Nicole, Derek, welcome
to Lip Sync Battle.

- Welcome back!
- Thank you! Thank you for having us!

Let's get this thing started.

Nicole, you're gonna start things off.

Derek, you have a seat in the VIP.

(cheers and applause)

What Shania Twain song smash hit

did you choose for us to go first with?

There's something that I've been wanting

to come out with for some time,

and... and say, and I think

right now's the right time to do it.

- I love it, I love it. Well, you know what?
- In this song.

- (cheers and applause)
- LL: From what I understand,

this is something you
wanted to play with.

I'll take this one.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Nicole Scherzinger!

(cheers and applause)

- Chrissy: Wow.
- (LL laughing)

Beautiful song choice.

That was great. I love
when we have performers on.

- What's my score?
- Chrissy: I know!

- Wow.
- You don't have to do that again, baby.

- I thought that was awesome.
- How did that feel?

How did that feel seeing that, Shania?

I'm gonna have to change the
way I perform that song now.

- (laughter)
- (cheers and applause)

It's inspiring.

I need to go out there,
definitely with more oomph.

You sold that. That was amazing!

Derek, I mean, you and
Nicole were friends,

but now it's Lip Sync Battle,
I mean, how do you feel about this?

I think we might be
taking that friendship

to another level after this.

Geez! Just kidding!

(laughing) L is like...

"Really?"

No, I'm just, you know,
I'm just a witness.

I'm an innocent bystander.

I honestly want to stay right over here.

- (stammering)
- (LL laughing)

Alright, Nicole, you
can head over to the VIP.

- Make some noise!
- (crowd cheering)

Alright!

Derek, it is your turn!

Now Derek, Nicole went
for the heart strings.

- I mean, which Shania song are you gonna do?
- Oh my goodness.

Here's the problem, actually. Honestly.

Cause the songs are so hooky,

like you just can't get
them out of your head.

I can't even remember
what song I'm doing now.

- (laughing)
- Because that one's going in my head.

So hopefully when the track kicks in,

it'll all come back to me.

- (cheers and applause)
- Alright, so ladies and gentlemen...

Derek Hough!

(cheers and applause)

- (laughing)
- I love that he's like,

"I... I'm not sure if I'm gonna... "

(imitating drums)

Like, what the?

So Shania, when you recorded that song,

did you ever envision, like,
someone dancing like that?

Like the way Derek just did his thing

on stage on Lip Sync Battle?

You... you have to come and
choreograph this for my tour,

- because like...
- (cheering)

Yes!

Honestly, I'll... I'll back up.

I'll be your back-up dancer all day.

- Oh my...
- He's the best.

- (laughter)
- (cheering)

Derek, you can head over to the VIP.

Now, this Shania Twain inspired episode

is off to an amazing start.

Nicole and Derek are
going country pop with it.

I'm feeling it.

I am dying to know what could
possibly be better than all of that.

I guess we'll find out after this.

- It is Lip Sync Battle.

LSB is back.

Nicole is ready to loosen up her buttons

and kick off Round Two.

No stranger to competition,

she knows what it takes
to come out on top.

Let's see how she put in
the work to do just that.

(man speaking) _

Um, lip syncing.

(laughs)

Do you need any help with rehearsal?

- Huh?
- She's mega competitive.

- He is so competitive!
- I am not competitive.

You know why? Cause he doesn't need to.

Because he's gonna do five
pirouettes, and be like, "Oh, what?"

- (Derek laughing)
- It's just how I breathe.

(laughing) Shut up!

There's like no one else like Shania.

You know? I mean, she's
the country pop queen.

Your new single's my jam.

Nicole: And, like, I love her
song That Don't Impress Me Much,

and Man! I feel Like a Woman.

It's all female empowerment,
and she's just beautiful.

(cheers and applause)

She owned it. You owned it!

Sometimes you gotta get

Cause I wanna win this competition.

(cheers and applause)

LL: So... Nicole?

You can, uh, do some snow
angels over in the VIP.

Have a seat.

It looks like a battle of the year.

Nothing like a good girl power anthem.

And I can't wait to see
what Derek has thought up.

And after the break, we all find out.

This is Lip Sync Battle.

♪ Oh, life's about to get good ♪

♪ Oh, life's about to get good ♪

- Whoo!

Lip Sync Battle is back,

and this salute to Shania
Twain has been amazing.

Now Derek Hough, a master dancer,

and returning battler
gets his time to shine

once again on this stage.

I hope he put together a
routine to come out on top.

Derek: Nicole and I know each other

because we actually competed
on Dancing With the Stars.

We actually won season 10.

We've been friends ever since,

and you know, she's a great girl.

A lot of fun. She's
very competitive too,

so I don't know what she's gonna do,

but I know it's gonna be good.

When I was younger, I
was a hopeless romantic,

and Shania Twain had
those beautiful songs.

She was stunning.

(mouths)

And what I wanna say to
her, basically, is like...

"I've had a crush on you since I was...

as long as I...

as long as I can remember."
I can't even say that word.

I wanna say that I feel confident.

I wanna say that I feel...

sure of myself, but I'm not gonna lie,

I'm a little nervous. (laughing)

(cheers and applause)

I'm so glad there are so
many people here tonight to...

witness my 16-year-old
fantasy come true.

I love you.

- This is a big moment.

I've had a crush on Shania
from the beginning of time.

- And this is...
- (cheering)

I don't know if you know
this, but... that was real.

So, um, Shania, you came here.

You're celebrating. We have
all your wonderful music.

This beautiful time,
this beautiful moment.

How did that feel?

It was beautiful.

And I really did feel swept off my feet.

- But this is gonna be amazing!
- (cheers and applause)

Shania, the people chose Derek,

but how do you feel about... ?

How do you think they both did?

Nicole, first of all,
I just want to say,

very down to Earth.
