Agree with all of that. Misha's last performance on the show was one of the highlights of the series.
Misha starting off with that rap before going on to kill it witht Jesse's song was TV Gold. I certainly won't be watching the Xfactor final on Saturday as everyone left is so lacklustre which means it is going to be dull.

Jessie j didn't have to go on the x factor though in the first place to become a success did she in my mind it goes to show who's the better artist
Jesse obviously had more opportunities to get into the music business than Misha so it doesn't how or which route was used to achieve success. The fact remains that Jesse J got owned on a song she wrote but obviously can not sing well.

To be fair, at the VMAs Jessie J "stole" Firework from Katy Perry. So what goes around, comes around, and all that. (This really is a silly topic!)

Katy Perry is generally acknowledged by most to be a weak singer. She gets by on looks, presence and an engaging personality. Any good singer could and should be able to sing a Katy Perry song better than Katy herself. It's absolutely no big deal.

Jessie J has been hyped for the past year as a powerhouse vocalist, one of the premiere UK/international vocal talents of her generation etc etc. So good, that we shouldn't question her acting as the UK equivalent to X-Tina as a judge on "The Voice".

I'd say Jessie's vocal talents/limitations being shown up by Misha B, have a more significant effect on her reputation, than Katy Perry being made to look like a weak singer (which isn't news to anyone). Jessie J is supposed to be good enough a vocalist for something like this not to happen. It is embarrasing for her.

Not 'that' interested either way - stage school / hyped up Major label / Music Media artist as compared to a karaoke singer on a over-hyped T.V. show - not my type of thing thank you very much.

The album version of Jessie J's version is still the best version. With that said, she keeps butchering the song whenever she sings it live. Her oversinging is nothing but showing off and it culminated in the worst performance so far when she appeared on X Factor. I'm no Misha fan but she sings the song live better than Jessie ever has. Both times she outsang her.

the fact is Jessie sings and wrote a song perfectly well and worked her backside off to get into the music business and din't need to act like a diva whilst taking the easy route Maybe when Misha releases the biggest debut of the year cracks America and the world i'll say she owned Jessi its ridiculous to even compare someone off the x factor to someone who worked to get where they are and it think just owned you oh yeah

Jessie J has hardly 'cracked' America love...lol

Misha is just 19, give her time. Besides this is not a 'stan war' thread so don't turn it into one. The facts are that Misha owned Jessie on her own song and Jessie has as much admitted that herself.

Jessie J is a stage school brat. She comes from The Brit School.

You go to The Brit School, your path into the music industry is generally piss easy. It's like a factory/finishing school for the UK music industry. Half the new popstars we get every year come from there.

Misha B didn't have any fancy industry connected stage school to get a leg up in the industry. She's probably done a lot more "grafting" (ie busking, gigging) than Jessie J had to, to get to this stage.

The best singers from X-Factor often work years trying to break the industry, but don't get the opportunities handed to them on a plate like Jessie J. Misha hasn't got the right look, isn't the right colour, and is not a Brit school graduate. Frankly, X-Factor is probably the only way she could have broken into the industry....and it has nothing to do with talent or hard work. It's who you know and what you look like (which is how Jessie J is where she is).

I just thought it was funny the song has been performed THREE TIMES on the X Factor live shows this year. Its a horrible song. But I agree, it does sound a lot better when its performed by Mischa. Then again I don't think there's many people who would sound worse on it than Jessie J.

If you're not interested; then why are you here.

Your saying it's difficult because she's black look at the top forty many races and colours there do not ever play the race card it is low, And the brit school is like a uni you graduate and toddle off with your degree and graft your way up as in any other career and the point is if these x factor people having been trying so hard for so long their obviously not good enough in the first place and half the new popstars come from there every year this year jessie j and katy b thats two and they are in their twenties which means they left the brits school quite some time ago they didnt graduate and get a contract the had to graft hereas misha will get 1 instantly for singing kareoke on the x factor and your also saying that only if yove been to the brit school or x factor you can not be successful have you looked at the top forty or listened to Radio

black female is what he means. alexandra won cause she had the image, personality and pipes. for me misha has all 3, but for most she's only got the pipes (and people still diss her for that). there's only one black female in the industry ATM. and emeli sande isn't black but is the only up and coming non-white female with potential and chart success. and adele went from brit school to top of the charts within months (thanks to reggie yates oddly). and if you saw misha anywhere you'd sign her, in all the years on the show, we've NEVER had anyone perform like her, take control of her styling and track arrangement...she was like a guest performer i.e. week one especially. there are hardly any black females in the Uk industry. (popstars, I mean). and at the brit school you learn how to sing, perform and write songs; you're given an education in being a popstar. yes jessie had to graft but there's no way into the industry nowadays. take alexandra and leona for example; tried for years to break the industry, the two best female vocalists we've got, a stunning mezzo and a stunning contralto, sent out demos but nothing back. for many the x factor is a last solution. now you need the contacts, and ordinary girls and guys don't have that.

No, but right after Misha B performed it, it rocketed up the charts into Top 3.

(After Jessie J's performance a few weeks ago, it only managed a peak of #6.)
surely if people liked misha`s version more than jessie`s. then they would just purchase misha`s track, not the original song. the single entered the top 10 after jessie`s perform two sundays ago.

I've almost imagined 'Who You Are' to be one of those songs where, whomever sings it instantly sounds awful. It's just a badly written song with puddle-deep references to some plasticky imitation of something like emotion.

i think thats what happened. covers on a tv show count towards jessie's chart position. misha can't chart on her own as i dont think they (syco) have the rights to sell the song as misha's own on the charts. so it'll count towards jessie's sales. but alexandra sung listen and it made people buy beyonce's version and it charted higher than its original peak. we've got no way of knowing who bought what. i bought her rolling in the deep cover a few weeks back and it must have charted as adele and not misha b.

that cant be true. ^ adele`s `make you feel my love` was a cover. by that logic, bob dylan`s original would have got the boost, when rebecca`s download came out.

no i mean covers by x factor contestants of an artists song. they were all singing adele's version. and at bootcamp their versions, which would have counted as adele's on the singles chart, weren't available to download. only the finalists get that. thats what my friend told me, as we both were wondering how it works. that's my guess. its probably shady anyway, these syco and talkbackthames things are.

yes and that is why i mentioned rebecca`s track. there is no way that the x factor downloads get added to the original artists sales. the charts don't work like that.

adele suggested that bob dylan would profit greatly from her cover.

Its like when Drake released Marvins Room and then JoJo's Cover of it OWNED and everyone hailed hers as the better version.

Mischa B sang the song amazingly and in a way that you can sing along to it too.. not like 458723094820 key changes in one note like Jessie tends to do.

None of the Xfactors contestants songs make the chart. If that were the case the public would be able to know first hand which of the contestants had the ability to sell records and the competition would be pointless.

i am aware of that and that is not what i am saying. what i said was clear. if people preferred misha`s version then they would buy her track. people are not buying jessie`s original because they prefer misha`s version. why would they do that, when misha`s version is available?
