I was just going to link this video when I saw it this morning on OMG Blog, but then I watched it and I’m such a sap that I almost started crying! It touched me like a kind of reverse Susan Boyle story.

Anyway the people at Funny or Die set up a scenario where Jewel donned a prosthetic nose, dark wig and glasses to go to a karaoke bar in Santa Monica with a bunch of actors playing her work colleagues. They got up the anticipation by yelling for “Karen” to take the stage. Then when Jewel started singing – and of course sounded just like Jewel – the crowd went wild. She sang another one of her songs to their delight and cheers, and eventually left. Jewel took off her disguise and came back to sing more while everyone marveled that she was there. There’s no way I can do this video justice, so please watch it when you get a chance. It’s a great concept and the way they played it off was kind of triumphant.
