Two of the biggest pop stars in the universe

0:00:020:00:03

are about to go into battle -

0:00:030:00:04

pop diva Jessie J

0:00:040:00:07

against the punk pair of Paramore.

0:00:070:00:10

There can only be one winner, so stay right here.

0:00:100:00:13

I'm Amberley Lobo and this is Pop Slam!

0:00:130:00:16

Going head-to-head, we've got...

0:00:330:00:35

# Ow! It's my party... #

0:00:350:00:37

Jessie J.

0:00:370:00:39

# Do what I want Do, do what I want. #

0:00:390:00:41

She's one of the UK's biggest female solo singers.

0:00:410:00:45

She's had a string of smashing singles,

0:00:450:00:48

including number ones Price Tag and Domino.

0:00:480:00:51

But how will she fare against...?

0:00:510:00:53

Paramore!

0:00:560:00:57

They are the pop punkers from America fronted by the feisty

0:00:590:01:03

red-headed Hayley Williams.

0:01:030:01:05

They are one of the biggest bands in the world and know how to rock.

0:01:050:01:09

It's going to be one epic Pop Slam, so who's team are you on,

0:01:090:01:13

Team Jessie or Team Paramore?

0:01:130:01:15

I'm going to be delving into the lives of these megastars to see

0:01:150:01:19

who has what it takes to win the ultimate prize in pop - the Ambo.

0:01:190:01:23

There is only one way to win the Ambo,

0:01:240:01:27

and that's by getting as many of my Ambo points as possible.

0:01:270:01:31

I'll be dishing them out over three slamming rounds of pop-osity,

0:01:310:01:35

where I meet the people who knew the stars back in the day,

0:01:350:01:39

then I check out how hard they've been working

0:01:390:01:42

and finally I scrutinise their style.

0:01:420:01:46

All before the big moment.

0:01:460:01:49

The winner of the Ambo is...

0:01:490:01:52

You may not agree with the outcome.

0:01:520:01:54

And if not,

0:01:540:01:56

go onto the CBBC website

0:01:560:01:57

and have your say.

0:01:570:01:59

But seriously, who do you think is going to win?

0:01:590:02:01

I mean, Jessie J has amazing fashion

0:02:010:02:02

and Hayley from Paramore has great hair.

0:02:020:02:05

And they can both sing.

0:02:050:02:06

I really don't know.

0:02:060:02:08

But there's only one way to find out, it's time for Pop Slam!

0:02:080:02:12

Round One - Pop Potential.

0:02:160:02:19

This is all about how our stars made it.

0:02:190:02:22

# You make my head shake

0:02:220:02:25

# I watch the glass break... #

0:02:250:02:27

She may be a massive superstar nowadays,

0:02:270:02:30

but back when Jessie J was just a gal called Jessica Cornish,

0:02:300:02:33

she was right here, in Seven Kings, in Essex.

0:02:330:02:37

# You treat me just like... #

0:02:370:02:40

And way before Paramore was selling out stadiums all over the world,

0:02:400:02:44

Hayley Williams and three of her friends were kicking back

0:02:440:02:46

right here, in Franklin, Tennessee.

0:02:460:02:49

So, how did Paramore and Jessie J become the megastars they are today?

0:02:500:02:55

I'm going to find out. First up...

0:02:550:02:57

# Like a shot of pure gold... #

0:02:570:03:00

..Jessie J.

0:03:000:03:01

# I think I'm about to explode. #

0:03:010:03:04

This is the actual street that young Jessica grew up on,

0:03:040:03:07

and this is the very house in which she lived.

0:03:070:03:09

Now, I know it might just seem like a normal street in Essex,

0:03:090:03:13

but this is the street that put Jessica Cornish on the road

0:03:130:03:16

to becoming Jessie J.

0:03:160:03:18

This is how Jessica made it big.

0:03:180:03:20

# Oh-oh-oh-oh

0:03:200:03:22

# Rock my world until the sunlight... #

0:03:220:03:26

Jessie J first hit the charts in 2010 when she was 22 years old.

0:03:260:03:31

# Dancing in the moonlight. #

0:03:310:03:33

But it was 18 years earlier

0:03:330:03:35

when she started her showbiz journey.

0:03:350:03:37

When Jessica was just four years old, she joined the Wenn Stage

0:03:370:03:41

School, which luckily for her, was just at the end of her street.

0:03:410:03:44

Handy!

