You've Got To See Jessie J Singing With Her Mouth Closed

Star shows off unlikely talent on The Graham Norton Show...

Tuesday, January 20, 2015 - 13:24

Is there no end to Jessie J's talents? She can sing, she can dance, she knows how to rock a pair of pantaloons.

But she has only just revealed what we reckon could be her greatest skill of all on The Graham Norton Show - singing with her mouth closed!

The 26-year-old star explained that one of her favourite childhood activities had been "pretending to be a box". Yes really!

"When I was younger I used to do auditions all the time and I was asked what I could do, I discovered when I was little that I could pretend I was in a box."

And when the audience laughed she explained: "I was an only child."

But their mirth turned to awe (and then more laughter) when she demonstrated the impressive skill with a sealed-lips rendition of her hit song Price Tag.

Jessie also spilled the beans about her misspelled tattoo on the BBC One chat show.

So much pressure, why so loud?
If you don't like my sound you can turn it down, I got a road
And I walk it alone
Uphill battle, I look good when I climb
I'm ferocious, precocious I get braggadocious, I'm not gonna stop
I like the view from the top

You talk that blah blah, that la la, that rah rah, shit
And I'm so done, I'm so over it
Sometimes I mess up, I "eff" up, I hit and miss
But I'm okay, I'm cool with it

I still fall on my face sometimes and I
Can't colour inside the lines 'cause
I'm perfectly incomplete
I'm still working on my masterpiece and I
I wanna hang with the greats got a
Way to go, but it's worth the wait, no
You haven't seen the best of me

I'm still working on my masterpiece and I (Oh oh oh oh oh oh I, I)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh I, I

Those who mind don't matter, those who matter don't mind
If you don't catch what I'm throwing then I'll leave you behind
Don't need a flash
And I ain't livin like that
They talk that blah blah, that la la, that rah rah, shit
Roll with the punches, and take the hits
Sometimes I mess up, I "eff" up, I swing and miss

But it's okay, I'm cool with it

I still fall on my face sometimes and I
Can't colour inside the lines 'cause
I'm perfectly incomplete
I'm still working on my masterpiece and I
I wanna hang with the greats got a
Way to go, but it's worth the wait, no

You haven't seen the best of me
I'm still working on my masterpiece and I (Oh oh oh oh oh oh I, I)

Oh oh oh oh oh oh I, I

I still fall on my face sometimes and I
Can't colour inside the lines 'cause
I'm perfectly incomplete
I'm still working on my masterpiece
Masterpiece, masterpiece
I still fall on my face sometimes and I
Can't colour inside the lines 'cause
I'm perfectly incomplete
I'm still working on my masterpiece and I
I wanna hang with the greats got a
Way to go, but it's worth the wait, no
You haven't seen the best of me
I'm still working on my masterpiece and I (Oh oh oh oh oh oh I, I)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh I, I (Still working on it, still working on it, still working on my masterpiece)
