Vocal Coach Reacts to Jesy Nelson 'Bad Thing'

[@qffaffafaffrafrfraf]

This should have been her debut, she's a serious talent and she is so much better than what she showed in Boyz

[@leonardolucasrs]

but she'll probably need songs like Boyz to be noticed on radio and charts, unfortunately

[@visualhatefvck]

i find this so weird cuz she had CLEARLy so much fun with Boyz, she was SO hyped with her debut single and ppl just started to get on this hate train... also the honest vocal coach. WE were the problem. Hating someone having a blast! And the song itself wasn't a bad one at all... it was fun. She had fun. We were so busy hating... it's just stupid tbh But it's our modern cancel-culture world.... "Oh God you didn't like her debut single?" - "We hate the hell out of this poor girl!!!" 😂 so stupid really and i'm not even a fan, only know like two songs from this band Little mix.

[@kittygumdrop7442]

Difference between label release and independent release I think.

[@Iputawholebagofjellybeansupmy]

I think it’s good that she released Boyz first because it lets her become more versatile with styles along with just getting that era over with

[@dh9892x]

Just wanna say this song is about her mum and dad. It’s showing how abusive relationships really are and she does it perfectly and beautifully. She worked closely with women’s aid for this song release bc it means so much to her! Thanks for ur review💗

[@leifmortensen895]

She's found her special voice from when she sung ballads in Little Mix and shes good at it - brilliant song - welcome back Jesy.

[@kn1gh7w0lf7]

Bad Things surprise me.Our girl is coming back. After the disaster of Boyz,this song made see the talent that all of us know that she always have.

[@JTScott1988]

She had her voice in boyz too she AWAYS has her voice…

[@kerrypeters4724]

But she kicked up so much about wanting sing rnb 90 music now sings something like little mix

[@loki884]

@@kerrypeters4724 which part of it is like Little Mix, i don’t hear Little Mix in Boyz nor Bad thing, and also these are just her pre-release singles

[@Jumbaride]

"Boyz" is a banger, and "Bad Thing" is a haunting masterpiece. "Bad Thing", for me, is the sequel to "Boyz". "Boyz" is about wanting a bad boy, and "Bad Thing" is about what often happens after you get him.

[@MashaZheglova]

Interesting assumption, absolutely love it

[@panoslmp7151]

Her vocals are awesome in this song

[@joanne.]

I wasn't a fan of Boyz and all the drama around it but this, this is something. The vocals, acting, message, working with a charity. Great job really

[@lova.ticdemi2070]

[@CustardCream22]

I love this one. Much more tasteful and love the vintage look. Her voice sounds amazing on this track. I teared up at the end.

[@Itsryebailey]

Miles better than bad boys

[@funkysuga1994]

Totally agree her voice sounds awesome on this!

[@soyboy101]

Her first song is just called Boyz

[@kn1gh7w0lf7]

Miles?Thousand miles better...

[@JTScott1988]

Not really it’s not as vocal. It’s nice tho. Boyz is anazing

[@isaidwhatisaid3564]

It’s not bad but “Bad Boys” was a BOO! Don’t play 😂

[@makeupbysteven2286]

Such a shame it didn’t chart in the top 100…my friend worked on the video of this said she is absolutely lovely and told me 4 weeks ago the song is amazing

[@paulnorfolk2597]

I've watched this video several tines and when I first watched it ,I sobbed. I'm watching it today after about a few months and I'm crying again. It's a music video that will never leave my mind.

[@jaynepeach4689]

007 sound. Got the theme of when the Kray brothers were around. Love it Jesy

[@stephaniehollick9746]

This is about domestic abuse. It flicks up at the end with a helpline. It was about it. Bless her. She really pulled it out of the bag

[@liamo7559]

Just noticed at the end she says she's damaged goods, rather than at the beginning she says he's damaged goods, clever wording but deep!

[@idilzengin1723]

the "I know I'm damaged goods" in the end :,)

[@leonardolucasrs]

I'll be honest... I cried. Jesy got me on her acting skills 👌🏻

[@Milly2354]

I’m glad you came here with an open mind, y’all can say what you want about her but this song is really good and her vocals are 👌🏼

[@heather7895]

I am so glad that your are feeling better! I had open heart surgery four years ago and the recovery was unpleasant. Hope your recovery goes well! Regarding Jesy’s song, it’s much better that Bad Boys.

[@LeonardoDiCapri-Sun]

Musically it has a bit of a James Bond theme song vibe to it

[@ahelibiswas3164]

Yea it IS supposed to be in the 60s-70s cause she's recreating her parent's story. She's playing her mum here. And he's "damaged goods" cause she's alluding to the fact that that guy/her dad ended up in prison. Basically a guy of the wrong tracks.

