England has recently given us a string of female one-album wonders in pop music. Amy Winehouse, Duffy, Leona Lewis, Kate Nash, Lily Allen and Imogen Heap all made a splash in the States, but pretty much disappeared thereafter. Adele was the exception. She has delivered two Grammy-winning blockbuster albums. Could Jessie J, a powerhouse vocalist, be the next British wonder woman? All three of her albums have landed in the Top 5 on the U.K. charts, and her singles "Price Tag," "Domino" and "Bang Bang" (featuring Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj) have made noise on both sides of the pond. But can Jessie J deliver live? She played at a sold-out First Avenue in Minneapolis on Monday.
