"It's why the "hidden talent" trend is the perfect mix of funny and relatable. All the busy, tired, 9-to-5 workers of the world are taking to the app to record themselves singing their own rendition of "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith. The goal? To see if they have a hidden singing talent that would allow them to quit their job and live a life of luxury."
"While a few people have stayed in tune and successfully belted out the high notes, most have failed miserably in the funniest way - and that's precisely what the trend is all about. The setup of these videos often shows someone recording themselves in a mirror or next to coworkers at the office. As the song kicks in, they grab something that looks like a microphone, attempt to sing, and almost immediately realize they'll need to clock back into work tomorrow."
TikTok users post 'hidden talent' videos attempting Sam Smith's "Stay With Me" to test whether they could leave their jobs for singing careers. Many videos feature everyday workers recording in mirrors, cars, with friends, or at their workplaces, often using improvised 'microphones.' A few performers hit notes successfully, but most fail humorously with cracked voices and rhythm mistakes. Viral clips have drawn large engagement, such as @doshh25's video with over 750,000 likes and teasing comments urging extra work shifts. Clips filmed during work breaks, like @valpalmorgan's, highlight the comedic contrast between job duties and sudden pop-star aspirations.
