Some girl just sang Who You Are on X-Factor and people are bombarding Jessie videos and she was trending on twitter. It's about time. Her label should have released the same singles in the US as the UK instead of just Price Tag and Domino. I've been a Jessie fan from the beginning and no one cared because she isn't a big name, but this is just the kind of exposure she needed. Who You Are is a song pretty much everyone can relate to, so it is good she is finally getting heard on a massive scale for what she can do instead of just Price Tag and Domino.
Jessie J is blowing up in the US right now.

Her second album will contain pretty much songs like Domino. It will nothing like her first. But Who Are You is a great song.
Price Tag finished in the 100 biggest songs of 2011 in the US, and Domino will do likewize for 2012, so I'd say those songs were big hits and well-known there already.
I agree, I don't like the new direction Jessie has gone in with Domino and LaserLight. I hope she goes back to her more urban and acoustic songs, because I really liked those, but Domino and LaserLight are just the same as what everybody else is releasing tbh.
Who You Are is currently just outside the iTunes top 100 in the US.

She has only had those two singles here and she is completely underrated. How you guys have an overload of Jessie in the UK, she is almost nonexistent here except for those of us who have been fans for quite a while and the people who checked her out passed Price Tag and Domino.

From what she has been saying about it, that might be the opposite. I think this album will be very ballad heavy. She said she wanted to make an acoustic album, but it might not be. She wants to start acoustic and build from there. Hopefully it's good. I do hope that bieber isn't on it, though. I know they are both in the same place and she went out with his body guard. Bieber irritates me for some reason. Ed Sheeran is almost definitely on the album, though.

Sigh. I wanted to write that.

Price Tag was catchy , Domino was a generic Katy Perry track , as far as I'm concerned she really caught a bit of good luck with the Price Tag song everything else has been blah !
I have always known that her awful voice was a weapon of mass destruction.
Where's Jack Baur when you need him?

the song `who you are` has had a temporary boost on us itunes, sitting at #82 at the moment. not bad at all really and she probably should have issued more singles there.

Definitely. I wonder why they only chose two. She should have made Casualty Of Love a single after it charted on the RnB chart without being officially released. Abracadabra would have done great here as well.

It's subtle promotion by Universal - get contestants to sing a song by an artist that is signed to you.

The contract isn't with Universal. It's with Epic which is owned by Sony, although, she does have a writing contract with Sony/ATV. Simon is supposedly mad at her(I don't really believe that) and L.A. Reid is still pissed at her for not signing to Def Jam a few years ago.

why is that? if you ask me simon watched the tapes back from last year`s uk x factor. that song was performed twice by misha b and once by jessie during the live shows. it wouldn't surprise me if producers asked contestants to perform the song. still its good news for jessie.
..Yeah and they'll do to her exactly what they did to Leona Lewis and Cheryl you know who, chew them up and spit them out, the only female artist in the last decade who could have had staying power in America is now dead.

There was this big thing about him being angry that she slagged on X-Factor after she started The Voice. I don't believe it because she said the exact same things when she performed and when she did the judges house. She said, she would never be a judge on the show because she doesn't agree with how they treat people and laugh at people, but she would do the judges house because then it's all about the talent and mentoring. I don't see how he could get mad at her saying it after when she said it before and he had no qualms. I think it was the media trying to stir up drama. Supposedly he has banned her for life. I doubt it.

who knows. its difficult to know what to believe. like you said, the media like to stir drama and if he had banned her. then it is unlikely he would have allowed one of her songs to be part of an audition on the first show televised.
