- How are you? - Hello, my brother.
I'm good, I'm good.
Happy to be here! When I first heard that I was doing this and when I first heard who I was doing this with, I was like, "Ah, pfft! I got it in the bag.
" Ne-Yo Neeee-Yoooo - So, that's how I'll work on that.
- All right.
- Thank God, we're not actually singing today.
- (both laughing) This song means a lot to me because without this particular artist there would never have been a Ne-Yo, so, yeah.
Song means a lot.
Yes, your Judgment Day will come This lip sync battle is supposed to be fun, right? Right? I'm taking all the fun out of this, okay? I'm going for blood.
Wah! I can't work like this! - (grunting) - (shouts) - (laughing) - (grunting) Taye Diggs, you will not be the same after this is over.

Ne-Yo, okay, you go grab a cheese steak over in the VIP.
Man, Ne-Yo firing off all his bullets, but Taye's not scared.
When we return, we'll see his response and see if he can shift the momentum and make that LSB belt his own.
I know you can't wait to see what he's got.
Taye Diggs is up next.
- It's LSB.
- (crowd cheering) Boyz II Men going off Lip Sync Battle returns, and we've got one more performance before that beautiful belt becomes the property of Ne-Yo or Taye Diggs.
Ne-Yo just brought the sweater vest and the harmony, now it's Taye's turn to do his thing.

Are you comfortable doing it? - Absolutely not.
- Okay.
(laughing) Taye: With Ne-Yo, I constantly get mistaken for him.
(humming) I wouldn't mind his money.
Is he in there? I chose this second song, because, secretly, I have this artist in me that is screaming to come out.
The inside of my brain is doing this right now.
- Ne-Yo: Pardon me.
- Taye: Oh! Excuse me.
Oh, (bleep).
- Did you guys get that? - (Ne-Yo laughs) Oh, no! (laughing) Taye: I get to be a pop star.
