Ready to Watch the Wels: Chaka Khan vs. Stephanie Mills? Because tonight's pre-Thanksgiving event will feature a friendly competition between the two queens of R&B and soul. And we've got the details on December's performers.

Chaka Khan may be better known, but this showdown may not be an easy one to settle. Both have careers dating back to the 1970s and both have a number of chart-topping hits.

The event has long been in the works to happen, as Mills previously said that she had been working on the schedule as far back as June. It appears that she was the one who initiated the conversation, as her team had asked Verzuzu maestros Timbaland and Swizz Beatz to contact Chaka Khan's people.

Sharing the news online, Mills said, "For those who want to know why @chakaikhan and I are down to do @verzuztv, it's all in this post. We have dedicated our lives to the wild game that is the music business. So we join our sisters @mspattilabelle and @msgladysknight and many other amazing women who are part of this amazing platform called @verzuztv. This is not a battle! It's a celebration for us ✊? We love ❤️ of music, positive vibes, and lots of harmony. Don't miss out on Thursday night ✊✊?" . [Bone Suggs N Harmony will play Three 6 Mafia in the next Verzuz.

For those unfamiliar with Verzuz, these shows are informal competitions between artists. Each superstar performs one hit song, followed by another. And it is the public (in the comments and on social media) that decides which one wins.

Verzuz has gained great popularity, and Swizz Beatz (co-creator of the event) announced that the last battle (Gucci Mane vs. Jeezy) broke the "all-time live stream audience record" with 9.1 million streamers watching. This is a huge multiple of the most popular verses before it, which topped out at an estimated 1.2 million viewers for Brandi vs. Monica.

Yes, Verzuz is now streaming live on YouTube. This seems like a free way to watch on your TV (or other device), so open up the Verzuz YouTube channel yourself.

Frankly, this will be the de facto way to watch Verzuz in the future, as YouTube's live streams are generally of the highest quality.
