Jessie J "Who You Are"

"Price  Tag" is about living your life, and not worrying about money,or let it it control you to the point where you do not even experience life because you are too busy thinking about money to buy shizz you don't need. "I't Not about the money money money/we don't need your money,money, money/We Just wanna make the world dance/ Forget about the price tag" sing jessie J as B.o.B drops a verse while playing this nice riff. This has been said so many times, that "Nobody's Perfect," but no matter how many times it is said there are still jerks that treat others like crud because they believe they are better than everyone else. It's basically about how she made a mistake in the relationship and she wants him back, but he is not sure to give her another chance.I like the attitude and the vocal style she brings on this song(including those acrobatics) as well as the percussion."Abracadabra"  has this really nice hook,  I don't know if it's witchcraft but the song just seems to put a spell on ya, like magic! Or Witchcraft. So her man is a Magician?  "Big White Room (Live)" is a real nice intimate song that many can relate to, or not, but everyone has felt they were going crazy at least once.. How sometimes one just needs to get out. Case of hay-fever? "Casualty of Love" is a real soulful throwback with top-notch vocals from Jessie J, and the heartfelt lyrics with a rythym section that cannot help but sway, or ..You know what? This song is perfect for a slow dance with one's better half, yet a little quicker paced.It is always nice to see a "Rainbow" after the rain, and this song is about how we may come from different backgrounds and have different struggles, but we are all human beings and we all bleed the same (for the most part), so treat each other like human beings. The song, of course is very positive in message and sound, even when relaying a story or two of life's struggles. "Who's Laughing Now" a------- ? It's an anthem dedicated to the haters who indirectly made you stronger.is about using the negative energy that is spewed when someone makes fun of you or bullies you and convert it into positive energy, inspiration and drive to make yourself a better person. It has this real addictive beat and great vocals from J, as well as the heartfelt lyrics taken from her bullied past."Do It Like A Dude" has an awesome intro and andaddictive hook, and statement that she can do what you du-de; very addictive.  "Mamma Knows Best" is a very brassy throwback to the time of Sinatra,possibly, with an update; coool. "L.O.V.E." is a real nice song that was not going to be written because she didn't believe in love until she met the right one. She declares she was not going to write another love song until she found love like Haley Williams I guess he is The Only Exception. Ok, now it's time to "Stand Up," and there are a lot of uplifting and truthful verses in this song, but am not sure which one to choose because they are all good, and it has a very positive message about being yourself, and embrace your inner child, and "you let a frown become your normality/You don't set an example for the youth of our humanity/If you spend everyday wishing for the next to come/Aged and lifeless is what (Yes!) you'll become. Yeah Yeah! "I Need This" big soaring chorus with a lot of heart and these soaring instrumetals, as well as that awesome arepeggiating riff that is rockin, but does not tip the song over as the shimmering piano keys bring the song to a nice finish, and "I need this space/Just like you need it/I need this time/Time to clear up my mind/Wait, did you hear that?/Hear my heart beat/I need this feeling". "Who You Are" has a very uplifting message and has really nice instrumentals; encapsulates the record in the fact that it has heart and soul.If  I could only choose seven things that made you who you are they would be: Nobody's Perfect, Abracadabra, Who's Laughing Now?, Do It Like A Dude, Mamma Knows Best, I Need This, and Who You Are.
