Jessie Reyez - TED Talk on converting losses to wins + STILL C U 

That performance was insane. Heart of gold and very wise beyond your years. Old soul. SO MUCH TALENT. SO SMART.

It’s going to always be her tone for me and the lyrics ❤

She really elevated herself to a whole other level with the live performances of this song. The smooth switch from chest to head voice and back is insane. The lyrics and storytelling are beautiful. But more important Jessie is just a through and through gorgeous and intelligent woman. More talks please!

This song punches me in the heart. That one boy I haven't thought about in my waking hours for years, finds a way to turn up in my dreams.

I love you - the fact that you’re on a Ted talk is just genius❤

I literally sobbed through the whole video. I had never heard the first song before and it just got me. Currently going through a breakup and it’s been so hard. This was beautiful

This made me cryyyy!! I’m sooooo incredibly happy to see how big this woman is now and people finally see what I’ve seen in her since day 1!

Jessie is so amazing i remember finding her back in 2017 when she performed shutter island live and i instantly fell in love with jessie's energy and her vocals and i havent stopped supporting her ever since, she even helped me through a break up with someone who treated me bad. So im very grateful to have dicovered jessie and im so excited what else she has in the future

these are seriously some of your most raw performances, especially figures

Ive never seen Jessie perform this passionately in a long time? Who broke her heart?

This live performance hits different.

How do her live performances sound even better than her produced songs

What a powerful message. She’s on another level in so many ways! 💛💙❤️🇨🇴

Her music truly is magic. You feel everything she feels when writing and performing her songs. She’s so smart and gorgeous and talented.

Dr. Reyez, there's not much distance between your inner self and your art, and you do it so effortlessly. THAT'S why I like you.

I love her song figures and the emotion behind it and now I know why I feel that song so much. Also, She seems like such an amazing human being.

God the way you can showcase your pain with so much beauty speaks so many volumes to me. Your songs have helped me voice feelings in way I can’t. Very very thankful for you❤️

That last song has me realizing how I need to apologize to my ex boyfriend for how my family took advantage of our situation and didn’t comprehend how reckless they were in using him for their needs.

Jessie had been under estimated for Soo long... I'M SO SO HAPPY THAT THE WORLD FINALLY APPRECIATES THIS RAW, BEAUTIFUL TALENTED WOMAN!! Jessie, I can't even put in words what you do when you sing! It hits me right in my heart and not many singers can do that period point blank!! I love you Mija, never stop being true to the core! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Ah ... Jessie !!! The day I discovered your songs, I instantly connected, in ways I could never imagine. Your songs were like a medium when I could not explain someone how I felt, I could just shove the earphone in their ear. At the time I thought I was vibing to the song, but really it was something I just couldn't speak out. And here I am again, connecting and now understanding and feeling everything you said. I am in tears. Much love and good wishes to you Jessie !! ❤❣ 💐

To say that I loved this performance and Ted talk is an understatement💯she has always inspired me to keep going in life and I’m the industry.
