CRINGE: Covid-Compliant Virtual Audience Dancing Awkwardly to New Vin Diesel Song Will Haunt Your Dreams

Fast and Furious star Vin Diesel debuted his new pop song on The Kelly Clarkson Show, resulting in an awkward clip where Clarkson’s coronavirus-compliant virtual audience danced remotely to it.

“Kelly, I am so honored to be able to debut my music on your show,” said Diesel in a recorded message to the show. “I am blessed that on a year that I would normally be on a movie set — but as you know, that’s not possible — I’ve had another creative outlet. Another way to show you or share with you my heart.”

Kelly Clarkson then debuted Diesel’s new dance single Feel Like I Do as the virtual audience — streamed remotely onto rectangular 2001: A Space Odyssey-esque monoliths — danced to the tune.

The segment received mixed reactions on social media.
