Justin Bieber was minus craic in James Corden's carpool karaoke

If you won’t really sing Uptown Funk there’s something wrong.

The Late Late Show with James Corden / YouTube

JAMES CORDEN’S CARPOOL karaoke has been ramping up the celebs recently and last night’s post-Grammys edition saw Justin Bieber hitching a lift from the British comic.

Quite apart, however, from the recent editions with Adele and Chris Martin, Bieber didn’t really seem to be getting into it.

It probably didn’t help that Bieber’s songs don’t quite have the required singalong qualities, but even singing Uptown Funk he didn’t look like he wanted to be there.

There was even some questionable air guitar playing.

    You could easily mistake Bruno for a small child. What I’m saying is… please make that mistake!

    Woah woah woah. I know this is the Journal comments section but don’t go spitting out blatant untruths just for a reaction. Uptown Funk is the anthem of a generation.

    It’s a long woeful song. Genuinely hate it. On par with that “Happy” cr@p from Pharrell.

    Is uptown funk meant to be original??? It sounds a lot like “oops upside your head” or “walk the dinosaur”…
