New Akoo videos: "Hit the Ground Runnin'" & "Wasted Tears"

YEAH the girl's on a B_Roll

BE RO what's that

I thought she said "B-roll" and took it to be a variation of "B-side" -- the recording on the flip side of a record.

Wikipedia says:

B-roll, B roll, or Broll is the supplemental or alternate footage intercut with the main shot in an interview or documentary.

...The term "B-roll" is now limited to secondary footage that adds meaning to a sequence or disguises the elimination of unwanted content. This technique of using the cutaway is common to hide zooms in documentary films: the visuals may cut away to B roll footage of what the person is talking about while the A camera zooms in, then cut back after the zoom is complete. The cutaway to B roll footage can also be used to hide verbal or physical tics that the editor and/or director finds distracting: with the audio separate from the video, the filmmakers are free to excise "uh"s, sniffs, coughs, and so forth.

It may be a term Akoo was using or one she has picked up on from being filmed so much.

All very interesting from a technical standpoint...but it certainly doesn't explain why Haley got such a kick out of saying "B-Roll" (possibly BeeRow). I like to think someone at Akoo offered to add to their highlight of the day, having Haley Reinhart in the studio, by getting some beer...that would get a hilarious face and laugh out of Haley. But that could just be Buzz projecting his humor on Haley

I can't see Haley bursting out in laughter mentioning B-Roll film footage...but that's just me.

When Haley says "you guys" she kind of motions over her shoulder. I think it's possible Akoo was talking to her over an earpiece and Haley was talking to the Akoo people but changed it up and gave a nervous laugh when she realized the audience was listening.

@HaleyReinhart they're playing you at my schools dining hall

[Babbs234]

I can't believe Akoo videos are playing in schools now. That's cool. Must be in "college" dining halls. Don't you think guys?

Dining halls and food courts. A year ago they were said to have an audience of 420,000 students in universities across the U.S.

I am curious to know if Haley was playing because a student had initiated it via text or if she is again in the regular rotation (given that Akoo just released two new videos of her).
