Undercover Karaoke with Jewel

[sinisterswiper]

Jewel is so great for doing this.. she is awesome.. Love her...

[dwaydway1]

whats the number for 911....I just saw JEWEL "Foolish Games" 1998 ,now my heart keeps skipping beats......

[milton123]

would have been better if they artist who had more well known songs. i dunno maybe its just me who didn't know the songs

[TiaBean1313]

wish I had been there.....

[NChin241]

"I wrote a song when I was 18, and here we are years later and like a whole bar..."

lol, "You Were Meant For Me" was written almost exclusively by Steve Poltz.

[JamieLeeCurtiz]

@NChin241

"You Were Meant For Me" was written almost exclusively by Steve Poltz"

Except of course that it sounds almost identical in style to many of her other songs which did not involve Mr Poltz at all... And I'm pretty sure you have no evidence of what you claim, in the least...unless you were hiding under a table in the room, when they were writing it. lol

[NChin241]

@JamieLeeCurtiz

All you need to have done was do a little research.

There is a 2006 documentary "Before The Music Dies" which has Steve Poltz describing at length about him being principle song writer, chords and melody included. Aside from that the RIAA has easily acessible and public filings of song ownership, all you need to have done was look it up.

[JamieLeeCurtiz]

@NChin241

I've actually seen that doc. lol. And Steve Poltz doesn't describe anything about the construction of the song that Jewel couldn't describe herself. Also, the RIAA lists Poltz and Jewel as co-writers, with equal ownership. And moreover, Mr Poltz had nothing to do with her other hits, including Foolish Games (& Who Will Save Your Soul, for that matter). If I were a middle-aged songwriter, whose career had never reached the heights of co-writers, I'd be bitter about it too.

[Chaiteaist]

this is great! thats what I would do if I were famous.

[Paddyllfixit]

voice and face of an angel. Congrats on her first baby boy.

[miah914]

i have loved you since i was a kid and always will jewel you are wonderful.

[ashleytoashes13]

LMFAO at the chick @4:03

[hotboyme]

Finally a real talent, I am tired of pop stars.

[TheCHilton3d]

stupid adds.

[wblakesx]

all she needs to do is make beautiful notes. she can do that without breaking a sweat

[dukeof1999]

I have seen many stars singing karaoke

it brings the better singers too.

[gstung]

Karen was so much hotter.

[Doodeloodeloo]

3:04 Drunk as a skunk :))

[MichaelDeMichele]

this was awesome. im glad jewel sang her original stuff. the labels tried to pop her out and her sweetness was always what made her the star she is.

[poopoopedoopify]

Oh.

[yugs]

They should put up the original unedited footage of Karen singing from beginning to end!!!!!!!!

[shiwanthabm]

Justing Bieber tried to this ... everybody ran out of the bar ... now the owner is bankrupt

[wmc5748]

I love the look of the girl at 4:04!!!

[muggvox]

Wait a minute... No auto-tune? no lip syncing? no stupid attitude? no lines about shots of Patron and droppin' Benny's on Henny? No waking up and feeling like P. Diddy? OOOOoooooohhhhh, that's right, this is when artists actually had to work for their respect/fans/fame/and keep... It's a damn shame.

[viliyarg]

I'd bang that Dj.. FO Sho

[payodhara4]

@Trokair you sound ooold

[paulndorothy]

Wow! They made her look exactly like Ashlee Simpson, no?

[akamaidj]

5:28 - JEWEL!!!!!!!

[jackster1212]

It's almost worth going out and living in a van for awhile, cutting a few songs and selling a few million records, and becoming hugely famous, just to get a chance to pull off something like this. Almost. Great prank.

[gma683e066736]

I would love to see "Karen" on American Idol or X-Factor.

[Support4MySingers]

SO GOOD!

[jamesjiao]

My favourite country singer. 

[lttguys]

that guy at 3:07....yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­

[MsDutchie73]

uh everyone knew all the words cauz they were on a big screen...duh

[wankerpanther]

She should have come out as Jewel and totally bombed the performance haha

[ziaolol]

@wankerpanther my thoughts. she should take off the nose etc while singing XD

[nocarmar]

I was kind of ga-ga over Karen! 

