Could it be a " sex " thing ? . Most artists suffer in US I f they are not 100 % hetero . Is she bi? She's straight. She actually caught some heat within the LGBT community for referring to her past bisexuality as a "phase."

She was, but then she said in an interview last year that it was a 'phase' for her (she clarified that it's not a phase for everybody but as kanimal pointed out, she caught quite a bit of flack for that). Regardless, I'm not sure most people in the US ever knew about her sexual orientation, so I don't think that's it. There is a disconnect that I can't explain but part of the problem is simply a lack of a presence to the general public. A bunch of people thought "Domino" was a Katy Perry song for example, so Jessie didn't even get associated with her own hit half the time.

She's kind of in the same bucket as Nicole Scherzinger. People recognize her when they see her, but they aren't exactly sure who she is/why the face looks familiar. Nicole was never able to change that, so Jessie better figure out what Nicole did wrong ASAP and and do the opposite.

It feels like she thinks she needs to find the general songs that will do well in the us... she needs to release the songs that are good... not just songs that are generic enough to do well in the us! Masterpiece is still rising though.... at 142..

At the time of Price tag etc , she made a big thing about being gay , always tweeting lesbian thoughts etc , then she said she was bi , as it became obvious that some people were not warming to this . For the third album she suddenly became a man hungry heterosexual and announced in detail that everything before had all been a " phase " .

There is a going to be a performance of Masterpiece on The Voice US tonight... I expect it to rise to the top 50 or so! It has to keep its momentum though!

It's at 25 on iTunes in the US! It really needs support from radio!

Was she on "The Voice" again? Do the contestants performances usually boost songs up this much?

Masterpiece is such a great song. Deserves some support from radio. It's also perfect for graduations so we're nearing that time of year.

A bunch of people thought "Domino" was a Katy Perry song for example, so Jessie didn't even get associated with her own hit half the time. "Domino" is a Katy Perry song to Americans. One of the funniest things I remember from last year was when I was reading a crappy NYLON article about how Jessie J ha broken big in the U.S. with her song "Bang Bang!" and how before she was unable to have a major hit, but did score with "Price Tag" and was the writer of Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A." There was NOOOO mention at all of "Domino" and it summed up how people view her. Funny thing is...of all people, my father knows who Jessie J is, and she did get some nice exposure with PITCH PERFECT. The problem is song selection. Also, we have to remember that Adriana Grande and Nicki Minaj were the reasons 'Bang Bang' was a hit...not because of Jessie J. :/ They killed this season for her with 'Burnin Up.'

I know a lot of people who think they should stop trying making Jessie J happen in the USA because it's not going to happen, but i simply think her label needs to do a better job with the releases.
It's true that she won't be the female equivalent of Ed Sheeran or Sam Smith, not even Who you are that was massive in the UK, carry a lot of sales in the USA, but with the right strategy whe could have a good bunch of hits.
The last era they totally do wrong not releasing anything after Domino. Domino was a big hit, people liked Who you are, that song even was in the itunes top 100 for a while, but they never released who you are or even any other song.
Now they had Bang, bang, but they totally spoiled with Burning up. I don't think the song was a problem itself, the problem is Jessie is not the kind of artist who is able to carry a song for the simple fact that the previous one was a hit. She is going to work harder on promos, maybe touring in small venues in the USA. Anyway, at least with this album she is able to put her songs on the radio, something that didn't happen with the previous one (i don't even know if they tried)
