My Favorite Song - Nobody's Perfect

                                           Official Music Video Nobody's Perfect - Jessie J.

 The reason I decided to choose Jessie J’s ‘Nobody’s Perfect’ is because I personally think this is a very strong and successful song. Jessie J is a very talented singer who is also a great song writer. I write songs my self, and I have lots of respect how Jessie J turned out from a song writer to a world famous star.

The Artist
Jessica Ellen Cornish or better known as Jessie J, was born in London on March 27th 1988. She became known by writing songs for Miley Cyrus ( Party in the USA ) and Justin Timberlake. In 2010 she became known with her famous song ‘Do It Like a Dude’

         song: Do It Like A Dude - Jessie J.

Thinks really went crazy when she won the Critics Choice award in February 2011 at the BRIT awards, after realising her song ‘price tag’ with rapper B.O.B, she had given herself a spot in the famous music industry. And the rest is History.

The song.
Nobody’s Perfect, from Jessie’s debut album ‘Who You Are’ (2011) was written by Jessie herself and Claude Kelly (who wrote songs for the Backstreet boys, Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, The wanted and more). It was released at March 27th 2011. The song was produced by Andre Brisset and Kelly, recorded (at the Santisound Studios in California, LA) by Ben Chang, mixed by Jean-Marie Horvat, however the Single version (video 1) was remixed by Tom Elmhirts and is slightly different from the album version ( video 2). Nobody’s Perfect was mastered by Tom Coyne. The Song’s genre is Pop/R&B.

Nobody’s Perfect stood number 9 in the UK, becoming Jessie’s third top 10 single.

Meaning of the song
The song refers to a struggle about perfection and regret over past indiscretions. It’s about letting someone that you love down, but at the same time trying to show that person that not everybody’s perfect, and that every person has his or her flaws. It’s about the regret of something you’ve done in your past. After reading some comments on youtube and the internet, I found out this is a very reliable song for most people. We do thing that we sometimes regret and whish we could turn back in time to do it all differently.

The song now-a-days.
As with most famous songs these days, people cover them and try to make them sound different and original. I’ve been looking up some covers and here are some results:

                                           Kate mcGill

                                           Alexa Goddard

                                          Nicky Ekkebus

And Jessie’s acoustic versions
What a voice!



quite understandable that it's my favorite song right?
Bye Bye!