0:03:440:03:45

These are the actual steps that Jessica would have

0:03:450:03:47

walked to the place that taught her how to be a pop star.

0:03:470:03:50

# Down like I'm a domino. #

0:03:500:03:53

OK, Jessica might not have walked quite like that,

0:03:530:03:56

but she did come here

0:03:560:03:58

three to four nights a week to do lessons in drama, singing and dance.

0:03:580:04:02

And I'm going to check it out.

0:04:020:04:04

# Take me down like I'm a domino. #

0:04:040:04:08

You're not going to believe this, but this is the actual room where

0:04:080:04:11

Jessica first started to learn how to sing and perform.

0:04:110:04:15

Hee-yah!

0:04:150:04:17

Take it away, Jessica.

0:04:170:04:18

# I can show you the world... #

0:04:180:04:21

Hello! Who's that playing Aladdin?

0:04:210:04:24

It's only Jessica during a Wenn Stage School performance.

0:04:240:04:29

So, while I was hanging out at the school, I caught up with Ian,

0:04:290:04:32

who actually used to teach her back in the day.

0:04:320:04:35

-AMBERLEY SINGS:

-# I can show you the world...

0:04:350:04:38

# Shining, shimmering, splendid... #

0:04:380:04:42

Eh? Eh? Who am I? Who am I?

0:04:420:04:46

Jessica?

0:04:460:04:47

Oh! Exactly! I'm Jessie J.

0:04:470:04:50

Now, Ian, you're obviously the director of this place.

0:04:500:04:53

Can you tell me anything about Jessie?

0:04:530:04:54

What was she like back in the day?

0:04:540:04:56

She was cheeky, bubbly, lippy.

0:04:560:05:00

Just your average sort of run-of-the-mill kid, really.

0:05:000:05:03

Did she have any super embarrassing moments when she was on stage?

0:05:030:05:06

Uh... She was playing Brat in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Whistle Down The Wind

0:05:060:05:11

in the West End.

0:05:110:05:13

She turned her back to the audience and got, unfortunately,

0:05:130:05:16

too close to the orchestra pit

0:05:160:05:19

and fell into the pit.

0:05:190:05:21

-Was she OK?

-She was.

0:05:210:05:23

She did have to go to hospital just to be checked out.

0:05:230:05:25

-What about the instruments, were they OK?

-Well, no.

0:05:250:05:28

Unfortunately, the second violinist didn't fare so well -

0:05:280:05:31

his bow went through his hand.

0:05:310:05:33

-No, it didn't!

-It did.

-Oh, no way!

0:05:330:05:36

-That must have hurt!

-I'm sure it did, yes.

0:05:360:05:39

-Did the show go on?

-It did after quite a break.

0:05:390:05:42

And how do you feel knowing that one of your students is just out

0:05:420:05:45

there and is a worldwide celebrity?

0:05:450:05:48

I think really we're just immensely proud of her.

0:05:480:05:51

Despite the odd accident, Jessica was riding high on stage.

0:05:510:05:56

That's three Ambo points for getting an early start.

0:05:560:06:00

However, offstage, life at her primary school wasn't so fun,

0:06:000:06:03

as she often got picked on.

0:06:030:06:05

# Mummy, they call me names They wouldn't let me play

0:06:050:06:08

# I'd run home, sit and cry Almost every day... #

0:06:080:06:10

But it was Jessica who had the last laugh,

0:06:100:06:12

as the experience inspired this awesome pop song.

0:06:120:06:15

# Oh, so you think you know me now. #

0:06:150:06:17

Here's two Ambo points for not letting anyone

0:06:170:06:20

get in the way of your dream.

0:06:200:06:21

# I'm still rising I'm still rising

0:06:210:06:23

# Yeah! So make your jokes, go for broke

0:06:230:06:26

# Blow your smoke You're not alone

0:06:260:06:28

# But who's laughing now?

0:06:280:06:30

# But who's laughing now? #

0:06:300:06:32

Jessica was finally on her way to super stardom.

0:06:320:06:36

And when she was 15, her talents won her an award on a TV show

0:06:360:06:39

that would change her life forever.

0:06:390:06:43

The year's best young pop singer, Jessica Cornish.

0:06:430:06:45

# Ooooh

0:06:470:06:51

# Yes

0:06:510:06:54

# You can reach me by railway... #

0:06:540:06:58

To win a competition like that is an incredible achievement.