[@cbw-2211]

Goosebumps start to finish! The video definitely made me emotional. Awesome comeback ❤️

[@jerome_frk]

Love this so much it’s such a different level from boyz this girl deserves a second chance !! She’s a genuine artist, those acting skills, the idea of the whole video, the charity, everything fits so good

[@arthurdaniels3559]

I think this new song absolutely showcases Jesys talent in every way possible. Im in love with this song and as you say her voice is beautiful 😍. Get well soon Georgina x

[@ThatBranB]

Jesy definitely understood the qualities of how her vocals capture emotion. This song really gave me the parts of Jesy I enjoyed most from her Little Mix days when singing songs like "Good Enough", "Woman's World", "Notice" etc... With Boyz I assume she wanted that impactful uptempo urban flavour to get a potential top 20 hit, which she did achieve. Lyrically it didn't do much for me, but liked her dancing a lot. BAD Thing is Jesy in her purest element, but with that brilliance, not sure where it fits in today's chart market sonically. It deserves a strong performance as this is a great job done lyrically and sonically.

[@HollyJordan15]

Jessy was my favourite singer from Little Mix.

[@SiGr10614]

she is incredible at ballads.

[@hypojonk]

this is really impressive from jesy i just love everything about this the vocals, the video, the acting the message i feel like if she released this instead of boyz it would’ve rocket launched her career and would’ve set the tone i really hope this does well i’m routing for her!! great reaction as always georgina!!

[@AbacusAxolotyl]

It's so sad that Jesy didn't start with this song...Unfortunately her actual first single, although catchy, was rubbish and tone deaf. When you come out as a solo artist and you're already well known then your first single will set the tone for your career and Jesy and her team completely missed the mark and offended a lot of people. It might be hard to recover from, even with a stellar vocal performance and a strong message such as this one. I'm interested to see her perform it live because her solo performances so far (with Boyz) have been mostly lipped and the minimal vocals that were live were extremely poor for an industry veteran. I really hope she comes out and gives a strong vocal performance live with this one and proves to the haters that she does have what it takes!

[@JTScott1988]

It was good. Her image was bad.

[@Hafferlaf87]

Nonsense. Boyz was a banger, and the only ones who were “offended” by it were kids mad about Jesy leaving LM. The bullying really took off the second she left, NOT because of anything else.

[@tomascaro5224]

What a change - huge improvement over her first single. This is a superb mix of excellent song and wonderful acting, by Jasy and her support actor !!!!

[@Anacardiff]

I was really looking forward to this reaction since the single came out, I knew you would like it, because it's really good. Did you notice that, at the end she sings: "I'm damaged goods", before she sang he is damaged goods, but at the end she also feels that way, it's very sad 😢. And I've read somewhere that she worked with an organisation to prevent domestic violence. This is definitely a great new single.

[@chriggle1]

I didn’t notice the lyrics change at the end the first time, but you are so right, and it fits.

[@rosemariehadley7666]

[@CyanideSunshines]

I absolutely adore this song. Honestly she was always my favourite in LM. I think the media is very good at pitting women against each other and blowing things out of proportion. They don't do that to men . Not to the same extent. I also don't think she's entirely to blame for the bad blood in LM. The others are no saints

[@soulofhoneymoon]

The girls tried to tell her but did she listen no, the girls didn't do anything but supportes her through her time in little mix

[@Hafferlaf87]

@@soulofhoneymoon No, it was obvious at the end that she was on her own. Jesy was mistreated by people around them - the same people that the rest of LM are still cozy with. And don’t even get me started on how the abuse of Jesy from LM fans exploded when she left the band, and how the others (especially Leigh Anne) only fueled the fire. I lost all respect I ever had for those three fakers.

[@Haiyan25]

She is to blame though, because she had all their support, until she started acting out. They were all going to do solo projects, so why wouldn’t they support Jesy? Just admit that she messed up, and handled everything very badly.

[@tjsquibbofficial]

@@soulofhoneymoon I mean, Leigh-Anne hasn't been a great friend exactly. In the Odd One Out documentary, she didn't really seem to give a shit, she was just sat on the beach whilst Jade & Perrie were trying not to breakdown in tears. Her own documentary was just not it either.

[@Haiyan25]

@@Hafferlaf87 that is so not true. She had all their support until they realised she lied. She didn’t just leave because of her mental health, she wanted to be a solo artist. So why not just tell the truth if they were all going on a hiatus? All the fans were in support of her and were waiting to see her first solo project, only to be underwhelmed by it. And it didn’t stop there, rather than take responsibility for her actions, she allowed that clown Nicki to fight her battles for her, which just made it worse. And fans like you don’t help either, because instead of holding her accountable, you just pass the blame onto Leigh-Anne, who did nothing to deserve this. Now look at this song, it’s beautiful and soulful, this is what we wanted for her, this is what we knew she was capable of, if only she would admit that she made a mistake...
