People are Stunned When This Office Worker Sings Alicia Keys
I was asking people to sing in NYC, and then I met Katie Smith. She is walking home from her job and she notices people singing with me. She stops by to say "I like what you are doing. It's really cool." But then I asked her, "Would you like to be next?" She takes a moment to think about it. But then she says SURE!

Very cool you saw this. Thanks for sharing 👍
Fabulous

Katie's best friend here. Girl, you did that!👏🏽
So you're evan? 🧐🤔
Katie's singing was great but her personality was wonderful. We need more people like Katie in our world. Be blessed
Proud momma here in Cali!! Thank you Reggie for sharing with the world what I’ve always seen and known about my daughter Katie. ❤ watching my girl soar!! Great job, Katie. Love you.
Your daughter is super talented omg. She gave me chills. I hope she gets discovered
Katie is lovely! You did a great job.....
such an amazing voice - please encourage her to keep singing!
Your precious girl isn’t just talented! She is beautiful, and a genuine kind human being! A reflection on you, not doubt! Bless her!
Encourage her to go professional. she can sing believe me take it from a professional musician.
Katie’s spider from the corner of her room here. I’m so glad people finally heard her sing I get to listen to her daily and I have been waiting for the day others see how amazing she is also.
😊
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂🤣😂
If I had that voice, I would never shut up, and I would sing EVERYTHING! Introductions, my dinner order in restaurants, answering the phone, yeah, I'd sing everything!❤
Hahaha. I hear you there. I'd totally be the same. 😂
I know right?! She is so special and lovely. And so are you❤
Oh baby she has practiced this song so many times, she asked about the lyrics but she clearly didn’t need them too much, she even knew every flourish. Put in you 10,000 hours, you’ll be able to.
Love this! ❤
😂 me too
Katie, You've got something very special. The crowd, your spider, your dog, your kindergarden teacher----they all love you!
Katie’s golden retriever here. Katie has always been amazing whether or not it was her great attitude or her amazing voice. She will always be a star and I’m proud to say she is my human mother. ☺️🐶
Hope you get extra kibble for this.
LMAOOO
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 I wept
Good one! 😂
I went to elementary, middle, and high school with Katie. She was always so talented. I am glad she's finally getting the recognition she deserves. Go Katie!!!
Keep encouraging her! We can’t wait to see what she has in store for us!👏👏👏😍😍
Very touching words Fartache
Seeing a lot of comments like this not sure if it’s fake especially with the name.. or just a small world ..
Why didn't she try a singer career earlier?
Office worker the title says . Hello 👋
It's not easy to just randomly go up and sing random songs, with random people, in front of random people, without warming up, just completely on the spot. And she did an amazing job!
...and then she just went back to work like she didn't just throw a musical explosion behind her! Beautiful video, thank you for sharing ❤
Little did she know that lunch break.. over 4 MILLION people would hear her sing :)😊
Katie's youtuber here. I really enjoyed meeting you. Thanks for singing!
Where are all of the producers from all of these shows???? Calling American Idol, The Voice, AGT, X Factor… you need a manager or agent or something! That voice needs to be shared with the world! Thank you for sharing it with us and thank you for choosing her to sing with you! Any competition, you have my vote!
You’re Welcome ! ❤
She is awesome.
They just think because she us white that she cannot sing black music. But it works both ways. We blacks can sing their music too sometimes better than them. Check out the voice Kirk Jay who sung Rascal Flatts songs better than them that is why he did not win because white folks did not liked the fact so they did not vote for him and especially he was on Blake Shelton team. Hello!!! As long as they keep putting white singers over black singers on the voice, they are not ever gonna have someone as successful as Carrie underwood,Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson just to name a few
Get this girl a recording contract!! ❤
The fact that she was hesitant to sing a second song at first and then decided to go ahead and do a second song and let loose and have fun it was amazing to see
That’s a hard song to sing, way to go Katie!! Love when Reggie smiles because he knows he hears talent! Reggie is the best. ❤
This young lady is not just a good singer, she also has an incredible personality too. She’s awesome
Please encourage your daughter to SING! She is amazing.