0:06:580:07:02

And it just made her think, I can do anything.

0:07:020:07:05

Maybe this is going to be my future.

0:07:050:07:07

# With your mind... #

0:07:070:07:11

Being a brilliant prodigy is awesome work.

0:07:110:07:14

Take three Ambo points.

0:07:140:07:17

And after that, there was no looking back for Jessica.

0:07:170:07:20

# Everybody look to their left

0:07:200:07:22

# Everybody look to their right

0:07:220:07:25

# Can you feel that, yeah?

0:07:250:07:26

# We're playing with love tonight... #

0:07:260:07:28

We all know that Jessica made it.

0:07:280:07:30

But it took five years of hard work before she landed

0:07:300:07:33

her first record deal.

0:07:330:07:35

And then she took the UK by storm.

0:07:350:07:37

# Forget about the price tag... #

0:07:370:07:40

And it was this song...

0:07:400:07:41

-SHE SINGS:

-Cha-ching, cha-ching!

0:07:410:07:43

..that got to the top of the charts...

0:07:430:07:45

-SHE SINGS:

-Ba-bling, ba-bling!

0:07:450:07:47

..in 19 countries. Which is like 19 countries.

0:07:470:07:50

# It's not about the money, money, money

0:07:510:07:54

# We don't need your money, money, money... #

0:07:540:07:56

Jessica Cornish had finally become Jessie J.

0:07:560:07:59

That's two bling, ba-bling

0:07:590:08:01

Ambo points for making it.

0:08:010:08:03

It's an excellent start for our Jessie.

0:08:030:08:05

Meanwhile, 4,000 miles away, four kids from Tennessee

0:08:050:08:09

were about to become one of the biggest bands in the world.

0:08:090:08:12

-SHE SINGS:

-Paramore!

0:08:120:08:14

MUSIC: "Crush" by Paramore

0:08:140:08:17

-# Crush, crush, crush

-1, 2, 3, 4

0:08:170:08:21

# Nothing compares to... #

0:08:210:08:23

Paramore are the band who brought punk to pop.

0:08:230:08:26

# I was just counting on... #

0:08:260:08:28

If you think they might be too rocked out for you then

0:08:280:08:31

stick around, cos these guys have one amazing story.

0:08:310:08:34

And it all starts here in the sleepy town of Franklin, Tennessee.

0:08:340:08:38

With an unassuming teenager called Hayley Williams.

0:08:380:08:42

# If you want to play it like a game

0:08:420:08:45

# Well, come on, come on, let's play... #

0:08:450:08:48

It's here where she met three guys who together became

0:08:480:08:50

one of the biggest rock groups in the world.

0:08:500:08:53

This is how Paramore turned into global megastars.

0:08:530:08:56

# Nothing compares to

0:08:560:08:59

# A quiet evening alone

0:08:590:09:00

# Just the one-two

0:09:000:09:02

# I was just counting on

0:09:020:09:04

# That never happens... #

0:09:040:09:06

I bet you're probably wondering, how did Paramore get together?

0:09:060:09:09

Well, step one...

0:09:090:09:11

Hayley replied to an ad looking for a singer in a band called

0:09:110:09:13

The Factory, that's where she met the bassist, Jeremy.

0:09:130:09:17

Step two...

0:09:170:09:18

She came here at the weekends, to Franklin Classical School,

0:09:180:09:21

and that's where she met Josh and Zac, and Paramore was formed,

0:09:210:09:26

thank you very much. I'll be here all day.

0:09:260:09:28

MUSIC: "That's What You Get" by Paramore

0:09:310:09:36

So, Paramore had formed! Yay!

0:09:360:09:38

The next step happened was to start gigging.

0:09:380:09:41

And where better to begin that The End. Right here in Nashville.

0:09:410:09:45

# Oh-oh

0:09:450:09:47

# That's what you get when you let your heart win... #

0:09:470:09:51

The End is Nashville's premier rock venue.

0:09:510:09:54

And Paramore played here when Hayley was only 15 years old.

0:09:540:09:58

And I'm meeting the band's friend, Randall,

0:09:580:10:00

who was here at the very first gig.

0:10:000:10:02

Paint a picture for us, cos it was right here on this stage.

0:10:020:10:05

What was it like? Was it packed with people?

0:10:050:10:07

It was, yeah. It was wall to wall.

