Jessie J, O2 Institute, Birmingham - review and pictures
What the crowd of Jessie J's first performance of her new tour found was someone new from the poppy and upbeat artist from 2015 when she last performed in England.
She felt more like Jessica Ellen Cornish, her birth name, at the O2 Institute show as she poured her heart into the audience and befriended them.
It was disappointing for fans of the type of music from her first album, Who You Are, released in 2011, but exciting for fans of the artist herself. She was raw and honest, donning a long black dress with slicked-back hair.
She started with a powerful rendition of Who You Are and performed her latest single Think About That, a song which fans knew would mean a different chapter for the chart-topping star.
Her parents were in the crowd, which is fitting as her new and fourth album, R.O.S.E, is named after her mother.
The 29-year-old shouted: "Are you ready to have some fun? Lets go."
She truly showed off unique vocals which required no editing or to be complimented by an extravagant stage set or light show.
