Did Queer Eye’s Fab Five Outperform Britney Spears and Beyoncé on Lip Sync Battle?
Let’s make one thing clear: no one can compete with the stage presence that Beyoncé, Britney Spears, and Lady Gaga deliver. But diehard fans love to try their best to get really close to channeling their hair-whipping, make-you-double-take dance moves.
Enter Queer Eye’s Fab Five, also known as Bobby Berk, Karamo Brown, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, and Jonathan Van Ness. On Thursday, the beloved group took a break from their Netflix duties to pop over to the Paramount Network for one of the greatest Lip Sync Battle showdowns of all time.
Where to begin? Let’s start with the Britney moves.
Berk, Porowski, and France hit the stage to perform Spears’s “Work B-,” and not only did they sashay their way down the runway with the same tight choreography she’s known for, but they also earned an A+ in the costume department. The trio borrowed inspiration from Spears’ wardrobe and dressed in coordinating looks from her “Oops!...I Did It Again,” “Circus,” and “Toxic” music videos. Enjoy:
Van Ness and Brown were on deck and turned to one of the early aughts' most dynamic duos, Lady Gaga and Beyoncé. Just like Beyoncé did in the music video for "Telephone," Brown threw on a bejeweled royal blue jacket and a bang-adorned wig while Van Ness wore a leather jacket à la Gaga with twirled soda cans in his long locks. Another must-watch:
And just when we thought their performances couldn’t get better, all five guys joined forces to pay tribute to one of Beyoncé’s most celebrated live shows: her Coachella set.
They wore matching hooded yellow cropped sweatshirts with denim cutoffs and sparkly knee-high boots that looked a lot like the same PVC-covered Christian Louboutin boots the brand custom made for the singer. And as Beyoncé would say: they really did come to slay.
Van Ness shimmied from side to side:
While Brown worked that wig:
France gave us a Bey-level hair toss:
And both Berk and Porowski leaned to one side to perfect the group pose:
If you’re wondering how, exactly, we reacted after watching, let Lip Sync Battle co-host Chrissy Teigen do the talking:
Netflix, we have an idea: How about having the Fab Five pay a visit to Britney Spears for the next season of Queer Eye? Just a thought...
