TEETH!

Not the crowd I remember at the Gas Light. But, Santa Monica's GL aside, anywhere in this country I've been and watched karaoke (not that there have been many) they've been very interested in the voice over the look.

She's pretty much household name status here in Australia... in case you care
>> ^Deano:

I suppose it comes down to your definition - I'd imagine that U2 have sold considerably more and are household names into the bargain. Also her sales breakdown suggests she's better known in the U.S. I don't think she'd be instantly recognised in the UK for instance.

I can't name one of them either, but then again I'm the last person to ask about pop music.

Really like this sift.
I went to a pub once with a friend of mine. He was in a band and with a few of his friends who were doing a music degree. The pub happened to have a karaoke on that night and people were getting up and singing, or at least trying to.
A couple of the girls we were with got up to sing. They were both incredible singers and both of them silenced the bar. It was incredible, really talented people. I wouldn't have been surprised to find out they were famous people in drag. Unfortunately the world doesn't work like that and there are very few breaks for these people.
I'm upvoting for the way Jewel could light up the bar without people knowing who she was. She didn't need the fame to carry her. She deserves to be where she is, she's a talent. Some of those in the spotlight really couldn't pull this off.


I have a friend who's a rising Opera star. She has a similar ability to completely spellbind people who don't even know her. At her mom's birthday party the whole restaurant was dead silent for a few minutes after she sang happy birthday.

Congratulations! Your video, Undercover Karaoke with Jewel, has reached the #1 spot in the current Top 15 New Videos listing. This is a very difficult thing to accomplish but you managed to pull it off. For your contribution you have been awarded 2 Power Points.

This achievement has earned you your "Golden One" Level 3 Badge!

I have heard of her but I'm not sure she's ever been so mega-successful that I could name one of her songs. I think I heard a poppy one a few years ago and felt it was so-so. Still, an enjoyable bit of marketing I guess.

I did karoake once in Cyprus. After 18 southern comfort and cokes. It was not pretty.

Who is Jewel?

But yeah, who is jewel? If she started singing in a karaoke bar i'd think "hey that's really damn good", then she'd whip off the costume, come back in and i'd be like "hey, there's yet another good singer, she sounds like the first one, where the hell are all these brilliant singers with similar voices coming from?"

Then i'd think "wtf am i doing in a karaoke bar?" and leave. Probably step on somoene's foot on the way out and accidentally cause a fight that carries on behind me as i leave unharmed.

Why does Jewel look like Will Farrel?


Because Internet Explorer plus VideoSift plus FunnyOrDie = Will Farrel

Well with that attitude, we'll NEVER get Nickelback to do it.>> ^Morganth:

I may have to starting listening to Jewel. Also, Nickelback sucks.