0:10:070:10:10

There was no sitting room or anything.

0:10:100:10:13

It was really high energy kind of stuff.

0:10:130:10:15

# That's what you get when you let your heart win... #

0:10:160:10:19

Do you think Paramore has changed much?

0:10:190:10:22

I don't think so, no.

0:10:220:10:24

It's interesting to see them world famous,

0:10:240:10:26

but every time I see Hayley she still runs up to me and hugs me.

0:10:260:10:30

Nothing's really changed.

0:10:300:10:31

Aw, well, Hayley can't be here now to give you a big hug.

0:10:310:10:34

But thank you seriously so much for the chat.

0:10:340:10:37

Gigging with the big boys at 15,

0:10:380:10:40

that's two brave Ambo points for getting your music heard.

0:10:400:10:45

And it wasn't long before Paramore had a record deal.

0:10:450:10:48

MUSIC: "Pressure" by Paramore

0:10:530:10:56

This is Paramore's first ever video.

0:10:560:10:59

And it was released when Hayley was just 16, in 2005.

0:10:590:11:03

Have two more Ambo points

0:11:050:11:07

for making vids at such a young age.

0:11:070:11:09

But success didn't come easy.

0:11:090:11:12

So they had to hit the road and go on tour.

0:11:120:11:15

And they didn't just do any old tour.

0:11:180:11:21

They did the hardcore punk festival that is the Warped Tour.

0:11:210:11:25

And drummer Zac was just 15 at the time.

0:11:250:11:28

For Paramore to be going on tour when they were 15 is absolutely crazy.

0:11:280:11:32

# You would've never known...

0:11:320:11:34

I can imagine that being a bit of a nightmare, having to gig at age 15.

0:11:340:11:38

Because I think it would seem fun at first but, to be fair,

0:11:380:11:41

you want your mum's cooking, really, don't you?

0:11:410:11:44

That's four punk rock Ambo points

0:11:440:11:46

for braving it on the road

0:11:460:11:48

on the Warped Tour.

0:11:480:11:50

With their music being released

0:11:500:11:52

and wowing audiences around the US, Paramore hit the big time, right?

0:11:520:11:56

Well, not quite. Despite having heaps of fans,

0:11:560:11:59

Paramore's first single from the album didn't even make the charts.

0:11:590:12:03

Awkward! But they didn't give up, obviously.

0:12:030:12:06

And it was their second album, Riot, which made them

0:12:060:12:09

big superstars in the US, UK and the best country of all, Australia.

0:12:090:12:14

Two albums and worldwide success

0:12:180:12:21

when Hayley was just 18 years old.

0:12:210:12:23

Three more Ambo points for global domination, guys.

0:12:230:12:26

Let's have a look at the scores.

0:12:280:12:30

It's a close one,

0:12:310:12:32

but Paramore's daring punk tour at

0:12:320:12:34

the age of 15 has put them

0:12:340:12:36

one Ambo point ahead.

0:12:360:12:38

Jessie J will have to pull out all

0:12:380:12:40

the stops in the next round.

0:12:400:12:42

If you're on Team Jessie and you're not happy,

0:12:420:12:44

get on to the CBBC website and have your say.

0:12:440:12:47

Round Two - Pop Success.

0:12:520:12:55

This is all about how hard these guys have been working to

0:12:550:12:58

stay at the top of the charts.

0:12:580:13:00

First up, JJ.

0:13:000:13:02

It's pretty obvious that our Jessie is a talented little scamp.

0:13:020:13:06

Not only does she have an amazing voice,

0:13:060:13:09

but she's also written all the songs on both of her albums.

0:13:090:13:11

Wow.

0:13:110:13:13

Not only that, but what you might not know is that she also

0:13:130:13:15

writes for other artists, including this gem of a pop track.

0:13:150:13:19

-SHE SINGS:

-# And the Jay Z song was on...

0:13:190:13:21

# And the Jay Z song was on

0:13:210:13:23

# So I put my hands up They're playing my song

0:13:230:13:26

# The butterflies fly away... #

0:13:260:13:28

Take three Ambo points for some awesome song-writing action, Jessie.

0:13:280:13:33

Like Jessie J, Hayley loves writing songs.

0:13:340:13:38

She's written the lyrics to every song on every Paramore record,

0:13:380:13:41

which is like 50 songs!

0:13:410:13:43

In fact, she likes writing so much that she wrote the lyrics to

0:13:430:13:47

Fences on their second album during an exam.

