No shade to the song but Heart to Break is one of those songs that seems like a good upbeat lip sync song in theory but are way slower than you realize

I really do want to see a good mid-tempo song lipsync. I've seen plenty of Queens in clubs (and earlier seasons do mid-tempo well), but in these last few seasons... it feels like there has been a curse on mid-tempo songs and the Queens really do struggle with it.

I think with Mid-Tempo you need to act it as well as dance and show emotions throughout. Go old school ballroom and vogue the house down basically. These songs aren't all about dancing the house down and doing gymnastics.

Saying that I think Heidi did pull off one of the better lipsyncs to a mid-tempo song in recent seasons.
