Was Britney uncomfortable on her Carpool Karaoke? Others were

[none]

Who knows? But this at least helps explore more an artist' filming process of it... Apparently the Foo Fighters weren't comfortable on theirs

"It got less fun - it kinda went on"

It seems that James Corden’s ‘Carpool Karaoke’ is not always as fun as it seems, as Foo Fighters have said that they found the experience “a little uncomfortable”.

The band made their debut appearance on the popular segment for Corden’s ‘Late Late Late Show‘ last month –  where they belted out karaoke renditions of Foos classics ‘All My Life’, ‘Best Of You’, ‘Learn To Fly’ and recent single ‘The Sky Is A Neighborhood’ from acclaimed new album ‘Concrete And Gold‘. However, it seems that after a while, the band found the experience somewhat tiresome.

“By hour three in dude’s car it got less fun,” guitarist Pat Smear told NME. “It kinda went on. When we stopped at Guitar Centre, that felt like we were done, but it was like ‘this is halfway’.”

Dave Grohl said that it was “a little uncomfortable”, but didn’t doubt that James Corden was a real music lover. However, he wasn’t too happy about being made to sing his own songs.

“Oh he definitely is [a music lover],” Grohl told NME. “And he’s a very nice guy. But y’know, I don’t mind singing my own songs at Glastonbury or The O2 but if I had to sing you a song right now I’d be too embarrassed.”

After Smear said that “singing other people’s songs would have been easier”, Grohl added: “I could do that all day. We did The Ramones, and Rick Astley, but they didn’t use it. I don’t know why.”

Thoughts?

Why do artists hate their own music? If I was making songs, I would be bumping to them 

[BabyOneMoreTime.]

I remember Britney saying it was kind of awkward in an interview, forget which one

[Tazosh]

I would also feel intimidated by James Corden

He seems like a nice guy but also really overbearing and annoying, I wouldn't blame Britney.

and you know she's over her old songs. as iconic as they are, I can't blame her for not wanting to do songs she did when she was a teenager over and over (though ironically that's what her residency is about )

If she's over her old songs then she should go on a limited date tour where she only performs album tracks and fan favorites.

That's what I've always said. If they had made her sing some Michael songs, or Madonna, Whitney, Janet, it would've been very different. Maybe just BOMT and MM if that was the new one, but we all know, except James Corden, how Britney feels about her own songs. And I don't think it's that she doesn't like them, but it's just awkward for her.

James Corden is a ***** though. He always tries to outsing his guests. Also he's not funny sometimes. So yeah it can get a little awkward.

[Guest BreatheOnMoi]

Clearly he's an annoying ****. I knew for sure when he went on the Jimmy Kimmel show and joked about his experience with Britney.

I think because they have to sing them over and over and over again for the rest of their lives.  Even the best bops get boring after 100 spins, until you take a long break from it and listen to it again lol.

Of course she was uncomfortable, as was many artists on that segment. 

She has been vocal about being uncomfortable in 1:1 situations, especially on camera... if there was an audience or one other person in that car, she'd probably feel a bit more at ease but still a little uncomfortable.   I can imagine how awkward it feels being alone in a car with a camera right on your face and you have to sing with person who's overbearing and always singing louder than the other artists.... I can totally bet she's totally on the same page as Dave Grohl.  When you're singing karaoke in the car or shower, you sing OTHER people's songs not your own.   That's why when you see some of the other more comfortable artists doing it, they focus more on other people's songs than their own as well.

[redacted statement]

Why is this even a question? 

[WilderWein]

I actually think it's a terrifying situation to be in if you are even just a little shy and it is akward, it's different from performing on a stage.
