Christina Aguilera proves she is still a fighter as she teams up with Melissa McCarthy for Carpool Karaoke

Pop sensation Christina Aguilera has revisited some of her greatest hits in the latest edition of Carpool Karaoke, complete with a pink rhinestone microphone.

Under the usual guise of “helping” The Late Late Show host James Corden get to work, Aguilera left everyone in awe of her astonishing vocal range.

Reaffirming her role as one of the industry’s greatest talents, the singer demonstrated her signature ‘growl’ which Corden tried and failed to emulate when singing along to her 2002 hit single Fighter.

Corden also used the singing session as a chance to grill the artist on her time on the Mickey Mouse Club alongside Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling.

She said: “[Timberlake] had swag. Back then he had swag.

“But I know Ryan did have a crush on Britney. I think so.”

In a surprise turn of events, comedian Melissa McCarthy also appeared in the backseat of the SUV to contribute to the rendition of one of Aguilera’s most famous anthems, Dirty.

Promoting their upcoming film, Life of the Party, the comedian flawlessly covered Rapman’s verse and knew the rap word-for-word.

After the group sing-along, the Gavin and Stacey star surprised the musical diva with three bedazzled microphones and invited Aguilera to “teach” himself and McCarthy how to be a “full VH1 diva” of pop music’s yesteryear.

Finishing on what is perhaps her most famous song, Aguilera rounds off her SUV-performance of Beautiful by holding Corden’s hand.
