Lip Sync Battle on Carnival Ship

The main event everyone was waiting for on the Carnival Horizon was a unique Lip Sync Battle between Queen Latifah and Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliot.

First up on stage was CEO Arnold Donald and Carnival President Christine Duffy got the crowd warmed up to The Black Eyed Peas’ ‘I Got a Feeling (Tonight’s Gonna Be a Good Night)’.

Elliot took the stage next with gold, glittery pants, and a colossal blonde wig as he performed Whitesnake’s “Here I Go Again.” Queen Latifah took the stage next with a yellow raincoat dress as she belted out “It’s Raining Men” by The Weather Girls.

Both performances were complete with enthusiasm, backup dancers, and some serious outfits. Voting was done by crowd applause and Queen Latifah was the clear winner.
