The songwriter claimed that IPhone speakers pick up bad singers in the audience when filming and when the videos of her performances are shared online she receives bad feedback.

Jessie told her fans: “If you know you can’t sing, no matter what you’ve been told at the family barbeque, keep it low,”

“These IPhones are on another level now. It will pick up your s***** version of Flashlight and it will be your voice and my face.

“I don’t deserve it.”

Jessie J then went on to say that she hasn’t been invited to the Brit Awards in 10 years and asked fans not to make it any “harder” for her by refraining from singing themselves.
