True. She's been getting a big boost. A girl on The Voice the second night sang Domino and got a standing O. (she sounded terrible, tbh, but that seems to not matter in the world of tv competitions)

It definitely got the sympathy vote because the girl was bullied. It wasn't terrible, but she doesn't have the power or range for that song. She would have been better singing Adele.

it was a bit strained, misha`s version was much better in comparison. it will be a waste if her record company doesn't capitalise on this situation.

she has a sob story to get her through the lives if she makes it passed the judges houses. they refrained from telling people she was bullied because she is a lesbian so by the time that comes out she should be golden.

oh right, sounds like x factor manipulation. still as long as jessie`s has a temporary boost, its a good thing for her. its a shame that america just don't know how diverse she can be, its one of the stick`s people beat her with in the uk.

I know, I find that hilarious. It doesn't make any sense. People berate P!nk for sounding the same all the time and not being "new", but Jessie has a bit of everything and does it well and she gets blasted for it. I like an artist with diversity. No one listens to just one type of music so why should we expect them to only make one type of music? music used to be about expression, but with all these rules on how it should be, we are losing quality.

Who You Are is nuber 76 on US itunes right now. Higher than Rihanna's Cockiness and P!nk's Blow Me One Last Kiss. Hopefully it keeps rising.

that is pretty impressive considering the show didn't do that well in the ratings and there hasn't been any other promotional push. the record company should send it to radio and get her a performance slot on either the x factor or the voice. it will be a missed opportunity otherwise.

her album was all over the place, but i quite liked it. `who you are` is probably her best song though.

They wont do it, just like they wasted the opportunity to push Casualty Of Love when it entered the charts with no promotion. She's moved on to her second album and I think the US is much more an afterthought tbh. She doesn't really need to be huge here, it's just a topping on the cake. She performed Domino on X-Factor last year and on The Voice last season. She hasn't released anything here other than Price Tag and Domino so the next thing she does will be from her new album.

haha, i think it's good that she is keeping to her word. i like the new color as well, but she could always wear wigs for work. it's just hair. it grows back.

yeah, she may wear wigs, but i heard she hired a new stylist to make her more feminine. so that was a waste of money if true. fair play to her though, for sticking to her word, she could have just continently forgotten about it.

She has had the same hair stylist since she started, she just got a new stylist for her clothes. Poor alisha might be out of a job, though. Maybe she can be her personal head polisher

I'm looking forward to all the cool hairstyles that will be produced from the growing out process.

yeah, to be fair, she is playful with her image and she should be commended for raising money for charity. mostly, i am looking forward to some new music, it cant be long now.

you already know the people crying publicity stunt are all over this. it's whatever. as long as the charity gets the money in order to help people. that's really all that matters. her new album will definitely be out before her tour starts in february so hopefully we will get it before christmas

before christmas would be good, but i don't want her bald on the cover. the new year would be better and she is partial to a new year hit in the uk. she cant win though, i quite agree. she will get slated for the head shave and if she releases the new album around the time of the voice. then she will be milking that too.

The head shave isn't until March 15th. She will be on tour and I think the blind auditions will have already been filmed. So no bald for the cover or the beginning of The Voice.

Getting X Factor US mixed up with The Voice US...same shitty programmes. So Sony benefit all the same...
