SO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT JESSIE J?

Well, I'll oblige. First of all her real name is Jessica Ellen Cornish. Very British, which is appropriate cuz that's what she be, British! Jessie attended a performing arts school as a child and apparently rocked it because she soon found herself appearing on stage in Andrew Lloyd Weber's musical Whistle Down the Wind at age 11. She's had health problems since she was a child, suffering from an irregular heartbeat that ultimately resulted in her having a minor stroke at age 18. YIKES! Because of this, she does not drink or smoke cigarettes. I'd personally rather have a series of small strokes than give up alcohol, but to each her own. She got her start in pop music writing tracks for other artists, including Miley Cyrus and Chris "Beat-her-down" Brown. Jessie opened for Cyndi Lauper on the UK stretch of Bring Ya To the Brink tour in 2008 while signed to Gut Records. That label folded before Jessie was able to release any music though. After working on an album for 6 years, Jessie signed with Island Records and finally released her debut single in late 2010 in the UK. Do It Like a Dude, the hard hitting, girl power single, shot to #2 on the British charts and got people talking. The next song, Price Tag, released in January 2011, was an even bigger hit, topping the chart. It's currently climbing the charts here in the US due to her fantastic appearance on SNL. The album, Who You Are, was released February 25th in the UK and is sitting at #2, just behind the apparently unbeatable Adele. Jessie J is an open bisexual, stating in an interview, "I've never denied it. Whoopie-doo guys, yes, I've dated girls and I've dated boys - get over it." Okay. Concider it done. I am a little infatuated with Jessie right now. The album is FANTASICRAZEBALLS!!!! Who You Are is set for release in the US on April 12th. Until then, watch the videos for Do It Like a Dude and Price Tag below. FUN!!! Does that give you a clearer idea about her?
