Well at this year’s BET Awards, Toronto’s Jessie Reyez elicited a similar response with her soulful and heart-wrenching performance of her single, ‘Figures’.

Jessie stopped by Big Boy’s radio show and expressed how she felt after that performance saying, “I got off the stage and started crying and hugged my folks and ran out to where the stairs were and it just all came out and I started shaking.”

She added, “You don’t understand, I was so scared and so nervous that I was going to cuss, choke, scared that I was going to get too emotional because sometimes that happens if I get too into a song.”
