Yeah.
Okay, so we asked Anna who should go first, and she pointed out that as an Oscar nominee, legally, she should go first.

That's a marionette that I do every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and it's kind of my thing.
- Pretty freaky.
- Yeah, it's kind of my thing.
It's not quite like that.
It's like So, Anna, come on over.
It's your turn.
Come on over.
Now, I know you have something special prepared.
That's right, I do.
This song is from my heart, and I'm excited to finally share it with the world.
So, this is something that you've never told the world.
They're getting a sneak peek into the depth of your heart.
Into the old ticker.
- Into the old ticker.
- Yeah.
All right, well, ladies and gentlemen, going in one direction, and that's straight to the top.
Here is Anna Kendrick.
She been my queen since we were sixteen we want the same things, we dream the same dreams all right all right I got it all 'cause she is the one her mom calls me "love," her dad calls me "son" all right all right kisses like cream, her walk is so mean and every jaw drop when she's in those jeans all right all right I don't exist if I don't have her the sun doesn't shine, the world doesn't turn all right all right but I know I know I know for sure everybody wanna steal my girl everybody wanna take her heart away couple billion in the whole wide world find another one 'cause she belongs to me everybody wanna steal my girl everybody wanna take her heart away couple billion in the whole wide world find another one 'cause she belongs to me Emily! Oh, wait a minute.
Can we get a close-up of this shirt? Yeah.
Wait.
Can I get a close-up of that shirt? That's just me I'm not gonna lie.
It sort of hurts my heart.
Anna, is John's significant other aware of ? Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, she knows.
She was super-excited.
She was like, "I won't tell him.
" - Emily? - Oh, my god.
She knew about this? Yeah, Emily knows.
Wow.
She was supposed to be here, but she's in Dubai.
- Oh, boy.
- Classic Emily.
Listen, if you want to know what I think about that song Oh.
I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna go.
It's been fun.
That was a dick move.
Chrissy Teigen, what do you think? This is a tough one, I got to say.
I liked Anna a lot, because she was no frills, just talent.
She didn't have to, like, surprise everybody and be a marionette or be weird.
She didn't need amazing dance moves? I will say, John, I thought you would give us Joey, but we got Justin.
- Thank you.
- I'm really happy for that.
- Thank you very much.
- Ooh.
Bye, bye, bye John gave me a little wink, too, just then.
Yeah.
All right, we'll be back in a moment with more of Anna Kendrick and John Krasinski on "Lip Sync Battle.
" She belongs to me Out that door, baby, bye, bye, bye Welcome back to "Lip Sync Battle.
" Now, round 2 is when our stars pull out all the stops.
They can do whatever it takes.
For one of them, it's gonna be a win for the ages.
For the other, a date that will live on in lip-sync infamy.
John is the one with his rep on the line.
Let's see how he got prepared for tonight.
A lot of people know that I came up with this thing, so it's my idea.
They take real good care of me.
This is Anna Kendrick's room, okay? This is what plebes have as their dressing room.
Come on in.
It's a really nice room for my dog.
Let me show you where I'm hanging out where they put the creator.
Blam double doors, body guard.
This is my bartender just hanging out, talk about stuff.
He gives me ideas, I tell him they're bad stuff like that.
I've been lip-syncing since I was 2 1/2.
As soon as I learned words, I made a very bold decision to not say them, and I lip-synched them, so instead of "mama" and "dada," I just went Anna, I just think that you're really special and you're tiny and adorable, and what I'm gonna do tonight is I'm gonna put you in my pocket.
I'm gonna put you in my pocket, and I'm gonna walk up to receive the belt, give my speech with you in my pocket.
That's what's gonna happen tonight.
Eat it.
_ _ You know Every now and then I think you might like to hear something from us nice and easy.
But there's just one thing.
You see, we never ever do nothing nice and easy.
We always do it nice and rough.
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy.
But then we're gonna do the finish rough.
This is the way we do "Proud Mary.
" Listen to the story now.
I left a good job in the city Workin' for the man every night and day and I never lost one minute of sleepin' I was worryin' 'bout the way that things might have been big wheel keep on turnin' ooh, the proud Mary keep on burnin' rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river the river I left a good job in the city workin' for the man every night and day and I never lost one minute of sleepin' worryin' 'bout the way things might have been turnin' burnin' rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river do-do-do-do do-do-do-do do-do-do-do Hercules! Hercules! Hercules! Hercules! Hercules! Hercules! Hercules! Hercules! - John.
- Yes? How did you feel up there as you completely embodied the essence of Tina Turner? - Well, can I be honest with you? - Yes.
I blacked out.
How'd it go? For real, I don't remember anything.
Chrissy.
Wow.
Wow.
What did you think of John's performance? Sorry.
Hold on.
Before you answer.
Oh.
Totally changes everything.
I'm pretty surprised, I got to say.
I didn't know you'd pull out all the stops.
It's your own show, I guess, so The things you'll do, John.
Oh, thanks.
Fired.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just hold that thought.
Coming up, Anna has a song with a really bouncy beat.
We'll be right back with more of "Lip Sync Battle.
" Welcome back to "Lip Sync Battle.
" John just showed us what he's made of, and Anna's turn is next.
But first, let's check out Anna getting ready for tonight's "Lip Sync Battle.
" I think rehearsals went well.
I think the energy of the crowd's really gonna help me get there.
I don't like to peak during rehearsal, so I'm just really excited to feel the vibe in the room.
_ _ I think that John should be afraid of me, generally.
This is kind of my area.
He might do it in the shower, but this is my life.
You know my song, don't you? 'Cause you keep asking me.
I'm not sure that amateurs should try lip-syncing.
You got to stay limber.
You got to have an incredibly healthy diet.
It's serious business, so Terrified.
Just terrified.
I literally hate you.
I'm gonna be singing a little ditty about the female form.
It's very tasteful, very well-written.
