Please welcome a hip-hop legend,
the host of our show, LL Cool J.
Oh, man. Welcome to "Lip Sync Battle."
You know what it is. You've seen it on TV.
You've seen it online. You've seen it everywhere.
So you know the game is simple...
two stars lip-sync two songs,
and the audience decides who did it best. Okay?
And here to help me out is our color commentator.
She's a voice of the people, a party in a box.
The lovely, the talented, my girl Chrissy Teigen.
Hi, everybody!
Chrissy, you excited about tonight's show?
Very excited. You guys excited?
You look amazing.
Thank you. I had to get gussied up for this one.
Oh, yeah. Special night for you tonight.
I watched these two gentlemen rehearse,
and they are in it to win it.
And I'm a little nervous 'cause they're friends,
and they might not be after this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was a little tension.
There was some tension.
We had to separate their dressing rooms.
Like, they were close to each other.
We made them further away.
Yeah.
They didn't want to hear each other.
They're very into it. You guys excited to see them?
'Cause it's gonna be crazy.
All right. Well, let's do it.
So, are you ready for tonight's lip-sync battle?
First up is a hip-hop star, Golden Globe winner,
Grammy winner, a man cool enough to lip-sync on this stage...
Common.
His opponent is a pop and R&B star,
Golden Globe winner, as well, Grammy winner,
and he's also one of the luckiest men in the world
because win or lose, he gets to go home with Chrissy Teigen.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the man, the myth, here's John Legend.
Oh, that's nice.
We asked Chrissy if she wanted her favorite singer to go first,
and, of course, she said yes.
Common!
So, John, have a seat.
Common, come on over. You go first.
Yeah.
Okay. So, what's your first song?
My first song is something...
something real special for y'all.
It's the Jackson 5 "I Want You Back."
Here with "I Want You Back," Common.

You know, as a lyricist,
and an emcee who's written so many great songs.
It must be freeing to get out here
and just do some Mike Jack.
Oooh, yes!
Man, I felt free, and I felt the crowd, and I was like...
That was the first concert I ever seen, was the Jackson 5,
so I got to do that on this stage tonight,
on "Lip Sync," yeah.
John. John.
We were back there doing a little back-up dancing.
Yeah, man. I was having fun, man.
I forgot I was in a competition, man.
I was helping him too much.
This happens to us all the time, honestly.
He's too nice.
I try to fight with him, and he will not.
Ever.
Like, I try to get it.
He won't do it. Say something mean, John.
That was terrible!
You...
Well, Common, you deserve
a first-class seat right over there.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
John, come on up.
Round of applause for John Legend.
Hey!
What's your first song?
Well, you know,
all these rappers are singing nowadays, auto tune,
so I decided I'm strictly rapping tonight.
Come on.
First we gonna take it to the dirty, dirty,
with some juvenile.
"Slow Motion."
Ladies and gentlemen, only on "Lip Sync Battle"
can you see the great John Legend doing...
... "Slow Motion" by Juvenile. Let's rock.

You seemed like you had something
to get off your chest with that, man.
Oh, you know.
I've been buttoned-up too long singing this R&B, man.
So, what is the difference between, you know,
sitting behind a piano and signing one of your classics
that everybody loves and getting out here
and, you know, working the crowd with "Slow motion for me"?
I never really sang about
being somebody's outside dick before.
Sorry, mom.
On that note, Common.
Well, I have been somebody's outside dick before, man.
So, John, grab a chair next to Common for a second.
We all just saw lip sync at its best.
Let's hear from our color commentator.
And I know she will be fair and unbiased.
Chrissy, what did you think?
Yeah, what the was that?
Okay, Common comes out sweet as pie, adorable,
makes his way to the front of the stage.
I'm like, "yeah, baby, give me"... like,
"yeah, this is so cute."
John...
... he was slapping ass in slow motion.
Like, he was... I was like, "why so slow?"
Unh. Unh.
I'm so disturbed by John right now.
That was so weird.
I'm so sorry.
You pay my bills.
It's okay.
You're so good.
But, oh, my gosh.
It's okay. It's okay.
Thank you.
She's not voting. She's not voting.
Unbelievable. That was amazing.
We'll be right back with more from these two great
singer/rapper/actors/producer extraordinaires.
They'll be great lip-syncers here on "Lip Sync Battle."
Welcome back to "Lip Sync Battle."
And now it gets serious. Round two.
Let's kick things off by checking out
how Common got in game shape tonight.
Let know right now
is you watching the steps of a champion.
Well, let me tell you.
John hasn't been talking smack to me,
'cause when he see me, he looking scared.
He looking like he ain't ready for what I'm about to deliver.
I don't know if his name will be "John Legend" no more.
He might just be "John Present" for one day.
It ain't gonna be legendary, you know?
If you watch this performance, you gonna feel, like,
the vibrations of me singing.
That's how good a lip-syncer I am.
You got to understand, man, I'm a warrior.
I'm a competitor. I'm a winner.
Hey, man, you my man. We doing our thing.
We doing what we love to do together.
But right now, it's competition.
And the competition is none.
Yo, I'mma be sick right now.

Welcome back to "Lip Sync Battle."
Let's take a look at John Legend getting in the zone.
Oh, just getting ready, you know.
In case I take my shirt off or something.
I have this really special alter-ego
that is a great rapper.
My true calling is to be the greatest emcee ever.
This is all about me showing people what I was born to do.
My running man was so off-beat.
That's okay.
My secret weapon is gonna help me win this competition.
I love its curves and its edges and its perfect imperfections.
I don't want him to trip.
My last name is Legend. His name is Common.
Who do you think is gonna win this?
I am the greatest emcee of all time.
I will lip-sync the hell out of these songs.
I will dominate this competition,
and you will be defeated.

are used to you showing this much chest, either, John.
All right, now. All right, yeah.
All right, get over there. You gonna make the Rock jealous.
All right.
Now, Chrissy...
Yeah.
What'd you think?
I'm like... I'm, like, racking my brain.
I'm like, "how crazy is this prenup?"
I'm, like, looking for other husbands right now.
I don't even know what to say.
No, I love you. That was good!
Thank you.
I've never seen you move like that ever.
Like, that fast.
Right? Right? Right?
Slow. It's a slow thing.
John, I'm so sorry I'm tough on you.
Let me say something nice.
I still love you. I still love you.
I love you so much. Uh, that's all. Yeah.
I'm gonna get a lot of sympathy votes from the crowd.
