That was cool - it looks like they fooled that one lady.

Damn, that was awesome. I know people on Reddit like to shit on Jimmy Fallon but I love watching his anything with him where he plays music. He is super talented.

man her voice is insane

[u/ReallyLikesYourLego]

Do people really crowd around buskers that? The big crowd made it seem like it was either staged or people knew something was up.

I'm genuinely asking and not trying to be a cynical fella.

I think it was cool how people still gravitated to her voice, even when they didn't initially know who it was. :)
