Jessie J is so underrated.

Unfortunately

Shillip DeFraudo It’s because her songs don’t show her off

[@sethbender2863]

yes she is a queen. so talented and really should be on the samd stage as all the other american artists

[@Kate_the_VIII]

I saw Jessie J in concert in Montreal a few years ago, she is even better live than in the studio. Her energy is off the charts and it was the best concert I've ever been to!

[@michalkubon1543]

When I hear jessie j i know there'll be hella a lot of runs 😂😂💕💕

[@howlingmine]

Jessie J give me the runs........

The best vocalist of this generation, I had the pleasure to see her live and she's just so amazing, sounding better that in the albums everytime, i love her so much.

[@MikeJesus.8]

Jessie J absolutely killed this song softly.

[@minonadam1077]

we need more of jessie j's reaction pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase

[@MaxSujyReact]

Jessie J always have been one of my favorite artist... and it's not about to change!

[@johnokamoto6762]

She SLAYED that song! She had my heart riding with her from the start and I loved her stage presence. That part where she was looking at that guy in the audience was great! Made his day for sure...........and every other guy jealous!😄

[@BarneyAndCoco]

Jesse has a gift. Her voice is just amazing and I love the way she does this song. I had to hear what Tara had to say because she has a great way of explaning the art of singing, of which I have no clue. Thanks again for pointing out things that make the performance even more interesting.

[@shadypikachu4475]

jessie j for sure is one of the most talented singers of our generation

[@steveheckle8847]

Jessie j and Morissette Amon are light years ahead of the game 🇬🇧🔥👌💓.

[@BainesAdam]

You are one of the few people to notice her shifting vocal patterns. I have edited music videos for forty years and Jessie J is a master at making space and/or delaying words to the last nano second in a lyric line. And it draws you in. The Christopher Walken of Music.

[@Urfav4444]

I LOOOOOOVE WHEN YOU REACT TO JESSIE J

[@crazytaysangs9825]

fav singers I love how you have abbey smith (YEBBA) as your photo

[@trentt5310]

Always so happy when I see a notification from you! Looooove this performance so I’m excited to see your reaction. Much love!

[@sethbender2863]

jessie j is so unmatched. all of the songs she did on this show was fantastic. her vocals are way above most artists out there!

[@stevo63n]

That was a perfect rendition of that song.JJ should release an album based around this song and the music she grew up with.

[@DarkeDZoro]

jessie j is a vocal god

[@IVXXIV]

Jessie is next level talent! Unmatched skill... Our generation is not worthy.

[@sallysmith5090]

I really enjoyed this performance! Thanks! This was sung at our wedding waaaay back in 1973! Great version!

[@Rosannasfriend]

Don't forget that Roberta Flack is the original singer of this song .

[@BBBYpsi]

You beat me to it. Those of us who are old enough relate this song to Roberta Flack

[@DalasKnight]

Actually Lorie Lieberman was the original artist, but Roberta made a huge hit with it.

[@GlenGoesOutdoors]

@@DalasKnight Yup. Was going to post that myself. Lorie collaborated in the songwriting, as well as releasing it 2 years prior to Roberta.

[@caydenhernandez3747]

In 1973 Roberta made it a number 1 hit, in 1997 Fugees won a Grammy with it

[@caydenhernandez3747]

BBBYpsi I’m 14 and can relate it to Roberta flack, I heard her version before fugees and this one. I just love old music.

[@ksenijajemensek6126]

My ears have been blessed by Jessie J’s version. I wish I could sing like Jessie. Music and singing have always been my therapy. I love singing but I need some practice to sing much better. Tara thank you for sharing all these videos and thank you for helping us sing better. I love all your videos and I’m your subscriber. ♥️

[@iliagrigorjew4621]

When I hear jessie j...А я вспоминаю jessie j и открытие олимпиады в Лондоне ...2012..Queen & Jessie J... Спасибо, Tara... .

[@mannysaavedra1044]

Tara, you should totally react to Avery Wilson singing "Can We Talk." It's Amazing! And I just wanna say Jessie J is a Queen!

[@ThatGamerGirl100]

You don’t know how happy I get everytime I see there’s a new video!!

[@AllIAm1]

I love her diction in this and well placed riffs and runs. Was certainly in the style of Roberta Flack as others have said tho.

[@7pontiff]

Just a minor point but Lauryn Hill's version was a cover. Roberta Flack was the originator not the Fugee's.

[@acquadi2077]

Peter Harrison both of the songs were in this video but thanks for giving her name (Roberta Flack).

