Hi sisters, I'm James
Charles and today I'm here
to play a game of Song
Association with Elle.
If you do not know how this game works,
basically I'm going to be given a word
and I'm going to have 10 seconds
to sing a song with
that word in the lyrics.
I'm not exactly sure
how I'm gonna do today,
my fingers are crossed
that it's going to be good.
But, who knows, there's always
some weird words in there
so we're just gonna try our
best and have fun (giggles).
Before we get started,
make sure you check out
my brand new reality competition
show, "Instant Influencer,"
which is the search to find
the next beauty superstar,
streaming free on my YouTube channel.

That was a while ago.

Okay, so I don't have
any music out just yet
but my fans know that I love
singing and I'm working on it
but when I do release a song,
I definitely want it to be a pop.
I definitely would not want
like an electro part on it
or like a ballad, or also
a rap verse. (laughing)
Maybe, just maybe.

Alec Benjamin is incredibly talented.
If you've not heard his music
you should 1000% go check him out
and he is one of the nicest
musicians that I've ever met.

"Dance Monkey" by Tones and I.
Okay, if I had to answer who
my dream collaboration was
anybody that I say is just going to lead
to a lot of hate comments
saying, "You wish,"
because I haven't released any music
but in the future, if
this were a possibility,
I would probably either
have to say Doja Cat
just because I love every
single song that she puts out
and she's incredible
and I love her visuals
in music videos, too.
So I think we could align and
create something really cool.
I would also maybe say Ed Sheeran
because he is an incredible song writer
and we would definitely be
able to write a bop together
about something crazy.

"Best of Both Worlds," Hannah Montana,
also known as Miley Cyrus.
Hannah Montana was by far my
favorite show of my childhood.
I watched it every single day.
I wanted to be Hannah
Montana when I grew up.
It was the fist concert
that I ever went to,
featuring the Jonas Brothers, fun fact.
Miley, love you, girl.

I don't know the, I don't know
all the lyrics to that song
but that is Miss Hillary Duff,
queen, queen of Disney Channel,
the original queen of Disney Channel
along with Miss Raven Symoné
and I think that song
is called, "Come Clean."
I don't know how my brain is processing
all these throwback songs today.
Oh my gosh!
That was such a good song.
Makeup.

like the Fenty beauty kit ♪

That's Ariana Grande,
"Makeup," from her new album.
That song is really good.
That entire album is really good,
let me correct myself (laughs).
All right, you guys, well I
think this went pretty well,
although my vocals were
not perfect every time,
I did get a perfect score!
I have been waiting to play this game
for literally like years now,
so I feel like my destiny
has been fulfilled (chuckles).
