Singer Jason Derulo will be facing off against a former American Idol finalist in this week’s all-new Lip Sync Battle. The “Wiggle” and “Talk Dirty” singer will be battling Katharine McPhee, who came in second in American Idol Season 5 to Taylor Hicks (Soul Patrol, right guys?) and has since starred in the NBC musical Smash and currently the CBS drama Scorpion.
Both Derulo and McPhee are pretty terrific singers, but since this is Lip Sync Battle, we won’t be hearing either of their actual voices. Instead, viewers will watch as they mouth along to some of the best and most memorable songs out there, probably while wearing some crazy costumes, which is exactly what Derulo has on in the sneak peek below.
So which artist is Jason Derulo trying to be? That would be Rick James, as the singer wears one hell of a wig and stages an epic performance of “Super Freak,” complete with background dancers. What will Katharine McPhee perform as she tries to top Derulo’s theatrics? We’ll have to wait and see what she does this Thursday.
Lip Sync Battle is hosted by LL Cool J and Chrissy Tiegen and airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on Spike. Check out the sneak peek from this Thursday’s episode below:
