Chrissy!

I very rarely get to see this

little ripped body on
Long Island Medium,

and I'm so excited for this!

I knew you had mental energy,

but I didn't know you had
so much physical energy,

and I'm... I'm exhausted...

- I don't know. I'm shot.
- ...from watching.

Talking to dead people
is so much easier.

Nick, what could you read from Theresa's
performance? What did you read?

I mean, that was pretty hardcore.

This is like some WWE. I walked
into a battlefield right now.

- Thank you.
- That was really awesome.

You did a great job. So, Theresa,

- you go on over to the V.I.P. for a minute.
- All right.

Nick! Roll on over here.

Oh no, no, you can keep that.

I'll hold on to this for a sec.

You can keep that for a second.

So... how you doing?

- I'm doing pretty good.
- Thank you for coming.

- Thank you.
- Thank you for having me, LL.

That's awesome.

I'm glad I got to say that sentence,

"Thank you for having me, LL."

I've always... that's pretty awesome.

So... it's pretty...
it's a good feeling.

All right so, Nick,
what song did you choose?

I chose Summer of '69 by Bryan Adams.

Oh yeah!

Ladies and gentlemen, Nick Swardson!

♪ I got my first real six-string ♪

♪ Bought it at the five-and-dime ♪

♪ Played it till my fingers bled ♪

♪ It was the summer of '69 ♪

♪ Me and some guys from school ♪

- Oh my God!
- ♪ Had a band and we tried real hard ♪

♪ Jimmy quit and Jody got married ♪

♪ I should've known we'd never get far ♪

♪ Oh, when I look back now ♪

♪ That summer seemed to last forever ♪

♪ And if I had the choice ♪

♪ Ya, I'd always want to be there ♪

♪ Those were the best days of my life ♪

♪ Oh yeah ♪

♪ Back in the summer of '69 ♪

♪ Oh ♪

♪ Man, we were killin' time ♪

♪ We were young and restless ♪

♪ We needed to unwind ♪

♪ I guess nothin' can last forever ♪

♪ Forever, no ♪

♪ Yeah! ♪

♪ Back in the summer of '69 ♪

Chrissy!

Oh, man!

How would you describe Nick's energy?

Oh... I-I know that number well,

not the year, just the number.

- You like that number?
- No, I'm just kidding.

I... huh, we've been together
for a long time now, so...

Not really.

I feel you. I'm going
to leave that alone.

Listen, Theresa, how would you
describe what Nick just did?

- What did you think? - Oh, you know
what, Nick? I was very nice to you.

You were making me think like,

"Oh, I'm just a comedian.

"I don't do this. I don't know.

I've lip-synced. I was
drunk at a karaoke bar."

This Lip Sync Battle just for real.

Oh.

Okay...

Okay, Nick, you head over to the V.I.P.

That does it for round one.

We've all got that '69 feeling.

Next stop, round two,
where the competition

amps up a few notches,

and the stars take it to new heights.

Come on back!

It's Lip Sync Battle.

♪ It was the summer of '69 ♪

We're back with LSB!

And our contenders, Theresa and
Nick, have already let it be known

that they didn't come here to lose.

Now it's round two,

where the battle for the belt
takes on a whole new life!

Before we bring her out,

let's take a look at how Theresa

put together the
performance of her dreams.

I'm just so excited to be here!

You guys ready for the battle?

- Yeah.
- I'm not.

So this is where
the practice is gonna be?

This is my first time, nobody judge me.

I'm not a dancer and
I'm not even a singer.

Wait, that's it?

No, we have more time on stage.

I'm just gonna go
out there and have fun.

We don't get much time
to rehearse though.

Oh my God, hi!

Theresa Caputo!

Theresa, you want to
just go for it and try it?

Oh, yeah, you do my hair.

Okay. Don't play with it

too much, because then
I'm going to fall asleep.

I'm going to fall asleep.

Three, two...

You guys can clap better than that!

Theresa,

your pajamas are here.

How adorable! I love them!

Can you sign them,
'cause you made them for me?

Could you have everybody sign them?
Dancers and everybody?

- Theresa, we would be honored...
- Yeah, yeah.

- That's what I want.
- ...to do that for you.

- Perfect. Thank you.
- Absolutely.

These will be my keepsake jammies.

Please clear the stage.
Please clear the stage.

- Good luck, Theresa!
- Thank you! Thanks guys!

This is amazing,
I'm on the Lip Sync Battle.

One, two, three! Girls!

Oh my God, this is really happening. No!

