This weekend, British pop singer Jessie J will perform live on the
iconic "Saturday Night Live" stage, where she will be singing her tune
"Price Tag."
But Jessie won't be going at it alone. She'll be joined by B.o.B, who
makes a cameo on the feel-good song off her forthcoming debut album, Who
You Are. "It's the first time we've ever performed it together, so dot
dot dot, to be continued," she explained to MTV News about her big gig
this coming Saturday. "I'm so excited. It's so funny about being a
'celebrity.' It's funny 'cause I've felt like I've gained like 15 jobs
[such as model, presenter, stylist, etc.] and then I go, 'Oh yeah, I
sing,' and then you go into rehearsals and it's like, 'This is why I do
it.' I'm so excited."
Jessie added that being from across the pond and so early on in her pop
career made getting invited to play the sketch-comedy show a
particularly great honor. "I think it's equally as big and probably even
more special for a British artist because we're British and I think if
it's big for an American artist, it's even bigger [for us]," she
explained. "Adele's done it recently and I'm so proud of her and Tinie
Tempah's blowing up here and I feel like the British movement is coming
and I'm flying the flag and to be asked to do 'SNL' is part of history. I
feel like Sunday morning's going to be so different."
With a couple days left until the show, which will be hosted by Zach
Galifianakis, Jessie was hoping that maybe she'd also get the
opportunity to flex her comedic muscle in a skit. "I'd love to, but I
don't know yet," she said, excitedly. "[I'd love to do] something that
would make me look mega stupid, 'cause I like looking stupid."
