Melanie Field versus Brendan Scannell is the seventeenth episode of Lip Sync Battle's fourth season. As always, host LL Cool J and commentator Chrissy Teigen are on-hand to introduce and react to the performances of the stars.
Melanie Field, an actress known for her roles in Heathers and Unreal, takes on comedian Brendan Scannell, a star of the Netflix show Bonding. The show begins with a brief interview with each competitor, in which they reveal a little about themselves and what they hope to achieve in the battle.
The first round begins with Melanie taking the stage first. She kicks off with a rousing rendition of "Love is a Battlefield" by Pat Benatar. Melanie begins by donning a military-style jacket and hat before launching into the performance.
Next up is Brendan, who chooses "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys. Brendan opts for a playful approach, donning a matching outfit with his backup dancers and delivering a cheeky, high-energy performance.
Round two sees Melanie up against Brendan once more. This time, Melanie chooses "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion. The performance is a tribute to the epic romance of Titanic, with Melanie complete with a full-length gown and a glittering backdrop.
Brendan's second performance is to "Like a Prayer" by Madonna. Once again, he eschews a straightforward lip sync for a more theatrical interpretation. This time, Brendan is joined by a group of nuns, as well as Cher, Elton John, and the Virgin Mary herself.
The final round is the tiebreaker, and both contestants bring their A-game. Melanie's third performance is "Vogue" by Madonna, complete with a vintage-style outfit, while Brendan performs "Cry Me a River" by Justin Timberlake.
The judges praise both performers for their energy and commitment to the performances, but ultimately, one must be declared the winner. The tension is high as LL Cool J and Chrissy Teigen reveal the final scores, and the episode culminates in a thrilling victory for the champion.
