season in one moment. No one stood a chance.
Omg this was the moment of all moments. Love me some Sasha!!!! Love Shea Coulee too but Sasha just had this artsy vibe and even her verse was better in the final song they did
There's often "Art queens". Milk, Utica, Yvie, etc. The Art queens are always risky but dangerous because you don't if their big swings are gonna blow up in their face, or catch a crit role and blow everyone else out of the water no matter what they do. Sasha was precise all season, but her big swing here won her the season. I don't think anyone could have beaten that lip sync; it was a piece of live performance art.
I stopped watching the show after this. I'm not a fan of the whole lip sync thing for the finale. Theyre both amazing but a gimmick shouldnt be a reason someone won.
@Sebastián Baeza I love the whole Sasha wig moment but that was the gimmick. I like lip sync for your life but not for the finale. I definitely preferred when they had set individual performances for each queen that better represented who they are for their final performance.
I honestly wasn't the first time I saw it either but the more often I see the clip the more I appreciate it for the moment it was. Plus I'm forever a Sasha stan lol
I felt so bad for Shea because I love that queen and she was so freaking amazing all season but then Sasha just stole everyone’s heart and it was such a MOMENT and so beautiful. When my dad was in hospice with cancer I shaved my head too and seeing Sasha being a bald queen for her mom was really touching and the way she never compromised her weirdness was so admirable. Also that dress was beautiful and she earned that crown 😭
I know I'm late to this video but i just love too how this shows her true identity and expression and seeing the passion in how she embraces her identity and also how she remembers her late mother who passed due to cancer. Love her.
I remember writing to my best friend the first time I saw this telling him I felt SO ridiculous and corny for crying because of a drag race performance lmfao, I was in complete awe
It’s sad the shallow things the world thinks are history making life events today.. a man in a wig with rose petals under it and this woman thinks it’s an historical event. 🙄
You understand she's speaking about "history" in the context of the TV show + the art of drag in general, right? You seem to be taking it extremely literally for some reason as though you don't understand what context is.
Watch the full video here: czcams.com/video/t00VFUABOi4/video.html
it now says that *“the video is unavailable”* 😩 ; now im sad I wanted to watch the *whole* version (of said video , NOT the lip sync in itself)
Why’d you remove the ep?

The reveal that changed lip syncs forever. First it was Roxxy wearing a wig under a wig now Sasha with rose petals under a wig. So eager for more creativity
Yvie’s was creative in as7… no one has done it on the main stage or finale. I loved it despite all the Yvie slander.

Yea I'm pretty sure most of the community recognizes Shea as a titan. I dunno what planet you living on, even losing , Shea was still on top.

Dont lie
Same. Watched it on my phone in public and I was gagged
I was hoping shea was gonna win but was proud of sasha for winning.

Guys, we need a show where Michelle comments the most iconic moments of Drag Race
This was my first season of Rupaul's Dragrace I watched and the moment Sasha and Peppermint walked in I immediately aaid to myself that I am supporting them all the way. When the finale came I was astounded that both my queens made it and it was amazing seeing them lip sync against one another!

I honestly cried at this one. They're such sweeties to each other, both some of the best, but the emotion Sasha was able to convey in that reveal UGH.
And it is moments like these that really put the spotlight on why we all love Michelle so much and it is so purely encapsulated in the statement. How did not one rose pedal fall out.
Tbh, if Sasha didn't even reveal that wig, she's still gonna win that lipsync bc HER EXPRESSION OMG
Yeah, Shea was just twirling all over the place and randomly pointing at stuff 😂
Agreed. I once saw someone say it was just cos of the rose petals and i practically wrote an entire essay on why Sasha's performance was everything even without the stunt.
i went to see sasha velour on tour last year and she recreated this scene and it was INSAAAANE, i can’t believe after having seen it so many times it was still hitting the spot
This was the first season of Drag Race I ever watched and I will never regret that. Sasha is a Goddess!
and even without the tricks, Sasha can lipsinc.. the movements of her lips show so much emotions
That dress is gorgeous too. Everything Sasha wears is an original.
“It was a hiding place “ 😅
It’s crazy how one moment can have many different perspectives. to Sasha that was one of the most defining moments of her career. But for Shea that was one of the most devastating moments of her career. People would come up to her after that and lift their caps with rose petals falling out.

