1999 v 2019 Riff-Off w/ Camila Cabello

When James Corden takes a moment to opine on the hits that defined 1999, Camila Cabello shows up with The Filharmonic ready to defend the biggest bops of 2019, and the only way to settle it is a riff off. Camila offers Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" and Shawn Mendes' "If I Can't Have You," and James counters with Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca" and Santana's "Smooth," before the two settle a beef over a duet of Camila's "Señorita."

Camila singing a song that's literally about her is just another level for me

[leafiedler]

I’m still waiting for James to Interview Camila and Shawn like back in the days when they said there where JUST FRIENDS

[magahmendes]

james: i've got hits from before you were born
camila: i've got hits that were written about me

[addas]

I have to say James does a lot of hard work. Plan each show, learn the lyrics and the tunes of very single song ever recorded, set the stage, work with every I can't even imagine.

[Lmswills]

Remember how everyone say Camila wasn’t gonna go anywhere after she left fifth harmony.... look at her now.

[mp]

I love how even when she tries to look rude she is adorable

[allen]

Why is nobody talking about how well the back up sings are. Let's not forget there is no band music.

*Camila:* "I can't write one song that's not about you"
*Shawn:* I wrote it for you

[marvelzblinks]

She's singing her boyfriend's music, THE MUSIC THAT WAS WRITTEN FOR HER, it's the best thing ever guys I'M SCREAMING

[judy_-b]

Everybody talking about Camila and James but like the guys that are beat boxing and harmonizing in the back are amazing

[ammaarahali]

when she said "okay old man" it had the same energy as when shawn said "we get it you're old"

[hearticc]

CAMILA’S VOICE WHEN SHE WAS SINGING OLD TOWN ROAD- OMG GLORIOUS.

[queen.t]

I love how she sang her boyfriends song that was actually written for her

[HEHEHEBESTTRICKshots]

Camilla: “I make music today”
James: “congratulations, I’m thrilled for you...”
😂😂😂

Imagine being that naturally glowing, curvy, talented, likable, and feminine. Camila you're alright too.

[santigarcia]

Camila fighting singing a song of her boyfriend written for him to her when they were still not couple. Thats fire 🔥

[youidiot]

When she said “ladies and gentleman, the philharmonic” I thought she was gonna say fifth harmony and I chocked

[nallelycamacho]

Funny how she's doing 2019 songs when we all know her favorite are early 2000s late 1990s that's all she listens to on spotify

[SteetsVeno]

Camila is so charming and funny, it’s been a while since I’ve heard from her but I’m glad she’s still so charismatic❤️ She’s so good!
