James Corden names the Irish act he wants for Carpool Karaoke

It's not who you would expect.

James Corden

We could so see this happening.

Some of the biggest names in the music industry have joined James Corden in his car for a singsong. We’re talking about his ingenious segment, Carpool Karaoke, which sits as part of his CBS talk show. The viral segment has proved so popular that it got its own spin-off series with different celebrities taking to the wheel while belting out the tunes.

But, of all the singers and actors who have taken part, James very rarely, if ever has anyone Irish on board. While he has had the likes of Niall Horan, when he was in One Direction, Carpool Karaoke is missing a bit of Irish talent.

James agrees and thinks that an all Irish episode makes perfect sense. When speaking to us, during his promotional interviews for his latest movie Peter Rabbit, he chose his ideal Irish Carpool Karaoke line-up and it sounds like the dream.

James said:

“For me, I’m a huge fan of Gary Lightbody, and his band Snow Patrol, so I would like to form some sort of supergroup with like Gary Lightbody, Damien Rice, two of the Corrs… that’s enough for a car isn’t it? That’s a fun group. And then maybe we’ll just put Domhnall (Gleeson) and Saoirse (Ronan) in the boot just to add some BVs. Now that I’m saying this out loud I’m starting to think that this is a really good idea.”

So, watch this space and cross your fingers for this Carpool Karaoke.

James and Domhnall both star in the live action version of Peter Rabbit, which is one of the best children’s movies we’ve seen in a long while. It manages to work effortlessly for adults, while staying faithful to the children’s book.
