Ep 19. Ben Platt & Sara Bareilles

In season 2, episode 19 of Carpool Karaoke, we join actor and singer Ben Platt and singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles as they take a ride with host James Corden.

As they cruise through the streets of Los Angeles, the trio discusses their love of musical theater and even takes a detour to perform a short scene from "Les Miserables." The energy in the car is high as the trio chat and sing together, with Corden challenging Platt and Bareilles to hit some impressively high notes.

Platt gives a powerful rendition of his hit song "Grow As We Go," which prompts Bareilles to share her admiration for his songwriting abilities. The pair then duet on Bareilles' song "She Used to Be Mine," from her Broadway hit show "Waitress," with Platt impressing with his harmonies and emotional delivery.

As the car pulls up to a red light, the group decides to surprise some fans on the sidewalk with an impromptu performance of one of Bareilles' hits, "Love Song." The fans are thrilled to join in on the fun and sing along with the trio, capturing the heart of what Carpool Karaoke is all about - bringing people together through the love of music.

The group also pays tribute to the late Aretha Franklin by singing her classic hit "Respect," with Bareilles taking on the lead vocals and Platt showcasing some seriously impressive harmonies.

As the ride nears its end, Corden pulls out a special activity for the group - a lyric scavenger hunt. As they ride around the city, the trio spots various billboards and signs and must sing a song that contains one of the words on them. It's a hilarious and entertaining end to a spectacular episode full of exceptional voices and pure joy.

For fans of Platt and Bareilles, this Carpool Karaoke episode is a must-see. Their talent and chemistry shine through as they join Corden for a ride full of laughter and unforgettable musical moments.
