A quick google search of Jessie J may jog a memory of that "Price Tag" song from a couple years back or her "Bang Bang" collab with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, but it likely won't find her on top of any lists of the world's most lauded pop stars. The UK pop singer, however, seems to think otherwise.
In a new interview with Women's Health, the singer laments the fact that her fellow Brits don't appreciate her talent enough. She's rather confident about her artistic impact on this side of the Atlantic, though.
"It makes me sad," she said. "I've done the Grammys, the VMAs… my profile in America is that I'm kind of celebrated as one of the greatest singers — and I love it."
Uhh, what?
"I want to be up there with the Celine Dions, Whitneys, Beyonces and Arethas," she continued, setting herself some impressive career ambitions.
"I go hard because I hope and pray that one day people look back and go, 'She could really fucking sing,'" she concluded.
No one's denying that she's got some vocal pipes, but there might be some delusions of grandeur in the mix, as well.
Her last album, Sweet Talker, was released back in 2014.
