It's shot with a rig called a steadicam... it's a complete contraption that the cameraman wears/carries which counters and smooths out any movements of the cameraman making sure to have a clean shot without the bumps you have with a handheld camera... and the cameraman itself is led backwards by another person who guides the cameraman to make sure he/she doesn't trip
It was the only choice. Really it’s no different than “camera follows host around studio” only with some more involved moves. (Recall that this would be rehearsed as though it was on stage)
+Melina P I know! I was so confused XD I was like, "I could swear that's Jessie J...but that hair is wrong...that's not her...is it? I don't know!" So I had to look it up, and I was like, "I KNEW IT!" XD
One of the things I loved about this was the kinetic aspect to it. The camera was just constantly moving while she was and it makes you feel like you're right there in the party with everybody else.
How can something be so perfect! I'm obsessed with the real version but this performance of Jessie j is so amazing that i can watch it over and over again
I'm not a huge Grease fanatic. I saw it in the theater when it first came out all those years ago. THIS song, however, is one of my favorite of all time.
This was awesome! Loved to see the backstage scene going on, and it set the tone for the whole musical which was spectacular! This show wss so much fun! Well done!👍🙂
I really enjoyed this live version. It was close enough to the original to not be jarring but it had it added really creative set design and production as well as a few songs that were not highlighted in the movie.
I THOUGHT I recognized Barry "Doody" Pearl in this!!! I loved seeing those little throwbacks from the movie (and yes, I know it was originally a stage musical before the movie!)...delighted in seeing DiDi as well...and did anyone recognize the autoshop teacher?? I also saw the movie poster!!!
+Dawn Welch I loved the little throwbacks too! I saw Barry play Wilbur in my hometown's production of Hairspray almost five years ago presented by Musical Theatre West.
I solve my problems and I see the light We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right There ain't no danger we can go too far We start believing now that we can be who we are Grease is the word They think our love is just a growing pain Why don't they understand?

Was the first film I saw at the cinema around my eight years and that film marked my life, I was very moved and this version sung by Jessie J. was perfect, made me better acquainted with the work of Jessie J also Vanessa Hudgens, Julianne Hough, Aaron Tveit and Carly Rae Jepsen, were perfect as all the flawless production.
I find this simply unbelievable. They must have rehearsed this a million times. Jessie J was probably super nervous, but voice and performance absolutely flawless
I usually hands down LOVE anything Jessie covers, and her version is superbly good. But she sounds really breathy here? Don't know if it's because of the moving around or her voice isn't at its best. She moves around onstage a lot in general.
Feeling her inner MJ at 2:50, nice! Best performance of the night. Was downhill after this. Lesson: Don't follow Jessie J with a cast of unknowns and lesser knowns. (Nods to Vanessa Hudgens for showing up with her A-game, all things considered.)
The camera man is the real MVP.
Yes!
i am guessing you don't mean minimum viable product lol what does mvp stand for where you are please?
Joznne Randle most valuable player
The unsung heroes
she soumds like davod crocket met god
This was actually pretty cool.. Also, Jessie J's vocals are on point considering how much she's moving around..
+Lanes24 shes always moving! I feel like the only time shes sitting down is for slower songs
I completely agree!
You should hear her sing with Marshmallows in her mouth on #TheReal
+Lanes24 Who could ask for anything more?
moi j.adore
I can't believe how they shot this man, this is incredible. That's one steady-ass cameraman!
Lol
It's shot with a rig called a steadicam... it's a complete contraption that the cameraman wears/carries which counters and smooths out any movements of the cameraman making sure to have a clean shot without the bumps you have with a handheld camera... and the cameraman itself is led backwards by another person who guides the cameraman to make sure he/she doesn't trip
it's not a man it's a woman, she just has short shairs
Could you imagine? All live?
The camera operator should have received a special Emmy Award for the amazing work #greaselive
She has one of the most powerful female voices I swear
You ever listen to sara brightman?
That made me laugh until I puked. Brightman is famous because she shagged ALW. She has all the vocal talent of a pasta bake.
i love how she ripped out her ear piece and immediately sounded more steady and less shaky, she's an icon
Seriously though I don’t know why she’s still so underrated she’s amazing
She is one of the best pop female vocalists EVER.
I love all the people with umbrellas and Jessie just like 'I come from England, it's cool' XD
*I don’t get it-*
Lottie Brearley because it always rains in England so she doesn’t need an umbrella as she’s used to it
Gemma Denton
*I live in England-*
Or she’s only in one scene... and there isn’t much hair or makeup that can be ruined in the couple minutes outside
@@jpetteys3801, or, _she has makeup that doesn't run_ .
