It would appear so :rolleyes:
She headlines every thing she appears on, and she was photographed with the title "Best of Britain" in the press wearing the wig dressed up as Freddie Mercury (when she ruined the classic)
God, the shouty shrieky voice and the way she says "Je je je je je Jessie J" Arrgghhhhh
She is so overated.
I know I will be bombarded with hate now for being the only person in the world fed up of her but seriously!!!!

Her rendition of We Will Rock You at the Olympic closing ceremony was a joke.
Well thank God I'm not the only one!!
I would have much preferred the screen of Freddie Mercury to stay on instead of her ruining such a classic..
I just hope all the kids who've been brainwashed by the media (thanks to her record label) into thinking she's some sort of 'amazing, unique talent' eventually come round and see the reality. Probably won't happen though, knowing the state of the UK charts at the present time
I didn't find it funny.
I started crying.
It was like they'd taken Freddie, and skewered him to death with an olympic javelin right there on the stage.
She's not worthy to ................
For Brian and Roger she was worthy, I think that matters more for me than your view.
the last paragraph also interested me because i do notice that she doesnt have very quotable lyrics. who you are does and a couple others do, but for the most part no. i have noticed that she writes her songs like rappers write their rhymes. rainbow, who's laughing now, and price tag could easily be rap songs with the way they are written. hell, even party in the usa is written like a rap song in the verses. it's funny because she started her career as a rapper and not a singer, and some of her old songs from youtube actually have raps in them that she raps, most notably, the song catwalk. i think she took that writing style with her and it doesnt translate well for some because they arent used to it. their is a very narrow view of what pop music is even though the genre isnt really a genre at all, but their is something that tells us how it should be.
See, this is a comment that could fit easy in the Pitchfork review, not the cheap Rebecca Black comparison.
I think she was wrong for that slot..they'd have done better with an old film of Freddie along with the live band.
she was totally overused at the Closing Ceremony -she does have a certain talent but she is completely overrated and should not have had all the exposure she has had at these big UK events imo.
Nope, biggest ego probably yes
somebody likes her. she keeps selling out shows and people tune in to watch her. that is really all that matters. several venues for her tour next year sold out within hours and the london shows sold out in 5 minutes. they had to add more due to demand. as long as there are people that support her, she will be around and she has a pretty strong fanbase.
What the hell?
Freddie was a Drama Queen and Jessie is a Drama Queen, too.
If I recall right, he was in his heydays ignored by the rock fraktion, and now he is some kind of saint?
thank you the thing about reviews is they dont actually do the research on an artist aside from a quick google search. wikipedia doesnt come close to describing how these people got to where they are and what they bring to the table aside from what is at face value. hopefully after im finished with college, i can change that aspect of reporting.
I do think she over sings a lot of songs and If I was as famous as her I would ensure I had an entourage who would tell me when my wardrobe looks like something an olympic skater would wear... It was a total malfunction....
Or maybe she does have a posse but they dislike her too
that is always the way it goes. every artist that comes along gets slagged off. i think michael jackson is the only one who didnt in the beginning of his career, but that all happened later. two years ago all this was being said about adele. the truth is, no one knows what the future holds. maybe jessie will become the new duffy or maybe she will continue to shine. only time will tell, but even if she becomes the biggest name out there she will be slagged off. it's the nature of the game.
people also criticized her outfit as being inappropriate for a freddie tribute, even though if her were alive he would probably have worn the same thing except left out the tights.
The same goes now with Heart shaped box, I mean you can like the cover or not that's not my problem
But if I see some comments like "He would roll in his grave"(I mean, what kind of sick joke)
At his time we (who heard something like Hüsker Dü, Pixies, Sonic Youth) were like "Oh, alternative goes now mainstream" And that was not thought as a compliment.
Queen were never a 'cool' band, and arguably they still aren't (you rarely see any of their albums on 'greatest ever' lists), but in time their wry, operatic sensibilities have become more appreciated. That, and the vacuum of a showman with Mercury's charisma has made him more missed.
In Jessie J's case she's just too mediocre to garner even retrospective 'respect'. Her brand of pop is utterly safe, and Queen were never that.
