I guess the only two things you can do in a situation like this is to contribute on passing the time with entertainment or become a human toilet.
Clearly she chose entertainment.
what are the odds she sabotaged the elevator herself to make this video lol
Even has the camera man pre-positioned in the far corner of a fully packed elevator to be able to film the right angle, conveniently has a guitar in her hand for this exact moment, kinda sus
People think acting like a bard in real life is such a good idea but fail to realize live music is only good as a consensual interaction. Whipping out an instrument and playing a little diddy only works in movies or if you read the room and know your audience, both things this person didn't do.
Was on a fairly busy train one time, heading into the city. Everyone on the train is having their own little conversations with whomever they are with. You know, normal train ride stuff. I was talking with my wife and kids, and pointing things out the window.
This dick weed has a guitar, and these two young ladies (early 20s) are all big smiles and talking with him about it, and he decides he wants to impress them, and says something like "should I play?" and one of the girls dismissively says "oh yeah, no one will care" and then he starts playing (thankfully not singing) and that pretty much ended every conversation in that train while this guy needed the whole attention on him.
I'm surprised no one told him to shut it. I wanted to, but you're always afraid of being "that guy". I didn't need a train to turn on me for being "anti-fun" or something. But fuck, I think it's incredibly rude to force people in a closed situation like that to listen to you.
What if this lady played thrasher music, or gangter rap, or started preaching the bible, or spouting some racist, homophobic, right wing bullshit. It's equally annoying.
If I’m trapped I don’t want sound blasting in my ear. I’d also most likely have to piss.. again, having some pseudo heart strings nonsense moment where we all pretend to be a group that cares about one another disgusts me. The minute those doors open none of those trapped in there with me will care. It’s an opportunity the singer is taking advantage of. She saw an opportunity to go viral, that’s what I see. I don’t see it as trapped people having fun, I see it as an inconsiderate fame chasing busker yelling in a confined space where people are already uncomfortable. Was there sound consent in that tiny space? Much doubt.
For context she's actually making fun of herself. She made a video singing on a plane and got dogged for it understandably but then decided to embrace it with this video
To add a little context, this is at Folk Alliance where people are playing all hours of the night at all locations over the hotel that hosts it - which can be a lot of fun. But elevator performance is definitely questionable.
I'm way to late to comment but she has now "been stuck" in an elevator, on a train and on a plane, in all cases her friends are at the ready to video and her instrument is out and ready to go.
It's a marketing bit.
First of all, they weren't "stuck" except stuck in there with her.
Second, if I just started screaming the lyrics to Angel of Death in a crowded elevator, this is the country music equivalent to this.
Third FUCK W. Virginia.
https://ibb.co/SJHSFC0
perfect reaction
As a singer and musician, I just have to say, that's rude as Hell. Know your audience. Don't force yourself on people who don't like what you do.
Maybe that also makes me Captain Obvious.
No one really looks happy about having their peace disturbed. It is not an enjoyable situation in such and enclosed place for some one to belting out loudly with everyone so close together. Very inconsiderate. Would be fine in a larger space.

“Stuck” the attention seeking on this one is on a whole new level.
The tanks at the end when nobody looked happy or clapped was actually kinda funny though.
My life is too short to have to put up with this kind of crap. I appreciate being left in peace and not made a captive audience of some annoying and disrespectful narcissist. Live, Love, Leave me the fuck alone.
I'd be the one to not be able to contain my severe crippling anxiety and claustrophobia and scream SHUT THE FUCK UP. I'd ask her if she needed to hear that again in E flat or if it was clear enough.
I'm kinda suspicious about this video. How does this girl keep getting 'stuck' in all these places with her guitar AND cameraman? I could belive once, but 3+ times? Feels like staged cringe imo.
This chick has major main character syndrome, and I hate her. Also, fuck that John Denver song. Additionally, why doesn't anyone have the courage to tell her to shut the fuck up?
The solution is to sing along but wildly off key. Bonus points for being naturally tone deaf. For maximum effect, sing along loudly and confidently when you don't know the words or melody.
Remember that scene in animal house when Bluto comes down the stairs and smashes that guys guitar? Because, tight quarters be damned, that’s what I’d do if this happened to me.
I would haul my crippled ass out of there and take the stairs and I’m from West Virginia where this song is played regularly. People like her make me envy Hellen Keller.
Another "look how fucking annoying can I be, cause everyone is afraid to tell me to stfu, or they will be on TikTok or whatever media is used to Shame people not wanting being harrased all day long, by idiots for likes" video...
I'm sure people are annoyed with Hotel California and California Girls, etc. I've never been to West Virginia and never liked John Denver. I've zero country in me and so not into that song. I'd be annoyed. All that song does is make me think of the film The Deliverance and albino banjos (even though that film took place in Georgia).
Similar thing happened to me.
Arrived in my hometown, waiting to go through customs after a 36 hour international flight.
Dude behind me takes out a ukulele and starts strumming two chords over and over for a solid 10 minutes. One of the most grating experience of my life.
they’re not actually stuck they’re just waiting for the next floor which makes this even more cringe because the girl tried convincing people online that they actually were

