Missy Elliott Talks On Working With The Flotus On James Corden's Carpool Karaoke

Now we all know that not only can the First Lady, Michelle Obama sing, but rap like the real deal. What thoughts passed through Missy Elliott's mind when it came to working with her behind the scenes. The pair met back in March for the Change for Chimes concert and the rest they say is history. Read excerpts from her thoughts after the break.

"Just when you think you've reached the highest place, you find yourself pulling up to the White House and you're walking inside a building that you've known about since you were a little, little kid. They're taking you around and showing you [things] – even down to the plates that each president might have eaten on. It's like, 'Wow, can't believe it.'" 

"I was probably more nervous about forgetting my words,""[I was worried] I’d start mixing 'Work It' with 'The Rain' with 'Get Ur Freak On.' But I wasn't nervous about being in the car because they made me feel like they knew me." 

"When we got in the car and I saw her rapping 'Get Ur Freak On,' it kind of bugged me out! I know for a fact that it was all over my face like, 'Wait, is she rapping this?' But that goes to show you just how cool she is. People hold her in such a high regard – as you should – but she's so down to Earth. I was just sitting in the back like, 'I gotta be dreaming. This ain't even real. Is somebody going to wake me up and say, 'You overslept.'" 

Elliott says the taping was done quicker than she had imagined. "It was cool because I didn't know it was going to be one take. I'm thinking, 'We're just rehearsing!' And then they're like, 'OK, we're done!' I was like, 'Whoa, wait a minute! That was the quickest I ever shot a video!’"
