Jessie J has praised Justin Bieber and said the teen star is a “massive inspiration”.
In an exclusive interview with Gigwise, the 22-year-old singer said she admired Bieber, who turns 17 tomorrow (March 1).
“I don't think people realise how talented he is, if you think about what he has achieved and he isn’t eighteen yet it’s crazy,” she said.
“He's a massive inspiration and whether people hate or love his music they can't deny the fact that he's inspiring thousands of young people to live their dream.”
Jessie J admitted she was a “supporter of hard work” and described herself as a “Bieber diva”.
The singer's debut album 'Who You Are' is released today (February 28). Check out Gigwise's full Jessie J interview now.