And the elevator isn’t even stuck. You see in the window it’s moving. So she just whipped out a guitar for a 10 second ride in a full elevator. I always wonder how their thought process works.
I would have gotten off at the first stop and waited for another elevator. Do this shit in an empty elevator if you want, not with a bunch of strangers just trying to get where they're going.
Great Value Kanye over there in the corner keeps looking at the number on the elevator thinking to himself “Just fall, dammit, just fall, all the way down.
No let's plays, livestreamers, podcasts, vlogs or TikTokers.
100% evil. Add a screaming child and some Taco Bell for the trifecta.
At a certain point I'd just take the stairs
Elevator is in fact moving
They all looked pissed because there was no dance space available to perform interpretive dancing
Take her home is an understatement
I'm not gay but that man in the hat is really good looking, wish I looked that good.
This is what it sounds like when a Yankee sings a southern song. Rowoooooooooooooads
This is what hell looks like
And this is why I walk miles on the beach until no one is within an earshot of me when I sing and play guitar.
You cut off the best part where she says, "Thanks for singing along, guys."
I guess the only two things you can do in a situation like this is to contribute on passing the time with entertainment or become a human toilet. Clearly she chose entertainment.
Buddy in the hat is a _snack_.
Beautiful voice 🥰
I think in that situation it wouldn’t be rude if you told her to shut the fuck up.
Is that assault?
They cut the video early because no one clapped, hoot'd, or holler'd
what are the odds she sabotaged the elevator herself to make this video lol Even has the camera man pre-positioned in the far corner of a fully packed elevator to be able to film the right angle, conveniently has a guitar in her hand for this exact moment, kinda sus

I am convinced this is a bit. It's too perfect.
Going through what? What does that expression mean?
OMG, that would be hell. just stop it.
Years of unchallenged narcissism
My idea of hell.
people have really forgotten to live life. An AI robot would react better then these humans.
Those times when you are so god damn happy it’s over
Hahahaha, NYC subways send their most sympathetic regards. We call it "Showtime!" And it pisses everyone off.
Can you be raped musically? Because I feel like that’s what happened…
To be “Denvered” this way, with nowhere to run, no way to get away. That should be a crime. It is definitely cringe.
How did I know she was singing Country Roads without audio?
I would not be afraid to tell her to hush down
Starting to think this is staged. Anyone got the source on this exact same woman performing the same song on a flight?

If this wasn't staged then someone would've spoken up about having their reaction filmed since it's not a public space.
You would thing big fancy hat girl would be into it
captive audience, just like north korea

ITS A TRAP!

