Jessie J
8 p.m.• First Avenue • 18-plus • sold out
On last year's inescapable Top 40 smash "Bang Bang," Jessie J belts "bang bang into the room." First Avenue's Mainroom, that is. The soul-pop singer/songwriter and former "The Voice" judge is touring in support of her 2014 sophomore album, "Sweet Talker." Graced with a knack for penning irresistibly catchy hooks, the BRIT School-educated princess turned eclectic pop empress is more than powerhouse vocals and feisty attitude; her songwriting credits include Miley Cyrus' 2009 anthemic jam "Party in the U.S.A." Expect a Whitney Houston cover, a performance of her contribution to the "Pitch Perfect 2" soundtrack and some improvisational fun. Alex Nelson
