Her Bullies Told Her Not To Sing, But Watch Her Now

[@USandNL]

The only reason that Kayla could have been bullied is because people were jealous.She's hugely talented and strikingly beautiful.

[@cherylalt101]

Maybe because she has red hair. I'm 68 and maybe things are different now cause red hair is much more common with people choosing all sorts of colors, but for kids, anything that makes them different will often be an excuse for others to bully them. I still have quite red hair, not nearly as bright as it used to be and I love it as an adult, but as a kid I was picked on all the time. Look at South Park's kick a ginger day lol. It's not easy even to be a little different as a kid.

[@nimoeuristides]

Nobody should be bullied despite of how the person looks.

[@I-live-and-learn]

Possibly. (Bullying is public cruelty just because.) (US, UK, NL)

[@redsonya1959]

​@@cherylalt101 Exactly, her gorgeous mane of red made her special, set apart from her ",colorless" classmates. I, too, am a natural redhead (was auburn in my early years) and am 6 ft tall to boot! So I can never disappear in a crowd! Kayla is stunningly beautiful and her light shines so brightly! She will DRAW A CROWD in her pursuit of singing and making beautiful music!! Go get 'em, Tiger Grrrrl!! 🥰

[@caribbeanqueen33]

Absolutely.

Hey Reggie, thank you for the post of Kayla singing. We have made contact with her and her Dad and are using our numerous contacts to help promote her and get exposure to the right people. Kayla has so much talent. Robert Roll, Montreal, Quebec, Canada!! :)

“School will end and you can do whatever you want” Big words 🙏

[@the_light_writer]

I know that money can be a factor sometimes when it comes to school, and I'm not here to judge anyone- I, too, was put through public schooling. But I feel like this young lady wouldn't have suffered so much with her mental health if she had been homeschooled or went to a creative arts school that allowed for that type of expression.

[@topazzsky]

The problem was her parents didn't move her to a different school, like I did my kids. I was a single parent of two, but I always put them first and gave them a new beginning and friends! Sometimes parents have to find better ways to give their children good lives! If you know your child is being bullied get them out of there! Don't dismiss the problems and stay there. Everyone should know by now that kids live in a separate world when they are not home with family. You can't talk their problems away. Thanks to the moves we've made as a family my kids finally found a school that gave them what they needed.

[@KaylaSummer_]

@@topazzskyI changed schools twice, first school was a private school and second was public. Both were equally bad. Honestly I’m grateful I went through it because it built my character.

[@rayanderson1941]

​@@guitaro5000 Yes, thank you for everything. Question: does anyone from a music company ever contacted about any one who sang with you?

[@guitaro5000]

@@rayanderson1941 Great question! It happened once or twice. But usually if the singer has a music social media, I put their contact info in the description of the video and the companies can contact the singer directly. Let me know if that answers your question. Thanks for watching!

@guitaro5000 Thank you. And yes, it answers my question. BTW, you were 10 miles away from me when you were in Montego Bay. But I didn't know until the video was released.

[@slcncr]

The moment Kayla starts to sing ... WOW ! You can feel that she has been through a lot. And she definitely has the soul, the blues.

[@Averybadcat]

What I love most about this channel and Reggie is that he always asks people how they feel after singing. No matter how they sounded, or if they come up and talk about how they are in the music business or have another album coming out, or if they are the exact opposite and are doing it to feel more confident in public or whatever, he just welcomes them all. He gives everybody encouragement and respect, and he always tells everybody appreciates the chance to play with them. He doesn't tell some singers they were fantastic, or they should be singing in clubs, or say that was pretty good, or OK or not say anything if it's not that great. That is why people are willing to do it, because he doesn't compare people and make it into a contest. That would defeat the purpose. He doesn't pass judgment. I also have to say when this lady asked him if he sings too or just plays the guitar, there is no "just playing the guitar" about this guy. He can play anything. Even if he doesn't know their song, once he hears 5-10 seconds of it, he can nail it. That is brilliant and fir sone reason nobody ever seems to compliment him. Without him though, we would not hear them. Sometimes he is too humble for his own good.

[@ritajaklitsch7559]

My thoughts exactly ... Thank you!

[@KarlGillcrist]

Leave as many comments as possible? No problem! Now I'm going to add a comment to all videos I watched and so there will be a lot 😀 Nice touching story. Minute 6:41 it's my favourite instant: "Yea we only..", it adds a personal touch to the song (i think) and to me it sounds so good. I heard the other song, summertime too of course, but there was not enough music, it is almost only voice, so it was a bit out of context for the channel. And this girl looks wonderful in blue/green dress. The light coming from behind, down the street, makes the scene like a movie. Don't need to say wow for the voice.
