The Late Late Show with James Corden
When James Corden recaps his experience seeing the upcoming documentary "Hitsville: The Making of Motown," he admits that although the film is great, he prefers the soulful hits of today's artists. But when the legend Smokey Robinson shows up to challenge that idea, the two settle the debate with an old fashioned riff-off, thanks to a little help from The Filharmonic.

After James Corden complains there are too many ballads on the radio and not enough summer bops, John Legend feels personally attacked and challenges James to a riff-off, bops vs. ballads, featuring a cappella versions of 'Sucker' by Jonas Brothers, 'bad guy' by Billie Eilish, 'Someone You Loved' by Lewis Capaldi, 'I Swear' by All-4-One, and John Legend's hit 'All of Me.'
When James shares how he fell into a boy band wormhole recently, Liam Payne shows up with The Filharmonic to challenge Corden's claim that boy bands are superior to solo artists, settling it with a riff-off featuring music from *NSYNC, George Michael, Hansen and One Direction.
While James is lamenting over the lack of soul and sexiness from modern male vocalists, Usher and Luke Evans crash the show to take exception and settle the dispute with a riff-off of songs from Marvin Gaye, K-Ci & Jojo and Foreigner.
