I absolutely love how she takes her time to think before she speaks when she needs to. People are so focused on filling every gap when there's absolutely nothing wrong with taking the time to organize thoughts.

[@nmrizig]

Definitely a desirable quality to have. Something I'm working on instilling within myself.

[@davidecarretta4958]

Couldn’t agree more! I’ve only seen a few people doing that and I love it.

[@ajthegoat75]

I absolutely love your comment President Obama does the same thing and I think it’s great.

[@AlutaDaGreat]

@u2good2b4gotn lol not neccessarily... an introvert is generally concerned with their own thoughts rather than external things. It's different from taking your time to gather your thoughts to respond to questions. I am introverted and i don't always take time to gather all my thoughts before i speak so its not an underlying attribute of all introverts. Besides there are so many introverts everywhere but how many times do you see people pause for so long to answer questions?

[@sicfithgaming3665]

"I feel like in life when you are conscious of the fact high and lows, black and white, up and downs have to exist then sad songs have a little bit of love and even love songs have a little bit of sadness because you know that love can't last because nobody get out of love alive."

*She is all brain. Watch how she doesn't pay attention to excessive dressing or composure. Her head just works and her heart pours out through her works.

Just cuz ppl ain't wearing suits and dresses, it doesn't mean it's not an expensive overpriced brand. I've also seen suits and dresses cheaper than some jeans, tshirts etc.

I love how authentic, how true to herself she is. Even her body language is relaxed instead of stiff and reserved. She isn't trying to show herself in the best way, she's just showing who she really is, humble. I think she doesn't fit in with the hollywood music industry elite (that's a good thing imo), it's like she's more one of us and I love it.

[@emiliemercure]

Jessie Reyez is just an incredible person. I don't even know if "incredible" is the best word to describe her. She's just herself anywhere in her videos, in a show or even on a live performance. She had such a way to beautify sad songs and words. I'm so fan of her.

[@ashpterodactyl]

I'm from a small town called Tullahoma in Tennessee. A group of my friends formed a band when we were in high school and they're actually really good. They moved out to Nashville and got locally famous. They have a couple CD's, been played on the radio a handful of times. They vowed to never play in our hometown or Manchester (the city next to us and also where Bonnaroo is held), unless they were playing Bonnaroo. A couple years ago they actually did play Bonnaroo. It was so magical seeing them get to the point they were aiming for and it was super cool being at such a big festival and being able to say that I personally know a band that's playing it.
