This was heartfelt. The woman showed her soul, was real and pure in her being. Showcasing the truth through her music & her philosophy of life was the perfect combination

[@TJ-nt2xf]

This live version is my absolute favourite. Could listen to it on repeat all day.

[@G.I.Jonesi]

Glad to see her on TED! She's an amazing singer/songwriter and her voice is so beautiful! THANKS for this!

[@andrewkaylor2416]

Got to see Jessie perform in person and she is amazing!!! She evokes emotion with ease. Was happy to see her pop up on this channel, an unexpected treat!

[@G.I.Jonesi]

I can highly recommend it to see her live! I went to a concert in Cologne early this year. It was amazing!

[@yashimaape9460]

hits that damn spot! Im crying Jessie Reyes

[@marinwebb91]

Been here for years as her fan. Always been such a beautiful person & artist! A gift to see her on the Ted stage ✨️🤍

[@pamelyncaldwell4060]

Totally f'ing profound & true. Life is what we make it... No matter our age, race or circumstances. Life will always push us forwards whether we accept or resist. Through it all our lives will be profoundly changed. True no matter the vehicle of that profoundness. We have the choice. Through crap we are given gifts to glean. I happened on this video with Jesse's song, it was confirmation for me... I'm on the path that has catapulted me here, to healing and my life. That I can be happy wherever I am in my life... And count it all blessings and joy. Love your voice and songs Jess... You sing like I speak... Love it❤

[@nl3497]

The Pain & The Emotions is a damn Vibe thanks for this 😮

[@lenorasegura]

This is my favorite live performance by her. I keep coming back to this video. The first song “STILL C U” is truly the best/my favorite and so good! 💯

So proud of you, Jessie!! 🫶🏻❤️‍🔥

[@Philosophycase15]

This could’ve been me if I didn’t have narcissistic parents that wouldn’t let me pursue my dreams. Girl get it! You’re incredible!

[@RexiMotorSports]

That is still you, go for it! The universe is waiting for you to wake up

[@Nikki-qe8fo]

love her voice！🤩

[@suryatn]

TED, please fix the video description. Jessie turned her losses to wins. She and her talk, complimented with her songs, are indeed an inspiration for others to do the same. So, lets keep the magic going by flipping the words. And, if AI magic was used, best to fix the bot as well.

[@wafs1900]

The crowd did not understand the assignment!

[@princesskayla1177]

Not people being that pressed to come in here and write negative comments 😂

[@asyhabdf]

The fact that there a gap between ages, makes me laugh

[@theloniousm4337]

Jessie Reyez doesn't disappoint. She has a nice voice but when she opens her mouth to talk garbage comes out.
