While in the midst of recovering from a serious injury earlier this year, Jessie made the special trip from the UK for the broadcast.
For the past few months Jessie has been on the road to recovery, working hard on rehabilitation with a team of devoted doctors in the UK. This progress has led to Jessie now being able to travel to the USA for two one-off appearances - X Factor this week and VH1 Divas in mid-December.
"During this whole recovery process, my U.S. fans have been on my mind," she says. "All I can think about is coming back to America and giving those loyal fans who have supported me so much something really wonderful. I promise you it's just around the corner and it starts with "The X Factor". I've been gone for too long. I'm feeling a bit better, but I'm not there yet. As soon as I'm fully healed, I'll be back for a proper run. Until then, thank you for the support. I'm here because of you and I'll heal because of you."
Due to Jessie's injury to her foot, she had to cancel several dates in the US for this fall and winter, including the Katy Perry tour, on account of her doctor advising against long distance travel.
