One woman is about to give Lady Gaga a run for her money! More than 8 million people have watched a viral video of a woman singing the award-winning song “Shallow” from the 2018 film A Star is Born. Comedian Kevin Freshwater is in the video approaching strangers to sing for a segment called “Finish the Lyrics.” In this case, Freshwater approached this talented woman in a subway station.
He encounters a woman by the name of Charlotte Awbery. When asked to finish the lyrics to “Shallow” after he sang the starting lines, she blew everyone away with her vocals. She didn’t even have to warm up! “I was blown away and lost for words,” Freshwater tells TODAY in an email.
