Watch Lady Gaga sing, terrify James Corden with her driving on carpool karaoke
The world is probably divided into two groups: people who would love sitting through a traffic jam with Lady Gaga riding shotgun and those who would find it even more torturous than the traffic itself. The latter group probably won't enjoy James Corden's latest "carpool karaoke," on Tuesday's Late Late Show, but Gaga fans have a lot to look forward to.
There is, obviously, a lot of singing, and whether or not you like her music, Lady Gaga can sing. Corden asked about the beginning of "Bad Romance," and learned what Gaga is actually singing. "This why these carpools are good for me, just to get this sort of lyrical insight," he said. Gaga just got her driver's license a few months ago, and so she took the wheel for a brief, terrifying few minutes. In the video you also get to hear her vocal warmup routine, watch her and Corden re-enact the call where she was asked to play the Super Bowl, learn she owns some 400 items of Michael Jackson's wardrobe, and that she often writes songs in 10 minutes; it becomes clear, too, that she looks much better in her famously outrageous outfits than Corden does.
