Jessie J has proved she’s more than Pitch Perfect with the video for new single, ‘Flashlight’.

The tune, which features on the soundtrack for Pitch Perfect 2 (see what we did there), sees Jessie perform the song at the ACTUAL campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rogue, where the likes of Rebel Wilson and Anna Kendrick shot the flick.

But, would the ‘Bang Bang’ singer make a good Barden Bella? Could she rival the sassiness of Fat Amy? Here’s our take on Miss. J’s chances…

1) You can always rely on Jessie to hit THOSE high notes.

2) She knows more rifts, runs and licks that you can shake a stick at.

3) Totes obvious one, but she can sing a capella like a pro. Aca-awesome.

4) She can sing with her mouth closed. WUT.

5) Not even a broken foot can stop her performing. That’s dedication.

6) She’s loves a good vocal battle. Did you not see her on The Voice?!

7) Jessie’s a self-confessed ‘Sweet Talker’ and has THE contacts… Hello? Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande anyone?

She got a body like an hourglass
But I can give it to you all the time
She got a booty like a Cadillac
But I can send you into overdrive, oh

You've been waiting for that
Step on up, swing your bat
See, anybody could be bad to you
You need a good girl to blow your mind, yeah

Bang bang into the room, I know you want it
Bang bang all over you, I'll let you have it
Wait a minute, let me take you there
Wait a minute 'till you
Bang bang, there goes your heart, I know you want it
Back, back seat of my car, I'll let you have it
Wait a minute, let me take you there
Wait a minute 'till you

She might've let you hold her hand in school
But I'mma show you how to graduate
No, I don't need to hear you talk the talk
Just come and show me what your momma gave, oh

I heard you've got a very big, shh
Mouth, but don't say a thing
See, anybody could be good to you
You need a bad girl to blow your mind

Bang bang into the room, I know you want it
Bang bang all over you, I'll let you have it
Wait a minute, let me take you there
Wait a minute 'till you
Bang bang, there goes your heart, I know you want it
Back, back seat of my car, I'll let you have it
Wait a minute, let me take you there (you know what, girls?)
Wait a minute 'till you (let me show you how to do it)

It's Myx moscato, it's frizz in a bottle
It's Nicki Full Throttle, it's oh, oh
Swimming in The Grotto, we winning in the lotto
We dipping in the powder blue, four door
Kitten so good, it's dripping on wood
Get a ride in the engine that could go
Batman, robbin it, bang bang, cocking it
Queen Nicki dominant, prominent
It's me, Jessie, and Ari, if they test me, they sorry
Ride his uh like a Harley then pull off in his Ferrari
If he hanging we banging, phone ranging, he slanging
It ain't karaoke night but get the mic cause I'm singing

Uh, B to the A to the N to the G to the hey
Uh, B to the A to the N to the G to the hey

See, anybody could be good to you
You need a bad girl to blow your mind
Your mind, okay

Bang bang into the room, I know you want it
Bang bang all over you, I'll let you have it
Wait a minute, let me take you there
Wait a minute 'till you
Bang bang, there goes your heart, I know you want it
Back, back seat of my car, I'll let you have it
Wait a minute, let me take you there
Wait a minute 'till you

Bang bang into the room, I know you want it
Bang bang all over you, I'll let you have it
Yo, I said, bang, bang, bang, b-bang, bang
Bang, bang, bang, bang, b-bang, bang

Bang bang, there goes your heart, I know you want it
Back, back seat of my car, I'll let you have it
Wait a minute, let me take you there
Wait a minute 'till you
