Alessia Cara talks being Awkward, a Loner, Meeting Drake, her Vices & Sings Live! 

she so pretty lowkey gotta crush on her

only 19 year old girl that looks 19

shes so cute. i like that shes a lil nervous. shes human

An artists like Alessia Cara is sooo damn necessary for this generation.

She is blessed she gets the freedom she gets. Not every artist starts out that way, some are "forced" into an image, a product for the label.

Alessia Cara is one of a few artists who are very original.

Lol omg this girl is something. FINALLY a real person being themselves and not giving a show for the cameras just to look good. I can totally relate to her

Alessia Cara is me at parties. Social anxiety for the win.

I like here, she's like me; "akward, can't dance ..better off alone.." yep all me ^__^

She sings beautifully, is very naturally pretty, chill, funny, AND SHE LIKES ROCKY?! Total package.

She look good asf... She just gained a new follower on ig

I hate how they even made her ashamed for not thinking it was "cool" to have a girl passed out. Like REALLY? Those interviewers were so annoying. Not everyone has to be the same and like to do drugs or drink until they pass out or throw up. Society clearly needs to grow up if they think those things are what it takes to fit in.

i liked the song because it had a deeper meaning

I love how the title is "Alessia Cara talks being Awkward, a Loner..." which is discriminating of Alessia Cara. Just because the radio station doesn't understand Alessia's introversion, doesn't mean they should claim her as "awkward or being a loner". During the interview she blamed herself, and that's when the interviewers should have stopped her and said nothing is wrong with you, it's okay to not like that type of atmosphere, everyone is different. That's the problem here, introverts often haul the blame to themselves, when really, nothing is wrong with them.

the media don't want her because she's being her, tf

You guys are right, she is the girl that you overlook in high school, but ends up being bad asf later on, and her lyrics are real. I'mma check her music out.

Ebro should mention that he was 15 when he got in the music industry way more

She is actually pretty funny. She had me laughing at quite a few parts. "Was she Jamaican?" lol

She is so composed and mature for such a young age being in the spotlight, i like the way she carries herself and hope she dont change

she's super. it's so refreshing to see a young beautiful and talented artist that isn't selling sex. her authenticity innocence and dignity are still in tact. I hope that Hollywood doesn't change that.

Canada is winning all summer. First it starts off with Drake & now her. She's a dope singer live, OMG ! :o

Her fan base is popping real quick. That single she got is good. But I wonder if she has it to where she can make a creative album. Lorde had Royals and came out of nowhere with a banger album.

don't sleep on brampton yo... lol shoutout phone e.g.

I just really hope she don't lose her self in this music industry

these interview questions are so stupid. can't they just see that she's a smart chill girl who doesn't have to do what others do to figure out who she is cuz she knows. writing her own lyrics about a small situation that made her learn something. she's not some party girl pot head so these questions are irrelevant they're just trying to stir up gossip she's only 19 and her song is more real then half the songs coming out now a days.

She's NOT the problem, she's just one of those very rare individuals who actually have common sense. Definitely a fan!

Just be yourself Alessia.. dont change.. you look like a little candle in a very dark place representing the the little hope of this generation. GOD BLESS YOU...!!

This girl is so chill man... Reminds me of myself when I was her age... Only I actually WAS awkward lol. She seems really confident to be honest.

The music industry needs an artist like her. Some one who can be themselves and keep it real! Her song "Here" is so different and a much needed Change to what they play on the radio! That song is my life. Definitely looking forward to her album

I love how she expresses herself, moving her hands and the facial expression, she funny too.

these interviewers just dont understand what kind of person alessia is AHAHAHAHAHAHHA the 'do you smoke marijuana?' AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

she's an introvert like me

swear Laura thinks shes 50 something years old.

Let me say this because I guess some grown adults don't understand this: Doing drugs is NOT cool. Getting high is NOT cool. It is dangerous, especially for women. It is not "dope" it is not a "great" party, it is a group of people who get together and don't know how to enjoy themselves in a safe way. Rant over.

"There was a girl passed out on a floor" "LIT"

we went to the same highschool, very amazing and kind girl , everyone loved het

I been waiting on teen singer loner

she's cute af, gotta check out her music

My jaw dropped the moment she started talking. She's literally the female version of myself. Not to mention she's absolutely beautiful.

A beautiful( inside and out )young Southern Italian woman. I'm glad there's women like her to represent Italians after half of America thinks all Italians are like Jersey Sore or Mob Wife's. And Ariana Grande doesn't send the best message to little girls that look up to her. You're amazing Alessia! Keep doing your thing!

she's just look like her Demi Lovato! anyone agree ?

Y'all not gonna talk about her she killed it live tho? Talented young lady

She looks half black but is Italian.... That's crazy

How cute is she?! With such a great personality AND talent?? & it doesn't seem forced, she seems totally genuine. It's infectious + endearing. I like this girl. Hope she's successful. I know the business will change a person undoubtedly but hopefully she stays the same just wiser!

