Amie:
I chose to track Jessie J throughout her career as her quick succession has been a phenomenon  As she showed signs of her further in the entertainment business her dreams are sure to have come to true. Her funky edge sets her apart from many other artists making her a distinctive individual or does her music videos...?

Music Video Makes Noise

Jessie J Causing Curiosity 

It has hit the attention of the press that Jessie J and Robin Thicke have been seen on the set of their new music video which was circulated after pictures were posted on twitter. The duet is set to be called 'Calling All Hearts' and it has also been confirmed that Jessie will be touring with him. The pairs collaboration has caused great speculation due to Robin Thicke's usual style with half naked girls in his video like in 'Blurred Lines' and the VMA's twerking incident with Miley Cyrus. However MTV have reported that Jessie J has refused to bare flesh and will not be going naked. Jessie told The Sun 'No boobs. Not doing that. Even though Robin is really cool and I was thrilled he wanted duet with me" and continued to say that "I'll be getting paid a lot of money if they want me to dance around like the girls in the Blurred Lines video". However it goes to show how much the video can sometimes over take the interest of the music and perhaps in the generation of close media attention perhaps the videos are more important than the lyrics.
