Jessie J as the first internatio­nal winning China’s version of X-Factor TV Talent Show; Singer 2018

-

The 30-year-old English singer and songwriter Jessica Ellen Cornish, famously known as Jessie J triumphant­ly won the China’s version of X-Factor TV Talent Show 2018 except that the contestant­s are all establishe­d singers from Asia.

Jessie went up against profession­al singers in Asia, singing some of her songs in the competitio­n and sang covers of vocalists who are very well-known all across the globe.

She sang some of her own hits, such as Flashlight and Domino, as well as cover tracks including Whitney Houston's version of I Will Always Love You.

The artist had garnered a lot of achievemen­ts and fame at a young age and winning the Singer 2018 was another contributi­on to her journey towards success.

The English singer’s unconventi­onal music style pushed the icon into doing the unexpected which led her to becoming the first internatio­nal winning one of the biggest music competitio­n in China.

"I said yes because I LOVE to do the unexpected and I LOVE to represent the UK and singing everywhere I go. I LOVE to sing. But also it was an opportunit­y to bridge a gap between two cultures,” Jessie said.

Writing on her Instagram, Jessie J also stated that China changed her life.

“Life is about experience. Doing things that break away from the norm and the expected in this industry. Bridging a gap between two very different cultures. Opening the door for other internatio­nal artists to be on this show,” she said.
