And she made the most of her time riding shotgun, opening with Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” before launching into Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies,” during which James and Michelle flashed ringless right hands and did the single-ladies scoot, if constrained somewhat by seat belts.

The two talked about what Obama might miss when leaving the White House in January, secret service code names and Obama’s “Let Girls Learn” initiative.
“Are you not going to miss 24-hour room service?” he asks. Corden asks. “Just calling down at 3 a.m., I want a grilled cheese and a milkshake?” Mrs Obama had said that its the second time of his life that she is sitting on the front seat of auto just after seven and half years.
Obama joined host James Corden on his popular Carpool Karaoke segment, and they cruised around the White House grounds.
“That’s nice, but the freedom that we’ll get in exchange for the privileges and the luxuries. seven-and-a-half years, that’s enough”.
For “Let Girls Learn”, Obama will visit Liberia, Morroco and Spain, and she’ll document her travels on a new Snapchat account: michelleobama.
Missy Eliott even appeared mid-ride to sing “This Is for My Girls” before moving on to another hit of hers: “Get Your Freak On”.
USA first lady Michelle Obama takes questions from children for Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day in the East Room of the White House April 20, 2016 in Washington, DC. And to join them for it, up popped Missy Elliott in Corden’s backseat.
Missy Elliot then suddenly appears from the backseat of the auto while Corden and Obama sing “This is for My Girls”, which is a collaborative track that features vocals from the iconic rapper and other artists such as Kelly Clarkson, Zendaya, Lea Michelle, Janelle Monae and Kelly Rowland. “So much could be corrected in the world if girls were educated and had power over their lives”.

Obama noted that she hadn’t been given the chance to “rock out” in the vehicle for quite some time. She slayed Carpool Karaoke.
