Man caught on camera casually singing the greatest U2 karaoke ever has become a viral sensation

Karaoke can be exhilarating, horrifying, awkward, hilarious—but it’s rarely nonchalant. That might be part of the reason one man went viral for a suave rendition of U2’s soaring anthem "With or Without You." It’s hard to belt one of rock’s most passionate songs while reclining in a booth, but somehow that just makes the whole thing even coolerl. The clip shows Lugi, the singer of California duo Pengwich, singing the first verse, often closing his eyes as he channels his inner Bono. At first, the room is charged with the buzz of people talking. But it’s amazing to watch everyone suddenly realize, "Whoa, this dude is really good" and start paying attention. By the end of the video, as Lugi ascends into a sweet falsetto and belts with full-force vibrato, the entire mood has shifted. See on Instagram "How does one maintain this level of cool in karaoke?"People also responded to the performance online, with Instagram users marveling at the unique delivery. An account called FacesofRock1 shared the video, and the comments flooded in. Here are some of the best: "Even better than the real thing, excuse the pun""He’s the main character in his own David Lynch movie.""u2 is amazing and this guy nailed it. Sitting down. In the corner.
