Jessie J confessed to The Mirror she angered bosses on the UK version of ‘The X Factor’ after telling her Twitter followers (@jessiejofficial) that she had signed on to be a guest mentor for judge Tulisa Contostavlos. “I accidentally leaked it. I wasn’t supposed to tweet about it. It was a secret and I got told off,” Jessie explained. The 23-year-old added that “having two different, strong opinions coming together” will be good for the Simon Cowell show.
Jessie J checked in with her Twitter followers (@jessiejofficial) moments ago, talking about the funeral of soul singer Amy Winehouse, taking place today (July 26), as well as an update on her broken foot is doing. The 23-year-old writes:
My thoughts are with Amy, Amy’s family and friends today. x
Don’t take life for granted, or moan about the little things that really don’t matter. Embrace what you do have and the people close to you….
Okay, I’m off to the hospital for a check up. See how my foot is doing. :) #positivethinking

But unfortunately these things happen. I have to remain positive and I promise I will make it up later in the year.”

Jessie J tells The Mirror she sought advice from Katy Perry during a brief visit with the ‘E.T.’ singer. “She told me to make sure I keep people I love around me,” the British pop singer said. “I didn’t mean to get that serious, I was only meeting her for a minute and I was like, ‘Can I have a counselling session please?'”
Jessie J tells the Wall Street Journal she doesn’t try to overthink her look. “I like doing my own makeup,” the 23-year-old said. “I think it’s funny when I read articles about how to get the Jessie J look. If they knew what I went through this morning! I usually set my alarm an hour and a half before I have to leave. My hair takes 25 minutes, then my makeup 45 and I chuck everything I might wear in a bag. I style myself. Fans can sniff a fake and I don’t want to be one.”
Jessie J is jumping to the defense of ‘The X Factor’ singer Cher Lloyd after it was claimed the 17-year-old was copying Jessie’s hairstyle. The ‘Do It Like A Dude’ singer told her Twitter followers (@jessiejofficial) earlier today:
Can I just set the record straight… I do NOT own my hair cut nor have I copyrighted it. So if anyone else inc Cher wants a bob then it doesn’t bother me. Its a haircut people, stop making up bullsh*** and creating hype. I think it looks good on her :)
I’ve seen a lot of mags and newspapers and tweets slating her. Its so uncool. She is 17 and doesn’t deserve any of it. And I want people to know that’s how I feel. :) RT @jpe213: @jessiejofficial I can’t believe you have to actually spend time responding to crap like this - #ridiculous
Jessie J is out with the music video to her new single ‘Nobody’s Perfect’, off the English pop singer’s debut album ‘Who You Are’, out now on Lava/Universal Republic. Watch the Emil Nava directed video via Vevo below.
Jessie J spoke with 3 News in New Zealand about working with Dr. Luke on two tracks from her debut album and how she told the hitmaker that she wanted songs that wouldn’t make her sound like artists he recently helped scale the music charts. “I remember first going in with Dr. Luke and it’s big pressure when you know you’re going in with someone that’s written huge hits for other female artists and you don’t want to sound like them,” she explained. “And I went in with him and (songwriter) Claude (Kelly) and said, ‘This is who I am. This is what I do.’ And I remember being told like, you know, Luke is kind of very intense, just take it slow and I kind of went in and was like, ‘What up! Like, hello!’ And I think he appreciated my kind of honesty and I said, ‘Look, I don’t want to sound like this, this, this and this.’ And we sat for hours and went through my iTunes and listened to like old Mary J. Blige and old Mariah (Carey) and Whitney (Houston) and Lauryn (Hill) and I said, ‘I kind of want to write tracks like that.’ And there’s a song on my album called ‘Abracadabra’ which totally is very different to what kind of, I wouldn’t say what Luke does, but you know that big, pop Katy Perry, Britney (Spears), I forgotten her name … Ke$ha - that kind of sound.” Read more and watch the interview here.
