Some people have some crazy hidden talents, but Jessie J's might take the cake.

Appearing on The Graham Norton Show alongside Harvey Weinstein, David Tennant and Olivia Colman, the "Price Tag" singer explained that campaigning for a Grammy is a little different from vying for a movie award because singing the same song everywhere might get annoying.

Quick to help find a way to promote "Bang Bang," Graham Norton decided to let his other guests on a little secret...he revealed her "party trick." It turns out the already incredibly talented performer can talk and sing with her mouth closed! Her talent isn't just a bunch of garbled words either; she can actually be heard very clearly even though her lips don't open!

"I discovered when I was little that I could pretend I was in a box," she said. "I was a lonely child with two other sisters."

But it was only when she got older that she discovered that her stuck-in-a-box skill could expand into singing. Naturally the Grammy nominee opted to give the audience a special version of "Bang Bang."

"Talk about campaigning," the host said. "This show is shown in America!"

And just because her mouth is closed doesn't mean Jessie J doesn't put in the same effort. The British singer crushed it! Seriously, give her a stage and a mic and she could put on a concert with her mouth closed.

Her talents don't stop at her party tricks. She also doubles as a fantastic songwriter and is responsible for megahits such as Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A." The song was so successful, she said, that it ended up paying her bills for three years.

"You've got to write songs, that's where the money is, being an artist. "'Party in the U.S.A.' paid my rent for, like, three years," she told Glamour. "Actually it was way longer than that. That's where I get most of my money. I write songs. I'm a singer. I love endorsements and stuff, but that's all added on."
