This was the best

[@santiagodelgado875]

♥️

[@keannat27]

El Debarge 💙 was great on the show again

[@eme.261]

This was "Sho'nuff" peak cuteness. The sisters couldn't hide how much they adore that man-- they were the personification of SQUEE!! 😍 🥰

[@TheEmbessyNetwork]

If SQUEE was a person, it would be these two!

[@ronniet71]

You read that well!!!

[@arthurmartin4616]

You can tell how much Amber and Lacey are fangirlling over El DeBarge and honestly, it's relatable.

[@gen-x_dude]

Cmon man, tell me that he didnt just walk on stage and be 10x COOLER than he was in 1985

[@ObsidianLife]

He straight up DID. 😁

[@trebo12]

El gonna always have that swag...

[@nolipgloss1343]

yes he did lol

[@laceylamar9840]

This was absolutely amazing to be a part of. A true childhood dream come to life. Amber is the best little sister to make all of this happen!❤️❤️❤️

[@GaiaCarney]

Lacey Lamar - 💥You did so well!!! hOw did you even keep it TOGETHER 🥰 he is sooooo handsome!

[@clumsiii]

Hope this is really you! You two sisters are the cutest - and congrats on the win

[@V.L.R.]

Lacey, We Love You & AMBER. -Love, From Indiana

[@pabloplato]

Time Will Reveal is such a classic, I'm right there with ya! FYI, ICYMI, Janelle Monae did a cover back in 2005 on a Big Boi's Got Purp? Vol II compilation, check it out if you haven't already.

[@sabeenie21]

Keep coming back! You are such a treasure. Bring more sisters too! ❤️

[@kimroberts7006]

My jaw dropped when El DeBarge was introduced and I really wanted to see them get to hug him in the end since they're both such fangirls. Hopefully they got a hug in off camera. He's still lookin' FINE!!!!

[@Xara_K1]

They probably kept a safe distance coz of c19. But I'm just speculating. I just hope El sees how much we love and value him and he continues to take care of himself

[@kazza6078]

Please do this with every artist amber and lacey have ever loved.

[@AsterInDis]

I feel like this was an excuse for Amber and her sister to met El DeBarge. :) Delightful.

[@miaimani3494]

He has made cameos before. At least one that I recall.

[@AsterInDis]

@@miaimani3494 Oh very nice!

[@msbrownsuga]

This was such an incredibly joyful game; El DeBarge is such a peach to share this moment with lifelong fans (Amber, Lacey, and me)! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Biotoze]

Special shoutout to Mr. El Debarge to play with some obvious lifelong fans. Such a wholesome moment

[@jeanleblanchard4935]

Lacey's hair is en point! Yes ma'am!

[@mellodope8904]

Bless the ENTIRE DeBarge family❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Xara_K1]

Lawd knows they need it. What that family went thru... whew!

[@mismissy]

He looks FANTASTIC! Amber's sister is GORGEOUS! I can not smiling from this segment and everybody knows All This Love is his best song ❤️

[@themightierpencil]

"Stay With Me" though. Amazing enough to be sampled by Biggie lol

[@sunii4264]

His best modern song is "how can you love me." But he's right, all of them is the perfect answer!💕

[@TouchofShunshine]

Patient enough to put up with this nonsense, so funny. I love El Dabarge. I would have won.

[@kennettabradford6566]

Lol. Ikr

[@sunii4264]

Naw SIS I'da won! But we all winning living through Amber & Lacey!💕

[@2008msmaya]

This just gave me life! Love me some El Debarge and so happy to see him out here receiving his flowers.

[@qwnamitypowell55]

I screamed too when he came out. I enjoyed everything about this.

[@msqunhua]

He looks great for 61! I'm glad that he chose Lacey since she was winning.

[@The1love80]

He looks great for 41 too and ever other number

[@msqunhua]

@@The1love80 😄

[@sunii4264]

Now Amber gotta have him back to redeem herself! Now she gotta play against some celebrity fans! ☺️

[@Toffeetraveler]

Amber and Lacy need their own show together!

[@kimberly8695]

They have a book!

[@kennettabradford6566]

El is one fine 61 year old. His falsetto gives me chills 😍

[@kinsmed]

"Who’s Holding Donna Now?" has been on my Mp3 almost since the beginning.

[@ericautaubo8543]

Haha!!! "...these two sisters are out 4 blood"

[@tamathafevs]

Love it - Lacey came to play!

[@piscesinblack]

El DeBarge was not prepared for LAcey lol

[@njewellbraun]

The fangirling!! 🤣🤣 Loving every second!

[@alltheragegeorgepageakatheperv]

I bet Lacy was dying when she got to hug El

[@HeatherAskew79]

this sketch made my week! I feel so much better knowing that Amber still fangirls out over her favorites.

[@tarawalker7193]

So wonderful! I had all but 2 right - I forgot James was part of the original group.

[@MaybeDHitHim]

If you thought Bobby was an original member, you're wrong. He was in Switch.

[@kennettabradford6566]

They know bobby wasn't in the group. Him and Tommy was in switch

[@jamila2957]

Amber TOOK FULL advantage of this.

[@selenahnjoloma1415]

That was so silly and hilarious 😂 love ❤️

[@akwaabab8504]

how did Lacey get her fro perfectly round?

[@JMErlendson]

This is genuinely the best. My goodness, this show is fantastic.

[@samanthanickson6478]

they looked like they had the time of their lives! 😁

[@themaggattack]

This was so cute! El was funny trying to psyche them out. Amber and her sister are so alike. Similar mannerisms and looks. There's no mistaking they are sisters.

[@charlesroberts9954]

THIS WAS SOOO MUCH FUN!!!!! Love me some DeBarge!

[@missyook]

Amazing, I had no idea how much I wanted this until it happened! ❤

[@TTDoYouLoveMe]

He let them slide on some answers. He’s *originally* from Grand Rapids, and James was not originally part of the group. They wanted him to finish HS first. *I* love me some El DeBarge!! ♥️♥️☺️

[@trebo12]

El always says he was born in Detroit and moved to GR. But I agree, James was not in the original line up!

[@kennettabradford6566]

El was born in Detroit then later moved to grand rapids

[@crusader918]

LMBO!!! I want to be next contestant on Know Your Janet Jackson!!! LMBO 😆 😆 😆

[@naomibee8881]

Smooth for that is correct. 😂

[@addisonwoods9428]

He sounds just like his Recordings, till this day.

[@kennettabradford6566]

He sure do

[@abu4m9ja]

My crush on Lacey Lamar continues........

[@blahblahpocalyspe8323]

Tarik's expression! Hahaha that was genuine shock and concern

[@SmilingSas]

Aarw that was just… Lovely! I smiled all the way through!

[@femmec6644]

I'ma watch this every day! I love me some El DeBarge

[@syckindahead]

El was soooo chill. Love it

[@christophercomtois7175]

I don’t know I think the winner of the game was everyone else who was there by the looks of it.

[@vanjohnson4521]

El Debarge has to be a weekly guest! "Fo sho!"

[@katemae1076]

Lacey's face when Amber buzzed on first😂

[@NellieKAdaba]

Lacey looks like Amber or she could be her sister.

[@mlynne-uc9py]

[@loricaldwell7578]

I'm so sorry for you.

[@V.L.R.]

Technically, Isn’t The DeBarge Family from Grand Rapids, Michigan…???

[@trebo12]

El was born in Detroit and some of the later siblings were born in GR.
