Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."

[@thomasstengel7356]

I keep revisiting this one. And, outside of the incredible harmonies, I finally figured out why. It's the moment when James tells Sam that, when he first heard his music, that he knew he'd be listening to his voice for the rest of his life. What an amazing opportunity for a fan to tell that to an artist and for an artist to hear that from a true fan. Who wouldn't want that opportunity? It's exactly how I felt the first time my dad introduced me to both Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. Even though they both passed well before I was born, that was exactly how I felt. I can't imagine having the opportunity to say those words to either one of those gentlemen and to be able to thank them for what they've added to my life by virtue of their songs and their talents. The closest I will ever get to that is to pass that love along to the younger ones in my family. Which, of course, I've done my best to do. Just a nearly perfect moment that will keep me revisiting this video.

[@1881eagle]

@@Dstrukt2k2 that's not the fact...it's totally different singing with your friends and in front of a crowd whatsoever. It's the fact that he was able to sing harmonizing while staying on key with the actual singer right next to him, an accomplished singer in fact. take 2:26 song for an example. You haven't heard anyone harmonize with Sam at all with that note since it's already high enough.

[@alishahandley1746]

Just watched James’ Final Carpool Karaoke w/his Bestie, Adele…Sooo emotional 😢… the singing, stories, etc…enjoyed watching them together…(C.K. #1 w/ Adele is in my top 7 for sure!) I used to be obsessed with James hosting the Late-Late show and then when CARPOOL KARAOKE was a thing 😱…I lived for each new one ❤️‍🔥…So, now after watching the Final C.K. w/Adele, I’ve jumped down the rabbit hole and have been bingeing on C.K.’s that I’ve never seen and rewatching my favorites; that said, As I scrolled through the video list-I’m pretty positive that THIS -Sam Smith- Carpool Karaoke, is my #1 Favorite of all time 🥰❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💪🏻…their singing and harmonizing is superb 🔥…and not knowing Sam, other than a few of his songs-This video had me loving him!!! 🥰…He’s sincere, hilarious…Just a great C.K. from beginning to end; and IMO Only-Sam’s Current songs (Yes, they have a great beat-love a song I can dance to; and of course his voice is amazing) The videos are 😳🫣…(Yes, amazing costumes, set design, all the right bells and whistles) I’m just confused how the Sam in THIS video became the, ‘everything sexual’ Sam in his music and videos 2023🤔…Not really an upgrade-seems like the music and the content are reversed…I think 🤔 it’s his voice, his new stuff seems not to be at the level of his voice-range-emotion…Idk Regardless of my current opinion…I absolutely love him in this video 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

He's not reacting to react or for any other reason than he's truly excited and happy. Just love it.

james’ singing ability is so underestimated like firstly his harmonising is beyond belief, but secondly when they are singing the same key you can’t tell who’s singing. amazing

the harmonising is not that extraordinary

Is he? He’s played a singer in film (‘Begin Again’), won a Tony for a musical role, sung as host of the Tonys , & by now so many of the world’s most renowned singers have eyeballed him in that car, impressed at his vocals, that I feel like u’d hav to be living under a rock to not recognise his musical talent at this point 😅

Came to watch this again. I've been a fan of Sam since 2014, this wednesday I saw them live for the first time as they came to my country Peru. I cried. They actually looked at me and said hi and that means so much to me. Sam got so emotional considering Peru is one of the few concerts in this tour that's just for them, as they're mainly playing festivals, and they got very emotional because of how much we wanted them here, and how we sang from beginning to end. the concer even though it wasn't huge was completely packed. We sang every single song, word for word and Sam got teary eyed.
