15 of the most iconic Lip Sync Battle performances

Tom Holland — “Singin’ in the Rain/Umbrella”
Tom Holland is arguably the most charming addition to the MCU since Robert Downey Jr. himself. Marvel has struggled to find the right portrayal of Spider-Man; Tobey Maguire was the perfect Peter, while Andrew Garfield was the perfect Spider-Man. But Tom Holland has managed to strike the right balance, and quickly win over fans.
What many MCU fans don’t realize is that Holland got his start on Broadway. As a child, he starred in Billy Elliot in London’s West End. But he wasn’t just a member of the ensemble — he was Billy Elliot.
Dancing is a huge part of the show, and Holland tapped into those skills for his Lip Sync Battle performance. He even included a quick homage to his theater roots, initially lip syncing to “Singin’ In The Rain.”
Then, in a pro quick change, he morphed into Rihanna and lip synced to “Umbrella.” That’s when things got really real. Not only did he have fake rain, but he had Step Up level moves for the song. Honestly, if Holland ever gives up acting, he deserves a spot on tour with Rihanna herself.
