Jessie J Talks 'Domino,' Dedicates Her VMA Performance To The Heartbeats


You'll have to forgive Jessie J if she has to sit down once or twice during her VMA performance as house artist: she's been nursing a broken foot after sustaining an injury in June. But after watching her absolutely annihilate her VMA rehearsal today (if there were a VMA for Best Voice, I'd lobby for Jessie J to win like six of them), it's apparent that she'll have asses out of seats, even if she's sitting in hers.
But if you're like me, and Jessie J had you at "Do It Like A Dude" when you first heard it last year or when her Who You Are album finally came out, you already knew that not only can she write a perfect party jam (perhaps you've heard of a little under-the-radar B-side called"Party In The U.S.A."), but she's a born belter. And as any die-hard Jessie J fan -- also known as Heartbeats -- can attest, Jessie J isn't just about subverting sex roles with a sneer and an unsubtle crotch grab. She's got a sweet side too, as evidenced by her shimmering new single, "Domino," which she'll perform at the VMAs on Sunday in a move that's about to take her from "who's that girl?" status to it-girl status.
"People have heard 'Domino' and said 'it's nothing like you.' But I'm like well the album's really eclectic anyway, and I never go into the studio and say 'I wanna do another song that's like "Price Tag" or another song like "Do It Like A Dude",' she said. "I listened to a lot of Whitney and Prince... and we kinda just wanted to write a song that's timeless, that's fun and uplifting."
