Though James Corden's late night segment "Carpool Karaoke" puts the Late Late Show host's vocal skills on display, Corden is rarely (if ever) the center of musical attention. Not so at Coldplay's Sunday night show in Los Angeles.

Chris Martin brought Corden on stage -- dressed as a long lost fifth Coldplay member -- to pay tribute to Prince with a surprisingly great cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U." It's a delight to behold, and a convincing argument for Corden's very own solo "Carpool Karaoke" segment.
