Michelle Obama is a cool First Lady and it's evident in James Corden's latest edition of Carpool Karaoke which was first teased a few days ago. Played during his Wednesday, July 20 episode of "The Late Late Show with James Corden", the segment opened with Corden about to take White House tour which then took "an unthinkable turn" when the First Lady joined him for a spin.
The duo first sang to Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered". "I love Stevie Wonder," Mrs. Obama said of her favorite artist. "I think I know every Stevie song on the planet." Asked when the last time she rocked out in a car, she said she did a rock-out several months ago with her daughter who learnt to drive.
Corden also asked her what she's going to miss the most when she's leaving the White House. "I'm going to miss the people," she said. "That's gonna be hard." They then launched into a rendition of Beyonce Knowles' "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)".
The two also talked about President Obama and the First Lady's Secret Service code names. Hers is "Renaissance" and her husband's is "Renegade." The next song played in the car was "This Is for My Girls" which Kelly Clarkson, Missy Elliott, Lea Michele and more recorded to support the Peace Corps Let Girls Learn Fund. Elliott made a surprise appearance to sing the song. The raptress also joined them to sing her hit "Get Ur Freak On", before she had to leave.
Shortly after the segment aired, the Secret Service tweeted, "Thank you @JKCorden and the @thelatelateshow for bringing @FLOTUS home safe and sound after #CarpoolKaraoke. We were watching."
Elliott has opened up about singing with Mrs. Obama. "When we got in the car and I saw her rapping 'Get Ur Freak On,' it kind of bugged me out!" she told PEOPLE. "I know for a fact that it was all over my face like, 'Wait, is she rapping this?' But that goes to show you just how cool she is. People hold her in such a high regard - as you should - but she's so down to Earth. I was just sitting in the back like, 'I gotta be dreaming. This ain't even real. Is somebody going to wake me up and say, 'You overslept.' ' "
