Jessie J is sad the UK doesn't celebrate her as one of the greatest singers

[Pete.]

Jessie J is upset that while she is celebrated in the US as one of the greatest singers, she doesn't have that same reputation in her native UK.

The singer was asked by Women's Health about never being asked to perform at the Brit Awards, where she has only been nominated for British Female Solo Artist twice - in 2012 and 2014.

"It makes me sad," Jessie J said.

"I've done the Grammys, the VMAs... my profile in America is that I'm kind of celebrated as one of the greatest singers and I love it."

She added of her ambitions for the future: "I wanna be up there with the Celine Dions, the Whitneys, the Beyoncés and Arethas.

"I go hard because I hope and pray that one day, people look back and go, 'She could really ******ing sing, you know'. Which is why I keep going."

Really good singer, just hasn't released any half decent songs since her first album

[Margarine.]

This woman is so annoying I literally cannot

[Johnnyuk123]

A great vocalist but poor song releases.

[reece(:]

Her bisexuality is too avant garde.

[LaLaLand]

She's SUCH a big head omg

[Mystic Mock]

She needs to go back to her more Urban sound that she had on her first Album.

She's SUCH a big head omg

This is why i dislike her the most!

The only way to silence the critics is by doing her job well, which in her case means continually composing music to a high standard.

Is she doing this?

How many of her songs are timeless classics that will still be played by future generations?

[iRyan]

What a delusional woman. She is far from one of the greatest, personally I don't like her vocal tone.

[Shaun]

Her best contribution to society was writing Party in the U.S.A. When you need Miley Cyrus to sell your talent you're basically worth nothing.

[Gstar]

I sort of gave up on her when she went back to being "straight"

[Crimson Dynamo]

she makes me want to self harm

[LukeB]

I think she's one of those annoying stage school kids that was told they were great when they were 5 and they've never listened to a word of advice since then - just because you're capable of all these vocal acrobatics, doesn't mean you should use them all the time - show some restraint for ****'s sake! She's just the worst. She's right in that if she was an American based act, she'd probably be revered as a Celine Dion type who has loyal fans for her phenomenal voice, but she's not, she's an Essex ladette with a gormless look about her and no amount of shrieking and warbling will endear that **** personality to this country. If she actually put out decent music instead of trend chasing, she'd maybe have some kind of leg to stand on but as it is, she's no better than Rita Ora or Ellie Goulding, just running after the next hit instead of trying to cement herself as a career musician. I hope she fades to a memory, she's a wanker.

Right?! Like, perfect example of showing how someone can ruin their own success - she should tone it down and save the vocal tricks and use them sparingly, everyone knows she can do them, it just becomes so over the top and comical. This video comes up if you search "Jessie J no" as the top result on Google. Says it all really.

:facepalm:

I really didn't like her on The Voice either such a selfish vain woman, I didn't particularly like that guy who was her final contestant but I thought what she did to him was awful when he had to duet with her, totally outsang him and took the best parts of the song instead of being a decent coach/human being and taking a step back and let him have his 5 minutes