[AJillion96]

"She sounds like jewel!" said lady. "I am," said Jewel. "Oh my............"said fainted lady.

[200wildmanchris200]

Why the FUCK can't I ever meet a female celebrity like her where I go to sing karaoke, goddammit!??

[AJillion96]

breaeeeking mah haaaaaaeeehhhhhhhheheheheart!!­!...o my god

[BarbVValters]

I've been trying to do this for years. The only problem is that I can't seem to get famous. As soon as I do though... I'm putting on a freaking wig and singing my own songs somewhere. Which reminds me... I need some songs.

[mattolsen]

@BarbVValters And some Wigs!

[poopoopedoopify]

@BarbVValters I'll write you some songs. Just let me know if you'd like some.

[XmojeebX]

I WISH I WAS THERE =(

[nettyy7777]

tooo flippin awesome...

[Naverpace]

There kind of videos are the reason to keep coming back to youtube.

[modo101]

4:03 says it all. That's an amazing voice. Blessed to be there when that happened. I love playing that back over and over, just to see the perfectness of that moment.

[modo101]

When nobody knows who she is and they respond with mouths open and incredulity, with a person who they don't know is famous, that is a beautiful, gifted voice, that touches our souls, famous or not. That is the best. Jewel, you 'da bomb. Ugly or not, famous or not, you made our jaws drop and our eyes fill with tears because of the beauty of it all.

[ziaolol]

Haha, that's so awesome! It's great that there are still singers that do these kind of 'simple' things :D

[blacklabel3980]

Are there any other Videos Like these?

[ziaolol]

@blacklabel3980 yeah, i'd love to see more!

[ampedxx]

This should be done with Kelly Clarkson.

[0o0oLeeleeo0o0]

@ampedxx Totally what I was thinking...

[sporty04]

That was awesome! Fun for the crowd and a cool experience for Jewel too.

[KiwifruitFig]

They shouldn't have brought in the real Jewel afterward.

[ke3wh]

That was fun to watch

[StingBrim]

The strangest thing I find here is her surprize that they are serious about karoke. She had no clue!

[nedrathemountaingirl]

so sweet!

[dearmissedessa]

Karen was hot

[TipTopTimes]

I wish more famous singers would do this.

Such a fun video and Jewel makes it brilliant. =]

[LexieHaddon]

4:00

[xkillerkiwi666x]

yay! My name is Karen!!

[icemanbx]

See, now this is how you garner fans, and make them wanna buy your stuff!

[animalctba]

it's great what midia can do nowadays hun? =D

[animalctba]

it would be fun to see her at a karaoke.

[taipan4523]

also, gramps is great

[taipan4523]

Lol, It would've been pretty funny if she just ripped her nose of in the middle of the song and just keep on singing.

[zigvz]

Next up, Jewel auditions for American Idol

[kozpetratos]

i admire Jewel, she's so sweet

[ShesThe1yup]

LOVE you JEWEL woohoo

[DarKTsunG]

I gotta say I found her pretty attractive as Karen.

[MattCat8]

who is jewel?

[Stilbestrol]

5:51 "Enough Jewel!"

[TonkarzOfSolSystem]

This wasn't *funny*, but it *was* awesome.

[merlinfromberlin37]

i did NOT use the wadsworth constant on this video.

[1hlynur]

who the fuck is jewel?

[moakley]

@1hlynur she's like Ruby

[1hlynur]

@moakley

who the fuck is Ruby?

[NamelessBlaze]

This would be more awesome if i knew who the hell Jewel is.

[linroprall]

troll jewel

[TakeItToTheRink]

I like how they didn't get it.

[madpuppy1000]

@vincero1 With all due respect, when did this video become about you?

[skelseys]

this was a great set up, wish i was there.

[bboysoy]

I met her once, she's awesome.

[wardenfiddyblunt]

The fact that somebody who is so famous can do something like this for people is incredible, its a shame this doesn't happen more often.

[heiajulaften]

Why is HE telling US whom we can't marry

[jFR33Kz]

love this...

[TipTopTimes]

Still beautiful with the big nose and glasses. =]

[TipTopTimes]

So fun to watch. I love Jewel. =]

[mkelly534]

This was a great prank. Really enjoyed watching it.

