CeeLo Green rocked out as Kiss with a band of little people on Thursday on the latest episode of Lip Sync Battle.

The 40-year-old singer glammed it up for his performance with a huge pair of platform boots.

'Finally, I'm taller than somebody,' he joked to the cameras while rehearsing in the tall shoes.

He definitely needed to work on walking in platform boots.

The diminutive pop star almost came a cropper as he tried to maneuver himself off stage while wearing the big rocker shoes.

'Lord have mercy,' laughed LL Cool J as CeeLo's foot buckled underneath him.

The former The Voice coach quickly regained his balance and slowly made his way to the side of the studio.

He had just brought the house down by performing the Kiss hit Rock And Roll All Nite with his band of small rockers to huge cheers from the audience.

The show kicked off with Canadian comedian and actor Russell Peters telling LL Cool he had been DJing since the 1980s and was ready to go.

He joked he he had bought the rapper's first album Radio on vinyl, which saw CeeLo accuse him of 'kissing ass.'

'Wait, didn't you do a song called F*** You,' Russell shot back.

Russell kicked off the show by performing Oh What A Night by Frankie Valli, which was enough to get LL Cool shaking his pelvis.

'I think I just got diabetes watching that performance,' joked CeeLo.

'That was sweet,' color commentator Chrissy Teigen told Russell. 

'I mean you know, that was average at best. I am ready to cut the banter and come on and do my thing,' CeeLo added.

CeeLo told the audience he was 'born and raised by real hip-hop' as he took on Rapper's Delight by The Sugarhill Gang.

'I'm gonna take you all back to where it began,' he promised

After the performance Russell told CeeLo: 'I have been a fan of yours for a very long time but it's on like Donkey Kong.

Before his second performance Russell was shown rehearsing for the show, telling his back-up dancers he knew they were good but he was worried about himself.

'This is the most cardio I've done in six years,' he joked to the cameras as he worked on his dance moves.

And it all came together - including a bizarre new hair-do - as Russell performed Bobby Brown's Every Little Step with nods to the singer's music video.

The performance was a huge hit with opponent CeeLo roaring his approval form the stage as Russell performed with a team of dancers.

'Wooah,' cheered CeeLo as LL Cool J touched his hair in amusement.

'I am such a big fan of Bobby, that's my man, and you did a great job but I think I saw Mike Tyson do it better,' said CeeLo.

'He can't even say your name,' shot back Russell.

'I think you did a great job,' admitted CeeLo.

Before CeeLo's second performance he was shown backstage telling the cameras he was ready 'to kick Russell's ass.' 

CeeLo then took to the stage in full Kiss make-up and studded leather outfit to perform the rock and roll anthem.

He looked like a giant as he was surrounded on stage by a Kiss band made up of little people.

CeeLo got into full rocker spirit as he threw down his guitar as the song came to a dramatic and smoke-filled conclusion.

Even Chrissy got into the spirit of things by wearing a fake Gene Simmons tongue.

'Here's the thing, I wanted to hate but then you came out and I was like ''God damn it, it's CeeLo Green Simmons'',' laughed Russell.

CeeLo's Kiss performance was enough to win over the audience and he was crowned the champion.

'It feels great to be the champ,' said CeeLo as he got his belt.