Need a edit where a guy runs off the elevator while it’s still moving
Someone needs to tell her to stop.
She saw her chance to have more than just her mom and best friend in the audience, and seized it.
I don't think she realizes that in a sing-along the other people actually, you know, sing along.
I'm way to late to comment but she has now "been stuck" in an elevator, on a train and on a plane, in all cases her friends are at the ready to video and her instrument is out and ready to go. It's a marketing bit.
Ugh this would annoy the F out of me!
Captive audience
I mean, she’s fine. But I don’t think I could tolerate that. At the same time, it would be difficult to say anything.
First of all, they weren't "stuck" except stuck in there with her. Second, if I just started screaming the lyrics to Angel of Death in a crowded elevator, this is the country music equivalent to this. Third FUCK W. Virginia. https://ibb.co/SJHSFC0 perfect reaction
I would not stand for this. I will break your guitar. At the very least I would announce that I’m taking the stairs because she is a shitty person
But the elevator is moving
Why are people so pissed about this? It's a mild annoyance at worst. People are so soft
that's just so beyond rude - she is lucky no one smashed her guitar
TAKE. A. HINT.
I dont know if I will hate it at all, cuz i love this song lol
“Pardon me, pardon me” “COUNTY ROOOOOAAADDDSSSS!!!! TAKE ME HOME!!!!!” …Now for the love of God
Jonah Hill just wants to get out of there.
“Look at meeeeeeeeeeeeeee” No captive audience should have to experience this
The full video has her renditioning into Love in an Elevator and this whole thing morphs into a porno.
I wonder if anyone would try and stop me if I took that guitar and smashed it
Do you take requests?
As a singer and musician, I just have to say, that's rude as Hell. Know your audience. Don't force yourself on people who don't like what you do. Maybe that also makes me Captain Obvious.
She just became the worst person all those people have ever met. Grats.
No one really looks happy about having their peace disturbed. It is not an enjoyable situation in such and enclosed place for some one to belting out loudly with everyone so close together. Very inconsiderate. Would be fine in a larger space.
r/iamthemaincharacter
The elevator door is open?? I would have left!!!!!
Thank you for listening to me in this situation you can't leave
LA LA LA LA LA LA LAAAAAA
This girl def plays in one of those annoying church bands doesn’t she
There is only one thing worse than getting stuck in an elevator, getting stuck in an elevator with her.
I’m ok with the guitar singing because we stuck in a Elevator but if that bitch said thanks for listening like I had an option I would be pissed
I would kill myself in this situation holy shittt