[ruben1million]

73 losers are not funny and need to die.

[Badingley]

Wish there were a full version with the full songs :)

[lindakay00]

WHY WASN'T I THERE!!! I LUV U JEWEL! THAT WAS SO ENTERTAINING! PLEASE COME DO THAT IN MI!

[yuyuyuyu10]

i loveeeeeeee jewelllllllllll

[prodevel]

I'm bummed out to see Jewel "fixed" her teeth :( They were gorgeous.

[vanlore]

What is more impressive is that Jewel walked into some karaoke belted out a number of songs and her voice was awesome. Not too many singers can perform like that without all the technical tricks used to make one's voice sound better..a test of a true musician.

[spirithunting]

HEY LOOK! IT'S ASHLEY SIMPSON!! LOL!

[thomasvinen01]

lol at the guy at 4.12 haha " r u serious right now" "OMG"

[venturae]

4:29 LOL

[takerdust]

I would of asked her to sing intuition, and do a sexy little dance

[jewelstencil]

its awsome cuz my name is jewel... just plain jewel... my name is awsome

[bumaboy03]

anchorage gas lite right?

[DSOproto]

@bumaboy03

obviously if you knew anything about jewel

[A1VDREVV]

it would of been allot funnier if they said.. "oh my fucking god.. she sucked!" bahahahhaha

[JonnyLawrence]

Fuck all these stupid comments.

This was an awesome idea and an awesome video.

[1488slav]

the girl at 6:08 is smokin hot

[tybrady64]

This video should have millions of hits!!! It's one of my favorites. I'd love to see an unedited version of all the songs she sang.

[afghanspace]

Damn.. I've wanted to hit that since the 90's

[goofy775]

"you can be an ugly girl with a voice like that.. etc.." what a disgusting woman.. that's the most backhanded compliment ever.. shes got some issues she should try and work out.. trying to make herself feel better in the situation.

[Vinco]

still find everyone's reactions priceless.

[singingsophia]

haha thats hella sick n geniess

[galapin26]

Who the fuck is Jewel ?

[goofy775]

@galapin26 depends how old you are you might have missed her.. she was pretty popular like a little over a decade ago.

[Kougeru]

@goofy775 she was actually still very popular early in the 00s with hits such as "Intuition". But yeah, the mainstream music scene tends to focus on crap now days..Jewel's stage name is perfect for her because she is a jewel

[JCGrantatAC]

@galapin26 One of the top selling female musicians in history.

[alh5360]

I would have known right away.. no one can sing like jewel but jewel..such a sweet voice love her

[lifeinrectangles]

Here's a video filmed in a Japanese karaoke booth: watch?v=t5M7yVtvrfY

[theKARAOKEschool]

The best karaoke advice!!! Please share. wwwKARAOKEschool com/advice html

[settledown11]

I would say this is the greatest Funny or Die sketch ever. Thanks, Jewel.

[kranktank]

paint her green she could be Elphaba

[0ucantstopme0]

I'm a middle-aged guy who didn't really know who Jewel was or the songs she performs. I've watched this about 6 times over the last several months and each time my eyes well up. Okay, got to go now...

[BoogyWoogyCreep]

@0ucantstopme0 - Don't think you're the only one!

[0ucantstopme0]

@BoogyWoogyCreep That's actually good to know.

[edkegger1]

@0ucantstopme0 Me too....I'm just a middle-aged construction guy from Seattle but something about her music has always made me into a little crybaby

[0ucantstopme0]

@edkegger1 Right on man. But I wish you hadn't brought me back here. I just did it again.

[rickyd0821]

She really touched some people in that place. I like Jewel.

[spinelle]

Can't believe this video is a year old. I still like to watch it occasionally. Something magical about it.

[cozygoby15]

I'd be creeped out if some old man called me sexy..

[shootshoot]

Man, you guys spent a lot on things like editing, staged people everywhere, and holy hell did you do a good job all around. Real, real impressive. No idea why this doesn't have 10 million views.

[lanceae]

Look at the fag jumping at 2:59

[shootshoot]

@lanceae Look at the fag who can't link a youtube video to a certain time, when it takes two total clicks of a mouse to do so

[lanceae]

@shootshoot you must be the fag jumping...sorry.