0:13:470:13:50

That's a bit naughty. This girl!

0:13:500:13:53

MUSIC: "Fences" by Paramore

0:13:530:13:55

I'm going to give you three Ambo

0:13:550:13:57

points for some writing creativity

0:13:570:13:59

but I'm going to take off two

0:13:590:14:02

for not concentrating in your exam.

0:14:020:14:04

Tut-tut.

0:14:040:14:05

It's not just Paramore's writing skills that set them apart.

0:14:080:14:11

As any true fan will tell you, the best thing about them is their gigs.

0:14:110:14:15

We are Paramore!

0:14:150:14:19

With a band like Paramore, it sounds great on record

0:14:240:14:26

but it sounds phenomenal when you see it live.

0:14:260:14:28

I actually went to see Paramore in concert when I was about 13.

0:14:320:14:35

I was dancing to all the music. I got the T-shirt.

0:14:350:14:38

I'm a massive fan of Paramore. I love them. Very, very special.

0:14:380:14:41

Paramore play arenas all over the world.

0:14:430:14:45

But even that's not enough for them.

0:14:450:14:48

In March 2014, they created their own floating

0:14:480:14:51

festival on a Caribbean cruise ship called Parahoy.

0:14:510:14:54

That's three Ambo points for putting in the gigging hours

0:14:540:14:57

and conquering land and sea.

0:14:570:15:00

But hold up!

0:15:000:15:01

They're not the only ones who aren't afraid to get up onstage.

0:15:010:15:05

And for Jessie, it proved to be a bit of a hazard.

0:15:050:15:09

In 2011, she seriously hurt her ankle

0:15:090:15:11

when rehearsing for one of her gigs.

0:15:110:15:13

Now, I wasn't there,

0:15:130:15:15

but I'm pretty sure I can imagine how this went down.

0:15:150:15:17

-AMBERLEY SINGS:

-# It's not about the money, money, money

0:15:190:15:21

# We don't need your money, money, money

0:15:210:15:23

# We just wanna make the world dance... #

0:15:230:15:26

Dance with me! Oops. Whoa! Ah! Oooh!

0:15:260:15:29

Oh, guys, I've hurt my ankle. I think it's broken.

0:15:290:15:33

Talent down. My career is over.

0:15:330:15:36

Or was it?

0:15:360:15:38

CHEERING

0:15:380:15:40

I made it!

0:15:400:15:42

That's right, your eyes aren't deceiving you.

0:15:440:15:47

That's Jessie J performing onstage with a broken ankle.

0:15:470:15:51

She could barely stand

0:15:510:15:53

and did every gig sat on a throne with her leg in plaster.

0:15:530:15:57

Yeah, unbelievable. I know.

0:15:570:15:59

MUSIC: "Mamma Knows Best" by Jessie J

0:16:010:16:04

Most people, if they hurt themselves, they'd probably try

0:16:040:16:07

and use that as an excuse not to have to go to work or school.

0:16:070:16:10

But Jessie J continued to perform.

0:16:100:16:12

So she almost turned this leg cast into part of her outfit.

0:16:120:16:16

# Something going down... #

0:16:160:16:19

That just really shows something about her work ethic.

0:16:190:16:21

Because nothing was going to get in her way.

0:16:210:16:23

She wasn't going to let any of her fans down.

0:16:230:16:26

And she had a schedule and she was going to stick to it.

0:16:260:16:29

One leg or two legs.

0:16:290:16:31

Now, that is dedication to the pop cause.

0:16:310:16:35

Five Ambo points to you, Jessie J.

0:16:350:16:37

# Take your stuff and roll

0:16:370:16:40

# Cos you're not... #

0:16:400:16:42

Once Jessie's plaster was off, nothing was stopping her.

0:16:420:16:45

And what came next was maybe her greatest achievement of all.

0:16:450:16:48

Performing in front of royalty at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

0:16:480:16:53

# I'm feeling sexy and free

0:16:530:16:55

# Like glitter's raining on me... #

0:16:560:16:58

Being asked to perform at the Diamond Jubilee really cemented

0:17:000:17:03

Jessie J's place in the pop world in the UK.

0:17:030:17:07

I do love a good royal connection.

0:17:080:17:11

Two regal Ambo points to you, Jessie.

0:17:110:17:14

And it's not just singing

0:17:140:17:15

that Jessie works so hard at.

