Jesy Nelson - Boyz (Live at Capital's Jingle Bell Ball 2021) | Capital 

Not someone in the crowd screaming ‚no we’re not’ when she asked if theyre ready 1:16 😭

THESE BACKUP DANCERS KILLED IT!!

And the crowd goes mild

The fact that you can CLEARLY hear someone in the audience, without a microphone, yell no we’re not at 1:17 proves just how quiet this crowd was

She performed this song as if it was a hit single that’s been out for 5 years

i love how the crowd is dead, they understood the assignment

3:18 I just noticed that the people standing front row are actually stand STILL, and SILENT. I can totally feel that savage energy.

I come back every holiday season to rewatch this masterpiece

She set herself up with that intro. You do that with a song that's well known not a forgettable song from a new soloist

She stuck her tongue more times during this performance than Miley Cyrus through her whole career.

1 year to this meme-masterpiece

the guitar riff still the best part of this performance

You can tell by the pauses at the beginning that she expected the audience to be going batshit for her

"JINGLE BELL BALL, ARE YOU READY?" "NO, WE'RE NOT" im dead

The audience saying “no, we’re not” when Jesy Nelson asked if they’re ready is the only thing you need to know about her solo career’s trajectory

Technically, she did great. Stable energy throughout, singing live (for atleast 30% of the song 😂), hyping the crowd (even if its not working 😂), and doing full choreo. You can definitely tell that she's a performer, her stage presence is present. But all of these are shaded by the hate that she's getting, which she deserve actually. And yes, guitar and backup dancers did so well 🔥.

I’m obsessed with the audience just staying completely still 💀

The fact that that "No, we're not" can be heard is a testament to how the audience was making no noise for her.

Grateful capital never turned off the comment section of this gem 🙏🏾

I think the disconnect is this.......... whilst she was in Little Mix, Jesy elicited a lot of empathy towards her for being vulnerable. People felt for her and started to really fall in love with her for being open, genuine and vulnerable. The minute she announced her solo career, she started losing supporters because she'd been saying how vulnerable she had been feeling in the band and how she wanted to step away from the lime light, to then immediately anounce her solo career!. Many people sniffed a rat and wondered if there was even any truth in her initial statements regarding her 'wanting to step away from the limelight'. From personal tragedies arises the chance to write and produce an album from the heart. Christina Aguilera's 'Stripped' is a perfect example of how a female artist took the pain from her childhood and wrote about it. She kept the album close to her heart and gave it real emotion. In turn both the album and the singles were hugely successful. The trouble with Jesy's efforts is that they seem a little insincere. The Americanism of the music video was so jarring because Jesy is a Brit through and through. She started her career here in the UK, so to see her detach herself from not only her band, but seemingly her country was quite cringe. Then to sing about bad boys was double cringe. Had she capitalised on her raw emotional feelings and showcased her emotional side on a first single, it would have attracted so many people who would buy in to her personality. She likely would have had more success. Shame really

for those of y'all wondering, she took her tongue out *16* times. 16 TIMES IN A 4 MIN PERFORMANCE, and those are only the ones which i could see in the close up shots. :D

I KNOOOW I’m not the only one who heard the “no we’re not” after she asked if they were ready

0:35 someone said get off 💀

This wasn't the song to debut with but she sure is a performer!

The dancers didn’t get enough screen time in this video, they really carried this whole performance

The silent, unimpressed, crowd speaks volumes

0:19 the fact that you can hear her nose inhale 💀 that crowd was dead silent

Never felt so embarrassed for any performer in my life like I do for her 🥴🤦🏽‍♂️

So cute the dancers let that woman perform with them

New drinking game: every time Jesy sticks her tongue out or shouts ‘LETS GO’ instead of singing her song, take a shot. You’ll be hammered.

absolutely obsessed with the guitar lick (?) at 1:01 like seriously it is so beautiful i wish it were a part of any song but this one because i want to listen to it again and again

3:50 was definitely my favourite part of her performance! her vocals and the dance…my biracial queen jesy ate 😍😍😍❤️

The crowd was real quiet😶 The dancers killed iiitt👏🏽

I really wish RU-vid didn’t take the dislikes away😭 cause I know there would be an insane ratio

I do love Jesy's voice and I think she is very talented..however, I have always felt like she is trying too hard - she tries to be what she thinks other people want her to be. She just doesn't seem authentic to me, more like someone playing the role of "baddie."

