In this video, Funny or Die gets Jewel, the amazing country singer, to go undercover and fool local karaoke-goers into thinking she's 'Karen,' a frozen food specialist. One by one, Karen's colleagues get up and take their turn at the mic, but during their songs, they all rooting for Karen to come up and sing a song herself.
Little did the audience know that Karen is really singer Jewel who would sing one of her own songs. Jewel goes through quite the transformation, donning a fake nose, a wig and glasses to make her unrecognizable.
