3 chords, a webcam and absolutely zero vocal technique- no wonder it got 268,000+ hits on YouTube.

She does "Fly me to the moon". That's more than 3 chords.
I actually think she has quite a grasp on music.
I think it's called raw talent. 8)

there's a lot of 'raw talent' out there on YouTube that doesn't get 268,000+ views. I wonder what makes this video different. Hmmmm. :|

Nothing wrong with a bit of self promotion. Maybe someone influential will notice the music.
She seems to have a solid education in music and an ability to learn songs. Jess has about 40 videos on youtube. She no virtuoso but she is versatile.

How many of us could sit down with an acoustic and do complete songs for 3 or 4 hours?

Dudes, I find this to be entertaining. I have no shame saying that. At least get to the part where she says "yeah." At 0:36. Dude, this makes me bob my head even if I'm not looking at the vid, I swear. I wish I was this good. I'm depressed because I can't freaking sing *at all*. So I can never ever do this no matter how good I get at guitar. I think she has talent.

I also like how she gets the beat going at the beginning. She has a percussive style and strums hard. This rocks dudes.

It's a wonder she hasn't been scooped up by some talent scouts.With all the tone deaf Madonna wannabes they have on American Idol and its counterparts,you'd think that they'd be beating down her door.She has more going for her than most of them could ever dream for. She has a much better than average command of the fretboard,a beautiful voice and she's strikingly beautiful and definitely is photogenic and works well with the camera. I believe it will only be a matter of a short while until she gets recognized for her talent by some label or talent scout.

Okay, hooters jokes and comments aside, it's obvious that this girl has more than just run-of-the-mill talent: her technique is pretty clean (especially for keeping single-line runs going while singing), she sings on key, she's keeping her own rhythm (I love hearing the foot-tapping in the background), and she covers a variety of musical styles. And her persona/attitude is ice-cold! I think she knows exactly what she's doing, and is having the effect she intends, right down to her costume. She's not afraid of fame, and unless something unusual happens to deter her, she's going to achieve it. In short, she's good. Now, can she write her own material?

I certainly didn't look at all her videos, but did anybody see one where she cuts loose with a full-on smile?? As the old joke goes, if you're having fun you ought to notify your face!

As for self-promotion, I can't see where it has held back Taylor Swift! :D

Got to admit - she's pretty good. Impressive how she keeps in time where an amateur would tend to increase speed . I like her :shock:
