She’s setting the record straight! Jessie J took to Instagram to share a powerful post with fans about the authenticity of her voice. “Over the years, I have learnt it’s best to not react to the negative things people say about me, my voice and my shows,” the “Masterpiece” songstress, 31, wrote on Monday, July 8. 

“BUT one thing that still gets under my skin, is the amount of people that continuously accuse me of not singing live and using audio-tune on my shows,” Channing Tatum’s ladylove expressed. “I just want to say this …  I have been touring and performing for over 10 years. I work hard. I practice. I am extremely disciplined. I make huge sacrifices to be able to perform LIVE with my band every night. I am obsessed with technique and breathing. Therefore, I have made it my mission to always BE FULL LIVE,” Jessie continued. 

“I do not mime. I have never used auto-tune — in the studio or on stage. Ask anyone I have ever recorded with or any of my crew. I specially ask for it to be removed if I work with someone new and they add it to my mix,” the U.K. native assured. “I have never lip-synced. I LOVE what I do and I love to do things the traditional way.”

Over the years I have learnt it’s best to not react to the negative things people say about me, my voice and my shows. BUT one thing that still gets under my skin, is the amount of people that continuously accuse me of not singing live and using audio tune on my shows. I just want to say this… I have been touring and performing for over 10 years. I work hard. I practice. I am extremely disciplined. I make huge sacrifices to be able to perform LIVE with my band every night. I am obsessed with technique and breathing. Therefore I have made it my mission to always BE FULL LIVE. I do not mime. I have never used auto tune, in the studio or on stage. Ask anyone I have ever recorded with or any of my crew. I specially ask for it to be removed if I work with someone new and they add it to my mix. I have never lip synced. I LOVE what I do and I love to do things the traditional way. This is all I know. I grew up listening to the greats who never mimed. I just want to be remembered as a great singer. So I work at and want to be the best version of ME I can be. I have to FEEL it. I cannot do that miming. Thats my truth. I am a fair and honest player with myself. I don’t cheat. So if I’m off I’m off. I watch it back and practice until it’s better and improved. I care about mirroring the audience and when the audience give their all, Its only right I do too. I am also not throwing shade to anyone that mines or lip syncs. Everybody has to live their own truth and their own way as an artist. But truthfully I grow tired of people convincing themselves, and trying to convince others of something that is not MY TRUTH. If you don’t believe in it, or believe in me. Don’t speak on it, or speak on me. Simple. The “please” at the beginning of the video is flat af, and the end is off too… so excuse me why I go and practice it 1009973039 times until it’s not. Bye. This song is called “Easy on me” “Please don’t be so hard So hard on my heart I’m a delicate flower trying to grow inside your arms Go easy on me Go easy on me Go easy on me”

Jessie went on to note that her decision to be 100 percent authentic onstage was something she decided at a very young age. “This is all I know. I grew up listening to the greats who never mimed. I just want to be remembered as a great singer. So, I work at and want to be the best version of ME I can be. I have to FEEL it. I cannot do that miming. That’s my truth. I am a fair and honest player with myself.”

Jessie also wanted to make sure that her followers understood that she wasn’t throwing anyone in the industry under the bus with her powerful message! “I don’t cheat. So if I’m off, I’m off. I watch it back and practice until it’s better and improved. I care about mirroring the audience and when the audience give their all, it’s only right I do too. I am also not throwing shade to anyone that mines or lip-syncs,” she explained. “Everybody has to live their own truth and their own way as an artist. But truthfully, I grow tired of people convincing themselves, and trying to convince others of something that is not MY TRUTH.”

Last but certainly not least, Jessie made it clear that whether you accept her truth or not, she’s still going to be the best artist she can be. “If you don’t believe in it or believe in me, don’t speak on it or speak on me. Simple.”

Simple, indeed! Keep rocking, Jessie J.
