Useful detail

Performance tip

For Jealousy, map the verse order carefully because the lyric gives you relatively few repeated lines as landmarks. For Jealousy, that detail will matter more than adding extra volume.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Jealousy makes sense for a singer who can handle room to shape the lines without cramming them and sell the lyric’s point of view. It has more changing verse text than repeated hook material. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
