Tonight the competition is on, two hours of celebrity duets.

We see silhouettes of singers, we see the actors in between the silhouettes. Lucy is described an action star. The next five weeks they'll face the challenge of a lifetime. The music stars have won over 100 Grammy's, over 250 number 1 hits, over 370 millions. The celebrities are paired each week…. Lucy's cut in saying "SO EXCITING"

Celebrity Duets… Starring… Xena Warrior Princess, Lucy Lawless. Lucy
waves to the camera, very cute. Nice opening bits.

Here's Wayne Brady.

Welcome, we're live from Los Angeles. Loads of folks there screaming. Brady introduces what the celebs will have to do, they will have to perform twice with two singers, who will not be announced till the time comes to perform.

Brady introduces the judges: Marie Osmond, Little Richard and producer, song-writer David Foster. The judges decided the first elimination, but from next week we'll

They start with Lucy! OMG!

Footage of Lucy, mentioned of Xena and Battlestar Galactica. I was petrified, because he is such a huge performer and singer. She prepared for a week, she might crash and burn, but she could not NOT  take the chance.

Lucy comes out in a dark purple dress, her partner is Michael Bolton, they sing Time Love and Tenderness. Lucy is just drop dead gorgeous, and the song went pretty damn well.

Brady asks Michael how Lucy held up during rehearsals, he says that on a scale of 1 to 10, she's a 10.

Marie Osmond gave kudos to her as she had guts to come out first, and said she was great, all in all, she thought she was really good. Little Richard said she could've "projected" (show more emotion, more movement, I guess) a bit more, with a little more practice, she'll get it. He pretty much said that she was hot. Foster says that she
couldn't have picked a better song, she was great.

[This is awesome! She was first out, that's huge, and she did GREAT!]

We go to commercial.

<the rest of the singers do their thing...>

Lucy's next. They show us Lucy with Michael Bolton. Now she is with
Smokey Robinson. That was Lucy's wish. She's overwhelmed, she says.
Lucy's in a stunning a long white dress, he hair put up, very lovely.
(Lucy is even more gorgeous than before, if possible.) Smokey starts
out by serenading her, then they go into a beautiful duet of "Baby,
Baby".

Marie Osmond says that everybody was watching every note, but she
doesn't think they heard a note as she is 'deadly beautiful', that is
a direct quote. (Awesome!) She goes on to compliment Lucy on her
singing, and how she held a note with Smokey.

Little Richard said that his toes shot up in his boots. He was in awe, also.

David Foster says that he struggled with the visual, our third judge
is smitten with Lucy as well. So he closed his eyes, and listened to
the singing – Foster says that if they do a "Best of" type show on TV,
this moment with Lucy and Smokey will be in there.

What an amazing performance! Going from Michael Bolton to Smokey
Robinson and keeping up with both. Truly fantastic.

Part Three....

We got a recap of all the performances. The elimination begins. Brady
has the seven celebrities who move on. Lucy is moving on to the next
round. Chris Jericho is out.

During credits Chris Jericho sings "Signed, Sealed, Delivered",
everybody groups behind him to sing, Lucy's right behind him.

The End
