Jessie originally found success as a song writer for the likes of Chris Brown, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake and Miley Cyrus before current label "Ireland" encouraged the singer to keep "Do it Like a Dude" to herself rather then giving it to Rihanna which was the original plan.

 

Performances on 1Xtra's Mista Jam Show and later performances with Jools Holland brought the artist to a wider public which led to a host of sold out London shows and a buzz of media anticipation around the Debut album, "Who You Are" making her a prime candidate for "2011's Sound of Shortlist".

Do It Like A Dude Lyrics
Stomp stomp I've arrived
Drop the beat, nasty face

Flyin' flyin' flyin' flyin' through the sky
In my spaceship

Screenshots
Close-ups of the artist

 It is clear that the genre is R&B in this shot due to her make up and edgy style.

Her original costume attracts the audience as it is imaginative and this one of the features which makes her successful.





Different aspects of the narrative and the performance

This shot demonstrates a very unussual aspect of the narrative suggesting that the women in the video can are independent and can perform the traditional carving the meat which is ussually performed by the male on thanks giving.