Jesse J kicked off Grease Live with a vengeance just like I knew she was going to!
Jessie's always doing England proud - YOU GO GUUUUUURL
She’s literally one of the best female pop vocalist of all time , she doesn’t take that credit, Jessie J is vocal perfect.
"literally"
Not figuratively?
The fact that they were willing to do this all in one shot was a bold choice.
It was the only choice. Really it’s no different than “camera follows host around studio” only with some more involved moves.
(Recall that this would be rehearsed as though it was on stage)
I don't see how anybody could not like this
❤️❤️❤️ Jessie J killed this! I didn't even recognize her at first with that hair...I thought it was Pink but recognized her voice immediately.
+Melina P I know! I was so confused XD I was like, "I could swear that's Jessie J...but that hair is wrong...that's not her...is it? I don't know!" So I had to look it up, and I was like, "I KNEW IT!" XD
+Melina P Wow nice try though???
IceMetalPunk 😄😀
Not a big fan of any of the Live musicals, but this...this is fantastic.
I thought Grease and Hairspray were the best
This was so much fun to watch, I cant imagine how electrifying it must have been to be a part of it.
coming from a grease fan who played the original movie over 100000 times lol, i love this version...live! amazing
I don't think a VHS can run that many times 😂😂😂
I swear I got chills when Didi and Barry came out. Grease will always live. :)
+mommak10 I did too! I did too!
me too! I couldn't stop smiling when they came out!
+velvetroses And Didi still has that same sweet smile! :)
+mommak10 I think it was an EPIC idea to include them in all the fun
Manuel Orozco agreed!
One of the things I loved about this was the kinetic aspect to it. The camera was just constantly moving while she was and it makes you feel like you're right there in the party with everybody else.
That's why these 'walking openings/introductions' are so great, especially _this_ one: ruclips.net/video/D32NEM7KCRk/видео.html
She killed it! Her vocals were on point. You think no one can beat Franki Valli, but Jessie J rocked it.
She didn't beat Frank
Especially when you consider she's moving around the lot singing live in the rain
How bout Barry Gibb?
This whole production is such an incredible feat!
I don't know why but this song always makes me cry and Jessie did a phenomenal job.
It’s a good song I like the original
@@milesbreen It's weird to think that from now on we are going to think of things as "before COVID" and "after COVID".
Same Lol. IMO, it's a perfectly structured song, plus it has 1970s nostalgia value for me.
How can something be so perfect! I'm obsessed with the real version but this performance of Jessie j is so amazing that i can watch it over and over again
god i think im going to cry. this is an awesome rendition of GREASE!!!!
No auto-tune and she still sounds AMAZING. Just saying
Lip syncing is a thing you know?
i was absolutely obsessed with the original version, but then I heard Jessie sing it and I was like...😍😍😍😍
I wanna cry especially seeing characters from the actual movie. Goosebumps
I absolutely love this rendition of this song from Grease! Jessie J absolutely nailed it, it was a brilliant performance!
The fact they pulled off a production of this size is insane
I love the fact that it was all one continuous shot during the opening....that was so cool!!
What a performance...Jessie J tore it up!
OMG I love the part with Boys II Men.
Fun Fact: That Harmony is from their song Motown Philly.
I've just watched this after hitting a epic Bong Rip, and I must say - Jessie J gets my respect and the Cameraman is the CHAMP.
By Christ, she nailed it.
She is just fabulous.
I could not help but smile the entire time 😁
She SLAAAAAAAYED! THIS PERFORMANCE GAVE ME SO MUCH LIFE!
I saw this when it first i aired. Love indication. Thank you.
this broadway production was amazing.. loved every second of it.
SO GOOD. UGh. I can just watch it over and over.
Brought tears to my eyes, amazing british talent, our jessie. X
Her runs are amazings
Anyone else cry every time they see this? It’s just so cool. It overwhelms me.
I'm not a huge Grease fanatic. I saw it in the theater when it first came out all those years ago. THIS song, however, is one of my favorite of all time.
This was awesome! Loved to see the backstage scene going on, and it set the tone for the whole musical which was spectacular!
This show wss so much fun! Well done!👍🙂
+Ana Carreno Said it best!
People who are saying this was bad are stuck in the past and can't get over their nostalgia.
I’m a millennial who’s been a fan of Grease since 8th grade.
I really enjoyed this live version. It was close enough to the original to not be jarring but it had it added really creative set design and production as well as a few songs that were not highlighted in the movie.