♪ I come home in the morning light ♪

♪ My mother says, "When you
gonna live your life right?" ♪

♪ Oh mother dear, we're
not the fortunate ones ♪

♪ And girls, they wanna have fun ♪

♪ Oh girls just want to have fun ♪

♪ The phone rings in the
middle of the night ♪

♪ My father yells, "What you
gonna do with your life?" ♪

♪ Oh daddy dear, you know
you're still number one ♪

♪ But girls, they wanna have fun ♪

♪ Oh, girls just want to have ♪

♪ That's all they really want ♪

That was amazing.

It's a mess in here!

Theresa, should I give you
the Heimlich, babe?

You need a Heimlich?

Chrissy!

Chrissy!

- Oh my God!
- Are you having fun?

It has brought me back
to my two favorite boys.

That's what it came down to?

My baby, I got my boo on my pillow.

You've got the John Legend pillow?

That... brought me back, baby.

That was good.

- All right, yeah. Nick?
- Yeah.

If you were in the audience's shoes,

would you vote for Theresa
after that performance?

I thought that was pretty phenomenal.

I think...

...that was pretty great.

My favorite moment was at the end

where Theresa looked
like a cat that ate a bird

and then, like, coughed up the feathers.

You were amazing. I thought
it was a great performance.

- Thank you.
- Great song.

It made me want to have a vagina.

Well, Theresa, join the V.I.P.

You did a great job.
You did a great job.

- Thank you.
- Give her a round of applause.

You go in the V.I.P. and have a seat.

Theresa brought that
strong island flavor

with a lot of feathers.

Now Nick's under pressure to
deliver a knockout performance.

This is for the belt, y'all!

It's Lip Sync Battle.

♪ Oh ♪

♪ When the working day is done ♪

♪ Oh, girls ♪

We're back with LSB,

and the battle is taking
on a new level of ferocity

after Theresa's feathery performance.

Before we bring him out,

let's take a look at how Nick
plans to sling that belt

over his shoulder in the end.

Woo!

- How are you?
- Good, good. How are you?

Hey, everybody!

I know you're going to have strong
ideas. Why don't I show you

- what we've come up with...
- Show it, yeah.

...and then we'll pick
and chose what you like.

- Okay, cool.
- Okay?

My ass. I just got
to make sure I (bleep)

get over and up.

Ow!

That was way harder than I
thought it was going to be.

How are you?

- Good to see you, man.
- Good to see you, dude.

That's great man,
pleasure to meet you, dude.

LL Cool J is (bleep) huge.

Oh my God!

How do you feel about the roll?

- It'll be fine.
- Yeah.

- That's what I figured about that.
- But I'll just...

get off, you know what I mean
'cause you know, it's fine.

Okay here we go, we are going
to cut directly to the music.

- You got this, you got this.
- Oh my God.

Oh my God, I shouldn't have
gone to the gym five years ago.

That was super easy.

I'm zenning out right now.

Come on!

Places, please.

I go in here?

Oh my God.

That audience is like
frothing at the mouth.

All right, here we go.

♪ Well, I had me a boy,
turned him into a man ♪

♪ I showed him all the things
that he didn't understand ♪

♪ Whoa, and then I let him go ♪

♪ One, two, three, they
gonna run back to me ♪

♪ 'Cause I'm the best baby
that they never gotta keep ♪

♪ One, two, three, they
gonna run back to me ♪

♪ They always wanna come,
but they never wanna leave ♪

♪ Ex's and the oh, oh,
oh's they haunt me ♪

♪ Like gho-o-osts they want
me to make 'em all, all, all ♪

Whoa!

Yo!

- Yo.
- Oh my gosh!

Oh my God.

Oh my gosh!

Chrissy!

Did Nick pull off the pedal pushers?

Oh my God, are you kidding me?

Usually when we have
a guy perform a female song,

they go all out feminine.

I've never seen pedal
pushers and a crop top

on a dude before.

I'm so... exhausted.

I don't know how people dance.

I've never danced before in my life.

That was insane.

- That's a great song, it's by Elle King, right?
- Yeah.

- Woo-hoo.
- She's your friend.

She's my friend's daughter, so I've known
her since she was like 10 years old.

So when she started singing and
this song came out, and I was like,

"What the (bleep)?"

She's like your friend's daughter.

And then she's amazing and so
I called her and I was like,

"Hey, I'm doing Ex's & Oh's
on Lip Sync Battle."

And she was like, "What the (bleep)?"

Like she was like, "Oh my
God!" She was so excited.

So, this is an homage
to sweet Elle, so...

Hopefully...

Hopefully, I did it some justice.

The sex appeal oozes.

Well, it's definitely
oozing out of each side.

Excellent. Well, Nick, you can head
over to the V.I.P. for a second.

Rest your nerves.

Round two was out of control.

Theresa and Nick gave the
people what they came to see,

but now it's up to the audience

to chose whose performances
deserve that belt.

When we come back, the champ is crowned.

Next up on Lip Sync Battle.
