Dressed in a jumpsuit, Ross never misses a beat of the difficult song. Going up against co-star Anthony Anderson, Ross is the clear winner of the evening's performances.

The actress then recreated mom Diana Ross' music video for "Work That Body."
"I decided to recreate my mom's 'Work That Body' video from 1981 as a fun experiment and a surprise for my mama! And ODE to her!" Ross admitted in a statement to E! "
While she has so, so many incredible moments to choose from, this one had an impact on me. At first I wasn't sure why, but in true 'Tracee' fashion I became a little obsessed. I like to study these things until I am clear about what I'm seeing, what it's making me feel, and why," she said to E!
Anderson, on his end, channeled Cee Lo Green for "Forget You."
Donned in some rhinestone bedazzled sunglasses, Anderson dances in front of a set that looks like an old-fashioned diner, with a few backup dancers for assistance.
Spike TV's "Lip Sync Battle" pits celebrities against one another to battle it out for lip synch supremacy.
Hosted by LL Cool J and Chrissy Teigen, "Lip Sync Battle" was recently renewed for a third season. The 20 half-hour episodes will be taped later this year, Kevin Kay, the cable television network's president, said in a statement to Deadline.
"Lip Sync Battle is a multiplatform, pop-culture phenomenon that has played an integral role in delivering a new and broader audience to Spike," Kay said in a statement.
Deadline also reported that the series also has amassed over half a billion video streams since its launch last April, with over 50 million alone for the Season 2 premiere featuring Channing Tatum vs. Jenna Dewan-Tatum.
The premiere date for Season 3 will be announced in the near future.
