NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-Things went Milli Vanilli at the North Platte Community Playhouse Thursday evening as the area's finest lip syncers battled it out in the North Platte Area Habitat for Humanity/RDAP Lip Sync Battle 2021.

Building on the success of last year's Battle, the event was moved to the Playhouse to accommodate a larger crowd and more teams and contestants.

Also different this year, the audience acted as the judges.

A total of eight teams participated, four for each organization.

This year's champion was Chris Chada from Team Habitat. Chada performed the Michael Jackson hit Thriller for his first number and Kenny Loggins' Footloose to take the belt.

Funds raised by the event benefit Habitat for Humanity and RDAP.
