Vin Diesel is known for his acting, not his singing, but his appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” Thursday was truly noteworthy ― but not necessarily in a good way.
The actor showed up to give the virtual audience a preview of his new dance single “Feel Like I Do,” a collaboration with Norwegian DJ Kygo.
Diesel sleepily introduced the song in a prerecorded message:
“Kelly, I am so honored to be able to debut my music on your 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.”
Clarkson then played the song while a virtual audience featured on vertical screens danced to the ditty.
Although Clarkson’s crowd seemed to be enjoying it, many Twitter users cringed at the combination of song and visuals.
The virtual Kelly Clarkson Show audience members awkwardly dancing to Vin Diesel’s new song is the funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks. pic.twitter.com/eI0BEuNSPN

I didn’t know what to expect Vin Diesel’s music to sound like, but somehow it was exactly this. It was ALWAYS this. https://t.co/zeqqoWH4Qj
