Jessie J - her personality off-putting to anyone else?
Shadow2009
02-06-2014
So some guy on another music forum posts videos from Jessie's Instagram daily and the things she says about herself are so cringeworthy!

Quote:
“I don't know how to be famous. People tell me you're so confident, you're so perfect and I'm not....”

Quote:
“"and people say I mime"”

(has anyone ever said that? or is she just bragging about how well she can sing?)

“#jessiejalbum3 #jessiejrecordingdiary #jessiejbehindthemic I wanted to show you what I am like before the polished videos and mixes and masters. This is the bit most of the time you don't get to see of me, even though this is where I work the hardest before promo and release. I put my phone on when I'm recording and forget it's there to capture myself at my most realist. Because when I know a camera is there even if I try I know I am aware and I don't relax. It's always a little showier than the real real of the real. How much I self criticise (constructively) in the studio to improve. How silly I am, how pissed off I can get when I can't get the notes. How I don't bother wearing makeup. How much I swear, uh huh it's ALOT! Yep! My hay-fever trying to be a flipping feature on every song. How much I frown. How hot and sweaty and stressed I get. How much I love what I do. How important it is to me for everything to be clean and clear and well executed. How I coach myself. How I don't use tuning so I challenge myself. How I practice between takes. How much I can get it wrong. It's all part of a real process of making music or anything creative. It's about self improvement and self reflection. I love to sing. But that isn't enough. Making it your living is a different game. So I this time to focus on making sure the core of it all the music is where I want it to be and how I want it to feel and sound. I love making music and not a day goes by that I don't think about how thankful I am to my heartbeats/fans for this opportunity. Nothing is ever promised. I have to work hard for this, nothing should be handed on a golden platter. And you can't get comfortable, EVER! It's about me understanding and managing my expectations and being BETTER always and just simply being MYSELF! ✌️❤️”

I mean where do you start with stuff like this? She said she isn't aware of cameras yet she filmed herself singing and stared into the camera a bunch of times in the videos she attached (http://instagram.com/p/nVY2DIQ0Rx/)

Plus she always yaps on about how her shaving her head raised so much money for Comic Relief like she forgot that it wasn't JUST her shaving her head! Also she's always talking about keeping it real and she says she doesn't like fans asking her for pictures or autographs because she's "just a real person", always gives speeches during concerts about how normal and down to earth she is and when she does finally shut up and sing, she's over singing and making strange noises and acting like a diva!

I want to like her music but everytime I hear her I'm reminded of her awful personality.

My cousin worked as her personal assistant and found her pretty full of herself

Yes omg she is so self absorbed, and not in a fun diva Mariah Carey way, she is seriously obsessed with herself and believes she is this inspirational figure who is helping the world! It's ironic how she is constantly trying to make out how real and genuine she is but she just makes herself seem even more self obsessed. But it doesn't put me off her music, it's the declining quality in her music that does that by itself.

Oh good, god I completely agree and reading all of that has just made me find her even more irritating. The way she goes on, anyone would think she was making incredible music and albums. She was extremely annoying on The Voice, in particular when contestants would sing and then she'd say "Look, I think you should pick me. I know what it's like to be a female so we can really relate, and I'm the onyl female on this panel surrounded by men so I know how difficult it can be". It's 2014 for god sake. Women have jobs, women have rights. Who on earth does she think she is? Can't stand the woman. Before she was signed and releasing music, I used to watch her you tube videos. Her music was very good and not the rubbish she releases now. I always had a feeling when watching her on you tube that she might be a bit up herself, but my god, once she got signed and was releasing music and doing interviews her personality really shone through and it's not nice at all. You have to wonder what sort of management some of these artists have advising them....someone should have advised her to stick to singing instead of doing things like The Voice as she just doesn't have the personality for it. It's the same with Alexandra Burke...absolutely incredible voice but whoever advised her to go and be a judge on X Factor should have been fired...she just didn't have the personlity for it. And there's nothing wrong with that. These people are singers and should stick to that. There's a reason you don't see people like Beyonce judging on these shows and I suspect they know it will open them up too much and show too much of their personality. Anyway, back to Jessie J...yes, she's annoying as hell.

The way she treated her "coming out" was shocking. She had a girlfriend apparently, the media "outed" her a lesbian, she said she was bi, then she said she was straight and then said sexuality was a choice!

And I just remembered her song 'Who's Laughing Now'. She actually WROTE these lyrics about herself - "omg babe your voice is like wow". Did she ever get bullied? As far as I know she was at the Brit school so why did she suddenly write a song about bullies and haters? Just an excuse to sell records and give herself compliments?

Not going to comment on her personality, because I don't pay much attention to her to know. I do like her music though. But the bit in bold, I'm not sure of your point? Are you saying she couldn't have got bullied at that school? Why not?

Never mind. After checking Google, she did indeed get bullied at primary school. My bad.

Its a shame I think she is very talented but her over the top attitude and personality does irritate. She needs a PR Makeover

The voice hindered her career. Her personality is so annoying and her constant screeching. No wonder she isnt doing very well these days

I think she is annoying and really very arrogant. I thought she was really bad with the whole Calvin Harris thing, announcing that one of his songs would be on her album, then later declaring that she rejected it because it wasn't good enough. Very unprofessional.

I think she's a horrendous singer or should I say shouter with an awful personality.

Personality aside, she's a horrendous singer. She seems to feel the need to constantly do these vocal gymnastics on every performance. Before she hit the big time I saw her with a friend performing in a nightclub and my god...one of the songs ended up carrying on for a whole 3 minutes longer than it should have because she doen thsi extended adlib/vocal gymnastics thign which was just awful and so cringy.

I can't stand her. I don't know much about her personality apart from what I've read on here but she's an absolutely horrendous singer. Why does she have to screech all the time? It does my head in. I hate the way she's hyped up as though she was the second coming of pop music when her music isn't all that good. When I first heard her song Price Tag I thought it was Natasha Bedingfield with slightly different music. Her albums are awful as well. I listened to both of them and I thought they were rather bland and generic. I just don't get the appeal of her at all.

I don't mind her. Her personality can be a bit jarring at times, but she tends to keep herself to herself the majority of the time. I think she gets a bit of a rough ride from a lot of people. I'm not overly fond of her songs, but I think she's got a fantastic voice, although over/misused quite often.

Keeps herself to herself?!! She's constantly shoving her opinions down everyone's throats and telling us all how "real" she is at every chance she gets!

She's brilliant.
I love her voice, I love her attitude.
She can be extremely annoying, especially with the constant vocal gymnastics, but she mostly comes across as a normal, down to earth person.
I feel like people mistake her confidence for arrogance - you can't be dull in the music industry because you'll get nowhere.

She came across as full of herself on the Voice as many posters have said! You'd swear she was in the business 25 years the way she went on! She only had one album released when she was on season 1.
I remember some male contestant said to her "Price tag one of the best songs of the last 10 years.!" It's such an average song IMO! The only song i like by her is "laser light" but even that is a generic EDM that Katy Perry or any pop star could have sang!!
The way Jessie J was on the Voice, you'd swear she was Joni Mitchell!

I was watching that thing about Gibraltar and it was their first festival ever and she was the main act. She came in her own private jet and just stayed in the hotel. Then she had the audacity to wave at everyone from the balcony. It's like who does she think she is the queen? There was also a supporting band that was keen to meet her but don't think they even got a hello from her.
