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!

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!

where they can't hurt us--
we're far the shallow now.

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!

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!
[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.
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%.
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.
