Ep 8. Big Bird vs. Jason Schwartzman

Big Bird vs. Jason Schwartzman is the eighth episode of season 5 of the popular show Lip Sync Battle. In this episode, two celebrities from different backgrounds and with different styles will battle it out on stage to see who has the best lip sync skills. On one side, we have Big Bird, the famous yellow bird from Sesame Street, who is known for his innocent demeanor and sing-along songs. On the other side, we have the talented actor and musician, Jason Schwartzman, who has played in movies like Rushmore and The Grand Budapest Hotel.

During the show, both contestants will choose two songs each that they will lip sync to. The audience will then vote for the best performance, and the winner of each round will move onto the final round. The first to choose their song is Big Bird, who surprisingly chooses the hit song "Uptown Funk" by Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson. The audience is excited to see how the yellow bird will perform such a popular song, and Big Bird doesn't disappoint. He starts off by remixing the song with a hint of Sesame Street's famous jingle, slowly building up the crowd's anticipation. When the beat drops, Big Bird emerges in a colorful suit and sunglasses, busting out the dance moves to his own unique version of Uptown Funk. Everyone in the crowd is on their feet, cheering for the unexpected star of the show.

Next up is Jason Schwartzman, who chooses to lip sync to the classic song "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. Schwartzman enters the stage with a dramatic entrance, wearing a glittering cape that immediately catches the eye of the audience. He starts the song off slow, with just a hint of drama in his expression, but when the popular chorus comes in, he strips off his cape, revealing a sparkling suit underneath. Schwartzman's performance is full of energy, with dance moves that match the beat of the song perfectly. The crowd can't keep their eyes off him, and they're laughing and cheering throughout the entire performance.

For the second round, Big Bird chooses to perform "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. This emotional song is a surprising choice for the yellow bird, who usually sings happy and upbeat songs. However, Big Bird proves that he can handle any song, as he delivers a heartfelt performance that leaves the audience in awe. His rendition of the song is accompanied by a stunning visual display, featuring a sea of stars that swirls around him, creating a magical atmosphere. When the song comes to an end, the crowd gives Big Bird a standing ovation, impressed with his talent.

Jason Schwartzman chooses "Kiss" by Prince for his second song, and this is where he truly shines. He enters the stage dressed in a leather jacket and sunglasses, channeling the iconic look of Prince himself. Schwartzman's lip-syncing skills are on full display during this performance, along with his confident stage presence. He seduces the crowd with his moves, and every time he throws off his jacket or strikes a pose, the audience goes wild. By the end of the song, Schwartzman has won over the crowd, and even Big Bird is dancing along.

As the final round approaches, it's anyone's game. The audience is split between the two contestants, each with their own unique style and talent. Big Bird chooses "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X, a song that has been popular with audiences of all ages. The yellow bird once again surprises everyone with his energetic performance, complete with cowboy hats and a horse prop. The crowd is cheering and swaying along to the beat, and Big Bird looks like he's having the time of his life on stage.

Jason Schwartzman's final song is "Smooth" by Santana feat. Rob Thomas. Dressed in a Cuban-style outfit, Schwartzman shows off his dance moves and lip-syncing abilities like never before. He brings a Latin flavor to the stage, and the audience can't help but be captivated by his performance. Every time he sings the chorus, "Give me your heart, make it real or else forget about it," he looks directly into the crowd, and it's clear that he means every word.

At the end of the night, the audience votes for their favorite performance, and the winner of the episode is crowned. Will it be the lovable Big Bird or the talented Jason Schwartzman? You'll have to watch the episode to find out!
