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).
