Jessie J leaving the UK
Jessie is reportedly off to try and crack America, but why? Why do British artist feel the need to always rushing off to the US after making their name in Britain? Most of them come back having failed, so is it really worth it?
If this story is true, I wish her well, but I can't help but feel she will be added to the failed list.

Cheerio then :rolleyes:
It is quite funny because her starpower is dwindling here. No #1 singles from her new album. Her new album is predicted to sell more than half that her debut did in its first week etc.
And I'm sure that quote is old as well.
Nothing has taken off because nothing has been released. Wild was out on iTunes, but that's it. It wasnt promoted or sent to radios when it came out. It was just out on iTunes and that was about it. Other than that, the only two songs she has actually released here are Price Tag and Domino. That's it. She sold her album here and reached number 11 I think, just off the back of Price Tag. Domino wasn't released until a while later and that has been the extent of what she has done here. Considering that's all she's released and both singles went platinum, not too shabby for a newcomer.
Don't bother coming back.
As for why artists go out to the America, it's quite simple: more people = more potential buyers = more money. The US is one of the biggest music markets, it's more financially rewarding than the UK. There are more cities to tour than the UK. It can open a lot of doors. Once you've conquered the US, the world is pretty much your oyster.
Change the Locks
Let's hope she books a one-way ticket
The problem is the songs, Price Tag was a fantastic song, Domino was the musical embodiment of the middle of the road, mid-tempo songs that commercial stations like Capital play...so no wonder it was the most played song on radio last year.
the new singles just aren't of the same quality, Its My Party in particular just sounds like a song Pink turned down!
