Let me hear you: Jessie J beckons the audience on the Toronto television


Jessie J continued to bring her unique brand of Essex-bred talent to northern American and Canada, landing in Toronto on the latest leg of her tour.

The 23-year-old dropped in to New.Music.Live on Much Music in the Canadian city to a rapturous reception.

In what's become par for the course for the Essex-born singer, she strutted her stuff in a one-legged Lycra catsuit for the performance.

Her guest spot on the show, which has played host to the likes of Lady Gaga and Rihanna, was a precursor to her concert played in the same city.

She later played an exclusive show to press and fans who won tickets through competitions on local radio.

By all accounts she rocked the show at the DOM Club.

On the music show, Jessie sang Price Tag, Nobody's Perfect, Do It Like A Dude and Mamma Knows Best - delivering both in pitch perfect fashion.

In video footage taken by a member of the audience, the screams of her fans are so loud that her vocals are inaudible, drowned out by chants of 'We love you Jessie'.

During her interview on the show she made a plea to Rihanna to perform her Number One hit Do It Like A Dude with her.

Jessie wrote the song for the RnB star, but decided to keep it for herself.

However, she told the show's host: 'I wanna ask her, I really wanna ask her if we can perform it together.. either on her tour or at V Festival or one of the big festivals. I definitely think that she would kill it.'

She also revealed her ambitions to record with some of America's biggest stars, including 10-year-old Willow Smith.

Jessie said: 'I'd definitely want to work with Aretha Franklin, Prince and Beyonce. I recently spoke with Jasmine Sullivan on the phone, I definitely want to get in the studio with her.

'I want to work with Willow Smith I think she's incredible. It's a very humbling situation when an artist wants to work with you and you get the opportunity to work with them.'

But, elsewhere, she has played down comparisons to Lady Gaga.

Jessie said: 'She set the bar so high style-wise and conceptual ideas-wise that, now, if someone's wearing shoulder pads they're being Lady Gaga. That's the only frustration, people don't own things - I don't own this haircut - if someone else wants to do it, cool, it's a haircut.

'I think she's amazing, I don't think anyone else can ever pull off the things she does. I don't think I would ever turn up somewhere in a meat dress.'

Despite her hectic tour schedule Jessie has been making regular updates via her Twitter page to keep her fans, or Heartbeats as she calls them, updated on her progress.

In the most recent she posted photos of herself shopping in a grocery store and cooking a meal - which, she noted, was the first time in months she'd had the opportunity to do so.

She tweeted: '4 hours sleep a night takes its toll. I'm in desperate need of a lay in.'

And her latest tweet simply read: 'Back at the airport. #stompstompinmontreal #toronto you rocked.'

Montreal is the singer's next destination as she continues to whip up a storm across the pond.
