Singer’s rant as critics slam her role on The Voice
Viewers and critics slammed the Price Tag singer as “charmless”, “an attention-seeking t*t” and a “show-off” after Saturday night’s launch on BBC1.
But Jessie — a coach on the show alongside Will.i.am, Danny O’Donoghue and Sir
Tom Jones — answered back in tweets to her six million followers.
She wrote: “And we hung out when? An edited version is never the full story.
“You wouldn’t write a review on a book after reading 3 pages would you?”
She added: “When you go to bitch about someone you have never met... Think...
for a second before you do... ‘Oh yeah I have NEVER met them’.”
In yesterday’s Sun, TV critic Ally Ross said: “But what really kills the mood
is the malign presence of Jessie J, who still mistakes being charmless,
rude, egotistical and unpleasant for being ‘real’.”
Other critics dismissed the singer as a “show-off”, with one sniping: “I was
beginning to wish Jessie had decided on a sponsored silence for Comic Relief
rather than shaving her head.”
Viewers also pitched in. Leia Farnan said on Twitter: “She makes everything
about her.”
Olivia Stewart said: “Been watching The Voice for one minute and I already
want to slap Jessie J. Sit down you attention-seeking t*t.” And Perry Payne
added: “It doesn’t take Jessie J very long to continue where she left off,
attention seeking and annoying everyone.”
The show failed to triumph in the head-to-head ratings battle with Ant and
Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, which pulled in an average of 7.2million
viewers.
The Voice got just 6.2million, way down on the 8.4million audience who tuned
in for the start of the first series last year.
Saturday’s opening show included impressive auditions from Will.i.am lookalike
Matt Henry, Mike Ward, Ash Morgan, Andrea Begley and Leanne Jarvis.
But Nineties’ pop sensation Kavana — real name Anthony Kavanagh — was sent
packing with a string of other wannabes.