The sad thing is Jesy can sing, she has a beautiful voice. But this song for her first solo, in my opinion was not the one. I've never had anything against the girl, she is beautiful and talented and she hasn't deserved the abuse she used to get, the name calling, body shaming, threats. I do wish her the best of careers, but she should be herself. Not be like others.

1:17 “NO WE’RE NOT” 😭 after she asks the crowd “ARE YOU READY?”

The dancers deserve as much exposure as Jesy's tongue had. They slayed 👏

The main issue is that she performed this like it was the song of the year or an old hit that everyone loves, but on the other hand I do sometimes come back and watch this in amazement (the quitar near the beginning was genuinenly awesome tho, she should've kept that vibe).

Performing likes she is at the Brit Awards and outfit like she is at the VMA’s 😂😂

i don’t feel bad for being more focused on the background dancers. they ate this

She between her pauses: 💁‍♀️🎤👅 The crowd in general: 👁👄👁 3 people in the entire arena: 👏👏YES GAGA SLAY MAMA

1 Year passed and this Meme of a performance and Its still a cultural reset, thank you Jesy. Realy hiping for her to find another label so we can hear that album that got her kicked for the previous one 😂👋🏻

Had to come here again a year later to say JINGO BEH BAW ARE YO READY

The way she's performing the song like it went #1

No hate but that elecitric guitar/bass part at 1:01 - 1:05 was a genius change and by far my favourite part actually

iconic for all the wrong reasons

With all the memes and bullying, this performance became iconic 😭😭😭😭😭

1:17 I love whoever said “no we’re not” when jesy said “are you ready?”

1:12 one of the best things I’ve ever heard. The way she begins the awkward dance as the beat drops and the weird thuds begin. The way the crowd is completely silent except for someone shouting “no we’re not”. The confidence Jesy said it with, the look on her face. Perfection.

The fact we all felt sympathy for her when she made that documentary and she chosen this as her debut single as a solo 🫣🫣🫣🙄🙄🙄🫣🫣🙃🙃🙃

She gave 200% and still flopped so hard 😂😂

she’s giving it the #1 on the bubbling under charts energy!

I love how she is taking "break" from music and perfoming.. for her mental health 😍🙄

"no we're not" THE MOST ICONIC PART OF THIS WHOLE PERFORMANCE

The Irony of her only having two songs and two performances to her entire solo career (which is now almost 4 years old), and not being able to sing the first song because of its affiliation, and the second song because of the first! Man, she really can't win. Guarentee this wasn't part of her manifestation.

Iconic lines by our black queen. ‘Loveahbettabetta-AnnaSwii’ ‘Badboinorecapee’ ‘SHEeTs’ ‘Silent shoulder dance’

This performance cured me from depression. It made me laugh so much that now I am the happiest person alive. Thankyou our multiracial Queen Jesy.

Ok but this is ICONIC😭

It really wasn't that bad.. it was just the tongue.

It’s the 👅 confidence for me while the crowd quiet 😭😭😭😭😭

Those backup dancers didn’t deserve that applause, they deserve so much more. They killed it. Jesy didn’t.

I have literally no f***" idea what people are talking about...This is not a bad performance at all...I don't know why people stayed silent....I think her looks aren't a completely people accepted one

Every once in a while I have to come back to this iconic video

Top Jesynelsian words 1. Balegdeh 2. Luvuhbettabetta anne-swi 3. Lededetoe lesko 4. Baadboiimiresipiii 5. Jingow bew baw 6. Sheeeeeetzzzh

honestly, what on earth, jupiter and mars was she expecting. she was acting as if her song had 5,289 grammy nominations and went #1 in every single country and island. anywayssss... the choreography is 💯💯

Who came from the vid where they made it look like the audience was going crazy for Jesy???

