    Jewel Goes Undercover At L.A. Karaoke Bar

    We haven't heard much from singer Jewel lately. Or maybe she's just been in disguise. The full-time folk singer and part-time yodeler went undercover at a Los Angeles karaoke bar to sing some of her best-known songs to a confused and delighted audience.

    With a crew in tow from Funny Or Die, the singer played the part of a mild-mannered business woman named "Karen," who had to be egged on to take the stage and sing. Many of Karen's "friends" were actually actors from the comedic website. Sporting a fake nose, a boring business suit, and a dark wig, the singer acted shy, took the stage, and then promptly rocked the bar with her signature tunes.

    Watching the clips, you can see the audience begin to realize that something is definitely up. Unsuspecting gawkers comment that "she sounds like Jewel," but few, if any, realize that the singer sounds like Jewel for a reason. She is Jewel.

    Watch below for the prep, the performance, and the aftermath of the light-hearted prank. Beware that there is some saucy language...

      I think that is wonderful, and a great way to connect to fans. More singers need to take her lead, to many of them think if you want to hear my voice live you have to pay. I heard that when Elvis was alive he entered a contest karoake contest and came in 3rd.

      They should have had Jewel sing just without her wig, nose, and glasses at the end but still dressed as Karen.

      Personally, I liked Karen. Too bad she's not real.

      Gotta love Jewel! Too bad so many nieve people are hung up on making comments about a freggin snaggle tooth she fix eons ago instead of embracing her and her awesomeness hahahaha

      That was just so funny when she sang as Karen and then came back out as Jewel and sang. It was a riot. I Hope they do more of these things. For those of you picking on her teeth it's her trademark. You remember her because of that. She' s laughing all the way to the bank and where are you? Nowhere idiots. Atleast she is one of the more humble celebrities. Let's see Beyonce or Miley Cyrus do this.

      Is it me or is the old man at the end of the whole thing a lil bit creepy and then he starts to job off. STALKER

      great gig but would of been better if she did a "tootsie" routine at the end and started taking off her disguise as she sang.
    • Niecie  •  1 year 10 months ago
      that was pretty cool!

      What fun it must have been to have been there and be surprised like that. I have the feeling this may start a trend where well known singers disquise themselves and go into Karoke bars sing just for the fun of it and to see the expressions and listen to the comments people make. Were I a well known singer I would do this and then buy drinks for everyone in the place afterword as my way of thanking them for being my fans. I am sure that any singer who does this will only increase their fan base and sell more recordings. Everybody has fun and that is what they are there for and they will have more fun than they ever thought they would have. Go for it singers and give it a shot. We are waiting to see who is next. How about Cher doing this in Vegas. That would be a riot to see and hear.
