Michael participated in a sketch with Corden for Comic Relief in 2011 that would eventually become the now-famous "Carpool Karaoke." Corden recounted, "It was the first time I ever sang in a car with anybody."
Growing more emotional as he spoke, Corden went on to explain how producers used the tape to entice other artists to participate in the show's new bit "Carpool Karaoke" once he became The Late Late Show's host. "When we started the show here [in the States], we would try to get people to do 'Carpool Karaoke,' and not many artists wanted to do it," Corden said. "We would send them this clip of me and George, and we sent it to Mariah Carey, and she was the first person to say yes. Her words were, 'If it's good enough for George, then it's good enough for me'."
Michael helped paved the way for the show's viral hit, and it's something Corden hasn't ever forgotten. Towards the beginning of his speech, Corden admitted, "I feel like I've loved George Michael as long as I've loved music in a way." Watch the original version of what would become "Carpool Karaoke"

Standing shirtless against a wall, Soulja Boy addressed his fans. "I just want to send an apology," he said. "Over the past couple of months, I've been acting out, I've been wildin' out, and at the end of the day it's not about who start the beefs, it's about who end them."
He talked about the emotional state he's been in ever since his mother was taken to the hospital. Although he doesn't go into details about what sent her there, he explained that it left him feeling raw. "No amount of money, no amount of cars, no amount of fame would make me be alright, you know, with knowing my mom's sick or anything happen to my mom," he said. "I love my mother."
That love translated into acknowledging his actions in recent days. "I know she's not proud of my actions and what I've been doing recently," he said. Soulja Boy added at the end, "I want to make music with Chris Brown, Yachty, Quavo, everybody." Watch the video

In her first interview since that performance, Carey spoke with Entertainment Weekly about the six minutes that ruined her New Year's Eve. Having worked with the show and its namesake before, she claimed if Clark were still involved the night wouldn't have unfolded the way it did.
"I'm of the opinion that Dick Clark would not have let an artist go through that and he would have been as mortified as I was in real time," she said. Read more
