On last nights episode of The Late Late Show, host James Corden complains there are too many ballads on the radio and not enough summer bops, which prompts John Legend to come out on stage, feeling attacked, since most of his songs are love songs and ballads.

Legend 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.'

Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH James Corden throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."
