When rehearsing (When You Gonna) Give It Up To Me, practice the word-heavy passages slowly, then bring them back to track speed without clipping consonants. Rehearse that transition in (When You Gonna) Give It Up To Me before worrying about stage movement.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

With (When You Gonna) Give It Up To Me, do not count on the room to do the work; it is better for a singer ready to own the lyric’s point of view. The song has a clearly recurring hook and a dense lyric flow. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
