Was there ever any doubt that Lizzo would murder a game of ELLE's Song Association? Armed with a vast musical knowledge and 10 seconds to belt a song that contains a word given on the fly—the challenge stood no chance.
One of ELLE's three Women in Music issue cover stars, Lizzo began the game with a disclaimer. "I think I could do well," she says, adding, "I might end up making up songs before actually singing the real song."
As it turns out, Lizzo's impromptu stylings were more than welcome. While singing "The Greatest Show" from "The Greatest Showman soundtrack featuring Wolverine," she couldn't remember any lyrics beyond the titular refrain.
After singing the title of "Bad and Boujee" by Migos, she paused to say, "What the fuck are they saying? Does anybody now? All I know is 'Bad and Boujee' so I got the point."
In quick succession, Lizzo transitioned from Janelle Monáe's "Make Me Feel" to Elton John's "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," to Queen's "You're My Best Friend."
When it came time to deliver the Broadway hit Dreamgirls, she stopped midway through to cough, laughing, "Got some chicken grease in my throat. I was just eating chicken earlier."
If the ensuing five minutes weren't more than enough reason to stan, she finished the Song Association with her 2016 hit "Good as Hell." Working a pink leather trench, she proclaimed, "Feelin' 'Good as Hell' cause I just won the Song Association Challenge."
