Jessie J 'super honoured' to win Billboard Powerhouse award

Jessie J has spoken of her joy at winning Billboard's Powerhouse prize.

The singer will be honoured by the publication at their Women In Music awards on Friday (December 12) in New York.

She will bag the Powerhouse award and speaking to Digital Spy at the weekend, Jessie J said:

"I feel super honoured. Aretha Franklin, Iggy, myself - I've even been given my own table - which has probably excited me more than anything else because I get to invite 9 people. I don't even know if I know 9 people in New York!

"I'm really honoured and to be given a Powerhouse award is what I live for. I love all of this stuff, but singing is really my thing and that's why I started out in this business.

"I feel like everywhere in the world I'm really being recognised for my vocal talent and I work really hard on my voice to keep it live - never mime, never lip sync, stay healthy - so I feel very blessed and honoured that it's an award I'm going to receive at such a young age."
