What's so amazing about her is despite of all those straining and weird placements, she could really sustain high belts, and her vocal stamina could endure phrasal belting for minutes. She started with so much vocal potential with "i wanna love you forever". But as her career progressed, her placement went baby-ish, like she's trying to sound like Britney, but someone who can belt and sustain high notes.

[@Zachx]

Somebody compared her to Britney meets Christina cuz that's who she was up against. Makes sense. They should've just let her sing instead of trying to change her voice.

What’s insane and infuriating about this poor girl’s music career, is that when she started out, she was incredible. Her voice was really good l, had huge range, and she was Broadway bound. But somewhere along the line, you could tell there was a distinct and dramatic change in the way she sang, and in her technique. You could tell the studios got her some Coach to try to make her sound like Britney and they just ruined her technique.

[@ILoveChocolateCoffee]

If you want to hear someone hit the correct notes listen to Whitney Houston or Celine Dion or Mariah Carrey...they are great vocalists.

Jessica seriously shits on every song she sings and I'm embarrassed for her. If she had some training she could probably control her voice better...all that said I think she has a shit ton of talent and potential but over sexed guys liked her looks and 12 year old girls thought she was awesome and her dad was a good business man so she was told she was great at a young age and now she's to old to listen to anyone who thinks she needs training so she will never be great just told she's great.

​@THEDOORIZCLOSED nah she really did/does have a good range. She just doesn't quite have the control that Mariah had/has throughout that range. Mariah can get a tad bit higher than Jessica, though.

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

@@kittygumdrop7442 you literally wrote a paragraph of false information

[@Kitkatklaws]

Her range is absolutely not “almost the same as Mariah’s” LMAOO 💀💀💀

[@rydbthatsme]

@@Kitkatklaws look it up they both have 4.5 octaves. Don’t play with me I ain’t the one

[@ricksteven2155]

I'd love to hear her sing again. A true singer and underrated. What a wasted gift if she doesn't

[@gracevilla7916]

Her singing touches me so, it almost makes me cry.

[@2600BC.]

They say she has a bad technique but for me she is a great singer of her time, and props to her not lip sycning. I never encountered any videos of her lipping, I would rather listen to a performance like this than a lipped one.

[@katscratchfever3506]

Give it a few minutes. The ringing will stop. It’s okay.

[@honeyisnatural5]

I didn’t know she could sing this good. Nice job JS

[@Haley_678]

She was always compared to britney, but I have to say, I can't imagine Britney's baby voice or even her "real" voice, ever hitting those notes. No hate to Britney, but Jessica was so underrated imo.

[@FS-pt9rc]

She could with her "real" voice. Just listen to her as a young kid singing the National anthem

[@tisanb]

I agree

[@rydbthatsme]

Literally! Jessica’s a powerful Soprano has almost the same range as Mariah and Britney is a quieter Mezzo who has like 3 octaves

[@richardswhore7863]

@r0bz _ no need to be rude and pit two women against each other. Tired of ppl always comparing women. Why cant two female singers exist at the same time without having to be compared 😍

[@ericramirez2594]

I believe she was compared to Britney, not so much in the sense of vocals but rather them as pop female acts their image how they were both blondes. Initially Jessica’s record label had her release her first single as a ballad to separate her from Britney and Christina. While she initially did great...Britney and Christina always stayed one step ahead. So by Jessica’s 2nd album Irresistible, her label decided to bring more sex appeal to her image music and performances to level up to Britney and Christina but it seemed like it had potential but never really happened. Much love and respect for all 3 women regardless! They were all amazing!!

[@lindatheresa8449]

Goosebumps! ☺

[@stayaway7357]

She would be pretty dope in a metal core band

[@darrenlockenheart]

Agreed

[@mexbiuri]

omg, sooo talented, beautiful and that part of her so bronzed on her pink dress....speechless

You're joking, right?

Incredibly beautiful there.

Agreed. Beyond talented completely underrated

[@krystlegregory3130]

Yes

[@rh9110]

I don't know why but how she moves her face and mouth makes me laugh so hard 😂😂😂😂😂😂. By the way, she seems to have a powerful voice.

[@blueskys2010]

She was actually pretty good, I love the way she didn't has hesitation to show everyone her Range.

[@mlcdori]

She has a nice voice but she exaggerates 😭

and the facial expressions that followed ....

[@kestrelflight]

Nah...dont hear it....nothing like Fergie....definitely much better....

[@Solo-vh9fm]

She didn’t even stay in the same key here

[@calaragazza3556]

Jessica was much better

[@Lubbylove89]

Homegirl didn't stand a chance. Growing up it was Christina & Britney. Jessica & Mandy tried but they couldn't reach them. Looking back at this now I'm not sure how Jessica don't pop vocal cords screaming like that.

[@heatheralcantar2545]

So true they were like Britney and Christina's less popular cousins ...

[@jdexcalibur1989]

Well she did pop a blood vessel in her vocal chord during the public affair era. That's why she sounded hoarse in one interview.. and she said that happened to her.

[@sharifuddinsalleh7119]

I agree with the others, Jessica, could definitely sing, and she could hit the actual notes in live singing, which is really admirable considering some present singers who go off key during their live performances. Her live singing might not be great, but is still good, I think ❤

[@lynguerrero2705]

OMG, “extra-singing” Yes please!!! She’s amazing!!

[@andipermata7922]

LACKS OF IDENTITY. OVERSINGING. SHE TRIED SO HARD PROVE HERSELF.

[@alonsoschneider8109]

it wasnt her fault tho...

[@rydbthatsme]

Yea but if you read her book there was A L O T of pressure to compete. She should have just been her amazing self. Her vocals in talent shows as a teen were incredible.

[@janinedivine2457]

She has a great voice why compare her with anyone? She’s unique in her own unique way!

[@popinfresh]

She wasn’t unique. That was the problem. She was just ok

[@oscarputrino4478]

She was and carries on being one of the most beautiful female voices of the last twenty years! She was so underrated but now with the cover song :"The particles" is coming at her great with an explosive new musical career!!! 💪🙏❤️

Terrible

[@evled8519]

Thanks I’ve got a headache from watching this video lol

[@angiebenvenuto7011]

She’s not over singing anything that’s how the songs are. She’s known for singing very powerful ballads, she’s amazing

[@user-xe6ol7rw1z]

Honestly she wasn’t bad at all. I think at the time her management pushed her to be like Christina Aguilera.

[@AdaVox]

From a technical standpoint, she is absolutely over singing.

[@jes6161]

Shes definitely over singing.

[@MP-ef9yo]

Shes straining her throat like theres no tomorrow

[@pedroamador1991]

02:10 was iconic. Gorgeous tonal quality, her throat finally opened, and that BAND🥰... Yes Gawd

[@cristianjimenez2786]

Agree that high note was insane

[@mijalakis3]

She actually has a 4 and a half octave range that is wider than Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Ariana Grande and almost as wide as Mariah Carey. She was a really good singer at the beginning, she couldve done Broadway too, but because Motolla wanted a Britney 2.0 he forced her to adopt a technique with too much compression and vocal fry but she has the pipes to be a great singer and she is up until this day a beautiful woman. I'm glad she made it big in fashion

[@rydbthatsme]

Exactly! She’s got vocals comparable to Mariah and more potential than anybody’s favorites!
