Talk:Jessie J

Who You Are

There are no sources on this article claiming this is the name of her debut studio album; removing it. I am aware of the Amazon source; it does not mention it is a studio album, however. "Audio CD" could mean it is a CD single. Yves (talk) 09:37, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Just J?

Her name needs to shortened either "Jessie" or "J." See Lady Gaga and how only "Gaga" is used. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 19:02, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

This seems like a difference case, though, since it's one letter. Since the "J" doesn't seem to stand for anything in "Jessica Ellen Cornish", we can assume this is a stage name (like B.B. King) and not initials (like T. V. Carpio). In this case, I believe we should use the full "Jessie J". Using just the "J" would be quite confusing. [If you want an example, think of a hypothetical sentence like, "After supporting UNICEF, J had...".] Lady Gaga is often known as simply "Gaga", while Jessie J is not known as either "Jessie" or "J". I believe this situation is comparable to that of Karen O or Vitamin C. Yves (talk) 03:19, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Well, Yves's above opinion explains all! Silvergoat (talk∙contrib) 15:34, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

If you want to shorten it i would probably just say "Jessie"? --SATURDAYmight. (talk) 20:51, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

jakobs rite, i mean, is it that hard to say 'jessie j'? r u so lazy to simply use ur voicebox 2 say 'jessie j'? that is her stage name so call her by her stage name! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.182.55.107 (talk) 19:46, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

I just thought it seemed tedious to say "Jessie J released this. Then Jessie J did that. Then Jessie J made a this." But you have a point. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 21:15, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Clearly it doesn't really matter, Jessie J is the name she is under. Leave it as such. Jakob 03:19, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Songwriting

The article said she wrote songs for Rhianna , Christina Aguilera etc. I have removed these as I can find no evidence. Her Sony/ATV publishers page only mentions Miley Cyrus - Party in the USA and Chris Brown - I Need This. Darwin-rover (talk) 01:17, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Do It Like a Dude was meant to be for Rihanna though. And I believe she said in an interview that L.O.V.E. was meant for Christina Aguilera (later for Leone Lewis). So I agree those artists should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.87.105.16 (talk) 16:17, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Price Tag has gone x3 platinum in Austrailia.

Price Tag has also peaked at #3 in Germany.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. If you have reliable sources, please provide them here and change the "answered" tag from "yes" to "no". Qwyrxian (talk) 05:30, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Name

Perhaps the article should read

"Jessica Ellen Cornish (born 27 March 1988), better known by her stage name Jessie J" instead of "Jessie J (born Jessica Ellen Cornish on 27 March 1988)"

The second form implies that Jessie J is her legal name while the first form is standard for most other musicians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bagv (talk • contribs) 08:54, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Confused

< In late 2010, Jessie J released her first single, "Do It Like a Dude" which was wrote by George Astasio, Jason Pebworth, Jon Shave, Kyle Abrahams, Peter Ighile. Originally, she wrote the song with Rihanna in mind >

so: who did write it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.181.115.117 (talk) 12:33, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Random text

This random bit of text popped up under the "discography"-section. I deleted it... that should be fine, right?! "''''more'''' Jessie J is a popular celebrity know mainly for children about 12+ as some of Jessies lyrics contain sexual script or rude language. Apart from that Jessie J is a born singer which everyone cleary enjoys as she won a brit award and hopefully will win another few in the future." Wiki934 (talk) 18:08, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Born in Ilford not Romford

Early life

wrong: // Jessie J was born Jessica Ellen Cornish in Romford, Essex and was educated at Mayfield High School in the London Borough of Redbridge.

Jessie J was born Jessica Ellen Cornish at King George Hospital in Barley Lane, Ilford, Goodmayes and grew up in Romford, Essex and was educated at Mayfield High School in Pedley Road, Dagenham, Goodmayes from 2002 to 2006.

Jessie J and Leona Lewis both went to the BRIT school but were not in the same graduating class. Leona left at 17 without graduating (in 2002) and is three years older than Jessie and Adele.

This template is for requesting specific edits to the page, if you want to be able to edit it yourself you need to create an account (it requires no personal info and only takes 30 seconds), then become autoconfirmed or confirmed--Jac16888 ^Talk 13:21, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Nationality/Citizenship

Is Jessie J's nationality stated officially as British (citizen the United Kingdom) or English (citizen of England; a constituent countries of the United Kingdom) ? I don't think there is an English citizenship. This is starting to annoy me now, on multiple articles. Jrobin08 (talk) 18:49, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

WP:UKNATIONALS English is a nationality and nationality is no way defined just be citizenship. Same with Welsh, Scottish and Nirish,--Τασουλα (talk) 14:41, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Inaccuracies w/ personal life/sexuality--

"Jessie J is openly bisexual and stated in an interview on the "In Demand" radio show on 3 March 2011, "I've never denied it. Whoopie doo guys, yes, I've dated girls and I've dated boys – get over it."[38][39] However, in April 2012, she denied this claim via her official Twitter account calling it a "yet another boring untrue story".[40] According to the Guardian, Jessie J's sexuality is valuable to young teens, especially for young girls unsure of themselves because of their sexuality and identity, to feel "that this does happen and this is normal."[41] she is not a lesbian ok get over it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The second sentence ('However...') suggests that Jessie J has denied she is bisexual, which isn't the case. Actually, it was claimed that she was a lesbian (for example, here, which she denied- see http://www.twitlonger.com/show/h2288a for the exact message.

