"Yeh, it was really fun. Just again the opportunity to perform with someone I grew up listening to, the Mary J Blige," she gushed. "I recorded it about six months ago so it was completely strange doing it with fake snow, but it is a month today till Christmas.

Jessie also recalled just sitting down and chatting with Mary and the "atmosphere" that an artist of her stature can create.
"It was just me and her in a room, that's really rare that an artist kind of makes time to sit with you on their own when they're so busy and I know they're doing their promo," Jessie continued.   
"She really spoke to me. It's not so much advice, it's an atmosphere. It's really important that artists who've done this and had a sense of longevity create an atmosphere for artists like me to remember that."
Last night saw Jessie also take to the stage for the annual Royal Variety Performance at the London Palladium. 
Gary Barlow, Rizzle Kicks, Robbie Williams and Olly Murs were also among the performers at the show.
Meanwhile, Jessie will be back at London's O2 Arena next month for Capital's Jingle Bell Ball 2013 on a line-up which includes the likes of Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, John Newman, Dizzee Rascal and Rudimental.

The Queen Of The Screen : Fatal stabbing at my gig left me heartbroken

Jessie J has revealed she was left ‘heartbroken’ by a fatal bottle-slash attack at one of her gigs last year.

Jessie J: Fatal stabbing left me heartbroken

The shattered Wild singer said it took her a ‘long time’ to get her head around the death of Phillip Sherriff, 37, at her set for BlackBerry at a London nightclub last April. He was stabbed by Ashley Charles, a 26-year-old graphic designer.
‘I’ve never actually spoken about this. You never expect to have someone lose their life at your show. I was heartbroken,’ the 25-year-old songstress said after Charles was jailed for 14 years for his murder.
‘I’d left the building when it happened, but the thought that the last thing he saw was me singing live? That stuck with me for a long time,’ the star told Time Out magazine.
She also explained how there is an ugly side to fame.
‘I’ve had death threats for cancelling shows!’ she explained.
‘With social media, young people use words of hatred so flippantly now. It’s either “I LOVE YOU!” or “I HATE YOU AND I WANT YOU TO DIE.” There’s no middle ground. Everything’s an extreme, because people want to be noticed.’
The former Voice UK coach also said things got too close to call when she had ankle surgery following a nasty fall during rehearsals for the Capital Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium.
‘In summer of 2011, I broke my foot while filming an advert. I got rushed to A&E and as I was being pushed to a room, people were filming and taking photos. That’s the bit I hate. That’s the bit I… those are the moments when I lose faith in the public.
‘At the time I was just thinking: “You’ve not bought a ticket to come and see me right now, please understand that this is a very personal moment.” Even a doctor asked for my autograph.
‘They told me I’d sprained my foot. The sock that I wore for the Wembley gig I did afterwards – people to this day think that it was a cast. It wasn’t, it was from Claire’s Accessories.’

Singer Jessie J on why she ditched the booze and has been simplifying her life for the sake of her music



The 25-years old singer has said keeping off the booze has helped her stay in shape and stay focused for her tour.
Singer Jessie J.

ONE of the perks of being a pop star is having access to an endless flow of free champers.
But Jessie J has passed up on that particular freebie – because she has quit booze altogether.
The singer, 25, hasn’t touched alcohol for a year and has  revealed for the first time why she stopped.
Essex girl Jessie said: “I haven’t had any alcohol for a year – October 15 last year was the last time I had a drink.
“It has made a difference. Honestly, I think when you live cleaner, your mind is cleaner.”
Speaking at the opening night of her Alive stadium tour in Belfast on last week, Jessie said that staying off the sauce has contributed towards her trim physique.
The star has been showing off her fantastic figure in an array of catsuits, floaty dresses and sequins.
The It’s My Party star said: “I’ve been working out loads and having protein shakes, making sure my diet is right and just being vocally prepared. This show is hard on my vocals.”
Fortunately, Jessie doesn’t feel as if she is missing out on any Geordie Shore-style nightclubbing antics – as she isn’t into that scene.
She insisted: “Not drinking hasn’t been too tough on my social life or going out – as I don’t have many friends.
“I mean that in a positive way. I have the friends I need and that’s it. They fit in my life.”
What Jessie might be saving in bar bills she seems to be making up for with her own stylist.
After ditching her cartoon ­character look last year and parting ways with her fashion man Karl Willett, she has turned to DIY diva dressing.
Jessie said: “Styling myself hasn’t saved me loads of money at all because I don’t get lent stuff any more.
“I have to buy it myself now. But at least I get to keep it, which is great. I used to hate it when I got to wear an amazing coat just the once.
“I feel like I look simpler now and that it’s all about my voice.”
And not vodka.

And with the show wrapped for another year Jessie J 
made a beeline for the airport on Monday – but not 
before saying good bye to her fans. 
The 25-year-old singer was leaving her hotel in the company of a burly minder when she paused to acknowledge the throng of autograph hunters gathered outside the entrance. 
Wearing a black vest top, breezy monochrome skirt and sandals, Jessie indulged them with photos and obligatory autographs before heading on her way.
The stylish star opted to team her black and white outfit with simple accessories in the form of large hoop earrings and dark sunglasses, while the very eighties looking hat on her head was set at a raffish angle. 
At one point the It’s My Party singer appeared to immortalise the occasion by taking a snap on her mobile phone while the bodyguard looked on.

The singer used the opportunity to showcase a string of tracks from forthcoming sophomore album Alive, while classics such as Dot it Like a Dude and Price Tag were also included on the set-list. 
Following in the footsteps of Beyonce, who performed on Friday, and Alicia Keys on Sunday, Jessie was kitted out in another futuristic ensemble, a patchwork playsuit, held together by black leather binding.

The star opted for black trainers, but despite the lack of heels she certainly didn’t need the extra height by showing off her lengthy, toned pins at the show.
She kept her blonde pixie cut in a sleek style, while keeping her make-up golden with some gold eyeshadow and cheek shimmer.  
Justin Timberlake and British rockers Muse were also amongst the acts to feature at this year’s event.
