We went to a karaoke bar,” Jessie said while speaking to the crowd before she performed. “We sang … I can’t tell you the love and energy I get from New York. It is like no other place … Just the talent in this room is undeniable and I’ve lost my voice … My voice is tired, but I’ll give you everything I have.”