Don't waste that incredible talent
Yes! 💯 💫
Love her voice😊
Office job? Forget it! You need a stage! Well done both of you!
Yes she does!
Katie had me crying! She’s just naturally talented and beautiful! So sweet to see her family, friends and even teachers showing her love on here!
Girl I can't stop 🥹😆🤦♀️
I always love reggie and his ability to see the best in everyone. He said take your time its just youband me. He is the best of NY. Katie you are an angel. Such s talent both inside and out. Such beauty!
Katie’s arch nemesis here. After all these years… you win! I bow to you. 🙇♀️
American idol 😊
Haha that’s too funny!
😂
this comment killed me lmfao
lmaoooo
In an age where everyone thinks they’re a singer….she’s wonderful. Great pitch, diction, phrasing, attack and control. Top work Katie. you deserve to make a living from this. ❤
I think she could do much more if she pulled back a bit. She’s pushing so much that she starts to sounds tired as the song goes on. I’d hate for her to damage that beautiful voice with her current technique. She’s a natural talent and I hope she never stops singing. 😌
Yeah can’t disagree with that after listening again. 👍🏻
@yunki_ I think she's not formally trained and sings, but not regularly. I bet if she had a voice coach and practiced regularly, she would strengthen her lungs and help her not strain her vocal cords. She is a natural talent and people like her are rare. I'd like to see her pursue a career in music. She's got the chops!
I’m classically trained (though not nearly as naturally talented as this lady) and I agree with this. With some training she’ll be an absolute powerhouse.
In an age where everyone is an armchair vocal expert... she's wonderful but maybe SImon will say I've got shit in my ears ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
She is fantastic! Her singing voice is a gift! She can sing! She is not off key at all and she should be on America's got talent and audition! So so good!❤🙏👏👏
What an incredible, humble, beautiful soul with pipes of an angel
WOW Katie. I’m not sure if she knows how good she really is. I’m a mess. I’m a 68 year old man watching this listening to this wonderful voice with tears streaming down my face. Something about those selections coupled with her voice just touched me deep down. If she sees this posting, thank you Katie for sharing your beautiful self with us.
Hi Mark, thank you for your posting! I'm a 58-year-old woman who had the same reaction with tears streaming down my face because Katie's voice and essence has utterly moved me. Yes, thank you Katie! I loved seeing the expressions of the individuals listening to her sing, for a short time, everyone felt connected. What a gift!
Me too! 66 year-old Scotsman and it had me reaching for the Kleenex.
Thought it was just soft hearted me that became teary with this lady's amazing voice.
Oh my gosh!!! THIS has me in tears!!! Thankyou so much!
Me too, I’m 67 and loved it!
Katie's optometrist here. 😀 I had no idea Katie is such a talent. I am more than relieved she was able to read the lyrics. Can you imagine how awful I'd feel if she had the wrong spectacle prescription, and couldn't read the lyrics? 🤔 I'm British. Katie has a British 'vibe', eg. pointlessly humble, apologises unnecessarily. feels she's in the way .,,. Katie would fit right in, though maybe she's a bit too good for us, and our weather isn't as good as CA, .... Very Best Wishes, Katie. Wonderful performance. ☮ And Reggie, you make the world a measurably better place. ☮+ 💕
Very talented 🎉
Lol. You better not be you'd be breaking HIPPA.
@@oki134 As a doctor, I was thinking the same thing!
This is probably my favorite KZhead comment ever.
American idol 😊
Thank God for cell phones and KZhead. I really enjoyed her singing. And I never would have heard her otherwise. Thank you.
Katie has a super strong voice..kudos to her. What a way to spend your walk home!
A blessing
I'm a total stranger and unknown to Katy but my God she just oozes with talent and personality what a gem.
She can def sing, but her energy just exudes good vibes and upbeat friendly aura. Need more people like that.
You are such an amazing & gifted singer, Katie Smith! May your life be filled with the Joy you have given to others through your music!
Such a beautiful girl, with a beautiful voice. She gave me shivers, and should be a professional singer
If her job down the street isn't singing, she's got the wrong job. She's amazing.
You know someone is a natural talent when they make it sound easy. This lady needs a record deal.
ASAP🙏🥰👍👏
Amazing!!
