"I like how Simon Cowell says exactly what he thinks, whether people like it or not," she explained. "I don't care if people don't like me and I'm prepared for that.
"Even if they are on my team, that doesn't mean I'm going to say it was good if it wasn't. I'm not a robot. I sing out of tune sometimes so I'm not scared to tell someone else if they have. I'm going to be honest. That's what the industry needs more of right now."
The Voice UK will reportedly launch on BBC One on Saturday, March 24.

Watch Jessie J talk about The Voice below:
Jessie J is the best thing to hit music in years. Great voice, great stage presence. Told my partner that when I die, I want to be reincarnated as JJ (not taking into consideration she'll still be around!). If people don't like her, she won't miss their diss. Too much goin' on.

I get what Holly means, if you stand next to Jessie you can almost feel her enthusiasm. I like it, but I think some people hate her because of it..