0:17:150:17:17

In 2012, she was a coach on The Voice for two series.

0:17:170:17:21

Have another Ambo point

0:17:210:17:22

for some extra curricular activity.

0:17:220:17:24

Whilst Jessie's been on TV with Tom Jones, since Paramore have been

0:17:240:17:28

famous they've been working hard to get in touch with their fans.

0:17:280:17:32

For their second album, Paramore ran a competition where fans

0:17:320:17:35

could win a chance to sing on their record. Cue mass hysteria.

0:17:350:17:39

Amongst Paramore fans.

0:17:390:17:41

They entered lots and lots of videos online of themselves singing.

0:17:410:17:45

And the winner was Mary Bonney, from Virginia.

0:17:450:17:48

And we just so happen to be right outside her house.

0:17:480:17:50

# I've hoped for change and it gets better every day... #

0:17:500:17:55

This is Mary's winning entry video.

0:17:550:17:57

She didn't just get to sing on the album,

0:17:570:17:59

she also got to hang out with the band all day long.

0:17:590:18:02

And I'm going to get all the goss. So keen!

0:18:020:18:06

Mary!

0:18:060:18:08

# Whoa!

0:18:100:18:12

# Whoa!

0:18:120:18:13

# Whoa!

0:18:130:18:14

# Whoa! #

0:18:140:18:16

Mary, I'm not going to lie,

0:18:160:18:17

I'm devastated that I wasn't involved in this competition.

0:18:170:18:20

Tell me everything. How did it go down?

0:18:200:18:22

The best moment, I feel like, was when Hayley first walked in the room.

0:18:220:18:25

She walks in and she's really friendly. She's like, "Hey, Mary."

0:18:250:18:27

And the fact that she knew my name from the video...

0:18:270:18:30

She was like, "Oh, I loved your video. It was so funny."

0:18:300:18:32

I'm like, "You're great. You're amazing." She's so great.

0:18:320:18:35

# Haven't you people ever heard of... #

0:18:350:18:37

Mary was living the dream, and hanging out with

0:18:370:18:39

her favourite band before getting down to business

0:18:390:18:42

and singing on the song Born For This.

0:18:420:18:45

It was just like a couple of lines that we repeated back.

0:18:450:18:48

So it was me and my sister and all of them.

0:18:480:18:51

We're like yelling at these backing vocals. It was just... It was great.

0:18:510:18:55

# We were born for this

0:18:550:18:58

# We were born for this

0:18:580:19:01

# We were born for this

0:19:010:19:03

# We were born for this... #

0:19:030:19:06

When the CD came out,

0:19:060:19:07

if you look really closely in the liner, you can see...

0:19:070:19:10

Born For This - addition vocals - Mary Bonney.

0:19:100:19:13

And then my sister Kate Bonney. I'll always have that.

0:19:130:19:16

Wow, I've got to admit,

0:19:160:19:17

before this, I was a Paramore fan about this much.

0:19:170:19:20

-Now, I am just this big a Paramore fan.

-Awesome. Welcome to the club.

0:19:200:19:23

Paramore sure love their fans.

0:19:230:19:25

And have been working hard to give a little back.

0:19:250:19:28

Three Ambo points for some awesome fan love.

0:19:280:19:31

But how does all this work that Jessie

0:19:310:19:33

and Paramore have been doing affect their record sales?

0:19:330:19:36

Well, let's take a look-see.

0:19:360:19:38

# It's not about the money, money, money... #

0:19:380:19:41

No, it's not about the money,

0:19:410:19:43

but Jessie J has sold a whopping 6.4 million records in the UK.

0:19:430:19:47

Whereas Paramore have only sold 2.6 million records in Britain.

0:19:490:19:56

But have sold 13.8 million digital tracks in their home country.

0:19:560:20:00

That's two Ambo points to both artists.

0:20:000:20:03

That's Round Two over.

0:20:030:20:05

Let's check out the scores.

0:20:050:20:06

Both JJ and Paramore

0:20:060:20:08

are hard workers.

0:20:080:20:09

But Jessie's broken leg performances

0:20:090:20:11

have given her the edge.

0:20:110:20:13

Paramore has 20. Jessie J has 23.

0:20:130:20:16

It's all to play for

0:20:160:20:17

in the final round.

0:20:170:20:18

If you don't agree with me, then get onto the CBBC website

0:20:180:20:22

and get typing.

