MTV BASE Premieres “Lip Sync Battle” Africa

  MTV (DStv channel 130) has announced the premiere of a local version of its global hit entertainment show, Lip Sync Battle Africa. International superstar rapper, LL Cool J made this big announcement on MTV’s social media platforms on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

I actually started watching Lip Sync Battle after an instagram post by E!News. They referred to Channing Tatum and his Wife as Lip Sync Battle champs and to avoid feeling left behind when people use it as a reference i decided to download all the episodes and i gotta admit, It ain't half bad. Its like a music face off something like 'Yo mama'. Only difference is the celebrities sing and compete amongst themselves.I noticed that the celebs that compete aren't musicians. Mostly,Actors,Actresses, Talk show hosts. I guess that's what makes it so interesting. The host is LL Cool J and John Legend's wife 'Chrissy'... 

I heard word on the street that, The weekly show which will be recorded in Johannesburg,South Africa will go live in April of 2016, with the first season comprising of 13 half hour episodes featuring vocal showdowns between top celebrities and entertainment figures, complete with dancers, wigs, costumes, props and tons of swag. Each battle will consist of 2 celebrities “syncing” or miming to popular music tracks of their choice. Each contestant must sync to two songs – one of which will be by an African artist. The winner is chosen by the live studio audience.

Lip Sync Battle Africa will be hosted by two celebrities following in the footsteps of the US series, version starring LL Cool J and Chrissy Teigen. Names of the local hosts will be announced at a later date.
It turns out, Lip Sync Battle is officially one of the most infectious TV programmes ever to come out of the Viacom stable with nine signed local production deals in the UK, China, Chile, Canada, Indonesia, Philippines, Norway, Poland and Vietnam.
You can watch Lip Sync Battle Africa on MTV every Thursday from 14th April at 7:50PM and on MTV Base at 10:30PM every Saturday from 16th April.