Yaaaassssssssss to this whole opening sequence!
Me watching this again after hearing JessieJ's Cover of OWN MY OWN. Wow! We miss you JessieJ.
She is incredible x
A huge responsibility that she nailed. all up!
Why are people shooting this down? I think this is one of the best adaptions of Grease I've ever seen in my life.
I know. I knew it would be something special
1:46 "Makes me confusion"... gtfo.
@@baaldiablo8459”Mixed with confusion” It sounds similar, but she’s singing the correct lyrics.
What a shot. Hats off for the performer, the cameraman and the asisstants around.
Loved that performance so much!
Absolutely amazing. Jessie J absolutely nailed it!! ❤️
She is so good and makes me fall in love with this song so soulful 😍😍😍
One of my most favoured songs
re-done and looks and sounds great.
Fantastic choreography and the camera work is amazing!
I really didn't expect this performance from Jessie J but I loved it
AMAZING! Glad a little rain didn't stop them!
+Melcat96 I'm glad too! In the tradition of the business, the show must go on.

I solve my problems and I see the light
We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right
There ain't no danger we can go too far
We start believing now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
They think our love is just a growing pain
Why don't they understand? It's just a crying shame
Their lips are lying only real is real
We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel
Grease is the word
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got groove it's got meaning
(Grease) grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believing now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got groove it's got meaning
(Grease) grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Now, grease is the way we are feeling
This is the life of illusion (illusion)
Wrapped up in trouble (trouble), laced with confusion
What are we doing here?
We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believing now that we can be who we are (be who we are)

Is the word
omg perfection!
Oh I can't wait to see Jessie j and she's singing grease and I love you so much and can't wait to see the best of all time
I loved this song so much when I was little!
This is the best song from Grease Live
this is awesome x
Was the first film I saw at the cinema around my eight years and that film marked my life, I was very moved and this version sung by Jessie J. was perfect, made me better acquainted with the work of Jessie J also Vanessa Hudgens, Julianne Hough, Aaron Tveit and Carly Rae Jepsen, were perfect as all the flawless production.
She rocked this song ❤️
JESSIE IS THE BEST OF WORLD
I am from London living in new Zealand. she fucking owned this.
Perfect choice for this song. She performed it perfectly.
Absolutely brilliant!
love jessie j her smile is just so infectious!
Jessie J is amazing x
This is a great song
I find this simply unbelievable. They must have rehearsed this a million times. Jessie J was probably super nervous, but voice and performance absolutely flawless
I wasn't too keen on Grease Live overall, but this was pretty awesome
It takes a brave person to cover this song
I'm really not into Grease, but that was pretty incredible! Thanks for posting it!
She nailed it!
I’ve never heard her sing before. She knocked it out of the park.
love the song and her and the movie😍😍😍
Exactly three years❤️
Que clipppp sensacional....babadooooo que Vibeeeee heimmmm...🎉🎈🎊🎀👏👏
chills! love it
Grease Is The Word is my favourite song in Grease Live
love the movie and this version is great!!
+Zuleima Hernandez I feel the same way
She’s SO underrated! She effen killed it! Xoxo
She killed it!!
This proves right here that you can NEVER MESS WITH THE ORIGINAL!!#
This was amazing. Fuck off.
It's amazing. What's wrong with you ?
I love the way that Jessie j singing grease
I remember watching the live version freshman year in theater class! Time flies by fast!
This was absolutely the best thing about this grease live. That and those magic chnages
Jessie j smashed this
1:46 "Makes me confusion"... gtfo.
I LOVE HER VOICE.
I usually hands down LOVE anything Jessie covers, and her version is superbly good. But she sounds really breathy here? Don't know if it's because of the moving around or her voice isn't at its best. She moves around onstage a lot in general.
Probably nerves too
From all that running lmao...
It's also cold af and raining
It's also RAINING
@@princejayy5575 in heels! but she CAN even have a good time lol!
I am watching grease live right now I enjoyed the movies.
This is gold!
This was so good. Wow. Way to go Jessie J!
Amazing!
Feeling her inner MJ at 2:50, nice! Best performance of the night. Was downhill after this. Lesson: Don't follow Jessie J with a cast of unknowns and lesser knowns. (Nods to Vanessa Hudgens for showing up with her A-game, all things considered.)
If you were into musical theater you would know them
Leffcoast - and really Boyz II Men...
FABULOUS
love it
Thanks for uploading this clip! Didn't see it on FOX's RUclips channel.
