Composition
"Price Tag" is an up-tempo, "feel good" track, inflected with reggae bounce and a sing-along chorus with strong vocals from Jessie J, slinky guitars, and a vintage backbeat.[6][7] The melody in the verse bears a strong resemblance to Halo by Beyoncé. Lyrically, the song is about Jessie J trying to make the world dance by forgetting about how much money we have.[6] The drum beat for the song is a sample taken from "Zimba Ku" by Black Heat. [8]Critical reception
The song has received generally positive reviews from music critics. Popjustice gave the song a positive review, saying it was a "ridiculously addictive introduction to an effortlessly great, new(ish) talent."[9] The Guardian's Caspar Smith called both the song and J's previous single 'Do It Like A Dude' "planet-saving R&B-based hits-in-waiting."[10] AOL Radio's James Wells praised the song, saying that it "shows off the tirelessly upbeat, Motown-tinged singing and songwriting for which Jessie J has become known." He went on to contrast the song from other tracks from J's upcoming debut album Who You Are, calling it less aggressive and more "about the positive vibes."[7] Nick Levine of Digital Spy compared the song to Miley Cyrus's "Party in the U.S.A." (2009), which was co-written by Jessie J. He said, "Truth be told, 'Price Tag' does come off a little bit corny, but thanks in no small part to Jessie's spunky likability" and described it as a "sun-dappled, hip-hop-inflected midtempo head-nodder".[11]Music video
Jessie J as a marionette in the music video.
The music video was directed by Emil Nava and was premiered on 30 January 2011.[12][13] The video begins closing up on a giant teddy bear that is missing an eye and an arm, accompanied by a musical box-rendering of Johann Strauss II's The Blue Danube, before zooming out to show a child version of J sitting next to it, who then gets up and walks around the bear, turning her into her full-sized self. J is then shown standing and holding out her hands, and as the lyrics suggest, a coconut man and a moonhead appear on her outstretched hands (this is a reference to the two individuals who co-wrote the song with her: Dr. Luke is coconut man and Kelly is moonhead). The video then goes back to J in the lap of the large teddy bear and shows various scenes of J holding up items that relate to the lyrics, including a huge price tag and pointing to left and the right. As the chorus begins, J is shown dancing under a money tree with dollar bills covering its branches. A scene of J is then shown of her as an over-sized ballerina in a jewelry box. As J says the words "video hoes", a scene of her wearing the same outfit as in her "Do It Like a Dude" video and dancing holding her crotch, suggesting that she was not happy with the content of the video[citation needed]. J is next shown riding around on a small tricycle. As the song progresses into the second chorus, J and two background dancers are shown as marionettes, with J wearing a Pinocchio hat, dancing to the song. The video then moves to B.o.B as his verse begins, showing him dancing in front of a beat up car, that starts jumping and moving to the beat. He is then shown standing in the middle of four large, toy green army men. As his verse ends, J is shown squeezed into a doll house and holding a glass doll that is missing part of its head. As the video goes into its final chorus, scenes of J are shown her dancing with B.o.B, laying on the floor missing a leg, sitting in an over-sized chair, dressed up as a doll in a blue and white dress, and doing the robot with her younger self. The video ends with J closing the door to her doll house; with her still inside it, the camera carries on zooming out.In June 2011, the video hit 100 million views on the popular video-sharing site, Youtube.
