By now, people know about the breakout viral star of April 2018, Mason Ramsey a.k.a. “yodel boy.”
If you don’t, he became internet-famous for yodeling in a Walmart with the utmost cuteness. Then he went pro, landing performance slots at the Grand Ole Opry and Coachella.
But that was April and this is May and it’s a new up-and-coming artist’s turn. Meet Estelle Martin of Buffalo, New York, who danced her heart out in the electronics department to K-Pop megagoup Gfriend’s “Time for the Moon.” In the video she shared Wednesday, she lip syncs. She twirls. She even pantomimes. She hits every move, and it looks like she’s a quick study.
Gfriend – Time for Moon Night (Public Dance Cover) – Gfriend dances in Wal-mart strikes again 😄 I opened everyone’s messages on what song I should do next and almost every one was “GFRIEND TIME FOR MOON NIGHT” and let me be honest, I haven’t listened to the song until today and I learned the chorus for 30 minutes and kept my motivation up and I’m proud of myself! – So I’ll just let this marinate for a bit, this Song makes me feel so nostalgic as well. Or it has that anime intro or outro mood to it. Idk that’s just me lol – Special thanks to my friend @misskazumiscosplay for recording the 4+ takes of me messing up – #Gfriend #Kpopdance #Dance #Kpop #Kpopdancecover #Publicdancecover

“I haven’t listened to the song until today and I learned the chorus for 30 minutes and kept my motivation up and I’m proud of myself!” she wrote.
Her dancing skills – this may not surprise – have captured hearts across the internet.
Clearly, there’s never been a more important time for Walmart shoppers to pay attention. It is the launching pad for fresh new talent, or as Whethan puts it, the new Soundcloud.
maybe walmart is the new soundcloud

Naturally her newly minted viral status has led to yodel boy comparisons.
