Mel C says Jessie J is "one of the best vocalists that this country has ever produced"

Spice Girl Melanie C has praised songstress Jessie J as "one of the best - if not the best - vocalists that this country has ever produced".

In an interview with the Huffington Post, Mel C explained that the 'Laserlight' hitmaker is redefining girl power for the new generation:

"She's got great attitude, I think that she's a great role model for young girls. I think we're lacking that in the celebrity culture that we seem to have at the moment. I think she's taken girl power on to a new generation."

"She has a voice to die for, she's great live, and I can't fault the girl."

Both Mel C and Jessie J were in attendance at the launch of Britain's Music is GREAT week yesterday (May 14), where the 'Price Tag' star spoke about the pressures of being in the public eye as an artist.
