I’ve loved Miss Jessie James since she treated me to a guilty pleasure song called “Wanted”. And after I wore that out, I discovered “Guilty” on the old Imeem music network (RIP, *glares at MySpace*). While the latter still resides in my iTunes 25 Most Played tracks, I’ve just added another song to my iPod, Jessie’s latest, “When You Say My Name”, which she recently performed at a Denver Broncos halftime show, and announced on her newly redesigned website.
Take a listen below:
But I’d be willing to bet, Jessie James’ version of “Dear John” is 2345678 times better. Nothing against Taylor Swift, I just think, based on clever writing and amazing voice Jessie has, that it would be damn near impossible for anyone, especially Swifty, to top it.
Here’s what Jessie had to say about it.
It is kinda wild taylor swift has a dear john song too…i have a feeling they are very different stories though. hers sounds kinda sad

My story was just a silly joke bout john…nothing serious…any girl wld be nuts to get too close to that guy. radio is as close as i wantJessie James

This also adds to my opinion that Jessie James version > Taylor Swift version. I like a snarky song better than a “woe is me” song any day of the week! Besides, how many “he did me wrong” songs is she going to release? Seems a little played out at this point. Someone call me when TayTay releases a party anthem or a “I don’t need guys, I got my girls” type of song. Perhaps this is why I’m not the biggest country music fan?
I don’t care what she says: Pop Jessie James >>>>>>>> Country Jessie James.
Further evidence of this can be found in her new music video for “Dear John”, which is a cleverly written song that is basically a shout out to John Mayer (Did you hear all the references to his songs? “Stop waiting on the world to change“, “Gravity is pulling me your way”, “Say what you need to say” — Ahhhhhh, got it now?)
Anyway, peep the video below: » Read the rest of the entry..
I don’t know what it is about Miss James, but she absolutely KILLS every ballad she records. She made me an instant fan when I first heard “Guilty” (sooooo should have been a single off of her debut record), and I’m even more impressed with the simplistic “Nothing More To Say”, which made its online premiere today.

What do you think? I think this is a surefire hit, provided Mercury decides to promote it properly…
Fun summer song with a great video to match! Although I wonder if there’s a more pop-oriented mix…
ETA: Here is the pop version. It’s late, so I really can’t tell that much a difference lol
Music to my ears; or soon to be my eyes!

Don’t know about anyone else, but I could listen to Jessie James perform (live) all day long! Love her voice and that she sings so well live!
