After she recently revealed she was diagnosed with an illness affecting her ear, singer Jessie J returned to performing with a video on Instagram of her singing 'Defying Gravity' from Wicked!

In the caption, Jessie writes, "Defying Gravity with no makeup on swollen (allergies) eyes in house clothes putting on a mini concert (one song sung twice) after not singing for over a month with a sassy about of reverb to an audience of one in my living room is a whole mood...We gotta start back up somewhere witches."
