The buzz on Jessie J has reminded me of early Lady GaGa coverage, and we all know how that turned out. The interesting thing about having early exposure to an artist like this is that you can see the evolution of the image and the PR as the date of release gets closer. She’s a natural-born star, and the voice isn’t too bad either, is it?
Having said all of that, I’m not a fan of “Do It Like a Dude.” While the first US single is supposed to be ballad “Who You Are,” the money track for me is “Price Tag,” which she just announced a couple of weeks ago will feature B.o.B on the final version. Anyone hearing any Natasha Bedingfield up in here?
And what the heck…let’s get “Who You Are” up in here as well…
Wow. Do It Like a Dude makes me want to smother her with a bag so nothing that awful could ever be perpetrated on mankind again, and then the other 2 songs were great.
Great voice and stage presence. I’m torn.
I have a feeling her music is going to be worth the occasional misstep. There’s no way this one would fly in the US unless she became massive to the point where anything would sell (like GaGa).
