Jessie J has reportedly agreed to assist Tulisa Contostavlos at her upcoming judges houses stage of The X factor.
The ‘Do It Like A Dude’ hitmaker is said to be set to join the N-Dubz star in Greece, as she whittles down eight hopeful acts to just four which she can then take on to the live shows next month.
The wanted have become the latest stars to criticise Cher Lloyd’s debut single.
The 17 year old singer unveiled Swagger Jagger last month and was met with a wave of negative comments from fans and musical celebrities alike.
Speaking about the single, Tom from boyband The Wanted admitted that he doesn’t love the tune, telling MTV:
“I don’t like it. It’s like a nursery rhyme.”
Jay added: “I think if she had come out at the right time it could have been great, but Jessie J’s done what she’s kind of doing but properly, like a great voice and great stage presence.”
He continued: “Just because Jessie’s done it organically I think that people who like that sort of thing have got it from her. A lot of X Factor fans will definitely want to hear Cher, so I’m sure she’ll do well.”
Nathan then waded in on the discussion and was slightly more positive about the teenage star. He said:
“She could be like a younger version of Jessie J. I haven’t heard the single so I don’t know much about it, but I think that’s where they’re taking her, like a younger version. A kiddy version.”
