Watch Coldplay and James Corden cover Prince’s ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’

Meat Loaf teases young James with his answer to the above question, but it’s all in fun.

The Late Late Show host’s voice sounds pretty much the same, although these days he’s a bit better dressed and less stiff in his interviews (belting out songs in a vehicle will help anyone loosen anyone up).

Following Martin’s introduction, Corden stepped onstage and thanked the members of Coldplay for letting him join the band again. He’s trying his best but the interview is very awkward for all involved particularly because Meat Loaf is so animated and keeps throwing poor James some curve balls.

With Zayn Malik no longer a member, 1D could comfortably fit in Corden’s five-seater. James claimed to not know how big the concert was when he initially said yes, and that he was visibly nervous about it. An elated Corden jumped up, dancing and singing along. During the ride, Martin whipped out a portable keyboard for an impromptu performance of “Us Against the World”.

The boy can sing, we’ll give him that..

By far the most famous of the carpools is Corden’s drive with the Biebs.

Spears’ Carpool Karaoke will be featured on Thursday’s Late Late Show, which airs at 12:37 a.m. PT/ET on CBS.

James has helped The Late Late Show’s popularity to soar to 850,000+ YouTube subscribers and audiences in excess of one million since he took over a year ago, thanks to his celeb guests and hugely popular features like Carpool Karaoke.
