Okay, you have to give it up to Jewel and the (hysterical) site Funny Or Die.
Jewel recently agreed to have make-up artists (from F.O.D.) put her in disguise so she could roll into a Karaoke bar and surprise the unsuspecting patrons.
It worked. And it’s, well, darn it, it’s kind of heartwarming.
A few quick observations:
1. Jewel has aged very well. In fact, she seems more smoking than she did 10 years ago. And she obviously has a sense of humor. Good for her!
2. Funny Or Die rules. They’ve already got the (first?) epic Mel Gibson mash-up. Go check it out. Just do it.
3. Jewel is very smart, and this latest adventure indicates that her business acumen is very in tune with the times. At the top of the video, on the site, it announces that she has a new CD out. I’m certain this will help her move more units than she otherwise would. Good for her, and good for Funny Or Die for making that happen. It’s a very rare win-win where everyone comes away happier, and hopefully richer. That’s America, without (much of) the disgusting free-market aftertaste.
4. That old dude they interview has a brilliant t-shirt on. Rock on, Pops!
5. Also, the audience’s reaction to her (in costume) once she starts singing proves that no matter what you look like, you are about one hundred times hotter if you have a good singing voice.
