Monday, July 13th, 2015- Central Park Summer Stage
Last night Central Park's Summer Stage Festival welcomed SPIKE TV's most popular new show,'LIP SYNC BATTLE', for its first live show ever! It was hosted by Queens' Finest, Rapper/Actor and Icon, LL COOL J and co-hosted by model Chrissy Teigen.
New York fans were in for a treat as 'Dancing with the Stars' siblings, Derek and Julianne Hough, battled for the LSB Belt. The show, free to the public, included a pre-show performance by Hip-Hop Legend Doug E. Fresh and a sneak-peak of a future segment that will star 'Broad City'ladies, Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson. LL COOL J even graced the crowd with an impromptu performance of his timeless hit, "Around the Way Girl" and a collabo of "La Di Da Di" with Doug E. Fresh.
After two rounds of fierce competition and awesome costumes, in the end Derek Hough's lip-sync rendition of "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by the Darkness, complete with Justin Hawkins' big hair, won him the title of Lip Sync Battle Champion! Little sister Julianne wasn't too crushed after losing the rematch, since she came out on top in the first battle. Be sure to tune in to SPIKE TV each and every Thursday at 10pm e.s.t. for new episodes of 'LIP SYNC BATTLE' and watch Hollywood's hottest celebrities sync their hearts out!
