Celebrities crashing corporate Zoom meetings

Our partner PressReader asked us to produce a funny video to cheer up their employees this Holiday season. Instead, we came up with an idea to bomb their corporate zoom meetings with celebrities. We didn't tell anyone, of course. Reactions are priceless.

[@OriginalPuro]

That would be the fastest disconnect in the history of the internet, for me. 1: He can't sing. 2: It's autotune. 3: Popularity over quality. I prefer real musicians who can actually sing.

[@NorthAyase]

@@OriginalPuro He can sing though, he isn't the best in the world or anything, but you don't really need to be, he initially got to where he was prior to puberty & he was an amazing singer at his age. Don't have to put dude down, just listening to your music.

[@lively2242]

@@OriginalPuro and he got popular for no reason right?? Like singing and making incredible songs for yrs is just meh.. Lyk anyone can do that :/🤡

[@WagwanItsBonbon]

@@lively2242 Every single famous/marginally well known singer who records in professional studios uses autotune, it’s a tool that the vast majority of producers use to clean up the track they’re mixing and it’s not even always the singers choice, producers just do it so the track comes out sounding the best it possibly can. Sad but true, very few things you hear these days are not autotuned unless it’s someone recording themselves singing at home in their bedroom or something
