My brain in math class when music isn't allowed:

How is this not called “Africapella”

Background dancers are kill’in it. Bottom left guy is REALLY passionate about them crash cymbals.

Everyone: ok let’s all do our part Top left guy: Do-do do do do 🕺🕺 💃 🎉🎉🎉

Probably the best thing I've ever seen Jared+Toto+Acapella = Dream

The guy on box C deserved the lead vocals. His high notes are way better then the ones of the guy on G.

Soprano: _EEEEEEEEEEEE_ Bass: *ooooooooooooooo* Jared: *Dance*

“This song was so good hey named a whole continent after it!” *Milky way candy was so good they named a whole galaxy after it*

Producer:What instrument do you play? Jared: *WeLl ItS cOmPliCaTeD*

YES!!! MORE SINGING, MORE DANCING, MORE BOBBING, MORE JAMMING!!! My Tuesday is complete ♥️

I waste a lot of time on RU-vid. I can, with 100% certainty, say that there was no better way to spend the 4 minutes and 4 seconds. This was absolutely amazing.

Parents when I’m on my phone: hEs DoINg soMEthiNg WronG Me just trying to listen to an acapella version of Africa: visible confusion

Okay, This Is Epic

It’s a yes from me

1 word... Masterpiece

Stumbled across this at 5a.m. whilst getting ready for work...and let me just say: 1. Ya got me up and motivated 2. This is amazing ! 3. It's gonna be a great day! 💖Thanks SO much💖

I never had a negative response to Jared’s videos

There are a lot of these on RU-vid. Most of them take themselves way too seriously. You look like you are having fun and that is infectious. Don't ever stop dancing, don't ever stop being you.

I saw Toto play in Olympic Park in Seoul back in 1996, and I sang my heart out to "Africa." Boy do I love this song. Sometimes I just want to go back and listen to old favorites to bring me back to those days and put a smile on my face after a long day. Your version is now my go-to for "Africa," and boy does it put a big smile on my face, especially with your dancing!

I'm literally in tears right now, thank you for this cover

That range holy crap 😳😱 perfect pick Jared!

I can’t believe how talented Jared is. He can sing in the same voice as Freddie Mercury, Michel Jackson, Elton John, John Denver and more. And the music he mimics is astounding.

Just by reading some of the comments in here I can see there are so many people who don't recognize the amount of talent being demonstrated here. That's unfortunate because they are missing out. Truly amazing!

Excellent! One of the best split screen a capellas I have ever seen

God why is this absolutely incredible? ItS GoNnA tAkE A lOt To DrAg Me FrOm YoUuUuUuUuUuUuU

THIS IS DOPE

2:48 Top Right Corner. Me when I know its Friday last hours before Weekend!

This is great! How did you find all of those clones of yourself? They look identical to you!

My last 16 brain cells when I’m trying to revise for my GCSEs

This is a masterpiece, an image of grace and beauty. True culture.

Jesus Mary Joseph. I’m exhausted thinking about the amount of brain power that goes in to making this video. Bravo.

This is underrated, I love it so much

That is just stunning ....such an entertaining approach with the multiple "You's" dancing in and out of frame and such a wonderful tone just LOVE it !

Jared, you are so underrated. You just gave me goosebumps with this talent of yours. Wish I could sing like you! Well done. 🎶

Still can’t get over the fact that a continent is named after this meme🤪🤪

Great video again Jared. I always enjoy your acapellas and covers. Don’t stop what you’re doing!

One of my favourite videos on the internet, hands down.

I just discovered this guy today from a link on RU-vid. Wow. Truly impressive! Not just the vocals and harmonies etc. but the video/camera effects. I love this guy! Can't wait to hear more from him.

This song has inspired me to go to church in South Africa so I can pray for the precipitation that happens there.

This makes me think that I've never appreciated acapella enough...really well done!

Some people say it's the best song ever recorded... Awesome cover, anyway!

You are freakin’ awesome Jared! I’ve secretly rocked out in the car and been a worship leader for many years. God has blessed you with some amazing talent. I love the dancing too. Gave me a lift in my spirit today. Thanks and God Bless!

Stumbled across this. Thank you for the smile and fun. ❤

Thank god for notifications (I’m supposed to be studying 😂😂😂 )

I’m back here constantly to rewatch this. So love this song Jared and the dad dancing. It’s incredible

the way he dances? My spirit animal.

this looks so intricate and I love how you pay so much attention to every sound and note! I always enjoy your medleys and covers! keep up the work!

