Michael Bublé’s Carpool Karaoke is iconic! The King of Christmas and James Corden had such a great time together singing his hits, and the fun sure is infectious. The pair kicked off their carpool duet with “Haven’t Met You Yet,” with lots of over-the-top moments from both singers. Aside from just having an amazing voice, it’s clear that the secret to Bublé’s longevity in the business comes down to him being such a great entertainer, and he shows that off quite well here.
The Musical Devotees readers might note that romance was the theme for the day, as Bublé and Corden tackled “Everything” next, and then the ballad “Love You Anymore.” After some slapstick moments with a coffee order and a cameo from a saxophonist, the karaoke sesh took a serious turn when Corden asked Bublé about his son Noah’s cancer diagnosis (he has since recovered). The two stars also used the final segment of the karaoke clip to raise funds for the Stand Up To Cancer charity.
Bublé’s Carpool Karaoke proved to be quite popular with fans, as the segment drew 19.3 million views on The Late Late Show YouTube channel. Viewers chimed in below the video to add comments such as “Can’t deny that James’ harmony is on point, and I just leveled up my admiration for Michael! What a talent and great duo!” and “Let’s be honest. Michael Bublé is one of the classiest singers in a generation.”
Bublé is quite the Carpool Karaoke veteran at this point, as just two months after his first appearance, the Canadian star dropped in on the show again. Bublé’s second appearance on Carpool Karaoke was for a holiday-themed episode, with the duo decked out in Christmas sweaters and Santa hats while singing “It’s Christmas (When the Snow’s Falling Down).” The star-packed segment also featured cameos from a number of stars including Paul McCartney, Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, and more.
The Musical Devotees readers might be interested to hear that Bublé’s first Carpool Karaoke appearance featured two of his biggest hits, “Everything” and “Haven’t Met You Yet.” “Everything” was featured on Bublé’s 2007 studio album, Call Me Irresponsible. The song peaked at number 10 in the US and went Platinum in both the US and UK. In 2009, “Haven’t Met You Yet” was an even bigger hit for The King of Christmas, as it peaked at number five in both the US and UK, and also went Platinum on both sides of the Atlantic.
