#GuiltyPleasureConfessional: Lip Sync Battle is My Shit

I’m not big into Karaoke although it seems although I feel like I should be. Jordan, my BNP Blerd-in-arms, is really ’bout that life but I fall onto a different spectrum. I’ve come to realize that for some reason I absolutely fuck with lip syncing, and I have no idea why. I just enjoy mouthing the words to songs and gettin’ free with that shit. That’s always been a thing for me since I was young. I can’t tell you where this shit started with me but I just fuck with lip synching, man. Which is why I literally spent the entire Saturday afternoon catching up on Spike TV’s Lip Sync Battle. Lip Synch Battle is a show hosted by LL Cool J and Chrissy Teigen. Celebrities come on and battle each other in lip syncing, as seen on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon which all started when Jim Krasinski introduced this idea to Fallon as a game he and his friends did. Krasinski then helped Fallon make it into a show. [Let’s also note that this was already an event on Ru Paul’s Drag Race and its popularity goes to show how the mainstream takes from gay culture.] You might be like what’s so special ’bout celebs lip synching? Bruh, this shit is fucking serious. Here’s the thing: to win a Lip Sync Battle, you gotta let go of any shame, pride, or self-doubt that may inhabit you. For 2 rounds you gotta go all the fuck out.

LSB got celebs out here doing choreography, paying homage in themes, and most importantly, straight up cosplaying as singers, divas, rappers… basically as other celebs. …
