Pop star Jessie J says she felt typecast on the reality show 'The Voice' because she was female.

The 25-year-old singer said his co-judges - Tom Jones, will.I.Am and Danny O'Donoghue, used to come late on the show but they never got such tags, reported Digital Spy.

"The diva thing (routinely turning up late to film) on the show made me laugh, because [which female presenter] hasn't had it? I spoke to Tulisa about it and Kelly Rowland and Nicole Scherzinger, I know all of them. They all had the same thing.

"No-one spoke about Danny, Will or Tom when they were late - but we were all late - some days. Like we all are for work sometimes. But it's just one of those things - it is what it is," she said.
 

The 'Wild' hitmaker also discussed her opinion on women in the music industry, saying, "You know, as a woman, it is tough to get to the top - like to get to that respected level in this industry - in any industry I think.

"Like, I'm sitting at the same awards ceremony tables. I'm going to the same massive meetings. I'm performing at the Olympics with all these guys.
