Ukrainian TV presenter Hryhoriy Reshetnik wears blackface as he performs Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” on the Ukrainian edition of the “Lip Sync Battle” show on March 13, 2021. The blackface form of makeup originated in the United States after the Civil War for portraying African Americans and is now considered highly offensive and racist.

Ukraine has joined 20 other international countries in premiering their own version of the hit show “Lip Sync Battle.”

The show originated in the United States, where it has grown into a sensational musical competition. The format makes celebrities battle each other with lip sync performances, getting to choose what singer to impersonate and which song to perform with choreographed dancing.