This young lady is absolutely fabulous with pitch and tone. She corrects everything flawlessly... Loved listening to her and hope to hear from her in the future.🎉❤❤❤
She did a great job so talented. She gave me cold chills through both songs. Now that's what we need in the music world. Thank you for show caseing your talent as well. We need more people like you both in the world.
I went to high school with Katie! She is such an amazing individual and always had a positive attitude. So nice to see her do what she does best! Her voice is still the same after so many years😊
Angie Absolutely! Pleazzzze😀keep encouraging her!!! She’s great! Can’t wait to see what else she has in store for us! We’ll be there!🤩🤩🤩😍🎶She and Reggie need to make a record together, or at the very least at first sing together at a small pub or coffee house,🤩🤩Love Reggie, such a good hearted soul with such talent, healing the world with music. And Katie, keep going, love your music, made us feel all the highs and lows, truly you have it in you!🤩🤩😍
She shouldn’t be working in an office, I hope she chases a career singing..
The funny thing is you're not the only person who's mentioned that they've known her before and that this is who she's ALWAYS been and I think that is just totally amazing and awesome too. 👊😁👍
Did I just listen to the next Eva Cassidy?
Loved Eva Cassidy. Katie gave me goosebumps, she has a real talent and I hope we see more of her in the future. Personality + and down to earth. Go girl, England May be the place to make your dreams come true. 🎉❤
This young woman has me sobbing! When you have stage four cancer, everything is so much more beautiful. I wouldn’t trade this for the world.
I’m sorry you have cancer. Sending you good vibes for your journey through this.
She does have a beautiful voice. Prayers to you🙏🏽
Truth🌺💕🙏🏼
I'm sorry. I hope you are doing well
@@JavierBonillaC Thank you very much. I am actually doing very well. Cancer treatment has come a long way. I like to share my experience so that I can share the context under which I’m expressing something, but I feel bad that people feel bad for me, because even though I’m very sick, I’m in this state where everything that’s beautiful is just so much more beautiful and through the process of the hard work over recovery, what has happened is that as each little strange thing in me heals differently, it’s very clear how much work we really are to take care of if we were taking care of ourselves the right way and everything slows down and I can see how much energy and effort and miracles go into so many things. When I was young and healthy and active and very strong physically, I didn’t stop to see everything around me. I’m very lucky that I can see the love in everything around me and really hope to impart this state to other humans.
Reggie, first, let me thank you for doing what you do. You bring so much joy into people's lives with this platform and we appreciate it. Now, let me say that this young lady (Katie Smith) needs to quit her day job RIGHT NOW and get into her music. She absolutely CRUSHED this Alicia Keys song and I had tears in my eyes watching this magnificent performance. This was absolutely amazing!!! I'm sharing this on my Facebook page.
My God! She sings it BETTER than the original singer!!!!! I got chills!!!! And on a side note, her 'best friend' better marry this girl!! 😂😂
I just love the fact that a stranger can make all those people watching and listening smile when she sings
We are ALL strangers to the world, so why SHOULD one of us NOT be able to make other strangers listen?
When you can stop complete strangers all on their way somewhere….you’ve got something very special. Beautiful singing.❤🎉
So true. Especially in NYC!
@@rayrobinson1718 An especially jaded lot!! You've got that right!!
Katie you are the diamond! Thank you both❤️💜
Damn!!! Chills down my back! God bless her, welcome to NYC. Can you imagine being discovered in the streets of NYC who would have thought.
This guy is SO talented. Not only does he know gazillions of songs, but his interpersonal skills bring out the best in his performers. All the best, sir, thank you for what you do. And yes, Katie's voice is astounding. What a lovely young lady.
True that! Reggie's great interpersonal skills and musical skills to boot make it clear to me where my share of the talent pool went! Reggie got it all! But Katie managed to keep her share.
Except "turn around" -bonnie Tyler 😂
Yes he has a great, great personality!
Yeah he's awesome too 🎸🎸🎸🎸
So true!
She could sing like that WITHOUT WARMING UP!
She’s very talented and beautiful voice! Hope fully someone in the music industry pics her up! Good luck Katie! 😘
Katie is beautiful and talented! I enjoyed listening to her. 😊
This girl is not in the place she needs to be. My gosh, I had true goosebumps. What a talent from God!! She deserves to be making records.
