A Week in Concert with Jessie J

    Thought we would take a close look at the amazing voice and charisma of Jessie J in concert this week! Her three performances for the week spread across Europe. The first at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.There was another at Warwick Castle and the final performance was at the FIB festival at Benicassim Spain. The better quality footage comes from the Spain show but if I had to make a choice between the three as which was the better performance I would say Montreux!

Who You Are 

Never Too Much / Abracadabra 

      The Warwick Castle show was very entertaining and had a lot of crowd/fan contact and chat. Which I enjoy immensly. It had alot of interesting and memorable moments. One being a verse of the first song Jess ever wrote at the age of nine. There was also a guest appearance by Team Jessie Voice contestant Becky Hill, who Jess spotted in the crowd and asked up on stage to perform Price Tag with her. There was plenty of objects being thrown on stage including notes and a hat which Jess asked if the girl had clean hair before placing it on her own head. There was plenty of chat between Jess and fans in the front including a happy birthday singalong to Jamahl with an amusing flashback to Jessie's 15th birthday celebrations. I love the voice warmups as well for her fans. Abslolutely love the way this lady gets everyone involved band members,crowd, security,support acts whether it be in voice warmups,singalongs or chatting she is one unique entertainer.  A cameraman also got a very close up shot of Jess before she realized he was there and crossed her legs. I suppose you got a take your opportunity .She then went on to explain.That she had only just arrived from Switzerland and had'nt  time to soundcheck! Overall such a fun entertaining show. Loved it!

The Warm Up

   The Spain concert was an awesome show with plenty of unique moments. Her Climax cover was one of the highlights and of course a ripper version of Who You Are, she was really feeling it here. Its hard to say if  Montreux or this version was better, both were amazing. Her speech in Montreux was so spot on but musically Spain was perfection . I have to say Laserlight is really growing on me . When she performs it live,she really sparks it up and it sounds so much better without the Guetta influence.I love her fingers to her lips at the end of the line. Who needs words when forever is in the silence! I have to mention something else and that is she was using the F.. word in this show. I am wondering if it was'nt a age limited show.

Nobody's Perfect

   Now to my favorite show of the week Montreux. The crowd were really pumped on her entry with Do It Like A Dude and she did'nt let them down. Woohoo!Love the shorts Jess! You look hotter than the fires of hell! I also noticed she seemed to be channeling Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz with her Red Shoe look this week! Fun chat before and after songs here to and talking about Will I Am and her idea of getting a hologram microphone stand because hers is so boring!Now that would be something! Love it! Great idea! Then she sings another super version of Climax.
        She was really getting the jazz feeling going at the Jazz festival with a super version of Mama Knows Best and great crowd interaction on all songs including a fun band introduction piece with crowd interaction! Her and the band are really becoming so connected and I think this is why the shows have been so rocking of late! They have a super rapport!  Love her two backup singers!They are excellent ! There were so many super performances here. Its hard to separate . Domino the closing number had so much going on with Jess down amongst the crowd and there was a great performance of my favorite Jess song Casualty of Love. I would have included that clip here but the Never Too Much/Abracadabra clip is better quality so we will have to go with that one and the Who You Are clip. I am going to include two clips for this the one with the speech because of the awesome quality and then the full Who You Are performance.

Jessie J Treasure Hunting

    I thought we might look at some of the treasures I have found this week on the Jessica Cornish adventure! Its amazing what you can find if you search the net! I think my favorite would be the Knock on Wood cover she did in Memphis last year! There is also Mothers Ballad done for the Don't Trigger campaigne back when she was signed to gut records in 2007 . She also did one of her own compositions titled The Long Goodbye but have yet to track down a clear, full version. Then in Istanbul on her European tour  this week she did a cover of  Usher's Climax. I am really keen at hearing a studio version of this because this fan recorded concert version sounds super so imagine what a professionally recorded version will sound like. I can't wait!

   Our final two clips are from the same concert back in 2008. They are Finders Keepers and Sexy Silk both Jessica Cornish written songs! She is one wild chicky babe ! I just love it when she let's go like at the end of Knock On Wood and during these two live recordings!  Will you be my medicine man put your hand on my chest,feel the bump! bump! bump! bump!

Best of Jessie J Live

     This week I thought we might check out some interesting live clips of Jessie J. We will start with her Adelaide concert and Price Tag featuring a number of Jessie J's and Professor Green while sending out a big I F..king love you to a fan in the audience . Our second is her Mama Knows Best entrance from her New York show. I had seen the front on clip a while back but this clip shot from stage entrance gives a new perspective on her appearance and crowd reaction.

     Our third clip is from Hoxton Bar and Grill back in November of 2010. Where her first single Do It Like A Dude was just about to be released. I love this clip, for the facial expressions which are just magic! While the chat about Party in The USA at the end is quite amusing!

    Some other excellent clips I thought we might look back at are her performance at the Teenage Cancer Trust of My Shadow. A song she does'nt perform live that much! While at the Mobo Awards she did Do It Like A Dude with a Jessie J look alike dancer.

    Another one of  my favorite live clips is Domino from the Roxy Theatre in LA. Where she had to call for security because there were too many people on stage climbing all over her and for the finish this week I thought with all the acoustic versions of Nobody's Perfect. I would post my favorite! Hope everyone enjoys this look back on the magic of Jessica Cornish.

A Week of Awards and Radio Interviews!

     During the week  Jessie J was awarded the solo artist of the year award at the Glamour Awards . This added to last years best newcomer Glamour Award. Which gave her the double glamour dot com forward slash boom.There to present the award was her UK Voice fellow coach and crazy cat , Mr Dope himself Will I Am. Any signs of rivalry or friction were nowhere to be seen as in the interview they both came across as they were very good friends and Will even let slip that they BBM each other. I think there maybe a secret admiration between these two! You just have to watch the body language on the voice between them from the start of the show. There has always been a fiery attraction going on.  

   Really I don't think you can believe anything that's printed in them papers,they just print whatever sells. I never believed any of it anyway I always believe what I see rather than what the press sees!

 Glamour Awards Interview Jessie J and Will I Am

This week has also seen numerous radio interviews leading up to the final of the Voice on Saturday so thought we would put some of them up as I am always interested in what the lovely Jessica Cornish has to say!First up though we will check out the best Jessie J moments from the Semi Final.
