Jessie J Singing with Others

     I thought we would check out Jessie J performing with other artists this week. The UK Voice gave her plenty of opportunities so we will have a look at her performances with Will I Am, Danny O'donoghue and Tom Jones also the performance of Nobody's Perfect with Team Jessie member Vince Kidd. She really gave the performance with Vince her best shot. You know many thought she was showing off but I really believed she was trying to give it her best in wanting her new friend and team member Vince to win. It was probably not the right choice of song but hey, Nobody's Perfect and I really believe her heart was with Vince and even Vince has said it was a dream come true to sing with Jessie.

     Our next clip is her hit with James Morrison on his compostion, Up. I think even though this has only been a success in the UK. There is hit potential for other parts of the globe with this! The two of them sound great together! In my opinion this is where Jessie has the edge on other artists. I think James is limited to the ballad side of music but as Jessie keeps saying her music is eclectic and I think she can produce super quality ballads,pop,jazz,rhythm and blues or dance music. What ever she chooses.

     For our final clips this week I want to diverse to the unreleased and tv show side of Jess's career so far. Love the Knock on Wood clip from the Diva's Show with Jennifer Hudson and I have read this again about people not liking her endings because they felt she was trying to impress. Well in my opinion this is not so. She is being herself. She does this sort of ending all the time. She just let's herself go and what you see and hear is the end result and I love it. I just hope she keeps doing it and does'nt change. I am sure she won't! 
     We will take a look at a younger Jess performing with Amplify Dot on Sweetest Feeling. To end it  we will check out Mockingbird by her and her close friend from the Voice Tom Jones. You can see how much they admire each other here and in the last clip of I Gotta Feeling, the first time Tom performed with Jessie. I always smile at the look of amazement on Tom's face with Jessies vocals. The woooh! look on his face! He is impressed!

Jessica Cornish

      I thought for this weeks Jessica Cornish magic. We might take a look at some of her own uploaded videos! One of my favorites would have to be singing Domino while on holidays in Thailand! Just love how its all so natural. Just young girls having fun!

She obviously loved listening to Whitney Houston as a child. There is a couple of Whitney covers that she has uploaded so I thought we might have a listen to I Have Nothing!

I Have Nothing 





      I think Big White Room that she does in her LA bathroom would be another great piece of Jessie J magic we can take a look at! A song she wrote when she was seventeen about a childhood experience in the Great Ormond Street Hospital. She was eleven at the time. Jessie recalling the incident in an interview. I woke up in the middle of the night to see this little boy in an adjacent bed praying, and my mother explaining that he was having an operation the next day and was asking God to save him. Jessie continued: "He died the next day so I said to my mum 'but God didn't save him'. I was so angry and it really confused me. It had a strong effect on her so she put the experience into a song!

She went back to Great Ormond Street for the Comedy Gala Charity Show.

Hackney Weekend

      This week Jessie started her mini Europe tour at the Hackney Weekend with some super performances.I absolutely love watching her everytime she performs Domino. That song brings out the fun side and the amazing vocal abilities of Jessica Cornish. Absolutely love it! The way she brings the crowd into the song as well is brilliant.
      It was the main highlight for me but there were more as she performed Price Tag for only the second time with BOB and I must say it came across excellently! I love the way she works  her music and performances. Each time I see her perform she seems to be growing in confidence! Makes me think of this line from Who's Laughing Now. Thank you for the pain you made me raise my game. And I'm still rising,I'm still rising. Jessie J's star is definately still rising. She did a super performance of this on the Saturday at Hackney so I'm going to make that our first bit of magic for this week. Click on the link below !



Our second clip is the Sundays performance of Domino. I originally thought Saturdays performance outshone Sundays but WOW her Domino performance on Sunday was excellent!

UK Voice Final and Diamond Jubilee

     London was buzzing this week with the Queens Diamond Jubilee and UK Voice final so Jessica Cornish's week was a really productive one. There were two super performances on the voice. The first and highlight of the week for me was the coaches mash up of their hits. Absolutely loved this with all artists putting in super performances. The four minutes was such an enjoyable watch. Jessie got things rolling with Tom's Its Not Unusual and  when she passes the baton to Tom the look on Toms face says it all . That's perfection I'm sure was going through his mind. I have to comment on the connection between these two, their friendship and love for each other just lights up on their faces!  Then came  Will I Am & Jess with their lefts and rights during Price Tag . Will is such a relaxed, cool customer and Jess is such a fun character. I smile every time at their facial expressions and quirkiness. Then Wills dance on the spot,when he says c'mon to Jess,makes me laugh add in his cheshire cat smile.Just Love it!

        Our second clip from the voice is Jess and Vince's duet of Nobody's Perfect. Another A1 performance and I thought Vince did a fantastic job not to be overshadowed by Jess. I thought it was sung really well by the two of them. The only criticism I could have is I think Jess may have been trying a little too hard. She probably was wanting to make it a super performance to get Vince through.

   The Queens Jubilee sees another flawless Domino performance. You can tell she absolutely loves this song and so do I. It is a clever,fun,well written song which gets everyone in a party mood. She really plays around with it and as she has said in the past she feels like exploding at the end of Domino. Love Domino and love the amazing Jessie J.

     At the jubilee she also did I Gotta feeling/This Is Love with Will I Am not a bad performance but I think being her second shot at these with no warm up and being Wills songs she just was'nt quite there vocally for her! Loved the performance by them though. To finish up I thought we might look forward to this weekend and the Summertime Ball. Where Jess has already revealed that there is going to be a few fresh songs and collaborations. Which I will be anxiously waiting for the you tube postings of this concert so anyone going please record these and post. Anyone's guess what these may be. I know she is supposed to be collaborating with Ed Sheeran and he will be there as will Katy Perry also she has recorded something with Cee Lo Green back in early April but he is not going to be there. Another possibility is Professor Green and then an interesting possibility is her ex girlfriend  Kira who performed Sweetest Thing with her in 2009 was apparently spotted at the UK Voice final show. My last two clips this week are the interview with Capitol FM about the Summertime Ball and Sweetest Thing Jessie J ft Amplify Dot .
