On a recent episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, James and Lizzo engaged in a lively and energetic dance battle that got everyone on their feet. The talk show host, James Corden, expressed his admiration for the dance hits of the 1980s, claiming that modern music just doesn’t match up to the energy and excitement of those classic jams.

Lizzo, never one to back down from a challenge, immediately jumped in to defend today’s music scene. She declared that she is the one who gets people out of their seats and that modern music can certainly get the party started, even if it’s not on the same level as 80s hits.

This friendly banter quickly escalated into a full-blown “80s v Today Dance Bop Riff-Off.” Although initially denying that they would engage in such a battle, Lizzo convinced James to close his eyes and believe that they could make it happen. And to everyone’s surprise, the Philharmonic magically appeared, ready to accompany the dance battle.

The dance battle commenced with Lizzo performing a lively rendition of “Watermelon Sugar High” by Harry Styles. Her infectious energy and powerful vocals set the stage on fire. James, not to be outdone, responded with an impressive performance of “You Spin Me Round” by Dead or Alive. The crowd went wild, and the dance battle continued with both performers giving it their all.

Lizzo, feeling confident, delivered a stunning performance of Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” showcasing her vocal range and captivating stage presence. James, in an attempt to win the battle, followed up with a mesmerizing rendition of BTS’s “Butter,” impressing everyone with his dance moves.

As the battle came to a close, both Lizzo and James acknowledged each other’s talent and agreed that it had been a fun and exhilarating experience. Lizzo even brought the house down with a powerful performance of her hit song “Juice,” leaving the audience in awe.

Ultimately, Lizzo‘s infectious energy and undeniable talent won the day. James gracefully conceded and admitted that her performance was unbeatable. The dance battle brought a nostalgic touch to The Late Late Show and proved that, while the 80s may hold a special place in our hearts, there’s still room for today’s music to make its mark.
