11 Reasons Carpool Karaokes Are The Best Interviews Ever
Late Late Show

James Corden, host of "The Late Late Show," is the hilarious and creative man behind "Carpool Karaoke" interviews. It does not matter if you are or aren't a fan of the celebs he interviews in his car, because by the end of the carpool karaoke, you will find yourself looking at those people with a newfound respect. Maybe you'll end up downloading some of their songs, and watching other interviews too. As for the carpool karaokes of the celebrities you already love, you'll find yourself re-watching the interview at any chance you get. Here are 11 reasons why James Corden's Carpool Karaoke's are the best interviews ever.

1. The lack of pressure brings out authentic personalities, showing viewers what our favorite celebs are really like.

There is a lot of laughter, smiling, and singing. There isn't much room for filtering and nerves because the interview is basically a casual conversation with some singing involved.

2. Viewers learn about various hidden talents of celebrities through the car interviews.

Did you know that Chris Martin impersonates other singers in his concerts to get the crowd rowdy? Did you know he does a killer Mick Jagger impersonation? How about Sia -- did you know that she can balance a dozen eggs on the back of her hands? You probably didn't, and wouldn't, know this, but now you do thanks to James Corden's carpool karaokes.


3. Viewers get to watch performances of our favorite songs and see pure emotion radiate from each singer.


Unfortunately not all of us will be able to see the talented Jennifer Hudson in person, but thanks to James Corden we can say that we've heard her sing, "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" in an intimate setting. And I'm confident we all had goosebumps as we sat there, in awe, just like James.

4. We learned that there is a way to make karaoke more enjoyable (and hilarious) -- by accessorizing!

5. When fans don’t get the music videos they want, James Corden makes sure the music videos are created and shared.

One Direction fans banded together to make "No Control" a success when the band's management decided not to make "No Control" a single, and James decided that the lack of a music video to that song was a tragedy. He took matters into his own hands and put together a music video fans will never forget.


6. James takes full advantage of each interviewee’s talent, which we vicariously live through.

We will never have the chance to have Jennifer Hudson sing our fast food order, but James had the opportunity and he jumped on it. Thank you for that, James!

7. James picks the bests songs for the celebs to sing along to.

James doesn't waste any time or energy; if you're going to sing songs in the car with a singer, might as well sing some of the best songs they have ever written and performed.

8. It's hilarious to watch celebs react to James' talented singing voice.

He was cast in "Into The Woods" as the Baker for a reason, people!


9. And it's even more funny when he messes up while singing lyrics.

It's OK, James. It happens to the best of us.

10. He jumps on participating in funny, creative opportunities without worrying about his image or ego.

James took advantage of laying in a motel bed with Chris Martin --something many people (including myself) would kill to do. Props to you, James, for making it happen and capturing it on camera. I wish I was you.


11. He gives fans the opportunity to see what kind of passenger each celeb is.

Adele and Louis Tomlinson, for instance, are passengers who tend to look out the window very often. Very interesting.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
