    After all these years, still a total banger. Love the attitude and playfulness!

    Melhor álbum dela, é possível se identificar e se emocionar com cada palavra. Tão jovem e com um domínio vocal impressionante.

    Es uno de los debuts más iconicos de una artista, para mi un disco súper infravalorado, los diferentes estilos que lleva cada tema, la temática que aporta que no aportaban las artistas de su época, es una maravilla

    Everything in this album is perfectly preheated. It never feels like something original is being tested here.

However Jessie J shows us her beautiful voice (as we can hear it in 'Big White Room (Live)'), a promising voice if she just couldn't let go of the classic mainstream paths. Lyrics don't even escape this dark treatment and also reveal to be dull and unsurprising. There clearly is something better to achieve with a voice and a power like hers.… Expand

    Jessie J tiene una de las mejores voces de la industria musical y en este álbum lo demostró sin duda alguna. Su arte está infravalorado, y ella merece muchísimo más.

    Sonoramente confuso, sonoramente incoerente, Não consigo ouvi novamente, tem um potencial vocal, mas jogou tudo no Auto tunes e fez um álbum estupidamente horrível, não tem uma sonoridade marcante, um álbum cansado dele mesmo.

    Utterly terrible. It sounds rushed, unfinished, cheap, over-sang and utterly fake. 'Do It Like a Dude' and 'Price Tag' where totally misleading. Two excellent songs from one of the UK's most disappointing albums.

    Just... wow. This album is really bad. I'm honestly surprised it's only in the yellow. The songs are all over the place, hopping genres left and right with no flow whatsoever. The music and lyrics are so trite it's actually sometimes painful to listen to (especially L.O.V.E., Nobody's Perfect, Stand Up).

I'll admit that Jessie J is an EXTREMELY talented vocalist, but it seems like she's so focused on showing off her impressive chops that she sacrifices writing compelling pop music. There's way too much vocal noodling and not enough memorable hooks or creativity. She has so much potential, but this album is a huge disappointment.

    This album is unique. "Who You Are" is an excellent debut album due to the mixing of emotions in the songs and the connection between itself. Jessie's voice is incredible and some instrumentals sounds raw, like Nobody's Perfect, a thing that's great in my opinion because it makes the album sound different from any pop record released that time.

    Who You are é o álbum début da britânica Jessica Ellen Conish, mais conhecida como Jessie J.

    I don't know. The album has great bops such as Price Tag, Do It Like A Dude, Who's Laughing Now, Domino, and Who You Are. She tried too hard on this, trying to give off the "next Lady Gaga" debut album, but fails.

    Jessie J has that unique and powerful tone in her voice which made this album all the more interesting worth spending money on however, her lyrics often are unrelatable and has no significance in the current global crisises.

    As part of a special interrogation in Guantanamo Bay, this album would be sure to extract all information in its first rotation. No need to put it on repeat to break the prisoner, he is already begging for mercy after the first couple of songs:"Please make it stop!" J.J's voice becomes grating and the amusical mannerisms in the delivery unbearable somewhere half way through each song.

The songs themselves seems to be pastiches of every currently in vogue style; there is even song where she does a bad imitation of some kind of Jamaican dialect. It just can't get anymore insincere than this.… Expand

    The best album of Jessie J, never thought a debut album would be as good as this, great music, well-chosen singles and the vocals are impressive, I need a second version of it.
    Highlights: Big White Room and Domino
    Lows: Casualty Of Love and I Need This

    The best album ever! I love Jessie J! She is the best! All the songs on the album make me well, who you are is a hymn, domino and price tag are the best! Do it like a dude was a blast! Jessie deserves much recognition, not only for voice but also as a person!

    Un buen álbum, la mayoría de canciones son bastante pegadizas, no se a que se deben esas notas tan mediocres de algunos. Algunas de estas canciones se oyen un montón de veces en la radio.

    This was her most ICONIC album, the singles were perfection, and a great debut for her. Who knows if she can ever top this? Her voice really speaks on this album, and it had six top 10s in the UK. It's a shame it didn't have much attention in the US.

    Who You Are é um CD que marcou a carreira de Jessie. É seu melhor álbum até agora, com músicas divertidas e muito gostosas de ouvir. As melhores são Price Tag, Rainbow e Abracadabra.

    A rainha do UK, mais conhecida como Jessie J marcou o mundo musical com seu álbum de estreia Who You Are, que hitou e vendeu horrores no seu país materno e nos outros quatro cantos do mundo. Mesmo com debut #2 UK e #11 Billboard 200, nada prejudicou as vendas. Única cantora que colocou 6 singles no top 10 do chart britânico com o 1º álbum.

O talento dela é nitído e com o passar do tempo foi crescendo mais! Um dos melhores álbuns da minha vida e um presente para o pop/r&b/urban/dance/hit/conceitual. Who You Are é um álbum que Katy Perry sempre pediu a Deus e ela só recebeu o Katy Hudson, um fracasso em todos os quesitos.… Expand

    Sincere but Hokey homilies test the patience, but she brings imaginative vocal skills and real life experiences to "White Room," which displays a certain determined character. [Jun 2011, p.86]

    Over-emoting at every turn, she obliterates otherwise innocuous soul, R&B and reggae-inflected songs with gimmicky vocal histrionics, strident attempts at melisma and the kind of callow self-help lyrics that are apparently mandatory for all young pop stars nowadays.

    Quite honestly, Ke$ha is just more fun to listen to, even though Jessie J may ultimately have more career longevity. It's a decent enough album for the teenage dance set though.
