Jessie J

CiaranMT

Anybody else looked into her? Lead single off an album due out this year:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOf3kYtwASo

Caught my attention by beating James Blake, an experimental dubstep head, to the Critic's Choice award at the Brits.

It is rather 'poppy', but please try and look past the inevitable similarities/comparisons to Lady GaGa et al. Let's give her a chance, for now

EDIT: If Mods feel this should be appropriated to another forum, feel free.

Orizio

Pretty bleh.

Beating James Blake isn't much of an achievement tbf.

CiaranMT

Not a big dubstep fan, then?

Orizio

James Blake makes minimal dub, not dubstep. And he isn't particularly good at it.

CiaranMT

In your opinion, Orizio.

I happen to think he's rather good at it.

Hugh Cream

either way this is trash,kinda like gaga but not exactly.

He is a Bon Iver rip-off Ciaran, and that's the ****ing end of it. :pac:

Seaneh

This chick is garbage and Blake is REALLY tedious.

They labels would have pushed this single first as not to frighten the masses with actual mental abilities.
Please see video for demo of absurd vocal skills 'Mama knows best'.
Before she was signed or anything..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrNh5a3BW_0

Her song Big White room
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKfzXq1gcG4

The acoustic version of 'Do it like a dude'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAd3ogzmnl4

I been into her since, over a year now... she's written for Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Miley Cirus, Britney Spears.
There is nothing GaGa about her... Justimberlake just labelled her
'the best singer in the world right now'. She is skill, writes all her own material, performing since a kid, She's going to wipe the floor with all of them pop fools. I, cant wait.

I bet she doesn't,I bet she flops.

Mrs Shuttleworth

She's crap. Beyond crap.

As a singer myself, her level of ability is impressive to say the very least.
If you dis-agree with that, its a wild guess to say your a radio listener who perhaps doesn't appreciate vocal ability?
i.e: you dont have to play the guitar to appreciate a great guitar player.
dont say someone is sh*te on the guitar just coz your not over excited about it as an instrument... :cool:

yes but as a package shes not all that,her voice may be good but shes wouldnt be the only singer in the world who has a nice voice but aint actually that good over all.

Did you watch the video of Mama Knows best i linked above?
Beyonce wouldn't even do vocals runs like that...
Anywho... i'll re-visit this in like a year and we'll see who was more correct

Max Power1

Im not a hip-hop fan at all, but I have to say I really like what I've heard so far of Jessie J.

I can understand the Gaga reference, however I would understand that to mean she has a widespread cross over appeal, as opposed to being almost clinically insane and look like a transexual.

Mrs Shuttleworth

Do It Like A Dude/Girl Power 2011 is total utter vile revolting godforsaken awful corporate Spice Girls-esque ****, which rips off Linkin Park's Catalyst, to boot. When I hear it all it brings to mind is Simon Cowell (or whoever) getting banged in the ass by a $1 a hour waiter somewhere deep in the Far East on the back of stupid parents who let their kids buy this ****.

Mama Knows Best, is like a primary school Pixie Lott karaoke competition, even practically nicking the ****ing song title.

At least on Big White Room she openly admits in the lyrics that there's absolutely nothing whatsoever going on upstairs.

Two words spring to mind - Arse and Wipe.

Did she steal your bag of Taytos in the schoolyard when you were younger?

DarkJager

Yeah she's total **** so I'm sure she'll sit just fine alongside the likes of Lady Gaga and the others. As for being around in a year, I give her 6 months before she's forgotten about and the next idol of ****ing **** music rolls around.

I could completely bear this package if it came firmly tongue in cheek a la JEdward or any other bog standard pop hoe. But conferring on it the crown of BBC Sound of 2011??? The station that in the not so ancient past deemed Jacko's "Thriller" and Frankie's "Relax" unsuitable for broadcast? Renton was right - in 1000 years from now, there won't be guys or gals, just ****.

Well it's not Hip-Hop, it's R&B/Pop.

I dunno I think the single is awful, why pick such a bad track to lead with? The hook is cringe-worthy. As for the other vids, she sounds a bit like Joss Stone.

meh

Boom_Bap

Have to agree, the lead single is garbage and way too many effects on her vocals.
But have to admit, she can sing her as$ off judging from the other vidoes sans vocal interference.
It just looks to me with the lead single that she is being pushed in a different direction by label/PR to get her known and to jump on the charts bandwagon.

In responce to earlier comments about her writing for the likes of my girlfriend Aguilera, Miley Cirus etc. This doesnt necessarily mean anything.The same was said about Chritina Milian (my other girlfriend) as she wrote some of J-Lo's, Brittany's, Aguilera's smashes. Although she has had a career, it was not taken to the heights that was originally expected becuase of her CV.

so why the fukk you in here then
for what its worth,jessie j is not hip hop so maybe thats one reason why she appeals to you.

Mrs Shuttleworth

Not being catty for the sake of it. I genuinely find the sound of her singing voice like false nails going down a blackboard.

speedboatchase

This girl wrote the lyrics to Miley Cyrus' 'Party in the USA' - she actually did :eek: Amazing that while people are saying that Nicki Minaj is trying to be a hip hop version of Lady Gaga, we have someone trying to be a mixture of both artists already

What a friendly forum.

Perhaps I shall not darken the virtual doorstep if this is the welcome handed out to outsiders.

So only fans of particular genres may visit certain forums in the Music category? I must get on to the forum moderators so we can get it written into each charter to make sure people don't try to broaden their horizons in future.

Hugh Cream

sorry it just makes no sense to me,why would someone come into a forum that they have no interest in?
and lead off with the words "Im not a hip-hop fan at all"

pardon my views of what makes sense,and what doesnt make sense.:rolleyes:

No need for the rolling eyes. It seems to me you've just decided to take maximum offence from what was no doubt intended as an innocuous comment. If Max Power1 had instead started with "I'm not much of a hip-hop fan but" or "I don't listen to much hip-hop but" would it have upset you so much?

As for why people would come into a forum they've no interest in, well obviously he spotted the thread title and wanted to join in the discussion. Boards.ie is a discussion forum after all.

What gives me the impression you're upset? Perhaps it was this unnecessarily argumentative post, what do you think? You didn't ask a question based on common sense, either you took offense at what was written or you decided to be a smart arse. Either way you displayed an attitude that has no place on this site.

Now, rather than continue to drag this thread off-topic I would respectfully request, now that you have served a ban, that you treat other forum users with a bit more respect.

Feel free to pop over to the Rock & Metal forum some time to say hello .

Hugh Cream

hang on a minute,you chose to reply to my original post nearly two weeks after it was posted,if anyones dragging the conversation off topic its you.
i swear to god,good site in all that this is,nazi germany hasnt got a patch on it.:rolleyes:

Hugh Cream

although i will just add,maybe its just the mods in the hip hop forum that are a bit anal about adhering to the over strict code of conduct.
i cant speak for the whole site.

*Sigh* Okay, looks like I have to explain a few things to you. First off I'm the Category Moderator for the Music section. As a result I receive reported post notifications for all forums in that section. This thread only came to my attention because I received a reported post notification for something you posted. I'm not much of a Hip Hop fan so I don't visit or post in this forum. If it took two weeks for the post to be reported then that's why it took two weeks for my response.

Now, if I'm dragging the thread off-topic it's because I'm trying (in a reasonable way) to tell you to cop on and not be so harsh with someone if they dare to post in the Hip Hop forum without actually being a Hip Hop fan.

As for the Nazi reference, the alternative is for this site to resemble the comments section of the average YouTube video and I don't think anyone wants that. Finally, no discussion forum reference to Nazis would be complete without this .