[@Viridiana15]

Lori Lieberman is the original singer of this song in 1971... not Roberta flack. Robertas was actually the cover for lori's version

[@andresalvites5587]

O god thank you for this reaction, one of my favorite female singers. Love your comments love you

[@SuperMatheusReis]

Thank you for this!!! This is my favorite perfomance of her!

[@ILikeChickenOkay]

Jessie is my favourite singer of all time, ive seen her live 7 times and she never ceases to amaze me with her vocal abilities - i’ve followed her music for about 12 years and i still never tire of hearing her sing. She seems like an all round wonderful human being too💜

[@yanisregg2715]

[@nika795]

Jessie is Queen‼️

[@subsufmonru]

TOTALLY off topic... do you do any styling blogs or pics or videos? I always love the outfits and makeup you put together. Always serving us looooooks!!

[@mikhaellockhart4925]

I was just about to comment that she always looks nice and I don’t think she’s won the same outfit twice

[@danicagorgeous2350]

Omg. I could totally watch all videos in this channel for 24 hours non-stop, especially those reacting on the singers videos. Dang! 🥰❤️

[@uknowwutiwant]

Love Jessie. (you too Tara ) Love from Portugal

[@heartriah]

i really love your fashion in every video! it's like every video you get dolled up !! amazingggg

[@elisz8432]

Please react to Sohyang's "everyone" and "Dream." Both are her showcasing amazing vocal abilities in these performances (as usual!).

[@terjoe6643]

Quite simply, one of the greatest vocalists of all time. Jessie has an absolutely immaculate voice. She sounds the way chocolate tastes - ravishingly moreish and smooth.

[@greatmusicdilettante6405]

The bit with the pianist cracked me up 😂 . It fits the lyrics so well. I bet the entire thing was preplanned and rehearsed, not impromptu. JJ killed me as soon as she sang the first line. I 💖 this performance.

[@AlexAlex-um7jn]

Jessie J is sooo underrated !! ❤❤❤🙏

[@flaviab5315]

Yes, unfortunately

[@ChrisPage68]

Saddening that she had to go halfway around the world to regain her stardom.

[@nakata607]

She needs songs that expose her!

[@WelcomeToJ]

That was *THE BEST* version of the song I have ever heard. She took me on a musical journey - I actually followed the story of the lyrics - and LIVED them! - for the first time!! It hit me. This performance musically, dynamically, vocally, moved me. BRAVO Jessie J :D Also, Tara, for some reason you commenting on the minor to major switch at the end made me smile so much. It's your knowledge and what you catch and share that blows me away. I love it and I remembered why I'm subscribed to your channel.

[@TE5LA-GAMING]

It was very good, but I also liked the one by Roberta Flack.

[@annelieserice2756]

Yes! I never clicked so fast!! Jessie J is truly so underrated.

[@hiflyinhawaiin]

I read somewhere that she was really sick and almost didn't do this performance. Makes it even more amazing!

[@ericabelcher8760]

Incredible!!!

[@jimmymuhamad]

"Child inside of me..." You are so right, Tara, you are sooooooo right.

[@reneezemlock7880]

Right as you said "Where is Lauren Hill today?", she walked across my TV screen in Sister Act 2 :P

[@tijanaprole1679]

'I don't care if it is with me...Get with someone, get with the coach...' Tara is such a nice human...She doesn't want us to take her lessons just because of benefits she gets. She just wants us to make our dreams come true,even if we attend someone else's classes. I think that the best thing about her isn't the fact that she's an amazing teacher, but the fact she is so caring and cute!

[@randomseth4978]

You should watch Jessie J sing reflection from Mulan. It’s one of my favorites that she has sung on the show (mainly because of the nostalgia and because it’s so pretty)

[@marioleperafuster4616]

beautiful performance and beautiful words by Tara

[@eugenescheepers2728]

Tara, stacks of people possibly have suggested Polina Gagarina to you, but she is another supervoice on current The Singer. Awesone reaction to Killing Me Softly, btw. And you look amazing,

[@LordKyo163]

Please react to Pentatonix's cover of "Can't Help Falling In Love" It was Avi's last song with them!!

[@francoislamarche3861]

I love Jessie J... she is underated in the industry but she is a master of stage

[@rayesshandi5682]

Please react to Jessie J - Earth Song + Flash Light Jessie J - Reflection Jessie J - Ain't No Mountain High Enough Jessie J ft Luke james - i'll be there

[@caydenhernandez3747]

Roberta flack in the 70s originated this song, Lauren hills and fugees in the 90s remade this song. Jessie J in 2018 killed this song. Roberta flack’s version is my fav though.