Why is Michelle using the thousand-yard stare while she's telling this story? I love her
THIS PERFORMANCE. I still get goosebumps just thinking about it.❤
NOT ONE ROSE PETAL!!!!!!! NOT ONE!!! pls tell netflix to only have season 9 and 11 on maybe even 3 no definitely Biancas season as well
Me in my 80s on a wheelchair :
I love Michele even more for this. You can tell she really loves the artistry of Drag 😍
Aja's reaction is the entire vibe tho!
Omg this was the moment of all moments. Love me some Sasha!!!! Love Shea Coulee too but Sasha just had this artsy vibe and even her verse was better in the final song they did
One of the best shows ever, actual iconic!!
We were all gagged, gooped and gobsmacked! Iconic Drag Race moment!
Me and my mom were gagged when that happened
Seeing this clip randomly on YT a few years ago was the reason I started watching drag race in the first place.
One of my favorite finals... I screamed too lol
I'm telling this as a bedtime story
Now we know Shea's Rose Syndrome
My FAVOURITE season hands down
I love how Ru doesn’t even flinch, he must’ve been so gagged
Michelle's vocals 😍😍
She did something new but at the end still stayed true to herself ❤
I dont know when drag queens started to pop on my youtube shorts but I'M HERE FOR IT
Michelle telling us a bedtime story 😍
Iconic ✨
Ok but someone explain how not one rose petal fell out before this
Omg that moment makes me tear up every time thinking about Sasha’s mom and how powerful Sasha’s journey had actually been❤ forever iconic!
Sasha killed it!
It was new, inventive, emotional, glamorous, and iconic.
I don’t remember or know the other performer.
Well guess what, Mimi... It wasn't.
It was a hiding place.
Gotta love Recounting Sasha’s wig moment like it’s a historical documentary
*herstorical moment indeed.
The most iconic moment of the show
The look on Shae's face when it happened. She knew. Shae had it in the bag until that moment. Then an arrow stright through her heart.
This is one of the best moments in Rupaul’s Drag Race history.
It’s funny to listen to this because my name is Shea
But they both absolutely kill it!
Michelle is so us for this
Hello ive done a show and MY HEEL WHEN I DID SPRING WITH MY HEEL IN THE AIR I LET OUT CONFETTI 🎉🎉🎉🎉
IT WAS A HIDING PLACE!!!
This moment gave me chills! Favorite drag race moment ever!!!
What a magical moment!!
Michelle should narrate children's story books
There's often "Art queens". Milk, Utica, Yvie, etc. The Art queens are always risky but dangerous because you don't if their big swings are gonna blow up in their face, or catch a crit role and blow everyone else out of the water no matter what they do.

It's weird how my feed gets drag stuff when I never look it up.
This reveal always gives me chills
Shea really thought she was going to be the Crowned Queen of Season 9 with a twirl or two. I will never forget this magical moment 😭
This was the one, the ONLY time, in my opinion, that a true double crowning was missed
Fucken fabulous ❤
Best performance/moment EVER!! I screamed so loud.
Shrieked aloud right there in the living room. Sasha's curation and thought process are undefeated.
They can hide their long and danglies so rose petals are nothing doll! ❤
I thought it was kind of a cheap trick. Im a shae fan through and through
This was the moment that made me fall in love with drag and the art of it! Started watching drag race because of this ❤
This moment still gives me goosebumps
I have a question do you need to be a specific gender to do drag bc ppl tell me it’s just guys