Best interview ever. I love her personality and I can relate to her. I hope she does well with her career!

I totally related to that song "Here" and I really enjoy "I'm yours" and "seventeen" . I live in Brampton too lool. My cousins friends with her :)

Canada taking over the music game.

she bad lowkey

So real. I admire you. Please stay the same.

ebro's so polite in this one haha

Rare to find someone from my generation who actually writes meaningful lyrics

I finally discovered an artist I can 100% relate to Thank you Alessia ❤😔

How did they manage to misinterpret her song that bad lmaooo

I love her realness and sincerity

I love them weird chicks b.

I was exactly like this at 19. Hell i felt like this throughout HS. Her personality is very relatable, reminds me of me. She's awesome.

She reminds me SO MUCH of my homegirl. Would love to work with her one day for real she has an AMAZING voice.

Drake Bieber The weeknd PND Alessia Cara!!!!

I actually thought she was Hispanic lol

She's such a gem! Truly hope she goes far

I like her voice. Husky, cute/fresh and street at the same time

She is so freaking lovable. Talk about the courage it takes to talk so openly about feeling as she does, as well as to think about it so honestly.

I really thought she was mix with black but she's not wow 😅🤔 tell me anyone you didn't think she had some black in her ?? But she full blooded Italian

can totally relate to her personality he seems like a pretty , calm , chilled , bright girl . i'm an introvert

I don't know why her face/head remind me of nicki minaj... B4 the nose job.... She might need to talk with her folks, i think she got a little black in her... Im talkin more than moor, especially when she go on tour, met drake? She really gon have it in her...well, 1/2 at least.. 2 far...? She adorable though...

"I don't need a boyfriend" Damn it

She's so naturally beautiful my god

She has the Demi's smile

I went to a party like that lol and it was low key poppin at the begining but towards the end i was like "okay.. nah"

Lmao.. So weird seeing her in the game cus I can relate to her in so many ways as an awkward teenager

she reminds me of Kehlani!! they should do a collab

Caracciolo is not that hard to spell and say but I guess it's more for Americans or non Italian persons.

Am I the only noticing she low key working with something under that rocky tee shirt lol

She's so right about the rocky thing. We lowkey hate seeing ppl pose with the statue and running up those steps

I love my hometown Brampton. Happy to see someone up and coming from there.

She reminds me so much of myself, and also my family is italian so... I like her

She's so cute and talented

I'm 18 years and I feel exactly the sale way, feel you Alessia 🙌🏾😭

She's so cool and down to earth!!!

I love how chill and well mannered she is.

Jesus Christ I relate so much to her! I went to a party first and last and I hated it so much!! I was so uncomfortable and out of my comfort zone. Also this year I had nothing going on with life other than staying in my room looking at the walls and aspiring to make music (still am) I want to be her best friend.

I love that Alessia has that creative freedom to make songs and wear whatever she wants. She's so down to earth and true to herself. I really hope that she stays true to herself and continues to make songs that cover issues like body image, peer pressure and being yourself. I really like her song 'Here' because it resonated with me a lot.

She's bae af

Alessia and I are both from Brampton, and our parents are from the same town in Italy, and are the same age! We went to high school in the same school board, so weird lol.

She is the coolest person ever. She seems so humble

I really loved this interview! Love her unique voice. It was authentic and great to see a young girl just being herself not having to dress all sexy for more attention. I'm 18 so I know this EP and upcoming album is going to speak to me. Definitely going to support her career!!!!

man she would be a keeper hands down

Man I discovered her at the perfect time. We're the same age (similar birthdays even) and I can definitely relate to her music and her message at this time. I'm literally going to grow up with her. I'm really looking forward to the album

5:43 "Do you smoke marimuana" lol

I love her!!!I love her style,she's my inspiration.Her songs are great

The interviewers here seem pretty just annoying ... like "he broke your heart" "...no.. just" "You broke his heart!" "Um noo its more it just didnt work out" "you're over him" "... Iguess yeah" and theyassume so much " pressured to go to parties" "..no i just went with my friends.." "pressured to dressup" "..noo" Like do they even listen or understand what she is reallysaying? -.-

lowkey crushing on this chick. she doesn't seem awkward at all, she's confident and seems intelligent

I didn't like the interviews. The guy seems like someone who would enjoy the party Cara was talking about in the song and the lady is just acting like his sidekick

This seemed like such a chilled, laid back interview :)

I'm actually in love. Like actually

Alessia is so down to earth. Positive message...great roll model to kids. Love her

She is amazing, so glad so proud to be a fan.

Two years later, I saw her live. SO glad I got the whole thing on video

She's a dope singer , she could write songs ,, her lyrics are dope and she's really pretty

she sounds soo great live ! Wow