0:20:220:20:23

Round Three - Pop Style.

0:20:300:20:32

This is all about our celebrities' lives - clothes, cars,

0:20:320:20:36

pets or whatever else they splash their cash on.

0:20:360:20:39

Jessie and Paramore may be from totally different countries

0:20:390:20:43

and have totally different sounds, but there is no denying that

0:20:430:20:46

both Hayley and Jessie know how to stand out from a crowd.

0:20:460:20:50

# In the blink of an eye

0:20:500:20:53

# I was falling from the sky... #

0:20:530:20:57

Jessie J has a pretty strong style.

0:20:570:20:59

And to give us the lowdown, I'm going to talk to X Factor stylist,

0:20:590:21:02

Frank Strachan, who's actually styled Jessie himself in the past.

0:21:020:21:07

Jessie J loves to stand out a little bit.

0:21:080:21:11

Does that kind of help her, in terms of becoming a bigger pop star?

0:21:110:21:14

Oh, absolutely.

0:21:140:21:16

It's important, as a stylist, when you're dressing someone,

0:21:160:21:19

to make sure you don't just dress them to look nice,

0:21:190:21:21

because no-one talks or is interesting in someone looking nice.

0:21:210:21:24

You want to see something that's maybe a little bit wrong.

0:21:240:21:27

Maybe it's not exactly how you'd wear a dress

0:21:270:21:29

if you were going to meet your friends for lunch.

0:21:290:21:32

It's something that's a little bit askew that then is going to

0:21:320:21:35

get attention. It's going to get you in the press.

0:21:350:21:38

So Jessie's got the bling factor.

0:21:380:21:41

Three gl-Ambo points for an original style.

0:21:410:21:44

So if I want to get the Jessie J look, what's one thing I can do?

0:21:440:21:47

Even though she wears totally different outfits all the time,

0:21:470:21:50

she's always playing with fashion, she always goes for really big,

0:21:500:21:53

strong gold jewellery.

0:21:530:21:54

-Even like this cuff.

-Yeah?

-Big chunky cuff. Go on. Let's give that a go.

0:21:570:22:02

-Oh, yeah. Who am I?

-Jessie J.

0:22:020:22:05

Yes, I am. Put it here.

0:22:050:22:07

That's Jessie's fashion.

0:22:070:22:09

# Can't make my own decisions... #

0:22:090:22:12

But how will Paramore stack up?

0:22:120:22:15

It's fair to say that Hayley has her own distinctive style.

0:22:150:22:19

Or should I say styles? She'll wear anything, as long as it's cool.

0:22:190:22:24

# I've been changing... #

0:22:240:22:26

Have two quirky Ambo points

0:22:260:22:28

for mixing it up.

0:22:280:22:30

But that's not the whole story.

0:22:300:22:32

There's one thing you can't ignore about Paramore's style.

0:22:320:22:35

Hayley's hair. And you wouldn't believe it,

0:22:350:22:38

I'm about to get my hair done by her stylist, which is good timing,

0:22:380:22:41

cos I have a situation.

0:22:410:22:42

-Hiya!

-Hi.

0:22:450:22:47

Get in here.

0:22:470:22:49

-How are you?

-Really good, actually. I have a hair situation.

0:22:490:22:53

-I would say so.

-Do you reckon you could help me out?

0:22:530:22:56

Um... I think there's... I think so.

0:22:560:23:00

-I think we can do this.

-Let's get to work.

-Are you ready?

0:23:000:23:03

-I'm ready.

-I can't wait. I'm a little frightened.

0:23:030:23:06

I can't believe I'm getting my hair done by Hayley's stylist.

0:23:060:23:10

Brian is one of Nashville's top hair aficionados.

0:23:100:23:13

And I'm going to get all the goss on Hayley's locks.

0:23:130:23:16

Excited!

0:23:160:23:17

# It's just my humble opinion... #

0:23:170:23:23

Oh! I just feel like a new person already, Brian.

0:23:270:23:30

-We're on our way there.

-When did you first meet Hayley?

0:23:300:23:35

I met Hayley, let's see, eight, almost nine years ago.

0:23:350:23:39

I remember the first time I did her hair for a music video.

0:23:390:23:43

It was for Crush, Crush, Crush and I styled it.

0:23:430:23:45

# If you want to play it like a game... #

0:23:450:23:48

I thought she was cute and fun to begin with.