[zOMGLaserGunzPewPew]

She looks like lisa nova like this

[taverned]

Y'all were WRONG for doing that, but IT WAS FANTASTIC!

[thaichick80]

I love Jewel through and through. She is just a beautiful person with a amazing voice.

[wheelmanstan]

so she sang her two good songs, good thing she didnt sing her crappy country ones, or whatever they are

[YourfriendHannnah]

That awkward moment when she thinks everyone is singing along because they know the words of the song, but really they're just reading the screen.

[SeraphimValkyrin]

@YourfriendHannnah The lyrics weren't up on the screen at the end though.

[zOMGLaserGunzPewPew]

@YourfriendHannnah What time is that at?

[WetPooooopie]

She is so beautiful i sware omg

[theKARAOKEschool]

KARAOKE SCHOOL (Learn to sing karaoke)

[bearsrfunny]

She stopped the party lol but in a good way.

[ChandlerDonati]

Who the fuck is Jewel?

[coryjhill]

@ChandlerDonati How do you not know who Jewel is?!?! what are you? 5?

[ChandlerDonati]

@coryjhill No. I'm actually four. And, I can read, write, and type, fluently. Could you do that at four? Doubt it. It's very easy to not know who someone is. You just have to not know who they are.

[MyGrassIsGreenest]

@ChandlerDonati She was popular in the 90's

[ChandlerDonati]

@MyGrassIsGreenest Explains it. I was born in 96'.

[OfficialKudos]

is this real?

[psyclistic]

I don't think I would have recognized Jewel with no disguise.

[PostalTubeAlex]

Up next: Karen auditions for American Idol

[INCC74656I]

im 25 and i would recognize jewl if she came up on stage and sang with out a discise. i remember watching her music vids on MTV and VH1 back in the 90's. this is an awsome vid. i love seeing "sleeper" things like this, if i were a great singer id do this all the time!

[areuter727]

Awesome video! Should have way more views than it does.

[killpointpuppy]

There needs to be more stuff like this

[misteri0s0]

Lol the old guy at the end ran away to masturbate

[chrissline77]

@misteri0s0 .........I'm the old guy from the bar and your right! I did run off to masturbate!!!!

[frenchchefkyle]

@misteri0s0 there looks like there is a hotel that he is running to so pop a quick one off. lol lol

[nate11star]

@misteri0s0 LOL

[meadowvideos]

Is that odd note @4:02 supposed to be like that? Anyway, I've never heard anyone do something like that and it's awesome! I was like, where the hell did that come from!?

[cizzzam]

hahaha i bet all these people on here who don't know who jewel is knows who Bieber is hahaha. Pathetic to think that he is really a music superstar.

[thelondoncaller]

everyone knew the words because they were on a giant screen. lol. don't mean to ruin your moment, jewel <3

[abmackay]

@thelondoncaller I remember most of the words to her hits, despite forgetting more recent and more important things :P

[MyGrassIsGreenest]

@thelondoncaller Everyone in that bar grew up with those songs. I could easily recite the choruses to those songs she sung and I haven't listened to them in years.

[xRaeOfSunshine17x]

At 4:27 I thought it was her laughing for a second. xDD

[Goth47]

I dont even know who se is :I

[misteri0s0]

"You could be an ugly girl with a voice like that it doesn't matter." ....What?

[xxstealyourface]

Jewel was my biggest crush when I was growing up!!

[dkc4c]

If you don't know who Jewel is FUCKING USE GOOGLE

[iamhoff]

to those asking who jewel is, she was a singer from the 90s who could actually sing. much unlike artists today.

[youjustgotkaijied]

I have no idea who this chick is...

[Geistkampfer]

Wow.. Many people here don't know Jewel..

I'm getting old lol

[sporty04]

@Geistkampfer hahaha.  That's cuz they were prolly still in diapers in the 90's when she was popular. ;-)

[iunnox666]

Almost every girl I've heard sing who can actually sing are just as good as her, this looks a little planned.

[GAGLY04]

@iunnox666 your parents meant to tell you have been an accident, you were not planned

[sauna1980]

To those asking who Jewel is.

Being an ignoramus is less cool than you think

[tontyismynameyeh]

Who?
