I grew up in the pageant world, and that was a song that I mainly saw beautiful trans women goddesses perform. "Sade's 'Is It a Crime' is one of my favourite songs. I feel like her music is just so great to perform to. But with Céline, you can have a little bit more fun with it. Like, Cher is another person a lot of queens impersonate, but Cher doesn't really do a whole lot. She's just a little bit of a nut job, and we love it. "I think she's our diva, you know? And she's a really fun person to impersonate because she's crazy. So is the first ballad I really started performing a lot and it kind of changed my performance style." You have to actually stand there and deliver a really powerful performance, which is harder to do. For me, it's a lot more difficult than dancing because you can't just rely on tricks and kicks and flips. So I try to do a lot of ballads now because I love power ballads, and I love seeing people perform them really well. Everyone knows me as a dancer, but the thing is, I'm getting older and I don't want to dance forever.
'If you come to a drag show and I'm performing, chances are you're going to see this number. 'It's All Coming Back to Me Now,' Céline Dion I never want to hear or do that song again, but it did change my life." That was incredible.' And we actually hung out a few times they're really great. They were like, 'Oh my God, I just saw it. messaged me on Instagram, probably a couple of months after that episode aired. I knew it was a good lip-sync, but I didn't know people were going to go as crazy for it as they did. That was a song that really turned a lot of stuff around for me, and really blew up in a way I didn't expect it to.
We got this huge round of applause, which doesn't always happen after lip-syncs. But afterwards, the crew and the judges, and everyone, was just clapping.
During the lip-sync, you kind of get lost and I kind of blacked out, which is always a sign of a good performance, when you don't remember what happened. We were both in the bottom two, and rightfully so. "I did one of the most famous lip-syncs of all time on Drag Race to this song against Yvie Oddly. With the second season of Canada's Drag Race wrapping up this week, and 1 Queen 5 Queers' recent premiere (new episodes air weekly on Crave), CBC Music caught up with Brooke Lynn Hytes to look at five songs that changed her life. (Assassins are often brought back to battle queens on RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars, on which Hytes made an appearance for its most recent season.) On her season of RuPaul's Drag Race, Hytes built up a reputation as a "lip-sync assassin," a contestant whose skills as a performer not only saved her from elimination, but who was feted for delivering some of the show's best numbers. As a drag queen, Hytes is constantly performing and lip-syncing to big, bombastic songs, whether they're pop hits or power ballads. Priyanka, Canada's Drag Race winner, wants you to take drag queens' music seriouslyīut to say Hytes isn't musical at all is a lie.
