Two teams battled it out at the lip-sync contest during USFSP’s Homecoming week celebration. Originally thought to be five teams competing, the final two teams took the stage to try their hand at lip-syncing like the pros.
The first group for the Oct. 19 event was a two-girl ensemble lip-synching to “Love the Way you Lie” by Eminem and Rihanna. The second group consisted of six students, four from the NoBull Dance Troupe. They opened with “Party Startin’” by Michael Jackson and meshed into songs from the 90s such as “Say My Name” by Destiny’s Child. They ended with “Wop” by J. Dash.
The show took place at the Campus Activities Center and audience members were served pizza and pasta during intermission. After the contest, the floor was open to anyone who wanted to perform for a live audience.
The Harborside Activities Board planned the event and recruited students to participate.
Maria Almeida, freshman criminology major, is a member of the Harborside Activities Board, came to the event to support HAB.
“I decided to help out wherever I was needed,” Almeida said. “It turns out the needed another judge and I was happy to do it.”