She's definitely in the place she needs to be! She said she's been singing her whole life, she's happy with her job, her new home, and even has amazing plans for the future! This woman is genuinely happy, and she deserves it ❤
And not to mention she was just in Cali, now NY! Next, UK. 3 staples for stars.
Or on Broadway!
Katie’s long lost brother from Minnesota here. So glad you showcased her talent in this video! Thanks for sharing her taken.
I knew id find you
That’s so sweet ❤️
Sooo awesome
Katie’s voice is phenomenal no way she has a desk job should totally do music full time seems like such a nice person best wishes on her journey 💕
Can we take a moment to appreciate how awesome this man plays that guitar?? As a guitar player....I love how quickly you can re- adjust to people singing and make aure when they are out of time, you play in time with them. Im from Philly, but of I ever pop back up there, I play guitar also and I cant sing but we should jammmm
Katie’s middle school teacher here. She was always sweet and ambitious. Not surprised she is doing so well now. What a genuine talent. ❤
Imagine how proud her parents would be to see your comment! I salute you.
The Mayor should bestow some honor on Reggie for being an ambassador of NY and doing and awesome job of bringing smiles to thousands of people all over the world 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 LOVE YOU Reggie 💜🙏🏾
Ya, that is a good idea .
I agree, Reggie is an ICON.😊
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES WHAT YOU SAID
For Real...He could use a win right now😂
@@M3GANdoll 🤣🤣🤣
Katie sounds fantastic
She has such a beautiful aura beaming around her. Her voice is Angelic. She nailed it 🥰🥰
The humility, sweetness, humor, and extraordinary singing from this young woman is amazing! Bless you Katie & Reggie!
She kept me listening the entire performance, & I usually have the attention span of a 2 year old. She's very good, in my view.
You made her shine. She rocked! It aint easy to sing in public, and on the street, no rehearsal, the wind, the cold, the time pressure. She killed it!
wow what a voice this young lady has , such emotion loved every second why isn’t she auditioning on the TV ?? we need to hear MORE!
Her running after the paper was it for me 🥇❤
Katie's Nigerian bestie here. Katie is such a darling and she sings soo good☺️☺️☺️
How far! How you dey? hehe
You need to get her signed up for the various music competition shows.
@@adeyesufu7142 I'm all good😅
@@donnas5019 😅of course... We're on that. 🇳🇬
U have a beautiful voice and your sweetness just makes you have the whole package ty for the song 🎵 congrats.
Reggie is so good at talking to people and making them feel heard. Really loved all the questions he asked , just a beautiful positive interaction.
Yes he is a delight.
Loved his back up vocals as well
❤❤❤❤❤❤ wow kathie
The worker from the mail room where Katie works at here... I'm so glad everyone can finally hear Katies amazing voice! 🥲
Beautiful voice! She needs to go on The Voice or Americas got Talent!
She’s better than a lot of performers I’ve seen. You go girl, you need to be famous.
I saw actual Alicia Keys live and it was awful. Just replace her with this woman haha
What the hell is she doing in an office?? She needs to be on the world stage!!❤❤🎉🎉
What happens in the office ... lands in a song ...
I had the same thought. Get out of that office.
She is so close to an amazing music school and people who will push her up. Get searching Katie. Amazing.
To
She’s being realistic and because you know looks sell not saying she doesn’t looks good and we all know she can sang but she wouldn’t make it far because how this music business is setup
Hopefully, Katie will get a recording contract for this outstanding singing video!
I think these days, new artists put their own music out on social media, KZhead.
She should record. Fantastic voice. She knows how to sing!
Dang! She rolls up, no warmup, and slays it! Get that girl on The Voice!
Her first notes immediately gave me goose bumps. I would pay to see her sing for an evening.
Same!
What an awesome voice!
Ditto
me too
Time to move to Arizona and sing cowboy songs in Tombstone!
She makes me feel better to listen to her
I love how she sang it her way and not tried to imitate Alicia Keys. She did AMAZING!!
