Jessie J Opens Up About Her Sexuality As She Tones Down Look For US 'Glamour'

Jessie J is that you?

We're so used to garish catsuits and colourful wigs, that seeing Jess looking all pretty and girly in a nice frock is a bit of a shock.

The Voice star toned down her whole look for a shoot with US Glamour magazine, where she also opened up about her sexuality.

Jessie - who is openly bisexual - hit out at the media for trying to define her by her sexual preference.

“The frustrating thing is that if I was with a guy right now, I’d be [considered] straight," she said. "But If I was with a girl, I’d be 'gay'.

"When I was with my ex-girlfriend, I used to take her around and say, 'This is my girlfriend.' People would be comfortable with it because I was.

"That’s what annoys me about the media. I’ve never tried to make [my sexuality] something that’s going to put me in newspapers or magazines. I’m never, ever going to let it be something that sells my music.

"Sexuality shouldn’t define you. It should be part of who you are."

The star also revealed she's not currently seeing anyone as she is too busy - what with her music and The Voice commitments and all.

"At the moment I’m single, and I’m happy and learning about myself. Music is the love of my life right now,” she said.

The full interview appears in the May issue of US Glamour.

Anything for publicity,I'm surprised KP hasn't latched onto this one.

Ok I admit I had never heard of her until the Voice. So couldn't have missed that much.
But who 'really cares'. which way she turns. I certainly don't. Just read the article so what dioes that make me? Sad I suppose.

About the only time you need to know about a woman's sexuality is if there is a real prospect of your getting close enough for sex. Seeing as winning a triple rollover Euro Millions lottery three times in a row, even though you haven't bought a ticket, is more likely, it's entirely academic. She remains a nice bit of eye candy irrespective of her sexual preferences

I also hear that she is a talented singer/songwriter if you get bored of rating her physically.

Interesting statement with the assumption that you would wish to have 'sex' with someone.
Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder so enjoy.

lets face it folks, if these so called celebs not in news for a day they prob admit to being trisexual nymphs from jupiter.
they cant get it through their skulls that this world revolves round the sun, not them.

no body cares which sexual orientation you prefer.

Why do all celebs feel a need to discuss their sexual orientation?

I don't know who she and haven't read the story as it is an exercise in self publicity (for her, not me). Like so much in this stupid web site.
08:48 AM on 04/13/2012
Don't bother to read or comment then.
04:18 PM on 04/13/2012
Thanks, but I'll comment if I want.

She is a good singer. I am not a fan of her music but at least she is open and honest. Good on her

Oh come on, giving an interview in a magazine about how she's not talking about her sexuality! Oldest trick in the Z lister guide to getting a headline!

The entire problem with this country is that we accept that anything goes. !!!!!!!

There is so much going on that in this sad world why get so annoyed with a girl lady's sexuality, the media should leave her alone and get on with the real news.
