Lipsync Performances/Micro's Drag Race

## Lipsync For Your Life

**Lipsync For Your Life** (sometimes known as '**Lipsync For Your Legacy**', '**Lipsync For Your Lives**', '**Lipsync For The Win**', '**Lipsync For Your Charity'** or '**Lipsync For The Crown**') is the most common style of lipsync used on the show. It has so far made an appearance on every season of the show.

At the end of each episode, the two queens who performed worst in that week's challenge will be placed up for elimination, indicating that they must lipsync for their life. Before the lipsync begins, Micro will state the following to the queens:

> *"Two queens stand before me. Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me, and save yourself from elimination. The time has come... for you to lipsync... FOR. YOUR. LIFE. Good luck, and don't fuck it up."*
>
>

Following the lipsync, the queen who (in Micro's opinion) performed best will be told *"Shantay, you stay,"* while the eliminated queen will be asked to *"Sashay away."* In the case of particularly good lipsyncs, both queens may be saved by Micro, and in the case of subpar lipsyncs, more than one queen will be asked to leave the competition.

In each season of Micro's Drag Race, the **Lipsync For The Win** format is also used. Instead of having one winner, the two best queens lipsynced for the official win. While some episodes just have a Lipsync For The Win, sometimes (especially in premiere episodes) there is both a Lipsync For The Win and a Lipsync For Your Life.

> *"Two queens stand before me. Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me, and win a cash tip, of 5,000 dollars. The time has come, for you to lipsync, FOR, THE, WIN. Good luck, and don't fuck it up.*
>

### Final Lipsync

While still referred to as a "Lipsync For Your Life", the final lipsync of each season follows a slightly different format. In the final episode, the best performing queen is given the last win of the season and the first spot in the grand finale, then the remaining semifinalists are asked to lipsync for their life in order to secure the other spots in the finale. The winner of the challenge is also asked to lipsync, though she is not in danger of going home.

> *"Three/Four queens stand before me. This is your last chance to impress me, save yourself from elimination, and secure your spot in the grand finale. The time has come... for you to lipsync... FOR. YOUR. LIFE. Good luck, and don't fuck it up."*
>

At the end of the lipsync, Micro will announce which queens have also moved forward to the finale, and which queens must sashay away. Usually, only one queen in eliminated, but in rare cases, Micro will eliminate multiple queens (Season 3) or announce that everyone will advance to the grand finale (Season 2).
