The Voice

Did Jessie J Just Throw Shade At Rita Ora Over The Voice?

Former judge compliments replacement, but has some criticism...

Thursday, March 19, 2015 - 11:36

Jessie J has been throwing herself back into her pop career since she jumped ship from The Voice the year before last.

But the pop star HAS been keeping up with the show - and she's just given her verdict on this year's new arrival Rita Ora.

While stressing that she thinks Ora is "really good", she didn't shy away from telling The Times that things would be different if she was still sitting in that revolving chair.

"There are a few people who were told they were amazing that weren't," she said.

"No one turned around and afterwards one of the judges said, 'It was so amazing, I can't critique it'.

"Well why didn't you turn around? Because you're lying."

Ooh, burn!

Jessie this week cancelled her remaining tour dates in Australia after being hit by a "sudden illness".

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)
