P!nk vs Jessie J - the debate
Was wondering who you guys prefer in terms of artist and music.
I know jessie j hasnt been round very long but she has got so much publicity much more so then p!nk.
However P!nks latest album wasnt her best (it was middlish) but it has gone 2 x platinum in the uk!!! Which is amazing. Her greatest hits has also gone 2 x platinum.
In terms of vocals p!nk has a raspey voice but jessies irratating whining and screaming voice has started to grate on people
I prefer p!nk
Who do you guys prefer?

People call jessie j poor mans p!nk on ds forums. Thats why i thought of comparing them. Plus the whole its my party sounding the same as raise your glass
Saw her in concert earlier this year- she had a bad cold & hurt her back from the previous night's show & still put on the best concert I've ever been to.
Except that those songs don't sound anything alike at all.
The comparison is strange because they aren't similar. They are just white girls with big voices who make pop songs, but are better suited for different genres.
That being said, I prefer Pink's pop songs, although it depends, prefer both of their ballads equally, and prefer Jessie J's vocal ability. If Jessie wasn't so hellbent on being a traditional popstar for the kids, she'd be a lot better. Her voice is too great for a lot of the music she sings.
I do really like Jessie's new song Thunder though, 100 times better than It's My Party, and P!nk never disappoints - The Truth About Love album campaign has been the best album campaign from a solo female artist since Katy Perry's Teenage Dream, IMHO
As for the topic at hand, I wonder why they are being compared when they aren't very similar at all except for how they both started out in the urban scene. Without counting that, Pink is a pop artist with rock influences and an idgaf attitude that she portrays whereas Jessie is a pop artist with a number of influences from different genres across the board.
Pink started as an RnB artist and has since completely strayed away from that, but Jessie has been a Pop artist infused with an urban sound from the beginning, albeit her new album is a bit more pop than the last.
As for voices, that is a matter of taste. I like Pinks rasp and I love Jessie's range and the things she can do with her voice. Her voice is unique in that it can be molded to fit many different genres. That doesn't seem unique, but not many can do that. I recently just heard a Philly soul remix of domino with the original pitch, phrasing and everything and it still sounded great. Pink is at her best when she sings song that allow her tone to shine through.
They both bring something to music that I think is valuable. Pink has been doing her thing for over a decade and is still going strong. Only time will tell if Jessie can get that far, but I think with a talent like hers she deserves it just as much as Pink.
