Jessie J was lauded as the bright promise for pop music in 2011. She was going to bring something a bit different and shake things up. Unfortunately a prize from the BBC and lots of critical critical acclaim can go to you head – and that’s what seems to have happened here. The singer has been acting like a drunk at the bar, commenting how she likes to “say it like it is” and claiming others don’t live up to her standards in this department.
“I sometimes think that’s what everyone else in the industry wishes they could do, but they started out being so perfect that any time they do anything out of the ordinary, people pick up on it, I decided that if I just started out being me, no one can ever say I’ve changed”.
So what has she been telling like it is? Has she been going having a dig at the Gaddafi regime, or talking about the upcoming AV vote? Well if she has it hasn’t been reported. No instead the unstoppable speaker of the truth has been laying it down about a narrow sector of music- and it’s the sort of thing we’ve heard from Lily Allen a million times before.

It’s a bit embarrassing for us though. When she first came about we joined in the chorus of trumpeting her. Yes she was a standard Brit school graduate, so didn’t really have a story different from about fifty others trying to break in. However, Do It Like a Dude did genuinely have some edge. Shame then that it has been replaced firstly by Lady gaga style costumes, and now a play to make faux controversial statements that will be picked up by people like us on slow news days.

Always amused when a pop star claims how down to earth and real they are … via a professionally worded press release

“the unstoppable speaker of the truth” hahaha that’s funy! i sometimes wonder if some of these “artists” *cough* puppets *cough* realise how stupid they make themselves look. Jessie J can’t actually be taken seriously by or appeal to anyone over the age of 18 can she? Also, i think Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction) wants her hair back!
