The singer posted some chilling pictures with some dramatic blue hues and a message on self-belief and a tribute to the late Jamal Edwards. Basically, his social media post operated in two roles: it was a reflective tribute and a public honoring of a very famous music entrepreneur. The post collected quite some support and memories from followers fairly quickly.

A genuine artist is rarely spotted combining such a simple, powerful phrase like “SELF BELIEF” with a profound heartfelt tribute. But that’s exactly what Jessie J managed to do. The gorgeous pictures accompanying the post were taken by journalist Faysal Hassan; the message gave Christensen bail and heartfelt gratitude to Jamal Edwards. Different shades of blue dominated the visual art, hence uniting the beautiful theme of emotion and meaning.
The comments section turned into a mini-cemetery. One user tagged a friend and wrote: “R.I.P Jamal Edwards. Gone but never forgotten, a true innovator who paved the road to success for many people from humble beginnings.” This basically shares the sentiment that Edwards had on the UK music scene. Another person went straight to Edwards’ legacy and called him, “Mr Ea to Chelsea AkA Mr Self Belief,” which tied the post theme down to the man himself.
Amongst the tributes, the photos were noted for their visual impact. “You looks absolutely stunning in that color,” one fan said, a sophisticated compliment to Jessie J for bringing strength to the solemn occasion. The blue dress stirred up some conversation, as another fan asked, “Where do we get that dress? 👗 💙,” amid a sea of heavy emotions.
Also noted was the international barrage of the fan base. Comments flowed in Portuguese, starting with “Mulher magnífica. Super cantora ❤️” (Magnificent woman. Super singer). Another comment simply read, “a mulher está um LUXO” (The woman is a LUXURY). This clearly indicated that love for an artist knows no language barriers.
Appropriate questions emerged, as well. One wondered aloud: “Jessie the blue isn’t for autism awareness is it; I just wondered, that’s all; have a blessed day.” It revealed the extent to which the audience actively searches for deeper significance in artists’ choices, particularly when presented so starkly.
The reflective comments gave way to a feeling of togetherness. Comments like “The most incredible evening 💙💙💙” and “Forever grateful for you! 🥺💙” sparked feelings of shared positivity about the tribute; somewhat less of a traditional fan reaction and more of a moment acknowledged by the community.

Jessie J has always been one of those artists who wore their heart on their sleeve, which completely held true for this post. With self-belief at its core—a strong ethos of Jamal Edwards—this was a fitting and beautiful tribute, and the response only proved that a simple, heartfelt post can actually go very far; a mix of private mourning and public acknowledgment of his life’s work. This was a quiet moment in the midst of all the loud noise. She recently released a new single, and shared a heartwarming stage moment with her son at a recent event. The artist also celebrated a personal milestone before a major performance.