Considering how things have gone for her career-wise since her disastrous solo debut, the best thing Jesy could do is beg to be let back into Little Mix if the time comes when they reform. She could chalk the whole "Boyz" and subsequent Nicki Minaj debacle up to a misjudgment and I'm sure the girls would forgive her. Little Mix is about sisterhood, after all.

The silence is painful....Oh Jesy, you could of had it all, fans , little mix blessing, if you had just done it right and had the right attitude 😔

the way the crowd was so unbothered...

I love Trisha Paytas, Best Concert of hers !

This one is to blame on the team. Jingle Bell Ball is not the place for your first live performance of a recently released song. Esp when Jesy had performed a lot of times there with Little Mix.

The silence of the audience says everything that is needed.

Jesy: “JINGLE BELL BALL ARE YOU READY?!” Everyone: “NO WE’RE NOT!”

“Just STOP!!” Lmaooo 00:35 haha

1:17 "NO, WE'RE NOT" got me so hard omg i cant🗣️🗣️

It really is such a shame. If she'd waited to leave LM, there would be less bitterness between them. If she'd just apologised or acknowledged her conduct, there would be less grief. She must have a terrible team of people around her who don't understand how to pitch her as a soloist or are just so ignorant that they can't understand why people are so mad. She really thought she was serving Beyoncé standard of performance here and what is worse is that she probably has friends, family, and even fans telling here that she ate here. I hope she learns from this and I really don't want to be hateful. I just want this all to stop!

Honestly I think she's still not that used to singing an entire song by herself without breaks. In little mix she'd focus on her solo and during choruses it's not that noticeable if you're a little out of breath from dancing or cut out for a second to catch your breath because there are 3 others still singing. These things however are really noticeable if you're performing alone.

i genuinely don’t think her performance is as bad as people are making it out to be.

So are we supposed to think this was a bad performance just bc yall hate her? 💀

This has the same energy as Addison Rae performing Obsessed.

We love seeing our Jamaican queen showing her love for her culture 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 😍

I saw this for the first time on a nicki minaj fan account, and i thought it was edited to sound like the crowd was this quite as a joke. I’m surprised that it was not edited at all.

the beginning is like one of those videos where they remove the background sounds to intentionally make it awkward and funny

The guitar and dancers carried the performance

I WANT A MIC FEED FROM THIS 😭 did she even sing a 25% of the song?

The moment when you realized you should stay in the group cause after that your sólo Carrier goes to trash

She have a great stage presence its just the crowd made it laughingstock

Okay but whoever was in charge for this remix needs a raise that little guitar thing at 1:01 was everything , and ofc the dancers ate

The jokes are funny but she did perform it like it was a #1 even after all the hate she received. It’s commendable tbh.

People are cruel. You have no idea what this girl has been through. You can tell she always felt out of place next to the other girls in the group. If she left that was her business and why also her business. No matter the fact is she can sing.

I can’t get over the electric guitar. ❤

Jesy is so lucky youtube removed the dislikes bc imagine the ratio 💀💀

this performance is on the same level as fergie singing the national anthem.

Wait, the crowd was actually crickets? I always thought it was an edit for laughs 😂

I don't understand one thing. Why is everyone hating on her? Like it was her choice to quit little mix and she has her reasons. I just don't think anyone who hated on her doesn't do the right thing. Let her do her thing and if you don't like her then just ignore her. its not hard ya´ll.

jesy is amazing show casing her african culture in this performance we need more black artists like her in the industry

She is doing so much wrong with her solo music career: - Alienating herself from Little Mix and therefore much of her fanbase - Using a sample in her first song instead of coming up with something fresh and showing what makes her unique - Her first song being filled with lyrical cliches instead of showing her true personality - Changing her look up so much in her music videos and performances making her less memorable - Focusing too much on dance and less on vocals which I think is the most unique part about her (her voice is unlike any other) - Blackfishing which is not only offensive to people of colour but also distances her from potential white fans - Losing trust and respect of her audience by acting like a hypocrite complaining about people bullying her but letting Nicki Minaj bully Leigh-Anne, while also likely lying about her ignorance surrounding blackfishing. I don't know if she can ever redeem herself now.

Why was the audience 💀 ?? She was Killin it up there..

The fact this is one of the most watched jingle ball performance in 2020s 💀