So... please just get rid of it, and its accompanying reference? Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.23.250.13 (talk) 19:34, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

This issue appears to be resolved. The wording was changed to: "However, in April 2012 The Sun outed her as lesbian which she denied via Twitter, calling it a 'yet another boring untrue story'." I changed the word homosexual to lesbian, because I feel that's more accurate. The article on Lesbianism says the word means, "characterized by others as having the primary attribute of female homosexuality" which I feel is slightly more accurate. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 20:55, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Physician -> Doctor

The personal life section talks about advice from her 'physician', but as she's English she'd have a 'doctor', not a 'physician'. Not sure what policy is on this but it seems wrong to me. Suggest changing. Wookey (talk) 22:00, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey there! Please try to post new messages at the bottom of talk pages. At any rate, the source for that information uses the word "doctor" over physician. On the wiki, medical doctor redirects to physician, while doctor seems to refer to any person with a doctorate. I'll change the word physician to doctor in the article and link to physician. Since the topic is about a person from the UK, it's proper etiquette to write the article with that dialect in mind. I'm not aware whether physician or doctor is more correct colloquially in the UK, but I'll make the change for the above reasoning. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 22:14, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Middle name

The middle name of "Ellen" has been removed. While this may be her real middle name, I was unable to locate a reliable source stating her middle name as such. An edit war seems to have occurred between someone who contested the middle name, so I looked it up and removed it when I couldn't locate sources. Please help me locate a source which confirms that. EDIT: Also, the "Artistry and voice" section should give information about her vocal range. I've read rumors and informal critiques that call her a mezzo-soprano. Any reliable confirmation would be much appreciated and would seriously boost the article up. :D --Thevampireashlee (talk) 00:02, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Artistry and Voice

We all think Jessie's vocal range must be written on this page. There are many critics who had called her a soprano while others a mezzo-soprano, such as Frank Richardson from Metacritic, so we can conclude she's the latter 'cause of this is a well known music critic along many years.JD3rulo (talk) 03:46, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Pictures on Wikimedia

We all agree that someone should place current pictures of the singer, with her brand blonde new hear, singing in several shows she has peformed all these months.JD3rulo (talk) 03:46, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Minor Fix

Above the Personal Life section is "Together, they performed "I Gotta Feeling", a song she previously recorded with the other four coaches of the televised singing competition, The Voice . After, Jessie J sang her international hit, "Domino".[51] In July 2012, the title of Jessie J's second studio album was revealed to be Heaven."

Someone delete the space before the period in "singing competition, The Voice ." please — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.110.152.116 (talk) 14:49, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Wrong

On 12 August 2012 she performed "Price Tag", "Written in the Stars", "Dynamite, and "You Should Be Dancing" with Tinie Tempah and Taio Cruz, and "We Will Rock You" with Queen at the Closing Ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games.

Should be: At the London 2012 Olympic Games, Jessie J was invited to perform, where she sung her hit Price tag before guesting on Written in the stars with Tinie Tempah. She then teamed up with Tempah and Taio Cruz to sing a cover of the Bee Gee's You should be dancing. Later in the ceremony she dueted with Queen on We Will rock you.

Pitch Error

She doesn't hit a G♯5 in "Band Bang", but rather a G5. The clip posted has been shifted up a semitone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.148.219.77 (talk) 07:21, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Artistry and voice

I removed the remnants of a copyright violation from Commons, a statement attributed to nobody and using a YouTube clip as a "reference", and the opinion of 2 random "internet critics", partially unsourced, concerning vocal range. I also question the need for the 2 audio clips that remain as fair use.

I get that folks would like to say "Jessie has this outstanding vocal range" and classify it as "soprano" or similar, but it really makes an unprofessional mess when that's done by stuffing in and cherrypicking "anything that can be googled to support it". We should be reporting what reliable sources say, in in-depth coverage, not grasping at anything that can be found on the internet that vaguely supports a desired POV, then weaving it into a statement we'd like to see here.

Jessie's an awesome singer, I'm a big fan, but if we want to make points like this let's do it with proper sourcing, if we can find any.

JD3rulo, I'm looking at you, mainly, here... This was all discussed already, on this talk page, my talk page, your talk page, and all the other editors' talkpages you raised it on. Begoon ^talk 20:03, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