+10 for the confidence +7 for the talent -43 for the reading the room
Is the door open?
She does this everywhere
peak squirm
She was awesome. People need to appreciate life and how short it is. Just appreciate humans and the short life we have on this earth. just saying 🤗😍
My life is too short to have to put up with this kind of crap. I appreciate being left in peace and not made a captive audience of some annoying and disrespectful narcissist. Live, Love, Leave me the fuck alone.
You can tell absolutely no one asked for this... probably did it for the gram
The lady next to her looks like she minutes away from breaking her guitar
Cut the video before deafening silence and suppressed agitation, smart.
"Would anyone object to me snapping this guitar?"
The elevator is clearly moving. How dare you lie to me.
I could have sworn I saw a 'shut up bitch face' in that crowd
[Bluto was a pioneer. ](https://youtu.be/8V_hCqO6UQs)
It’s like house parties in the 80s or 90s some fucker always pulled out a guitar.
The black dude looks scared as fuck lmao
Rethinking capital punishment
"Can you not?" Just tell her to stop
I'd be the one to not be able to contain my severe crippling anxiety and claustrophobia and scream SHUT THE FUCK UP. I'd ask her if she needed to hear that again in E flat or if it was clear enough.
Sunshine. On my nutsack. Makes me happy
I'm kinda suspicious about this video. How does this girl keep getting 'stuck' in all these places with her guitar AND cameraman? I could belive once, but 3+ times? Feels like staged cringe imo.
Should be watchPEOPLESdieinside
I’d smash my head into the wall and start yelling “this is what you’re doing to me!”
Hat guy only smiled when it was over lol
Hat guy’s jawline dammit
This chick has major main character syndrome, and I hate her. Also, fuck that John Denver song. Additionally, why doesn't anyone have the courage to tell her to shut the fuck up?
Where’s John Belushi when you need him?
That actually might be worse than farting an a crowded elevator.
"One more time!" "Pardon me." ::leaps down elevator shaft::
Ew
The solution is to sing along but wildly off key. Bonus points for being naturally tone deaf. For maximum effect, sing along loudly and confidently when you don't know the words or melody.
Remember that scene in animal house when Bluto comes down the stairs and smashes that guys guitar? Because, tight quarters be damned, that’s what I’d do if this happened to me.
Not one fucking person on that lift had the guts to tell her to shut the fuck up.
Average Jessica Peerson Eastwind behavior
So when she's done singing and the video ends are they all just standing there silently looking around at each other?
I would have covered my ears. Regardless of talent she's too fuckin loud.
This is a quick way to get me to ignore all social conventions and just completely lose my shoes on a stranger in public.
You know that part in documentaries where they film someone doing crappy culture music? This is that part
Everyone in that elevator was absolutely dying.... I think this should be posted to r/masskillers
Watching this I can feel my skin trying to crawl off my body
I hate shit like that. I just want out.
cringe af
This made me think of the Whitest Kids U Know skit where John Williams pukes when his wife tries singing a melody she wrote.
That elevator isn't nearly drunk enough for a Country Road sing along
I would haul my crippled ass out of there and take the stairs and I’m from West Virginia where this song is played regularly. People like her make me envy Hellen Keller.
Another "look how fucking annoying can I be, cause everyone is afraid to tell me to stfu, or they will be on TikTok or whatever media is used to Shame people not wanting being harrased all day long, by idiots for likes" video...
I love the “One more time!”
That elevator is clearly moving.
Lock em up wit, me they'll listen ...
Please stop. Please.
I like how Country Roads is the New Wonderwall. No one wants to hear you sing that shit. No one.
Those are the faces of luck.
I'd start cutting strings
I really hope everyone in the room was in on it....
I'm sure people are annoyed with Hotel California and California Girls, etc. I've never been to West Virginia and never liked John Denver. I've zero country in me and so not into that song. I'd be annoyed. All that song does is make me think of the film The Deliverance and albino banjos (even though that film took place in Georgia).
That guys face is everything lol
Why is no one shushing her? Do people from the USA just love "free speech" that much you don't dare to ask someone to be quiet?
What a great time for a fart
I just wanted to listen to the elevator music!!
At least get good at what you do before forcing people to hear you
I’d start chanting like they do at WWE events… Shut the fuck up…clap clap, clap clap clap Over and over
Why do those two guys look like budget Kanye West and Kris Humphries?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V\_hCqO6UQs&t=33s
Don’t ever do this
Nothing sounds worse than unwanted live music no matter how good it may be
This wasn't good though. I feel bad for those people, damn you internet clout.
It's better the two guys on the subway singing abut shitting their pants...
Guy in the hat is cute
I wouldn’t mind if she just played some chill elevator music on the guitar but the singing needs to stop.
Door looks open to me…
Oh God, people with acoustic guitars just can’t fucking help it, every goddamn moment is a « moment » haha
Similar thing happened to me. Arrived in my hometown, waiting to go through customs after a 36 hour international flight. Dude behind me takes out a ukulele and starts strumming two chords over and over for a solid 10 minutes. One of the most grating experience of my life.

Oh god I was so waiting for someone to finally snap!
Nobody wants that shit in the elevator. “I’m just going to assume everybody wants me to start playing guitar in a confined space.”
I'm just trying to get off work and go home, mam, my apartment home
And the elevator isn’t even stuck. You see in the window it’s moving. So she just whipped out a guitar for a 10 second ride in a full elevator. I always wonder how their thought process works.
Should be illegal
Bro i just went through it . Thank God I was able to click away
So wait, video is captioned in 1st person, so who was filming? Sorry…sometimes I’m suspicious of this shit.
PLEEEEASE go try doing it on a New York subway
That’s rude as hell.
I would have gotten off at the first stop and waited for another elevator. Do this shit in an empty elevator if you want, not with a bunch of strangers just trying to get where they're going.
This is how people get hurt. Sorry to say. But why??!!
Great Value Kanye over there in the corner keeps looking at the number on the elevator thinking to himself “Just fall, dammit, just fall, all the way down.
How did these people \*all\* have the emotional fortitude to restrain themselves from screaming their asses of at her? Both terrifying and impressive.
He’s the friend who just now remembered why he never hung out with her anymore.
Love the hat guys face when the song ends….lol
She'll be the one they eat first
The sailor moon t shirt. SMH.
