For the first round of the competition, the pop singer got pseudo-emotional on Fergie’s 2006 ballad “Big Girls Don’t Cry.” And Bieber finished off the song with a perfect taunt to the former football player. It’s a stark contrast to what he ends up doing for the second round of the episode: [donning a wig and eyeliner](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/lip-sync-battle-books-taraji-804103) as Ozzy Osbourne. The episode airs Thursday at 10 p.m. on Spike TV.
