Jessie J: I Quit Music, Deleted An Album, Then Changed My Mind | E139

This is probably the most heart-wrenchingly raw episode to date - especially the last half. But the lessons, growth & re-direction that come from such a vulnerable conversation are remarkable. These episodes are always very different, the guests are always so diverse, and in all honesty, I can imagine you never really know what to expect. Jessie had been going through a lot of pain when we sat down - so that’s where this conversation went - one of my principles when having these conversations is to not try and force them in my own direction, that tends to lead to a more honest raw path.

Jessie was headlining at the Isle of MTV concert in Malta in 2013 and staying at same hotel as us. By the pool my 7 year old daughter was desperate to say hello but too scared and got upset and shied away. I approached Jessie and told her my daughter was too afraid to come over. Jessie asked where my daughter was and walked over to my crying daughter and lowered herself to daughter’s level and soothed her and made her smile. My daughter is now almost 18 and neither of us have forgotten the compassion Jessie showed. It meant so much to us. Thank you Jessie. I hope you get to live your life healthy and happy. ❤️❤️❤️

She needs a team to match her talent. One of the best singers there is and has a platform nowhere near big enough. Love her and love this interview.

I love the way Steven allows his guest to spill their guts and never interrupts them. This is so unusual and that’s why his interviews are SO good.

As I discovered this interview this week, I checked her IG to see how she is now and I was so teary to see she's pregnant, still singing, and with someone. the fact she said in this interview "I wasn't supposed to have this child alone"... Jessie J has such an emotional intelligence but also a faith in herself. She deserves it alk

'Life is too short to sit anywhere other than where you're supposed to be and if you're sitting at a table where you don't feel like you're being fed even if you're bringing a plate of food, you politely just leave.' Such an authentic, honest, humble, vulnerable yet extremely strong inspirational woman ❤

I love how you let her speak her feelings without interrupting, this such a good example of a host truly listening to what their guest is saying!

I just finished listening to this interview and went online and saw Jessie J just gave birth 🎉 never been so happy for someone I don’t know. Congratulations ❤ Jessie. Beautiful times ahead 💖

"You're grieving the life that you imagined.. that you dreamed of" I burst into tears upon hearing her say those words. I just had a miscarriage last month (it was supposed to be my first baby and only a few know it) Truth is, it's not really how long the pregnancy lasted, it's how you processed the idea that a beautiful life is starting to grow inside you and it's gone just like that. It pains literally and figuratively. My heart goes to those who experienced and who are experiencing it right now. I hope you'd all stay strong but if you feel like grieving, then feel it and don't try to speed up the process. Grieving doesn't have a timeline.

This interview was a shock. She is still seeking her truth and she has been successful and a great talent. Shes in her thirties a millionaire and she is still trying to find herself. No wonder Whitney Houston said there is a difference between wanting to sing and what the music industry wants you to sing. Fame is a dangerous thing.

She doesn’t need a manager. She needs a mentor.

This is the best interview i have ever seen. It is so rare to see a person be so completely honest, true to themselves, and also trying to look to improve themselves and talk about that. I cried several times listening to her, she was able to get across so well how she feels. That's rare. And I love how respectful the interviewer was, not pushing, not nagging, not trying to be funny, not trying to steal the show. He really created a stage for her to shine, to be herself. Gently encouraging, respectful and kind.

I am 70 and love this woman’s music and talent. Got to see her live at the Albert Hall in 2018, so glad I did.

She’s been through so much yet tries to stay so positive. Takes a special human being to be able to do that.

Jessie has been so brave to share her story so openly with us, this episode was truly a gift 🙏🏾

She’s just everything. Her passion is infectious. You feel her soul in everything she says.

That little boy story in the hospital at night is just so heartbreaking 😢

I watch all the these episodes and very rarely comment but this one is the most real,honest and genuine one,she speaks about her feelings like she's just talking to herself yet it resonates with almost all of us.. brilliant watch,I was gripped from her first word.

Steven Bartlett - what a lovely, empathetic, compassionate and genuinely curious interviewer. No ego. No talking over. Kind, space-giving and a great listener, with intelligent and articulate questions - Way to make your guest feel comfortable, draw out the best in them and allow them to shine. Fabulous, authentic interview.

I never knew how much Jessie has gone through... I was actually looking forward to her new album after "I Want Love" I hope she can make new music soon that she actually likes and is satisfied with. We'll be here for you, queen!
