Discography:

• Who You Are (2011)

Provides examples of:

• Acting for Two: All three adults in the "Who's Laughing Now" video are played by Jessie J, along with herself.
• Adults Are Useless: All three adults in the "Who's Laughing Now" video are aloof to Young Jessie J's actions.
• Alice Allusion: The tea party table in "Nobody's Perfect".
• Apathetic Teacher: The teacher in "Who's Laughing Now" is shown at her desk rolling her eyes and showing disinterest at the chaos in her room.
• Bi the Way: She is openly bisexual. But some sources (mainly primary, fewer secondary sources) state that this is Played for Laughs.
• Blue Eyes
• Black Sheep Hit: "Do It Like A Dude" is not like anything on her debut album... for better or worse.
• Bob Haircut: Jessie J's signature hairstyle.

• Girl Posse: A younger version is shown tormenting Young Jessie J in "Who's Laughing Now".
• The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: The youngest of three sisters, she describes herself as the odd one out growing up with two academically minded siblings whilst being more inclined towards singing and arts.

• Intercourse with You: Under her real name of Jessica Cornish she released a song called "Sexy Silk", which is part of the Easy A soundtrack. It definitely fits the trope.

• The Ladette: "Do It Like a Dude" is centered around the "man-dem".
• Melismatic Vocals
• Precision F-Strike: Although "Jessie J" already curses in both "Do It Like a Dude" and "L.O.V.E.", she drops a f-bomb in the otherwise clean "Nobody's Perfect" for good effect.
• Singer Namedrop: In "Do It Like a Dude", "Nobody's Perfect" and the music video of "Nobody's Perfect".
• She Cleans Up Nicely: When going to award shows she has shown that she can clean up well as opposed to her usual unkempt look.
• Shiny Midnight Black
• Surreal Music Video: Particularly Price Tag and Nobody's Perfect.
• Take That: The whole point of "Who's Laughing Now?" at former classmates.

• True Companions: She is best friends with fellow British singer Adele, with whom she went to school.
