Regular international flights is part of her job although she admits to being terrified of heights.
“Jet lag has become normal for us now,” she said, saying she keeps herself busy on flights watching movies and colouring in with Mandala books. “Flying isn’t my strongest point, being in the air terrifies me so if there’s Wi-Fi I call my mum constantly. We talk and send each other pictures and stuff. Getting to travel the world and meeting my fans is what I love about flying though.”
Jessie J performed four songs, including a cover of Prince’s Purple Rain, which she added to her set list before he died. “I sang Purple Rain because I feel very lucky that I can sing it, that that is what I do for a living,” she said. “Prince was one of the few that were left that was authentic to his craft. Weirdly, I added it to my set maybe six or 10 months before he passed. I just love him and wish he wasn’t in the sky.”
The Voice is due to wrap filming in the next fortnight with Jessie J then set to head back to the UK. She recently lent her voice to the character of Brooke, a sloth, on new Hollywood animated feature, Ice Age Collision Course.
“It didn’t feel like work, it was really fun and I was just kind of being really silly putting on voices,” she said. “Not having to worry about what you look like while you’re recording makes a big difference.”
