Jessie J's Rendition Of "On My Own" From Les Misérables Will Make Your Arm Hairs Stand Up

Jessie J's Rendition Of "On My Own" From Les Misérables Will Make Your Arm Hairs Stand Up




Jessie J's flawlessly powerful voice is something we've been reminded of a couple of times during her career. From her 2016 rendition of "Grease Is the Word" in Grease: Live to her several show-stopping performances of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing," Jessie's proven that she can belt with the perfect of 'em. Although if you needed a little bit refresher of her flawless vocals, the singer took to Instagram to share an impromptu cover of a Les Misérables classic that will make every hair on your body stand up within seconds.


"Didn't practice before this video," Jessie casually wrote alongside a clip of her singing "On My Own," one of the musical's greatest hits. "I just sat down and pressed play and record and sang this for the initial in over 20 years. Whenever I need clarity or to calm my heart and mind, I sing. Been that way since I was 10 years old." Jessie then took the possibility to poke fun at how emotional she appears in the video, which is likely due to her background in musical theatre.


"For those who don't know. My training is musical theatre," she added. "I have routinely wanted to be on the stage. It's also an excellent way for me to be able to see where I can perfect vocally. My timing, pitch, delivery, diction etc. I do this a lot. Nevertheless thought I would share today. Practice makes better." And while we completely agree that more practice never hurts, we can probably also agree that the exceedingly talented singer didn't leave much room for improvement.


And we're not the only ones impressed by Jessie's immaculate cover. Rachel Zegler, the actress and singer set to play Maria in Steven Spielberg's upcoming remake of West Side Story, is also loving it. "This. Is. Everything," she wrote with a kiss mark emoji. Debbie Gibson was similarly captivated, thanking Jessie for beginning her day off on "quite literally, a high note." Right now, excuse us as we watch this on repeat.