15% of the time: enjoying Jared's amazing singing the other 85% : finding the dancing man The top left particularly left me in stitches - he literally sings the 5 beats going into the chorus and the rest of the time is just being spectacular. And mouthing the words. Dear Jared - you are Jared. You may sing with the other Jareds. It is ok.

Absolutely fantastic!! Thank You!! Such incredible talent.

I wish I could like this ten times. So awesome! Loved the background dancing too! Great stuff

How about a best of the 80s compilation.

This video brings me joy on so many levels, and the dancing just adds that much more delight. Excellent job!

What a great voice! What harmony! Thank you for this.

My favorite song ever to hear in A Capella. Excellent! Thank you.

Dude this is insane

*My life has been complete*

This does... put a smile on my face.

That was absolutely awesome singing ! Thanks so much for sharing this gem.

After a stressed busy morning, this really made me smile! I loved it. The dance moves were great, and the soul seen from the awesome multiple performances were great! Thanks!! Hope to see more.

Beautifully done! The harmonizing is just *so* perfectly blended and satisfying to hear, especially with my earbuds in. Plus the couple frames of dancing around always make me laugh. Thanks for helping me wake up with a smile today!

This was just so incredible! Loved every second of it ❤️

YOU ARE SO AMAZING I CAN'T EVEN PROCESS IT CORRECTLY

First time I heard you and first video awesome voice. Right on pitch and everything well done

Dude this is amazing, it sound incredible, not to sound rude, but I’m just wondering if you could anymore imagine dragons songs, if you could, I would recommend Polaroid (it one of my favourite songs) But what ever, this is just magnificent dude, great work!!!

I really love the random dances he does in some of the squares, makes me laugh every time. 😁😁😂

You are an amazing and talented individual. ...ty for sharing your talent.

I was having my breakfast listening to this, and smiling while eating my porridge :) This was lovely to listen to and watch - thank you.

you are amazingly gifted, sir! keep it up!

love, love, love this, this song makes me feel so happy every time I hear it

I cannot get enough of the dancing and how amazing everything sounds

THIS WAS AWESOME!!!! Also looks like it took a lot of work, nice job for sure!

Best acapella song EVER, and you absolutely make it even more amazing! Such talent.

Jared Halley - THIS was TOTALLY AMAZING!!!! Loved it!!! Thank you for sharing! I'm beyond words...it was so good, and fun to watch!!!!

When my class does not know which song is the best Me:

Ever since finding your videos a few months back, I bought a few of your albums on iTunes. Dude you’re amazing!

One of a kind talent of urs...... Totally amazing

Enjoyed every second of your a cappella rendition of this great song. A cappella performances are appreciated.

How in the Ef does anyone Not Like this. Just the editing work needed for this is impressive AF! Good on ya! 👊🏼

That was Fantastic!!! Cannot wait to see and hear more!!! You got a sub here!!!

Incredibly in love with this song - and also with you now. Thanks man. 🙏🏻

I swear Jared I have watched this about 15 times over 6 months! Its so good dude! It brings back my memories from highschool from being in Madrigal. Thank you again for your time! ;-)

1:19 was BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for this lovely video, Jared. So much talent and swag holy frick

Absolutely excellent video!! Best music video on RU-vid.

My favorite video! Can't stop watching! Thanks!!!

Seeing this is just bananas. Stunning. Thanks dude

I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She's coming in, 12:30 flight The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation I stopped an old man along the way Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you" It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh) The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what's right As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh) Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain) I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain) I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa (ah, gonna take the time) Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)

Steller performance man! Love the song! Great job!

Nice song choice, nice concept and execution. This guy doesn’t have a solo voice, but as a backup singer, he clearly shines.

I found you about a fortnight ago and cannot get this out of my head. Listen to it daily! Love it

Multiple Africa's from parallel universes blessed this piece!

Es tan hermoso, me llena de nostalgia

This is the greatest tribute to one of the greatest songs ever.... you just nailed it!

I just love the energy and youre makin pumped up

Your acapella music is so beautiful

Omg you made my day❤

The harmonies are legitimately perfect

Great job! One of my favorites!

I always search for the Jared who is singing the melody😂
