Jessie J's new tour dates

Everyone loves Jessie J right now. Even if you're not the biggest fan of her music, there's something so wonderfully charming and down to earth about her personality that you can't help but fall for her a little.

It's also fair to say she's had Quite A Lot of success this year already with her first three singles storming up the charts - her latest, Nobody's Perfect is finally out 'properly' this week with some bonus remixes/alternate versions on iTunes.

Best of all though is that the delightful Jessie has announced a whole heap of new UK tour dates. The rush for her last tour was absolutely mad; venues like London were sold out in under fifteen minutes - so if you didn't manage to catch her last time, now's your chance - just remember to be quick!

And just as a footnote, it's amazing to see Jessie already including an arena date on her tour like Cardiff - a real sign of how far she's already come.

The new UK tour dates are as follows:


OCTOBER


MONDAY 17 BIRMINGHAM O2 ACADEMY
WEDNESDAY 19 DONCASTER DOME
FRIDAY 21 MANCHESTER O2 APOLLO
SATURDAY 22 LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY
SUNDAY 23 BOURNEMOUTH BIC
TUESDAY 25 EDINBURGH USHER HALL
WEDNESDAY 26 BRIDLINGTON SPA
THURSDAY 27 PLYMOUTH PAVILIONS
MONDAY 29 CARDIFF MOTORPOINT ARENA
SUNDAY 30 LEEDS O2 ACADEMY

NOVEMBER

THURSDAY 03 BRIGHTON CENTRE

(Video) Jessie J - Nobody's Perfect

You've got to appreciate the way pop videos debut these days, subtly creeping out of the TV channels via home footage, hastily recorded on someone's phone. So while it means we have to wait a bit longer to see Jessie J's brilliant new video for Nobody's Perfect in all its full glory, it also means we get a cheeky look at it right now.

I love the whole intense thing Jessie does here, looking straight at the camera for so much of the video. It worked really well in the Price Tag video and she plays to her strengths again here, injecting her presence into the song.

Indeed, Nobody's Perfect is arguably stronger than her past two singles; perhaps not quite as obviously so in a radio friendly sense, but for me, it holds more power, more strength. The video really seems to convey this too, playing up all that striking imagery, as found in Price Tag's best moments; the puppet scenes.

The whole video is set in a big, old fashioned The Shining style hotel; all very Gothic and atmospheric.The real strength of it is the way it conveys the intensity and sheer force of personality that makes Jessie the star she is. In the past few weeks we've really seen her coming into her own; you can see it in her interviews, feel it in her performances. You need only look at the number of followers she has on twitter and the amount of column inches generated by her at the moment to see how in awe of Jessie everyone is. And the Nobody's Perfect video is the next logical step in that evolution.