0:23:480:23:50

And then she got in front of the camera.

0:23:500:23:52

They said 'action' and it was like this completely different person,

0:23:520:23:56

came out of nowhere. I remember standing there going...

0:23:560:24:00

# Scribbled out the truth with your lies

0:24:000:24:04

# Your little spies... #

0:24:040:24:05

Is she really fun to work with?

0:24:050:24:07

Cos she seems like she'd just be up for anything with her hair.

0:24:070:24:10

Oh, it's... Yeah, the crazier, the better.

0:24:100:24:13

The more we're out there with stuff, the more she loves it.

0:24:130:24:17

And she's so creative. She comes up with a lot of her own looks.

0:24:170:24:23

Has she ever come up to you with an idea and you've been like,

0:24:230:24:26

I don't know about that, that seems a bit much?

0:24:260:24:29

Um, actually, yes.

0:24:290:24:30

And it's probably one of my favourite looks and videos that we've done.

0:24:300:24:33

It was Still Into You. The pink and orange hair was totally her idea.

0:24:330:24:39

And I was like, "Are you sure?"

0:24:390:24:41

And honestly, it is one of my favourite music videos and looks.

0:24:410:24:44

# Some things just, some things just make sense

0:24:440:24:48

# And even after all this time... #

0:24:480:24:51

Ah! Brian, hands down, I love it. I think it's amazing.

0:24:510:24:56

Thank you so much. I'm sorry for playing it safe.

0:24:560:24:58

Next time, I promise, we'll chuck some orange in

0:24:580:25:00

and we'll do a full Hayley. But bring it in.

0:25:000:25:03

'Brian is awesome!

0:25:030:25:05

'He sorted my hair out, and more importantly,

0:25:050:25:07

'makes Hayley's hair radical.

0:25:070:25:09

'Four hair dye Ambo points.'

0:25:090:25:11

# I stare at my reflection in the mirror... #

0:25:110:25:14

It's not just the clothes and hair that these two are about.

0:25:140:25:18

They also like to hang up the bling and do a thing or two for charity.

0:25:180:25:22

In March 2013, live on the BBC for Comic Relief, thousands watched

0:25:220:25:28

as Lenny Henry helped relieve Jessie J of her sleek black bob.

0:25:280:25:32

-Ooh!

-This is so going on eBay!

0:25:320:25:36

But Jessie was after more than a bit of a trim,

0:25:370:25:40

and had all her hair completely shaved off.

0:25:400:25:43

CHEERING

0:25:430:25:45

MUSIC: "Domino" by Jessie J

0:25:450:25:50

That's five Ambo points to Jessie

0:25:500:25:52

for changing her style for charity.

0:25:520:25:54

And, of course,

0:25:540:25:55

Paramore aren't afraid to get their hands dirty for a good cause either.

0:25:550:25:58

In 2010, Paramore went back to Florida, to where they had written

0:25:580:26:02

their first album, and helped build houses for underprivileged families.

0:26:020:26:07

That's when they were painting each other instead of the houses.

0:26:070:26:10

Five Ambo points for a DIY charitable style.

0:26:100:26:15

Hey, it's not all fashion,

0:26:150:26:16

hair and charity.

0:26:160:26:18

Taylor, the guitarist of Paramore,

0:26:180:26:20

spends his time collecting something totally random.

0:26:200:26:24

Gnomes. He has them everywhere -

0:26:240:26:27

in his garden, studio, wherever.

0:26:270:26:30

That's one extra gnome-tastic Ambo

0:26:300:26:33

point for an out there style.

0:26:330:26:35

And that takes us to the end of Round Three.

0:26:350:26:38

Well, guys, we're at the end of another Pop Slam,

0:26:420:26:44

and it has been amazing. But who has won the Ambo?

0:26:440:26:48

Will it be Jessie J or Paramore?

0:26:480:26:51

Let's find out what we've learned.

0:26:510:26:53

It's been a show of rock and pop.

0:26:540:26:57

But Jessie J and Paramore are not so different.

0:26:570:27:00

Both started out early, write their own songs, look amazing,

0:27:000:27:04

and like to do what they can for a good cause.

0:27:040:27:07

It's a very, very close Pop Slam.

0:27:070:27:10

Ladies and gentlemen, it's the moment we've all been waiting for.

0:27:100:27:15

The points have been counted and independently verified by me.
