MY REVIEW OF You Watch for James
The unusual
title is what caught my eye and drew me to this book. But as soon as I started
reading it, the content grabbed hold of my undivided attention. Apparently, I
am behind the times. I have never heard of Carpool Karaoke, nor that it is the
new rave on YouTube. Before reading any further, I had to go online and see
just what the author was raving about. An hour later, I was still watching the
hilarious and sometimes awkward videos.
I am unfamiliar with James Corden, and I have
never watched him. But after watching the videos, I can see why he makes the
perfect host. It’s clear to me that the reason this works so well is because he
is singing along with the actual artist, as opposed to him staging it all
himself. That would not interest me at all. And now that you have hooked me,
you tell me that there will be a different host. I’m sorry, but I can’t see how
changing would help. I agree with the author on that point. Thank you Mr.
Barton for introducing me to this form of entertainment. I doubt I would have
found it otherwise.
