Someone please tell Britney Spears it's 'Carpool Karaoke,' not 'Carpool Lip Sync'
LOS ANGELES -- We snarked at Britney Spears when CBS announced that the prodigal pop priestess would be doing "Carpool Karaoke," because we're big grumpy meanies and sometimes we can't help ourselves.
It was something not very imaginative, like but will she be actually singing it live, because again, we are grouchy trolls and couldn't resist poking fun at Britney -- never really known as a vocal powerhouse -- for agreeing to this horse hockey.
What was supposed to happen next: Britney straps on her seat belt and, like the gamely professional she's long since come to be, perfectly shuts down us nattering nabobs of negativity by singing her very best.

What was not supposed to happen: Britney just barely baby-voice-whispers her way through her own song, utterly overpowered by serial try-hard James Corden. Or maybe she doesn't even sing at all, just kind of half-mouths the words.
The Late Late Show with James Corden released a teaser of the segment on Tuesday and ... hooboy.
Oh Britney. What is this poison paradise? Don't you know that we're toxic?
The Late Late Show airs "Carpool Lip Sync" with Britney Spears on Thursday night.
