hey guys-just thought i'd let you all know i found this GREAT new artist named jessie james. i heard about her when i logged in the other day. she's a young singer/songwriter from georgia with a powerful voice and a lot to say to the world. she's definitely southern, but her music isn't entirely country. she brings different elements into her music that make it stand out from all the other pop-country out there. "blue jeans" is a sort of southern hip-hop song. "my cowboy" reminds me of shania twain's "any man of mine" because jessie tells potential boyfriends exactly what it will take to be her man. it made me laugh because she was blunt about it, but still respectful...just like a real southern belle. it reminded me of my grandma. her vocals are up there with christina agulera and mariah carey. she wrote or co-wrote every song on the cd-which takes guts. this girl definitely says what she thinks and writes and sings from her gut-which i love. her songs are catchy, stuck-in-your-head stuff. it's a little bit country, a little bit rock, a little bit pop and a lot of attitude. i love it! check her out! you can listen to her whole cd "jessie james" on her myspace: www.myspace.com/jessiejamesmusic . for more information about her, go to http://www.islanddefjam.com/artist/bio.aspx?artistID=7325. her cd comes out on the 11th. -fallon