Development
The video heavily relied on the green screen effect.[citation needed]Illuminati-allegiance rumours
According to Q magazine, when the video was first aired, "Internet mentalists deemed that her wiggly finger pose - thumb-and-forefinger circled around her eye - signalled allegiance to The Illuminati". Jessica commented: "I don't even know what the hell it is! People have written seven-page essays on how I worship the Devil!... You know what? I think the world has become obsessed with hating things. But people who wanna spread bad energy, I ain't got time for them to be in my psyche."[14]Live performances
J performed an acoustic version of the song on the BBC's Later... with Jools Holland.[15] "Price Tag" was also performed at the club Scala in London on 18 January 2011, with UK rapper Devlin performing B.o.B's verse.[16] The song was performed in the US for the first time in a New York club.[17] She performed the song, along with a track titled "Nobody's Perfect" from her debut album, in a studio session at Maida Vale studios for MistaJam.[18] Jessie J also performed Price Tag on The Graham Norton Show on 25 February and has also performed it on Lets Dance for Comic Relief. Jessie also performed the song (along with "Mamma Knows Best") alongside B.o.B on Saturday Night Live on 12 March 2011, and on The X Factor (France) during the seventh week. [19] making it her first performance on American television.[20]She has also performed on Ellen Degeneres's show on 15 April making her debut on day time television. [21]Chart performance
The song debuted at number twelve in Ireland on 4 February 2011.[22] On 6 February 2011 the song debuted at number one in the United Kingdom, with first week sales of 84,000 copies. It became Jessie J's first number-one single. The song's charting also gave B.o.B his third UK number-one single.[3] "Price Tag" has become the first single to top the UK Singles Chart after being released to radio and retail on the same day, following a new "On Air, On Sale" initiative by Universal Music.[23][24] On its second week on the chart the song retained its number-one position by a margin of less than 5%, selling over 90,000 copies, preventing Lady Gaga's new single "Born This Way" and Chipmunk's "Champion" from debuting at number one.[25] In the United States, the song debuted at number eighty-eight on the Billboard Hot 100 on the week of 16 March 2011 and has reached number 23 .[5] It went straight to number one in New Zealand and it debuted at number 1 Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and peaked at number 1 on Hot Dance Club Play.Track listing

Jessie J ---
Need to paraphrase more.
Jessica Ellen Cornish was born on the 27th March 1988. She’s lots ‘better known by her stage name Jessie J,’ ‘she is an English recording artist who is presently signed to Island Records. She commenced her career as a songwriter for a few artists including Chris Brown and Miley Cyrus. Her debut single, "Do It Like a Dude", was released in November 2010 and peaked at number two on the UK Singles Charts.’
Follow-up single "Price Tag" reached number one in the United Kingdom, Ireland and New Zealand, and reached the top 10 in nineteen other countries. Her debut album, Who You Are was released in February 2011 and charted at number two on the UK Albums Chart. In February 2011, Jessie J won a BRIT Award, Critics' Choice.’
Jessie J was born Jessica Ellen Cornish in Redbridge, London and she was educated at Mayfield High School in the London Borough of Redbridge. She attended Colin's Performing Arts School and as an eleven year old was cast in Andrew Lloyd Webber's West End production of Whistle Down the Wind.[1][2][3] Jessie has two sisters, who are five and seven years older than her, who were both head girls at school.
Background information on “Jessie J”
Unlike her academic sisters, Cornish had stated she was "never really that good at anything". She said "At school they were like 'oh, you're a Cornish girl' and they kind of expected me to be the same as my sisters. Give me something to draw or an outfit to pick for someone, or hair, make-up, acting, write a song, I'm fine with it, but anything to do with sums – it was never my thing."
She also said she never based her intelligence on her exam results.[4] In addition, said she how she was always good at singing and that, that was her "thing." However, she got banished from the school choir, for being too loud. She stated "I was in it for a day and some of the adults were moaning that their kids were upset that I was too good. I was 11. Can you imagine? I was heartbroken."[4]
At the age of 16 she began studying at the BRIT School, and joined a girl group at the age of 17, titled "Soul Deep".[5] She graduated in the class of 2006 along with singers Adele and Leona Lewis.
Jessie J doesn't drink alcohol or smoke owing to existing medical conditions. Jessie said: "At 11 I was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat. I had wires put in my shoulder, and heart to try and zap it to a normal rhythm, but it didn't really work. Then, at 18, I suffered a minor stroke. It was scary, but I'm fine now. Having bad health has made me realize I can't take anything for granted and I must look after my body." In early 2011, she suffered from a panic attack on stage, after she was forced to perform in the dark. "I did a gig recently and had a panic attack on stage," she told NOW. "The night was called 'Black Out' and I had to perform in the dark. I asked them to turn on the lights and they didn't. I was onstage in pitch black and, because I couldn't see anything, I started to panic. It was awful."[6]
