(Video) UK Singer Jessie J Praises M'sian Artist Amsyar Leee; Compares Him To Freddie Mercury
It's not every day that we see one of our local talents take to the international stage and represent the country. Singer Shila Amzah has done so multiple times, having competed in singing competitions in China, most recently in 'Singing With Legends (我们的歌)'. It seems that Amsyar Leee, who first rose to fame for his Siti Nurhaliza impressions on TikTok, is following in her footsteps, giving it his all in the 'Sing! Asia' contest, which also took place in China. Not only did he deliver powerful performances, but he also earned praise from UK superstar Jessie J. Here's what she said about the Malaysian artist: Last week, singer Amsyar Leee announced that he was one of the contestants for the 'Sing! Asia' singing competition on the iQIYI streaming platform. 'It's been an incredible journey sharing the stage with talented artists from all across Asia. Every moment was filled with growth, emotion, and memories I'll carry forever. Thank you to everyone who's been cheering me on from the start,' he wrote in his captions. In the latest episode, the young star performed his rendition of Marsha Milan's 'Cinta'. As shown in the video below, the judges, audience and fellow contestants were blown away by his powerful vocals, especially when he hit the high notes. Shortly after his performance, each judge, including UK singer Jessie J, gave their feedback. The 'Bang Bang' songstress praised the Malaysian artist for his vocals, even comparing his presence to the legendary Freddie Mercury of Queen, stating that they both carry a certain aura. 'I think [your performance] was amazing! I'd love to see you use the stage more—use that power. You have this Freddie Mercury [angel-like aura], and I love Malaysia. Fantastic. I really do think you need to celebrate,' she told Amsyar. And celebrate he did, as it was announced at the end of the episode that the Perak-born performer had been crowned the King of Singers for the show's opening battle, having earned the most votes. Congratulations to Amsyar Leee on his latest achievement! Watch the full episode below, or skip to 27:15 for Jessie J's comments: Source: YouTube

Jessie J announces her first tour in 8 years as tickets go on sale this week
Jessie J has announced a new 'No Secrets' tour, which will see the pop star headline a string of intimate acoustic nights across Europe. The tour comes eight years after Jessie's R.O.S.E tour and follows on from her return to music with single releases No Secrets and Living My Best Life. Kicking off in October, the tour will begin in Amsterdam and arrive back in the UK on October 15, with shows in Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester and London, where the tour will end. Teasing that fans will hear a mix of her top hits and new music, the London-born star said, "Ready to hear some classics, some new stuff and some mum jokes and maybe even buy a T-shirt with my face on woiii oiii! Cannot wait to see you all it's been too long, I'm back baby!' General sale tickets for the tour are set to go on sale this Friday, 23 May, at 10am, while artist pre-sale tickets will be available on Wednesday, 21 May, at 10am. Jessie, known for hits such as Price Tag and Bang, Bang, took some time away from the spotlight over recent years as she welcomed her son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, who was born in May 2023. She shares the toddler with boyfriend Chanan Safir Colman. Despite now being in her element with partner Chanan and their little boy, the star's journey to motherhood hasn't been an easy one, as she suffered a miscarriage after first falling pregnant in 2021. At the time, Jessie announced on social media that she had fallen pregnant, but sadly suffered a miscarriage just a day after sharing the news - meaning she was forced to update her fans on what had happened. The 37-year-old then took to the stage in Los Angeles for a concert shortly after finding out that there was no longer a heartbeat during her third scan. Speaking to Elle about why she continued to perform despite the earth shattering news, Jessie explained: "I'd booked this acoustic residency, six back-to-back shows and I still wanted to do the show." She said she doesn't regret the shows, but is still unable to work out if she enjoyed playing them. Jessie added: "I realised there's an element to this life that makes you feel not quite human. That's a whole play on words in No Secrets: 'I chose the spotlight'. That instinct – to push through, to share – runs deep." Tickets for Jessie's upcoming tour can be purchased at

Jessie J reveals that motherhood is the best thing she has done as she makes career comeback after hiatus
Jessie J has revealed that she is 'living her best life' as a mother. The British pop star appeared on The Project on Monday and said that returning to her career as she experiences parenthood is doubly a blessing. 'Oh, being a mum, honestly' she replied when asked what 'living her best life' means to her now. 'It's the magic of my little Sky... I love my boy so much' she added, discussing son Sky, who she shares with partner Chanan Safir Colman. The 37-year-old welcomed her son with her basketballer boyfriend in May 2023. 'I'm living my best life, just enjoying this. I'm so grateful to be back and putting out music' she said. 'Being a mum as well and having a career and a child and having both, I'm loving it.' The pop star added that her son enjoys hearing her sing and shares her appreciation of music. 'Every time he hears me singing, he looks at everyone in the room and goes, "mummy's singing." 'He finishes the songs I sang to him when he was a baby. He sings it to me.' It comes after Jessie admitted she 'isn't too fussed' about getting married. She has been with Chanan, 41, for four years, but says she feels no pressure to tie the knot anytime soon. The Price Tag hitmaker says the couple will do it in their own time, and although she does expect they will wed 'one day', it's not something particularly important for them to do right now. 'We talk about it all the time, and we laugh about it all the time, and I'm sure we will, but we're not in any rush,' the mum-of-one - who shares son Sky with Chanan - told People magazine. She continued: 'I've always said that I'm not too fussed about getting married, and some people get really funny about that, but it's my own preference.' Jessie finds marriage 'quite contractual' but she is keen for them to affirm their love for one another. The pop star would prefer to do a ceremony of love and just have friends and family in attendance. 'But I'm not in any rush,' she added. 'I know he loves me. He knows I love him. We're good.' Jessie says that having a son together 'is the most locked in that we can feel with each other.' She said: 'He has exceeded my expectations as a father beyond my imagination. I'm so grateful that he is so present and just so willing to adapt around obviously my career.' On Friday Jessie sent fans into a frenzy after dropping a brand-new single and unveiling the stunning official artwork for the track. Following the release of her deeply personal and reflective song No Secrets last month, the singer has returned with Living My Best Life - a vibrant, feel-good anthem bursting with positivity.

Jessie J has admitted she 'isn't too fussed' about getting married. The singer, 37, has been with former basketball star Chanan Safir Colman for four years, but says she feels no pressure to tie the knot anytime soon.

Produced by GRAMMY-winning hitmaker Ryan Tedder, the new single is a celebration of joy and self-expression, serving as the perfect yin to No Secrets yang. The exuberant throwback track came to Jessie while driving through LA, with the best of Whitney Houston and Prince blaring from her Jeep. Speaking about the song, Jessie said: 'I love the sense of moving upwards, so Living My Best Life has that same feeling. It feels timeless, classic, 80s. It makes you want to dance.' In the newly released artwork, Jessie stuns in nothing but a brown blazer and oversized tortoiseshell sunglasses. Beaming during the shoot, she styled her brunette tresses in voluminous waves and accessorised with chunky gold hoop earrings.
