"Lady Marmalade" Is Coming To 'Lip Sync Battle'
That pre-teen me that still lives hides inside my brain is doing a hearty girl-power jig right now. Why the jig, you ask? This moment of extreme dancing is caused by the teaser video for Hayden Panettiere's upcoming performance on Lip Sync Battle. Panettiere performs "Lady Marmalade" alongside Christina Aguilera on Lip Sync Battle, which just makes the feminist jam from my childhood that much better. The song is all about taking control of one's own body, which is something pre-teen me could really get behind. Post-teen me feels pretty much the same about the song and can't wait to see the flair Panettiere adds.
From the teaser, it seems the performance will be everything I could have asked for and more. No surprises there, as "Lip Sync Battle" with hosts LL Cool J and Chrissy Teigen continues to kill it each week. (Remember Channing Tatum as Elsa? OK, this is a question I don't need to ask. We all remember Channing Tatum as Elsa. I, for one, can't/don't want to/won't unsee that.) Each second of the teaser make it seem like this episode is certainly going to lead to a glorious night to remember. The following are the best moments.
1. Look at that Wardrobe!
Hayden looks like a little baby version of Christina, and I am obsessed.
2. That Pink Fluffy Thing In The Background
What is that thing? It looks so fun.
3. Christina's Big Reveal
Be still my beating heart. She looks so classy in that pant suit.
4. When They Come Together
Delightful.
I cannot wait to see this song in its entirety. The episode premieres Thursday, February 11 at 10:00pm, and, oh, by the way, it also features Eva Longoria going against Panettiere in what I can assume is an attempt to make me actually lose it. With all these strong women dancing the night away, I'm going to be dancing right along with them. It's going to be pretty dorky looking on my side of the screen, but hey, it's the thought that counts.
