Given all the media hype surrounding her, I was somewhat apprehensive about listening to Jessie J as I just didn't want to be disappointed. So many such artists attract this huge level of hype and they just turn out to be a bit rubbish.

So imagine my feelings when I turn on my TV for five minutes and finally hear Jessie J's hit 'Price Tag'...

...and I find out that she actually sounds exactly like my favourite ever UK female singer-songwriter, the poptastic and hugely talented Natasha Bedingfield!

I was virtually in tears. Of delight, of course!

... And you know what? I think the critics may well be right. You know, it sounds ridiculous to even suggest this, but I think Jessie might be EVEN BETTER than Natasha!

SO... the big question... who is better? Jessie J or Natasha Bedingfield?
