John Krasinski and Anna Kendrick battled it out last night, April 16, on SpikeTV's Lip Sync Battle. The pair pulled out all of the stops with The Office star taking on NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" and Tina Turner's rendition on "Proud Mary" while the Pitch Perfect actress mouthed the words to One Direction's "Steal My Girl" and Jennifer Lopez's "Booty."

Krasinski came out of the box strong, doing all of the puppet dance moves from the 2000 song's music video. It was definitely a crowd-pleaser, but Kendrick fired back with a contemporary boy band hit. As she pretended to sing "Steal My Girl," the actress displayed pictures of Krasinki's girlfriend, Emily Blunt. She even made a shirt with a heart around her picture. Round one, however, went to Krasinski.

The actor followed "Bye Bye Bye" with "Proud Mary," starting the song in a suit and tie and finishing it in a sparkling dress. The silver outfit and gyrating hips were a fitting tribute to Turner, but Kendrick had one more trick. She did a spot-on performance of J.Lo's tune, bringing the "Booty" artist herself out at the end of the song. It was just enough to get Kendrick the belt.

The show has already seen the likes of Jimmy Fallon and The Rock competing with Madonna and Taylor Swift songs. Anne Hathaway went off last week, performing Miley Cyrus's "Wrecking Ball" complete with an actual wrecking ball. Common and John Legend have also faced off this season.

According to TV By the Numbers, Lip Sync Battle started out well, attracting 2.2 million viewers for its first episode. The ratings dipped slightly for the second week and this week saw another decline to 1.83 million.
