We collected questions from our Twitter followers, added a few of our own and sat Jessie down for a half hour live chat. Read on to see if your question was answered, find out who Jessie's inspiration is, how she's enjoying her time as a judge on The Voice and how she'll celebrate if she wins a BRIT Award in 2012...

Trying not to fall over, swear in my speech and not crying. I was so overwhelmed. It was such a big moment for me. :)
From @Nicola_JJ_LilMixer: What has been your favourite show or performance of the past year?
There has been so many. But VH1 Divas was special. An honour to be on stage with so many of the singers I have grown up listening to. Was defo one for the diary.
From @JessieJ_Global: What are you enjoying most about being part of The Voice?
Hearing so many amazing voices. Knowing I can be a coach, I can't wait! Meeting Tom, Will and Danny - and being silly on TV. That's fun! People are gonna see how silly I really am.
From @ChelseyJessieJ: You were reportedly giving Haribo out while filming The Voice. Tangtastic or Supermix?
I prefer Tangfastic but it was sadly just Starmix on offer.

Everyone on one MASSIVE table!!! :D
From @xExpressUrSelfx: Which is your favorite of all your songs to perform live?
I don't have one! It depends on the day, the vibe, my mood the audience...
From @Chantale_JJ: How will you celebrate if you win a Brit Award this year?
I will jump into the nearest pool. Lol. And do three new youtube videos :D
From @HausOfHelga: What's your biggest dream - or goal - that you'd still like to achieve?
It changes. My biggest goal is to make music people love forever. Others are about growth and learning as I grow up #wowjessiethatwasdeep lol
