Enter Jessie J. The British-bred singer-songwriter first made a name for herself on Youtube where she notched up millions of views, before being snapped up by Universal Music in the US.
An ‘artist’ in every sense of the word, J’s most notable writing credit is the one Miley Cyrus song we’re ‘allowed’ to like, ‘Party In The USA’. Interestingly, the song was meant to be J’s Stateside debut (lyrically addressing her move from the UK to US). However she instead decided to give the song to Cyrus – who went on to have a major hit with it. A potentially great move, if J’s new single is anything to go by.
The hard-hitting ‘Do It Like A Dude’ has been confirmed to be J’s first official release. Take a listen to the track, which premièred today, below…
Via Punch Bowl:
Audio-fire!
With its pulsating production (a Rock, Hip-Hop, and Pop fusion), the song goes hard! My initial worries about the busy production stripping her vocals of their trademark rawness, quickly evaporated – with all components of the track (beat, vocal delivery, and whatnot) meshing together well to serve up a hit-in-waiting. Talk about a home-run on first swing!

YES FINALLY! I’ve been following Jessie J for a minute now, ever since I saw that incredible video of her singing on youtube. And this song goes hard! I hope she gets the recognition she deserves though because she’s a fucking beast and she’s one to watch!

Never heard of her until now but it`s pretty obvious she talented. Party in the USA was huge hit. I like the song and like that reggae vibe on it too.

The beat is FUCKING SICK! But I’m not too fond of the vocals (it’s not that she’s bad, it’s just that I’m not feeling her, but maybe I might change my mind when I see her perform live). Although this song >>>>>>>>>> anything Nicki GARBaj has ever done.
@ Nicky:
* In my best impression of your ignorant ass *
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! HOW DOES IT FEEL THAT THIS SONG IS BETTER THAN ANYTHING RIYODEL HAS PUT OUT AS OF LATE? HOW DOES IT FEEL THAT SHE’S GONNA SNATCH TRANNY MCDONALD’S WIG!!! * TURNS UP “DO IT LIKE A DUDE” *
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!! STAY MAD!!!!!

the song is too autotunned and the beat is too heavy it drowns her vocals out.

JESSIE J IS THE SH*T.. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING HER FOR A WHILE AND THE FACT SHE IS ABLE TO SING A SONG LIKE THIS & A SONG LIKE “MAMA KNOWS BEST” SHOWS THAT THIS GIRL AIN’T PLAYING… SHE’S DELIVERING ON A CLUB LEVEL AND CAPABLE OF BEING COMPARED TO NICKI AND RIHANNA ON A PAR WITH THEM AFTER THEY HAVE SPENT YEARS OF CONVINCING PEEPS THEY ARE GOOD… IS ACTUALLY I AM SURE A COMPLIMENT (ALTHOUGH JESSIE IS BETTER).. SHE’S ALSO DELIVERING ON A SOULFUL LEVEL (CHECK OUT HER MYSPACE FOR CASUALTY OF LOVE) AND TO TOP IT OFF I HAVEN’T HEARD ANYONE IN YEARS SING LIKE SHE DOES ON “MAMA KNOWS BEST” & “BIG WHITE ROOM”… SHE HAS DIVERSITY WHICH I LOVE..
THEN HER LOOK IS SICK… SHE SEEMS TOTALLY RAW AND UNAFFECTED BY SOCIETY AND RIHANNA WHOEVER THEY ALL LOOK AFFECTED…
JESSIE IS SINGING ABOUT “B.I.T.C.H’S ON HER DI*K”… TELL ME A RI RI OR A NICKY TUNE FOR THAT MATTER THAT’S SO REAL??? ANY CHICK THAT IS GIVING IT THAT HARD IS AN ASPIRATION TO WOMEN..
YOU THE SH1T MISS J … YOU GOT A FAN IN ME FOR LIFE…

I just youtubed his chick and her voice is annoying! It seems like she’s all attitude but no vocal control. Her voice is all over the place. She has a big voice and thinks she knows what she’s doing with it, but she’s doing it all wrong. She definitely needs vocal lessons. She can sing, but needs LOTS OF HELP! She’s yelling way too much. This song is iight, but it does sound like something Rihanna would do. Her image also needs help and her personality seems very ghetto and yes anybody from any country can act the slang term, ghetto especially if they’re really into being hard and hip-hop.

Seen this chick on you tube…she is definitely a BEAST. She reminds me of Fantastia and Xtina, so even though some are saying it’s autotuned crap ( which it is autotuned out of this world) when she sings without the help she is RIDICULOUS!!

The music industry is full of fakes people like rhianna making themselves into something to fit the criteria of the world today and what people expect them to be. People like jason derulo hiding behind the autotune (although this track is autotuned, watch her youtube in no way does she need it) because when they sing live they are really not all they seem to be. Jessie is jessie and you love her or hate her. Her personality shines through on her yotube videos and through her music. She isn’t pretending she isn’t putting on her act her lyrics are true her voice is incredibly individual and she has fun! this puts her above and rhianna and other people she has been compared to on here. if people are already critising her voice and personality you have been sucked into the dark, gloomy and very fake world that is called the music industy and it sucks if your going to compare jessie to anyone compare her to chakka khan, stevie wonder the people who did their tracks in one take didn’t have effects on their voice because those are the people who are real…just like jessie well done for bringing the music industy back to reality!!!
