Talking &#8217;bout 1-2-3 &#8212; the first three celebrity contenders in the special live Lip Sync Battle that is.

The Michael Jackson-themed affair will feature the talents of Taraji P. Henson, Hailee Steinfeld, and Neil Patrick Harris, EW can exclusively reveal. The three actors should prove stiff competition for each other &#8212; and other contestants still to be named &#8212; given their extensive musical backgrounds.

Henson made her singing debut in Hustle and Flow and went on to perform the Oscar-winning song from the film during the Academy Awards, while Harris has Broadway chops and has proved his song-and-dance skills hosting the Tonys, Emmys, and Oscars. Steinfeld has showcased her vocal chops in the Pitch Perfect films, and she released the album Haiz in 2015 and has featured on other artists&#8217; tracks.

&#8220;Michael Jackson&#8217;s groundbreaking sound and style changed the course of music, videos and Live performance forevermore,&#8221; said Casey Patterson, Executive Producer. &#8220;This line up of incredible superstar performers are inspired and ready to bring it LIVE on 1.18.18!&#8221;
 
I'll definitely watch this since at the same day Spike turns into Paramount Network.
 
Taraji ha? it should be good, she can 'mean mug' with the best of them.. a little MJ attitude we'll get from her for sure!
 
I like how they are hyping this as a special event!!

Don't get me wrong, it was a good show. It's just amazes me how no one can pull of the things MJ did. Also, who do you guys think should have one or who did you want to win?
 
just seen a few clips of it. i loved it. really was great to see the music videos re-done again on stage and looked like they where all having fun.
 
But how bad did they actually lip-sync?
or how bad was it synced by the TV station?

good promo for mj though, liked it
