In the newspaper today it says that Jessie J based her new music video "who you are" on Sinead O'connor's classic hit, "Nothing Compares 2 U". I know it's "take it as a pinch of salt" but I don't really get why a paper would lie about that lol.

Anyway, am i the only one failing to see the resemblance?

NC2U song and video is far more superior than Jessie's. Sorry Jessie love!

I can't see any resemblence either.Do people really think that they are alike just because Jessie did 90% (NOT the whole thing) with close-up shot and kept a straight face for 3:30 minutes??PLEASE!!Even though they're technically very different, Sinnead O'Connor's video evokes an emotion and a vibe that Jessie doesn't...

But there's no denying that Jessie is a very confusing artist.She covers Whitney Houston on her YouTube channel, then she releases a Ke$ha song with a Rihanna accent, then she releases a Katy-Perry copy+paste and now she is supposedly getting influenced by Sinnead O'Connor.OK then, who is JESSIE?

I actually hate Nothing Compares 2 U. It's so overrated, and I find it so boring.

I think people are just getting confused between VIDEO and SONG.

The VIDEOS might be similar (which is what the newspaper said). The SONGS aren't very similar (and the newspaper didn't claim the SONGS are similar, only the VIDEO).

And just because the newspaper said she based the video on it, they're not saying Jessie J's video is as good as the original. They're just saying she drew inspiration from it.

Basically, I think you're reading too much into it. Nobody said Jessie J's song or video is as good as Sinead O'Connor's.

If you're adressing me, I assure you that I know what the article talked about I just don't see how she got inspired and my 2nd paragraph is about how she always gets "influenced" by someone else and never adds a bit of JESSIE in.The only song that kind of reflects her personality in the whole album is 'Who You Are', so if she had to get inspiration for the video by someone else, then I'm just wondering who this girl is...That's all
