Hosted by KevOnStage, the hitmaking duos ran through their classics while dressed in their boldest (and brightest) Easter Sunday fashions that popped on the beautifully decorated stage.

In crowd-pleasing moments, Erica and Tina turned up to “Get Up,’ ‘Shackles,’ and ‘God In Me’ while BeBe & CeCe took things back with “Thankful,” “Close To You,” “Can’t Give Up Now,” “Lost Without You,” and “I’ll Take You There,” “Walking,” and more.

At one point, the Devil was busy when the livestream was suspended across platforms (copyright issues?) as CeCe began singing her timeless duet with Whitney Houston “Count On Me” before picking back up during Mary Mary’s soul-stirring ballad “Yesterday.”
This is my favorite BeBe and CeCe song. Even @KevOnStage couldn’t resist the spirit. #Verzuz pic.twitter.com/mDMgh8m0Qc

Notable guests in audience included Pastor DeVon Franklin, Shanice and Flex Alexander and Stevie Wonder who delivered the benediction where he spoke on the state of the world, voting rights, the anti-lynching law, and how “America has so much possibility [and needs to] grow up and get the job done.”
