Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson Channel Gaga and Bradley In 'Shallow' Tribute
Looks like we've got another
Jackson and Ally duet on our hands.
Brie Larson and
Samuel L. Jackson took
The Jonathan Ross Show viewers on a musical journey with their own brief rendition of
A Star Is Born's Grammy- and Academy Award-winning track
"Shallow."
The pair appeared on the popular British talk show as segment of a promotion for their upcoming superhero flick
Captain Marvel, and the conversation shifted to the fact that yes, Brie Larson can
actually sing.
Following Jennifer Hudson's quick rendition of Aretha Franklin's "Respect" while discussing her starring role in the Queen of Soul's upcoming biopic, Ross was in a musical mood. He speedily reminded the audience that Larson also had an album out in the past to a shocked Hudson and Will.I.Am.
"How dare you?" Teased Brie, naturally a little bit embarrassed by Ross unearthing a veritable relic from the past. Yet she was certainly game for showing her voice off. "Should I audition for
The Voice?" She quipped.
She launched into
Cats' "Jellicle Songs For Jellicle Cats" at first, calling it her "go-to." In their makeshift
Voice "audition," both fellow visitors Hudson and Will.I.Am turned around as Larson squealed with glee.
Yet it wasn't up until her next tune that each person was truly dazzled by her vocals. Jackson cozied up close to Larson, humming the chorus to "Shallow" and mirroring the iconic poses
Lady Gaga and
Bradley Cooper assumed while in their
performance of the song at the Oscars.
Larson started belting "In the sha-la-la-la-la-lows," with an added "S." Every
A Song Is Born stan is aware it's "Shallow," however go off, Brie! She also bungled another of the song's lyrics, proclaiming "I'll never hit the ground," any time it's actually "I'll never meet the ground." Lyrical missteps aside, we gotta mention, she fully killed it with Jackson as her own personalized Bradley Cooper.
"I don't know the other words!" She joked, giggling as she launched into the rest of the song. Even Ross was impressed, uttering a "wow."
Brie's album came out whenever she was 16 (in 2005!), In the event you were wondering, and it also was called
Finally Out of P.E. Her poppy solo hit "She Mentioned may have been forgotten by right now, although you probably recall one of Larson's other big musical moments, specifically the one seen in
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
Larson took the stage as Envy Adams, one of Scott Pilgrim's maniacal exes, to sing her musical group The Clash at Demonhead's hit single, "Black Sheep." Certainly, in the real world it was a song by
Metric, yet Larson fully killed it, making the song hers in lots of ways.
As far as "Shallow," Larson and Jackson aren't the opening to mask the popular song, with
Ally Brooke and
Tori Kelly taking on a
surprise rendition of the song throughout Kelly's headlining concert, and
Nick Jonas blessing the world with an acoustic tribute on Instagram. It seems each person is still starstruck over
A Star Is Born, and honestly, we can't blame them.
If it's
Captain Marvel you're fizzing over to be able to see, there isn't that much longer to wait for it. Larson and Jackson will bring Carol Danvers and Nick Fury to life in the upcoming film on March 8.