Singing like this in the wind and chill with no enhancements except a microphone. Absolute talent here and a great personality too. Thanks for asking her to sing and both for sharing your gifts.
She needs to enter online competitions, The big ones.
Absolutely great usage of your platform...inspiring others to share their hidden undiscovered talent...keep the joy coming!! You're a great guitar player thank you for sharing your gift.
It’s incredible how much talent surround us everyday from seemingly ordinary people. Katie is amazing and Reggie is wonderful. I truly enjoyed watching this performance. Thank you both and all people who have the courage to just belt out a tone in public.
Yes exactly..
great!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the most coolest chill get back in touch with our country and family I've seen in years 😀😀
Kate you were fantastic I truly believe you could the next Adell❤💛💚live your dream. Upwards and onwards.
Katie is captivating. Seems so based and relatable, yet she is so clearly extraordinary. You could see how drawn in the people watching were. From the beautiful dimples to the fun outfit to the perfect selection of song to the amazing singing... she is the whole package.
❤
Exactly! Definitely the TTP {the total package}
Katie is the real deal ! Great pipes and a true heart. Wonderful stuff.
Yes everyone share this she needs a record deal!! This needs to go viral!
Anyone else sense chemistry between these two? They're both such lovely, kind people! It'd be wonderful if they got together. ❤❤
Katie is amazing! Keep singing Katie. You have a beautiful voice and great talent. ❤
A voice like that needs to be out in the world, not hidden away in an office!!
I hope this girl knows how amazing her singing is! She is absolutely delightful as a person and I LOVED her singing. Reggie's harmonizing sent the first song soaring.
U did that girl!! Next American Idol 🎉
Beautiful voice. Very natural God given
Reggie, you and Katie created magic on the street that day. If I'd be walking on the street at the time, I would have been stopped in my tracks. You're both musically gifted and your warm personalities make your guitar and voice shine.
Reggie so talented also , they would be a great team 'x
Yes, their personalities couldn't be more genuinely kind and cheerful.
Her energy is great and her voice is incredible. Reggie, your voice really complimented hers! Thank you for doing this. Shows us you never know how talented any person next to you on the street could be!
I sure couldn't agree with you more, or have said it better than you did.
Amen to that ! I really enjoyed their voices and vibe ❤.
yeah she sang amazing, random on the street. Imagine if shes inside, warmed up and prepared! Reggie also gets props for the singing and that sick slide on the guitar in hello. That was fire
SHE NEEDS TO BE ON AGTALENT BRAH DAMN
@@thedutchest 100% ❤🎉👍💥
She not only has a great voice and great personality, she's also so pretty!
This guy is getting no credit for setting this up. He is a great player and awesome to set this up! Thank you my friend!
Actually, he gets all of the credit for setting up. Without Reggie, there are no artists being shared on this venue. He is an amazing human being.
She got SOUL!!!! Powerful voice!!!!
She is very impressive. It says a lot about Reggie’s talent that he can play and harmonize so well with her too. Especially when he has no idea what she’s about to do when he starts the song.
So talented, just love Reggie!!!😍😍
No kidding! Just like they had sung it a million times before!! Perfect harmony skills!!
You guys played so well together. Katie is honestly the best guest you have had sing with you Reggie! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and opening yourself up to the world!
Greetings from Las Vegas. That was simply awesome!! Lifted me, caused me to tear up...very uplifting!! Talent right there! Thank you, Katie and Reggie.
She’s in the wrong business. Beautiful voice!
Pude emotion in her singing. Stunning
Katie is as beautiful as is her voice. What a personality. I hope you get discovered and go places. Wherever you touch down I hope you continue to leave a ray of your sunshine.
Her personality is enchanting. Her singing is phenomenal. Thank you for singing for us.
When two strangers meet by chance and sing this well together it is amazing. Both of these young folks are very talented I wish them good fortune.
I think they found their singing partner!
They are both so good and they both brought us joy!
I got chills watching her! Amazing!
Katie has such a beautiful, friendly, sweet personality, and oh boy can she sing. Her best friend Evan is a very lucky guy. I think she even surprised Reggie. I love them both ❤❤❤
She was PHENOMENAL!!! I LOVED her singing and her attitude!!!!
