7. Jessie J
Jessica Cornish is best known by her stage name Jessie J. She got her start writing music for other artists such as Miley Cyrus and Chris Brown. Eventually she signed with Universal Republic to display her own vocal skills and has since been recognized as one of the greatest voices in the industry. Her debut single Do it Like a Dude was a huge success and topped the UK singles charts. Other singles such as Price Tag and Mama Knows Best followed, and Jessie J has become well-known for her unconventional musical style. With a strong, soulful voice backed by upbeat and electropop instrumentation Jessie J has continued to wow listeners and gather a large amount of award nominations and wins. She represented England as she performed live in front of millions during the summer Olympics of 2012. She was a judge and vocal coach on the phenomenal, worldwide reality competition The Voice for two seasons. With many incarnations in many different countries Jessie remains one of the few who is actually worthy of judging and training fellow vocalists. She recently released her sophomore album Alive in October. What makes Jessie one of the greatest new musicians is certainly her voice. Many have considered hers to be one of the greatest voices in music this generation and those previous. She exhibits a great amount of control and hits notes both high and low that many are incapable of. With her working to train the next generation of vocalists we have plenty to look forward to.
