Our next guest-- all
she was trying to do
was catch a train
in the London Tube,
and now she is one
of the hottest videos
on internet-- here's why.
Finish the lyrics!
(SINGING) Tell me
something, girl--
are you happy in
this modern world?
(SINGING) Or do you need more?
Wow!
[LAUGHTER]
Keep going!
(SINGING) Ain't it hard
keeping so hardcore?
Wow, you're really
good-- keep going.
(SINGING) I'm off the deep end--
watch as I dive in.
I'll never meet the ground.
Wow!
(SINGING) Crash
through the surface
where they can't hurt us--
we're far the shallow now.
[LAUGHTER]
You're brilliant!
[APPLAUSE]
And then her life changed.

from Essex, England--
please welcome Charlotte Awbery.
[APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC - CHARLOTTE AWBERY,
 "SHALLOW"]
(SINGING) Tell me
something, boy--
aren't you tired trying
to fill that void?
Or do you need more?
Ain't it hard
keeping so hardcore?
I'm falling.
In all the good times, I find
myself longing for change.
And in the bad
times, I fear myself.
I'm off the deep end--
watch as I dive in.
I'll never meet the ground.
Crash through the surface--
where they can't hurt us.
We're far from the shallow now.
In the shall-- shallow.
In the shallow,
shallow, shallow.
In the shall-- shallow.
We're far from the shallow now.
Ooh.
Oh, whoa.
Oh, Oh.
Oh, whoa!
(SINGING) I'm off the deep
end-- watch as I dive in.
I'll never meet the ground.
Crash through the surface--
where they can't hurt us.
We're far from the shallow now.
[APPLAUSE]
Wow!
Wow!
[APPLAUSE]
Hello.
Hi, Charlotte!
So nice to meet
you-- oh, my gosh.
It's so nice to meet you.
OK, this is crazy.
And I think a lot of people
think that was staged.
It was not staged.
There was a guy, and you
were on your way-- where?
I was literally on my
way to meet my friend.
To meet your friend?
Yes.
Since-- OK, so he puts a mic--
I'm sorry-- I'm so blown away
that I'm actually sitting next
to you.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
This is honestly--
honestly, I'm absolutely
overwhelmed with all of this.
Well, because you're,
all of a sudden, are--
Thank you so much for having me.
Oh-- thank you for being here.
I'm just saying-- thank you.
Thank you for being here.
I mean, this is so cool.
I love stories like this.
I mean, that you're just
stopped by a guy that's saying,
finish the lyric--
you knew the song well-- the
video has gone everywhere.
Here's what's happened-- 60
million people have viewed
your video--
because of your video,
the song "Shal--"
60?
60 million.
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
Because of your video, the song
"Shallow" re-entered the top 40
on iTunes.
You've gone from 4,000
to 400,000 followers
on Instagram-- and one
of them is Ariana Grande.
I followed her back.
[APPLAUSE]
Yeah, good.
You should.
One of my friends told me this--
I followed her back.
OK.
So obviously, you're a singer--
you're a full time singer.
Yeah, that's right.
And you were doing, like,
weddings and stuff like that?
Yes, yeah, I do weddings.
I do pubs.
I do bars-- restaurants.
How long have been doing this?
15 years.
15 years?
Yes, yeah.
OK.
So your dad gave
you some advice.
What was that?
Yeah, my dad's always said to
me, just wherever you are--
just always-- just sing wherever
you are-- never, ever give up--
just do not.
He's right-- he's right, yeah.
Yeah.
So you sang wherever you were.
So he puts it-- and the guy--
your name is Kevin, right?
Kevin-- Kevin--Kevin.
Yeah, Kevin, yeah.
OK.
So you do this--
this is your thing-- you go
up to people and ask them
to finish the lyric and--
I do a lot of different
style of content,
but this one's
just been released.
And I was in London for about
two weeks approaching so many
different random people.
And then I come
across Charlotte,
and she just blew me away.
I think in the video the only
thing I could say was, wow!
[LAUGHTER]
Because I was just in shock.
And she deserves this.
I was come to tears
then-- watching you sing.
Thank you.
You deserve this.
[APPLAUSE]
You sure do.
Thank you so much.
I mean-- I mean,
both of y'all really,
hopefully stay in touch
the rest of your lives.
Oh, 100%.
Oh, 100%.
100%.
100%.
Because you've helped her, and
hopefully you have helped him.
Yeah, definitely.
I just want to give her
a big cuddle-- so, aw.
Right.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
Well-- and you will come down
here and during the break
and give her a cuddle, because--
Thank you.
[LAUGHTER]
So you have a lot
of gigs, and so
what we're going to do for you--
we want to help you--
a year long pass on
the London Tube--
you won't have to
pay ever again.
Thanks!
[LAUGHTER]
So there's that.
[APPLAUSE]
Also--
Thank you very much!
We partner with a company
here called Shutterfly,
and they love to help me give
gifts to people like you.
So they want to give
you 10,000 pounds.
What?
[APPLAUSE]
So.
Are you serious?
Yeah, yeah.
[LAUGHS] Yep.
[APPLAUSE]
Go back across the
pond with that.
Oh, my God.
Hi, I'm Andy.

to subscribe to her channel
so you can see more
awesome videos--

or saying embarrassing things
like ball peen hammer
and also some videos
