Lucifer season 5 part 2, episode 10 recap: The top five performances

The highly anticipated musical episode finally arrived in Lucifer season 5 part 2, episode 10, titled, “Bloody Celestial Karaoke Jam.” And we’ll be damned if it wasn’t celestial! Let’s just say the musical episode did not disappoint.

From the dancing scores, the song choices, and the performers, “Bloody Celestial Karaoke Jam” truly delivered and we had a front-row seat! Which song and performance was your favorite?

It’s good that this episode comes in as the second episode in the back half of season 5, we needed some cheering up after Lucifer tells Chloe he is unable to say those “three words.” Of course, this doesn’t mean all the songs were cheerful, but each fit the character wonderfully.

To recap the episode, we decided to highlight our favorite performances! But don’t worry, we still recap the episode so you don’t miss a thing!

Best performances from the Lucifer season 5 part 2 musical episode

5. “Just the Two of Us” by Bill Withers and “Just the Two of Us” by Will Smith, performed by Linda and Amenadiel

What a beautiful remix! Linda sings “Just the Two of Us” by Bill Withers as she walks with baby Charlie at the park before Amenadiel chimes in with Will Smith’s version about fatherhood. The song makes a lot of sense for both parents, a great choice.

4. “Wicked Game” by Chris Isaak, performed by Lucifer

This is a solo performance by Lucifer Morningstar (he plays the piano, too!), no dances, nothing fancy, but that’s also why I love this performance so much. Actor Tom Ellis has a wonderful voice! Yes, he does his own singing. He may not really be playing the piano, but that’s his beautiful voice alright! And that, my fellow Lucifans, deserves some recognition.

Lucifer is surprised to get a call from Chloe about another case. He assumed it was over after what he told her. Chloe, however, is surprisingly understanding. All couples have problems, she says, telling Lucifer that they’ll work things out. She insists there’s no way he is incapable of love.

3. “Another One Bites the Dust” by Queen, performed by the cast of Lucifer

How can you not love this one? It had been teased before, but the finished product turned out amazing. It’s hilarious seeing the characters step out of, well, character, to get down to this iconic song.

Even the murdered victim gets up to dance. Ella, Dan, Lucifer, and Chloe have so much fun and had us all dancing and singing along.

This is the second song in the episode and Lucifer quickly figures out what’s going on. It’s his father who is making everyone dance, as a way to cheer up his son. In this scene, Chloe meets God, and if you thought she’d be starstruck, you’d be wrong.

Chloe calls God out for being a bad parent, respectfully, of course. She also brings up how she is a “gift.”

2. “Bad to the Bone” by George Thorogood and the Destroyers/“No Scrubs” by TLC remix, performed by Ella and Maze

This remix is too much fun! Can we please get an official release of this ASAP? I could jam to this all day, any day.

I loved seeing Maze and Ella perform this song. It suits Maze perfectly, especially during a time when she’s so mad about not getting a soul. It’s Mazikeen’s way of accepting she’s “bad to the bone” (though we know that’s not true).

Ella joins in with “No Scrubs” by TLC, and both songs go together perfectly. Ella is trying to change her ways, so she is rejecting Maze’s offer of being bad.

1. “I Dreamed a Dream” from the musical Les Miserables, performed by Lucifer and God

A beautiful performance from Lucifer and his father, and oh so emotional! Was anyone else wiping tears away as Lucifer cried about how his life didn’t turn out how he believed it would?

God tells Lucifer how so full of light Lucifer is, so bright that he blinds even himself. It’s a very sad confrontation that ends with God telling his son that he is losing control of them. Way to drop a bombshell!

Lucifer season 5 part 2 is now streaming on Netflix.
