Have you ever performed karaoke at a bar?

Although not everyone has done it, many of us have probably had at least a few occasions where we had enough drinks to get up there onstage and belt out one of our favorite tunes. Still, part of the appeal of bar karaoke usually is that it gives us a chance to let loose and be unselfconscious in a roomful of friends and strangers. The point of bar karaoke, usually, is just to have fun and not to be a technically excellent singer.

Every once in a while, though, a performance comes along that changes that stereotype.

The woman in this performance is just one example of this happening in real time.

According to the karaoke screen in the video itself, the woman in question is named Rae Nicole. Before the performance starts, Nicole grabs her drink and gets up to the microphone as “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood flashes across the screen. Before the song starts, one of her friends in the front row is clearly excited. “Have you ever heard Rachel sing?” she asks another of the friends in the front.

Before long, Nicole sets into the iconic country song.

As the song begins, Nicole slots perfectly into the raspy and mischievous tone of Underwood’s song.

Before long, she’s into the chorus and her voice is soaring along with the lyrics. By this point, the crowd is fully into the performance—and she takes a moment to have another sip of her drink! Before long, it’s time for verse two. By this point, the audience is cheering and singing along with her!

As she gets into the second chorus, she gets a spontaneous round of applause.

She soars through the rest of the performance and gets a big round of applause at the end.

While this was just supposed to be a fun performance for some friends, the clip has gotten more than three million view on YouTube so far!

Although karaoke is fun to any song that you can put your heart into, there’s something about Carrie Underwood’s songs that seems to attract all kinds of performers.

Beyond this video, there’s a similar clip out of an Underwood performance that might be even more impressive.

If you’ve ever been to Nashville, you know that they don’t call it “Music City” for nothing!

Nearly everyone who works a service job in Nashville probably has a few records of their own on the side or at least has aspirations to superstardom. For more evidence of this, consider another clip from a bar in Nashville of this multi-tasking bartender! The woman in question is Kristin Giannini who at the time was bartending at WannaB’s Karaoke Bar. As the clip starts, she can be heard singing “Blown Away,” another smash single from Underwood.

Although she’s singing it perfectly, Giannini is also working the register and pouring drinks!




As the clip goes on, she never misses a single note or word while taking on her bartending responsibilities at the same time!

Needless to say, there’s just something about Carrie Underwood songs that seems to get the crowd (and the performers) going. In any event, these two have shown the whole world that karaoke performances don’t just have to be throwaway songs to blow off a little steam. Sometimes they can capture the entire crowd’s attention—and then get shared on YouTube to capture the world’s attention. Neve stop trying to follow your dreams, guys!