[@CodyRRichardson]

Luther Vandross did a cover at some point. I like that one too ;)

[@fitwithsoof7309]

Lori Lieberman is the original collabed writer and artist not Roberta Flack

[@luizfernando4669]

Thank you for that... ❤

[@ygyeh]

Jessie J is not from this world, god has kissed her voice once

[@BoraViolin]

I love her! I love her as an artist and a person! She's one of those crazy talented vocalists, who is down to earth and approachable! She has no ego. I saw her bring my fav Morissette on stage to sing with her when she performed in the Philippines a few years ago. Watching her interact with her was humbing. There's another clip where a fan just comes undone in her presence. She looked her straight in the eye and said "Its ok Its ok Im just like you I just sing!" I just loved that! More power and success to her. She has written some fantastic music. Still underrated IMHO!

[@tgraf66]

I very much enjoy your reactions and your commentary, particularly on established artists like Jessie, because it's very helpful to see what it is they're doing right so I can try to emulate that. Thank you for doing this one. One of her competitors in this round, Wang Feng, made a very nice little speech about Jessie and her performance at the judging section of this episode. He said, "Jessie shows us what 'great' is. We don't have a clear concept of 'great'. If a child now asks me what is 'great', I will ask him to listen to Jessie J. Her breath, her musicality, and her understanding of music perfectly explain what is 'great'. Look how carefully she deals with a forty-year-old song; you'll find that she is completely integrated with the music. So the best thing that Jessie has taught us is that we always need to learn."

[@tgraf66]

P.S. Dimash has a new cover of a Lara Fabian song "Mademoiselle Hyde" out on YT. Even if you don't react to it, you need to give it a listen. :-)

[@maxhvasta8648]

Please React to Jessie J I Will Always Love You. Thank you for all of your great videos Tara!

[@luvinrin]

Jessie J doing "Queen/Im every woman" on VH1 (Lol saw other comments with this but wanted to add one too)

[@nakata607]

In this performance she going in kind of jazz, Broadway, French-ish, pop mixed singing swinging between the styles.

[@ivyfalls1]

How about going old school and react to Linda Ronstadt? "Desperado", perhaps?

[@iloshh__]

When Tara talks about people having "real" jobs and still having the desire to sing, I saw myself in 20 years which is scary.

[@liliheartbeat-jessiejfan6710]

Thank you so much for react to Jessie J. She just realised her new single "I WANT LOVE" today. Can you please react to her Lyrics video that is already out.

[@haleymolina5734]

Please react to KZ Tandingan's version of Rolling in the Deep by Adele. She performed in this same show as Jessie and they were both amazing. Plus love your reactions thank you for all the tips and free lessons 😊

[@shannonforrester123]

i can never listen to Jessie without getting goosebumps

[@jeanminiou3099]

It’ll be so cool if you react to Jessie’s Queen/I’m every woman live performance on VH1 Chanel. I’ve never posted a comment like that before but I really enjoyed this performance. There’s actually lots of things I would like you to explain of her voice. I’ll probably be posting this on some vids if maybe you don’t see it. Keep going ! Always a pleasure to see you from France !

[@eturfrey]

Amazing artist

[@erickdupree3280]

Just for clarity, this isn't inspired by Lauryn Hill- it's really a disservice to Ms Hill and Jessie J. Considering Roberta Flack is referenced in the video, and this arrangement is in the style of Roberta Flack (who ended the song in a major key). You did this same thing with the I Will Always Love You video, citing only Whitney - even though it's a Dolly Parton song, with Dolly often singing the third verse accapella.

[@lblincoe2094]

What "thing" did she do? She said she grew up listening to Lauryn Hill sing this song.... 🤷 Lauryn Hill being the original artist was never mentioned or even suggested, she simply shared her personal connection to the song. And despite what arrangement Jessie actually sang, she specifically named Lauryn Hill as an inspiration to her as well, she never referenced Roberta Flack either. Whatever show she was on played a clip, but Jessie herself never mentioned her once. So I'm not understanding what it was she did... 🤔

[@LutBen13]

I'm dying to see Tara react to Jessie J singing Reflection on Singer 2018. There is this incredible word that she sings but runs for back in forth like 10 seconds on it. I think this part is very underrated and overlooked by most reactors, hoping Tara reacts!
