TV Review ‘Carpool Karaoke’ on Apple Music

TV Review ‘Carpool Karaoke’ on Apple Music TV Review: ‘Carpool Karaoke’ on Apple Music The viral “Late Late Show” segment struggles to find a voice on Apple Music If you’ve been living outside the reach of viral videos for the past year (kudos), you may not be familiar with “Carpool Karaoke,” the wildly popular segment of “The Late Late Show with James Corden” where Corden drives around Los Angeles with celebrities, singing. It is that simple, and yet it is also oddly endearing. Who hasn’t been stuck in traffic, with only the radio to keep us company? “Carpool Karaoke” brings the people on the radio into a car — not your car, but close enough. Performers, of course, love an opportunity to ham it up — and Corden, who drives, is a musical theater nerd who knows how to put on a good show. Now “Carpool Karaoke” has broken out into its own series, with episodes running between 15 and 20 minutes long, on fledgling platform Apple Music. Though Corden is executive producing, he only hosts the first episode; after that, the pairings will include old friends (Alicia Keys and John Legend), unlikely bedfellows (Billy Eichner and Metallica), and family outings (Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus, and the rest of the Cyrus clan).
