And Team Pharrell Williams…

Ivonne Acero vs Siahna Im
Darius Scott vs Daria Jazmin
Madi Davis vs Sydney Rhame
Amy Vachal vs Jubal & Amanda
Celeste Betton vs Mark Hood

Pharrell’s adviser is the legendary hip hop artist, Missy Elliott. The singers freaked out at the sight of her! Celeste Betton and Mark Hood sing “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” Amy Vachal and Jubal & Amanda face off with “To Love Somebody” by The Bee Gees. Ivonne Acero and Siahna Im perform “Keep Me Hanging On” by the Supremes. I’m not feeling these mouldy oldie song choices. Like AT ALL. Particularly for the younger contestants.

The duos discuss what makes them great partners. Celeste and Mark’s performance make Missy cry. Watch Team Pharrell prepare to do battle.
