These days, it seems like talent is being discovered all the time on social media, YouTube and TV shows like “America’s Got Talent.” However, despite the vast number of seemingly-Average Joes and Janes coming out of the woodworks, there are still thousands more that remain undiscovered. Unfortunately, it’s extremely difficult to get discovered in the entertainment industry, and even when someone does have the talent, they either don’t have the stage presence, or they just don’t make their debut at the right time. We’re not sure what the story is behind Kaci Clay, but we can certainly vouch for the fact that she has stage presence, and that whether she is discovered next week or in the next decade, she will always be a hit.
At just 14-years-old, one of Kaci’s family members set up a hidden camera in her family kitchen in the hopes of catching her singing, and boy, they were not disappointed. One night while cooking dinner, Kaci decided to entertain herself with some tunes. However, instead of putting on the radio and rocking out to country (as I do), or instead of doing a corny rendition of “Push It” (as my husband does whenever he seasons whatever is cooking), the then-teen busts into “Dreamgirls,” “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.” And it is stunningly beautiful and powerful.
Using a spice bottle as her mic, Kaci powers through her solo as if no one is watching–which, to her, no one is watching. She is free, smiling and moving about the kitchen, prepping her food and hitting every note absolutely perfectly. Her solo is made all the more powerful because she is completely in her element, singing unabashedly.
People who have watched the video are commenting things like, “She is AMAZING SHE SHOULD BE ON THE X FACTOR!” and “I could watch this 1,000,000 times!”
However, despite the overwhelmingly positive response, her video has only received 420,000 views. Now, it should be our job to spread the word and to make Kaci a household name. If you are as impressed with her singing as we are, share this video with your friends, families and any producers you know. Kaci’s voice deserves to be heard!
Side Note: apparently Kaci did know she was being watched. One of the comments was from a friend: “Obviously she knew we were watching, we were still bringing in grocery, she heard us come in and could hear us laughing. What she didn’t know is that we started recording. Thanks to everyone who gave her kudos for her voice!”
Please SHARE this with your friends and family.
